I’m mostly concerned about the ground wheat. That sounds like flour to me. Now if they add water, that can be chametz. The kernels themselves not ground would be a problem to eat, but you can keep in your house and you can feed to the pets.
So all certified grain free dog food is ok for passover?
Yes
