Is grain-free dog food safe for my Shih Tzu? What are the concerns?

Question

Should I buy my Shih Tzu grain free food? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | spayed | 9.5 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Trixie. Very few dogs have true grain allergies. Grain-free diets were developed as a marketing strategy. There has been a new study released by the FDA detailing an association between diets and a specific type of heart disease. So at this time, I would not recommend feeding a grain-free diet. I hope this information helps!
