The arrival of our new four-legged family member peaked my interest in this topic. A senior citizen who has lived gluten free for twelve years and a puppy who seems to enjoy eating everything she can get her paws on have very little in common, but I did some research anyway.
I found no serious suggestion that dogs can suffer from celiac disease but many thoughts on the idea that a pet can have more energy, a better disposition, and a longer life expectancy, if owners experiment to find the pet food that seems best for their dogs and cats.
I agree with veterinarian who posted these comments. I’m not sure if any of them apply to human beings with gluten intolerance of celiac disease, but they are certainly food for thought.
I buy the Rachel Ray dog food for my dogs. I think that it is gluten free. My older dog who is diabetic, is doing much better with his blood sugar levels. His insulin requirements went down by one-fourth. Also, since one of my dogs wants to lick me in the face, I think it’s safer for me.
