[nagdu] grain free food

[Julie J]

Yes, millet is a grain.  I guess I wasn't being very accurate when I said I 
feed a grain free food.  I did go through several foods in the search for 
one that worked for Monty.  He cannot have corn, wheat or soy at least not 
in large quantities.  Belle absolutely cannot have corn in any amount, but 
is fine with other grains.

It just depends on your individual dog.  The fish food has made a huge 
difference in ear health though.

Hope you can find what works for you.
Julie
