Can Dogs Eat Grains?

Do you suspect that your dog might prefer NOT to eat grains? Try our two flavors of dog food toppers and three flavors of dog treats that are grain-free (and gluten-free, too!)

Can dogs eat grains? The short answer for most dogs is “yes.”

Grains provide dogs with healthy nutrients, fats, antioxidants, and carbohydrates. The most common types of grains found in dog food are wheat, corn, barley, and rice.

Some Dogs Can’t Tolerate Grains
While it’s rare, some dogs have allergic reactions to grains which could pop up at any time, even if they’ve eaten the same dog food for years.

Additionally, as dogs get older, they may have more trouble tolerating grain in their diets or may start gaining too much weight because of grains.

Symptoms Of Grain Allergies
In dogs, symptoms of grain allergies or an intolerance for grains can include:

• Sensitive stomachs
• Digestive issues (including vomiting and diarrhea)
• Skin issues
• Excessive itching and scratching
• Obsessive licking
• Hair loss
• Ear infections

Dog Food Toppers Without Grains
At Portland Pet Food Company, we make two tasty flavors of grain-free dog food toppers:

• Pork and potato grain-free dog food topper (which is also gluten-free)
• Turkey and yams grain-free dog food topper (which is also gluten-free)

Both of our grain-free flavors of dog food toppers contain carbohydrates, but the carbs come from potatoes and yams, not grains.

We also make three tasty flavors of dog food toppers with grains:

• Beef and rice dog food topper
