The Myths and Facts Behind Grain Free
-
The FACTS behind the FDA reports, which are observational and not controlled trials, and the controlled feeding studies that conclude GF does not cause DCM
-
The information here is provided because I hear all the time, "studies show grain free causes heart problems", from pet/show owners and even constantly in vet clinics, when most people are referring to that original investigation done by the FDA and information seems to have stagnated there, I want to do my best to provide comprehensive information in one place.

Devine Weims takes extreme care in placing a puppy into its new home. Each perspective puppy owner is required to complete the questionnaire in its entirety and we may have follow up questions. Just as we want to ensure the puppy finds the perfect forever home, we also want each new puppy family to know that they're just that, we are available for advice and help for the life of the puppy, or just to receive any and all photos you want to share with us!
We do require a deposit to hold puppies once we have confirmed there is a puppy available for you. This deposit is only refundable in the case that something were to happen and the puppy is no longer available, we are serious about our weims and we expect that our future puppy homes are as well, so once you decide to make a commitment we want to know that you are fully on board.
Please note that a completed questionnaire also does not guarantee a puppy, we do have a waitlist and spots open up usually because the timing is not right for the families on our list. We always welcome applications to join our waitlist and you will be notified if puppies become availalble.
