Fillers – Allergies

Fillers are the ingredients that basically don’t bring any good to your dog’s health. Why do companies use these? Well, simply because they are much cheaper than meat! For example, several pet food makers use grains as fillers. It’s not that all grains are bad, in fact, some options like quinoa or brown rice are fine, but only in smaller proportion. Whereas heavy grains like oatmeal, barley, white rice should be a strict ‘No’ for your mutt and it can be even more problematic if there is wheat, soy or corn mixed in their food. Probably this would be news to you: dog allergies are majorly caused by wheat!
