Here is the FDA's article, as well as a NY Times article summarizing the issue.
The following dog foods are named in the report:
Acana, Zignature, Taste of the Wild, 4Health, Earthborn Holistic, Blue Buffalo, Nature’s Domain, Fromm, Merrick, California Natural, Natural Balance, Orijen, Nature’s Variety, NutriSource, Nutro and Rachael Ray Nutrish
If you're feeding your dog a grain free variety of the brands listed above, you might want to talk to your vet about the risk of DCM and what food might be a safer alternative.
