Will you remove peas and legumes from your recipes as they may be linked to DCM in dogs?

After exhaustive investigations, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not received sufficient data to establish a causal relationship between diet or ingredients to DCM, therefore we are not planning to remove these ingredients. It is important to note that legumes and pulses have been used in pet foods for many years, with no evidence to indicate they are inherently dangerous.

Our pet nutrition and veterinary experts select all of our ingredients with the health and well-being of pets in mind. Peas, legumes, lentils and potatoes are included in our grain-free recipes because they are great sources of protein, fiber and antioxidants, and they help to make those recipes complete and balanced. All of our recipes meet both the FDA and the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) guidelines and are complete and balanced.
