Our new Performance Formula and Maintenance Formula dog food recipes do not contain any legumes so even though there is no correlation between plant-based diets and DCM we have eliminated this from our new recipes! This is a complex issue, but with current information there is no correlation between plant-based diets and DCM.
All current data suggests that if a link, in fact, exists between diet and DCM, it may be due to nutritional deficiencies in the diet and since our food is nutritionally-complete, this won’t be an issue.
