Are grains good or bad for pets?

In Eastern Food Therapy grains play an important role in supporting the digestive tract.

We utilize grains that have beneficial properties to enhance the nutrients your pet is getting. For example:

Rice – helps regulate and improve bowel movements, stabilize blood sugar levels, aid in digestion and boosts the immune system. Rice has resistant starch, which reaches the bowels and stimulates the growth of useful bacteria that help with normal bowel movements.

Whole Oats – offer an incredibly nutritious food packed with important vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fiber and antioxidants which support the thyroid gland and metabolic system. Whole oats are also naturally gluten free.

Whole Grain Barley – high in fiber (intestinal cleanser), vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants all of which help heart health and diabetes protection. It is a cooling grain that contributes to calming inflammatory responses.
