I'm sorry Bane has been so sick! It sounds like the Rachel Ray food you gave him may be the cause of this vomiting, as a sudden change in diet can cause these symptoms. The food itself could be causing the symptoms as well. Given that he is still vomiting and won't eat, it's best that Bane is seen by a vet right away. He may need anti-nausea medication to stop the vomiting, which the vet can give him. In addition, because both your dogs experienced vomiting from that food, I would not feed it to them any more. I personally never recommend feeding dogs grain free food unless they have allergies. Dogs do need grains, they are beneficial to their health. I recommend feeding Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams.

Every dog is a little different and you may have to experiment a bit to find the food that Roscoe tolerates the best. I don't know what your budget is, or what is specifically available in your area, but here are a few brand options: Natural Balance Taste of the Wild Merrick Canidae Most of these brands offer grain free treats as well.

Hello. Any of the 3 will be fine. The problem with all 3 of these companies is they do absolutely no true feeding trials with their diets. All of their information comes out of a laboratory. There are basically only 3 companies that do actual feeding trials on living dogs, Hills, Royal Canin & Purina. If you want the best go with these, otherwise, any of the 3 you mentioned will be fine.

Yes, you are correct that there is concern that no grain foods may potentially linked to heart disease, and the FDA is now investigating that. Personally, I recommend feeding Gypsy Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. I feed my own dogs Iams and they love it. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is not known at this time if grain free diets are actually better than diets with grain. I usually recommend feeding a high quality diet. Purina is an excellent diet but if you do not have access to this diet, there are others that you could consider that are also excellent such as Hill's Science Diet, Royal canin and Iams foods. Grain does not necessarily make dogs gain weight so I would be more focused on the quality and balance of the diet per se. Good luck and have a great day!
