Are grain-free diets bad for dogs? Dr. Lera clears up the myth — and explains why the real concern is pulse-rich ingredients like peas, lentils, chickpeas, and potatoes.
Using Bruce the Doberman as a case example, he shares what a cardiologist once advised: Avoid grain-free diets where pulses are in the first 5–6 ingredients.
Corn? Also just filler.
The key? Look at what your dog’s food is made of — not just what’s missing.

I was mostly listening and only occasionally glancing at the screen while doing a quick chore… Not until you showed the dog did I realize you weren’t talking about humans, and not until the third loop did I realize you said, “animal hospital” in the beginning LOL
My cat had a constantly scabby back and base of her tail and nothing cleared it til we went grain free. Within 3 weeks it was gone, no topical treatments or supplements, just a grain free diet.
What about sweet potato?
So what’s the actual cause of the problem do the legumes block taurine from getting absorbed?
