I rotate food with Tanner, he is an asymptomatic MVD doggie so his food is low protein. When I put him on regular food, he gained some weight, so it was back to the low protein. He rotates between Canidae Platinum, Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul Senior, and Pinnacle Ckn & Vegetable. He "insists" on this rotation, the same food 2 days in a row is not for this little prince, no no.

With the other dogs (2 IGs & a YorkiePoo), they get Merrick Grammy's Pot Pie dry mixed with whatever Merrick wet I pick up at the store, sometimes I rotate it with Old Mother Hubbard. These guys are not picky and will eat anything.

My new little guy, Frankie, has had an upset tummy most probably because of the change in location & food, so right now, he's on boiled chicken & rice with some ProPlan salmon & rice dry thrown in. Seems to work.

I pick foods based on the Whole Dog Journal recommended list, if it's not on there, they don't get it, with the exception of the ProPlan, this is what the breeder was feeding Frankie.
