Yes. The “grain-free” trend originally caught on out of frustration over the high carb content and low-quality ingredients in processed dog foods.
Our dog food has always included organic grains because they’re incredibly nutritious. It’s true that canines don’t go around dining on barley and quinoa in the wild. But they do catch prey like mice and rabbits and eat the stomach contents, which include grains in a predigested state. To mirror that scenario, we sprout and soak our grains to break down the cell walls so the valuable micronutrients are easily available.
