What dog food is safe for my allergic dog with DCM concerns?

Question

I recently found out about the link to heart disease DCM from some grain free limited ingredient dog foods. We have been feeding our dog one of these foods as he has several allergies (including grains, peanuts and chicken). It seems like they believe the link is to high use of peas, potatoes, and legumes in these foods. My vet suggested I look to skin sensitive formulas but these all seem to have high levels of peas and potatoes. What food can I feed my dog without issues?

I certainly understand your concern. I would use a skin sensitive food like Royal Canin Dog Sensitivity. Royal Canin is not a brand of food that the FDA has implicated in this rise of heart disease in dogs.
