It has to do with the calcium & phosphorus ratio with grain frees being out of balance for growing pups. But, FTR, Harry can't tolerate grains, and has been on grain free since he was 4 months old (a month after we adopted him), and his growth appears to be just fine. Me, I took the chance with grain free rather than having him vomit after every meal and have diarrhea every day.
I think the grain free manufacturers are getting better about balancing these nutrients. I know Champion (makers of Orijen & Acana) have addressed it in their white paper.
