Is 'grain free' actually better, or is it marketing?

Genuinely asking. Half the internet says grains are filler, the other half says grain-free is a fad and points at the DCM investigation. I don't know who to believe and my dog doesn't have any diagnosed allergy.

    Short version from my vet: unless your dog has an actual grain sensitivity, whole grains are fine and cheap energy. Grain-free isn't bad, it's just not automatically better.

    The DCM thing is specifically about legume-heavy formulas, not grain-free as a category. Worth reading the actual FDA updates rather than the headlines.

    That's helpful, thanks. I think I've been paying extra for a label.

    The ingredient panel tells you more than the front of the bag ever will.
