Pet Nutrition Veterinarian South Philadelphia

Despite the common misconception, veterinarian’s today do not believe that grains are a common source of allergies for pets and are not known to be harmful to long term health. In fact, a recent advisory by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned about a possible connection between grain-free diets and a link to a certain type of heart disease. In the release, the FDA noted that dogs who are not bred predisposed to a disease called DCM (Dilated Cardiomyopathy) are in fact being diagnosed with the disease. The common link between these dogs is that they were fed a diet with peas, lentils, other legume seeds, or potatoes as main ingredients. If you would like to learn more about Nutritional needs in dogs or cats, we recommend making an appointment with a member of our veterinary team to discuss the specific needs for your pet based on breed, age, and lifestyle.
