My vet who really doesn’t like grain free diets has approved as she has thrived on it. She gained a pound when I switched from kibble mostly because she actually eats her meals now. Her hair is shiny and she’s full of energy. It’s been a life changer for us and they guarantee it 100% so you can return it if your fur baby doesn’t like it.

Hey, Patricia.
Chicken is just a popular and healthy protein, but there are a variety of other foods available based around other ingredients. You may want to check out the salmon and whitefish-based recipe from Halo, or Nutro’s lamb recipe.
The issue with grain-free diets has to do with the fact that some have been correlated with DCM (a heart condition). You can read more about the issue here and here, but, generally speaking, it is probably wise to stick to a grain-inclusive diet, unless your dog has a specific problem digesting grains (which is very rare).
As always, just be sure to discuss the issue with your vet.
Best of luck and thanks for reading!

My toy poodle will not eat chicken anything. Also, I have been cautioned about
a grain free diet being bad for their kidneys. What is a dog owner suppose to believe?

That’s what I have. He won’t eat any hard kibble or evangers can food. Thawed frozen food is too expensive.
