Question

What are the benefits of a grain free diet for dogs?

Answer 1

The benefits of feeding your dog a grain free diet and grain free dog food are shinier coat, better smelling breath, increased energy, less fur shedding etc.

A grain free diet can also help to reduce the dogs food allergies and keeps the dogs stomach feeling fuller while eating less of the food.

However I wouldn't strictly feed your dog a grain free diet since a dog only eating grain free food has an increased risk of developing heart disease due to an enlarged heart caused by eating a strictly grain free diet.

Feed your dog some grain free food but also feed them grain based food for the best health for your dog.

Answer 2

A grain free diet can be beneficial for dogs in some ways but if the dog only eats a grain free diet then they have a much higher risk of heart disease.

Grain Free dog food is also more expensive than regular grain based dog food so you'll be spending more money as well.

I would go for partial grain free diet sometimes and then other days feed them grain based dog food to keep the dog healthy and prevent heart disease.
