Pet food confuses me so badly. I dunno what's up or down anymore. 
So I've just been made aware that Grain-Free foods are currently having a spot of controversy... There's a potential risk of heart disease if they eat it for too long? When did that happen? I've heard nothing about this.
On top of that I was always told to avoid any pet food with corn in it because it's "not natural", "they can't digest it", and "it's just used as a filler by lazy companies".
I was made to feel like a bad pet owner because I fed my old dog Dylan pet foods that had both corn and other grains mixed in... so I thought I was doing the right thing by switching to fancy grain-free foods for my new dog Zael.
It's cost me so much money and now I find out it might have all been a really bad decision to change my buying habits. I'm so lost... as far as I'm aware my dog doesn't have any food allergies or intolerance, so should I go back to my roots and start buying the same foods I got for my old boy?
Zael is currently on a kibble called Millies Wolfheart HUNTER MIX That is an 80/20 grain-free dog food.

I feel like all I do is ask questions... but I kinda feel I oughta know what's up in the dog world.
