Seeking healthy, non-grain-free dog food to prevent heart issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 70 lbs

I am concerned about the grain free food since it never was really said if it caused heart issues or not - and obviously I don't want that to happen to my dogs and we're looking for a healthy food that is good for our dogs that isn't grain free and I don't know what to get. What would you recommend?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your dog. I would recommend a large breed formula based on his profile. I recommend Hill's, Purina ProPlan or Royal Canin. These are large pet food companies that do extensive research on their diets. They have veterinary nutritionists on staff as well. They ensure their diets are properly formulated by performing feeding trials as opposed to just chemical analysis in a laboratory. These are benefits not offered by smaller niche market companies. I hope this information helps!
