In Dog Advisor’s release today you wrote “The Food and Drug Administration has named 16 dog food brands with an
increased risk of a type of canine heart disease known as
dilated cardiomyopathy… or DCM.”
This is not an accurate statement. The recent FDA update did NOT say the 16 named brands had “increased risk”…. Dogs within this limited and inconclusive study were reported as having eaten raw.. home cooked.. grain.. no grain.. canned. Of course some of the top popular brands would be among those.
What is especially unfair about the naming of brands is several of the top most reputable brands known for consistency of quality in all aspects. Most of which also
Produce multiple blends, several without peas, lentils or potatoes in the top ten ingredients. Ppl need only select a blend they feel most comfortable feeding.
Whether intended or not, naming the brands will likely do great harm to some of the best companies with the best track record right here named as such on Dog Food Advisors.
But again to be clear… FDA did NOT state the brands had increased risk for causing DCM.
Perhaps a retraction is warranted.
