Hi Bekka, I recommend that you call and talk to your local veterinarian about this concern. The food that will work best for your individual pet will depend on a few different factors including his breed, weight, activity level, and age as well as his overall health. Your vet knows your pet and his medical history so they will be able to give you the best advice on this. In general the concern with certain grain free diets is that some of them have been linked to a heart condition. All of the diets that are involved and the overall risk is not currently known. Because of the early stage of investigation not all of the risks are known. With his potential food allergy there may be other types of diets or even a prescription diet that will help with his ear infections and also be safe for him.
