Thanks for taking the time to write that up, truly appreciate it.
Where I was confused is that the food he currently eats isn't grain free. It's the American Journey Salmon, Brown Rice, and Vegetables mix. It doesn't have the corn or soy products in there but it does have peas. Also has taurine supplement added. Would you be concerned about this ingredient list?
I guess that's where I was confused on her recommendation. I could see switching foods if I was feeding him grain free, but I'm not.

Was not familiar with that dog food and had to look it up.
My only (minor) concern, as you said, would be the peas. The one ingredient that has been mostly associated with the DCM issue.
However, I agree with you that I would not technically consider that food “grain free” because it has brown rice/rice bran, and they supplement Taurine. So, your dog may be a case of DCM not related to diet.
Ingredients in the food actually look pretty decent.
