Yes, there are a number of gluten free dog foods. I have an ever-expanding list on my Website at www.dogtorj.com. This is a crucial dietary issue for pets. I have been recommending gluten-free diets along with dairy-free, corn-free, and soy-free diets for over 8 years in my veterinary practice with absolutely miraculous results. My Website goes into great detail as to the benefits of this approach and the astounding results I have seen. This can be easily understood once the reader grasps the phenomenal amount of harm the "big 4"- gluten (wheat, barley, rye), dairy, soy and corn- are doing to not only dogs and cats but millions of people. Food intolerance is a huge medical issue in both veterinary and human medicine and the understanding of this vital topic is generating a paradigm shift in how we view and treat disease. I hope this helps, John B. Symes, D.V.M. (aka "Dogtor J") www.dogtorj.com

If you are talking about the smoked dog bones you can buy singularly no. If you are talking about dog biscuits in a box as long as they don't have wheat gluten in them then they are fine.

Why gluten free dog food is better than other food?
Objection! Presumes facts not in evidence. That said, dogs in the wild are not known for eating wheat, so it's possible that they might have difficulty digesting wheat proteins. Whether they actually do or not, and how much difference it really makes, is an open question.
Can you feed your dog chunky beef soup?
I recently got a cat and found my dogs were super jealous of the cat's wet food. I decided to add a small amount of wet dog food on top of the dog's regular food. I bought Beneful Turkey and the dogs LOVE it. I realized it looks a lot like Chunky Soup and so I compared ingredients. From what I found, the Chunky soup was a MUCH healthier option. It didn't include the corn starch or meat by-products that were in the wet dog food but it DID include the same green beans and rice. Also, in the wet food, wheat gluten was the second ingredient, while in the soup wheat gluten was the second last ingredient. Keep in mind I was comparing Turkey wet food to Chicken and Rice Chunky Soup.

What should you feed labrador retrievers?
Any high-quality dog food is fine--whether dry, canned, or mixed. Try to avoid grocery store brands and shop in specialty pet food stores if you can afford it. Whatever you buy, make sure that the food does not contain any of these words in the ingredients: wheat, gluten, byproducts, or fillers. Labs have a tendency to overeat and get fat, and most dog food packaging will have recommendations that result in too much food for most Labs--so you have to adjust your dog's food amount based on the dog's weight.

What fillers are used in dog food?
There are quite a few, and not all dog food has the same ones. This is something to ask your vet about if you want the specifics. Stay away from dog foods that have by-products, corn, wheat, soy, gluten, and dyes in it. Sometimes people like to stay away from chicken because it is a high allergan. Try going with a grain free diet, Taste of the wild makes one along with Innova, Natural Balance and Evo. If you want just an all around good food with whole grains try Wellness, Canidae, Solid Gold, Fromm, or Eagle Pack. Hope that helps
