Senior dog with digestive issues: What food to avoid grain-free risks?

Question

I have a 12-yr. old Jack Russell Terrier who apparently has some digestive issues. Her stomach gurgles loudly at times - not frequently but occasionally. When this happens, she eats grass. I just heard that no grain foods may cause heart disease. What would you recommend as a dog food? I currently give her dry food in the morning & canned food in the pm. She was a rescue dog & drank very little water when we first got her. She drinks more now but that's the reason I give her wet food. (Wellness).

Yes, you are correct that there is concern that no grain foods may potentially linked to heart disease, and the FDA is now investigating that. Personally, I recommend feeding Gypsy Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. I feed my own dogs Iams and they love it. I hope this helps!
