Managing the shift as the growth of grain-free diets continues

Grain-free dog diets are a hot topic veterinary teams face routinely, shared Danielle Conway, DVM, CVA, VSMT, CCRP, during a session at the Fetch dvm360 Conference in Atlantic City. Austin Littrell summarizes her session here, including:

• Debunking ancestral diets
• Obstacles for nutrition conversations with pet owners
