What food do you feed your dogs?
I'm taking home a male GSD when he is 8 weeks old and am leaning toward Fromm Large Breed Puppy.

Horse meat is naturally gluten free.

Do you even know what a gluten is?

Gluten free is a fad, unless you (or your dog) have celiac disease.
quote:
In the summer of 2012 I wrote Celiac: The Trendy Disease For Rich White People, which annoyed a few people with celiac disease but a whole bunch of people who had latched onto a fad and craved medical or scientific legitimacy in doing so. That article had been building for years but now everyone has caught on. Gluten-free is suddenly a $5 billion business and it has snowballed to a point where gluten-free labels are creating people who are worried about gluten because of so many gluten-free labels - the tail wags the dog. The newfound array of choices are, as I noted then, terrific for celiac patients, because the days of unreliable mail-order products and nasty quality are long-gone. My concern was that the fad nature of it was placing celiac patients at more risk; if someone knows a friend who bounces along to whatever crackpot myth Gwyneth Paltrow is embracing today, they might lie about whether or not something has gluten just to avoid amateur theatrics. (1) Most fad diets are harmless, they only impact the dieter, (2) but the Faux Celiac trend is dangerous to millions of people. The fad groups latching onto it are getting all of the attention now - Gluten Takes a Beating From Fad Dieters, Matthew Boyle writes in Bloomberg, for example - and that means the backlash against gluten-free will be more dangerous, because gluten is in so many things. And as diets go, it isn't helping many of the people adapting it, other than that they think it is. Julia Llewellyn Smith at The Telegraph notes that, in blind tests, 75% of people who claimed to have an 'allergy' or 'intolerance' to bread showed no signs of any symptoms after eating it. She quotes nutritionist Ian Marber: “If gluten really is the root of all evil, then celiacs, who really can’t eat it, would be in perfect health. I’ve been avoiding gluten since about 1823,” he joked, “but I still have all the normal aches and pains and health issues.”

My old dog always ate Kibbles and Bits Bistro. But when we got his brother, we had to switch several times because everything made him vomit. Now they can only eat Science Diet.

A vet on "gluten free dog food":

quote:
I can’t believe how many of my clients proudly proclaim that they feed grain free diets but don’t understand why Fido or Garfield still has vomiting and diarrhea. The answer is really quite simple: grain is not the problem. Because gluten induced celiac disease is so common in humans, the pet owning public thinks the same is true in pets. And guess what? The pet food industry is more than willing to cater to the hysteria. The sadness is that this is one of the worst frivolities I have ever experienced in my veterinary career. Give grain a break.
quote:
Pet owners often notice an improvement in their pet’s gastrointestinal health when changing to a grain free diet. These diets are generally premium foods that contain higher qualities of ingredients in general. Changing food also means changing formulations that include many different amounts of different ingredients. This means that not only has the amount of gluten changed, but the amounts of other ingredients that may have caused the problem have also changed. A responsive pet may actually be responding to the decrease in an allergen other than the grain gluten. But because the food is grain free, the obvious conclusion for owners is that it must be the gluten. This is not logical.

I don't think "what kind" is AS relevant as many would like to make it.
