Ingredient concerns

• Chickpeas (low concern): Another legume included in the FDA's investigation into grain-free diets and potential DCM risk. Frequently used in grain-free pet foods as a carbohydrate source. The same concerns about taurine metabolism interference apply as with peas and lentils.
• Lentils (low concern): Like peas, lentils are part of the legume family implicated in the FDA's ongoing investigation into grain-free diets and DCM in dogs. Their high use in grain-free formulations as both carbohydrate and protein sources has raised concerns about potential interference with taurine metabolism.
