Feed Your Dog A Variety Of Dog Foods

True or False?

Once you find a food that suits your dog, you shouldn’t switch.

FALSE!We strongly encourage owners to rotate among at least three different products from different pet food companies throughout the year. And more may be better! Why? No two foods contain the same macronutrient and micronutrient levels, and who is to say which ones have too much of this or too little of that for your dog? Dogs have evolved with extremely efficient and flexible digestive abilities – they thrive on variety, just like we do. And the more variety there is in their diet, the more robust their digestion becomes. Most pet food companies use the same vitamin/mineral premix for all of their dry dog foods, but the nutrient levels in the premix used by one company will undoubtedly be different than those in the premix used by other companies. If you feed only one food, or even several products from just one company, you are entrenching those nutrient levels in your dog’s body. Rotating among a few products (made by different companies) can supply nutritional balance over time. The exception to this recommendation? Dogs who have proven to be intolerant of any change or allergic to a number of ingredients. (Quoted from Whole Dog Journal – what we call “the Consumers Reports for the Dog World”)
