This is one of the responses I received when i posted an update to my
poodle list.. i had mentioned that i never thought of oats being a
"grain"

"Sometimes even the so-called "grain free" stuff has rice in it!!
When you talk about grains, it's basically the seeds of grasses....
wheat, oats, barley, corn, rice, etc etc. Stuff that's got glutin in
it. "
