Hi all, I just found this forum a few weeks ago and have really enjoyed reading up on all the great information. I'm hoping maybe you can help me with my own small feeding dilemma.
We currently have an American Eskimo mix who is 14 and seems to be able to eat & digest most anything. We also have a 4 yr. old Goldendoodle who has some digestive issues and is gassy a lot. In about a week we are adding an 8 month old PBGV (petit basset griffon vendeen) to our family. We are currently feeding California Natural Herring & Sweet Potato formula to both current dogs w/a very little Wysong Chicken Or Turkey Au Jus mixed in. I would really like to start doing a rotational diet with about 3-4 different dry food options for variety. We probably can not do the really expensive stuff and would like to stay in the same or similar price range as the Cal. Natural.
The breeder has the pup on chicken & rice by Eukanaba (spell?) and I will keep him on that at first but would like to transition him to what the other dogs are on as soon as I can.
My question is, do you have some suggestions of foods that might work for all my dog's needs? Also, should I be adding probotics to their food? Like so many others have said, it would seem awfully boring to eat the same food everyday. I thought maybe I could transition every month or so while rotating about 4 different foods? I appreciate any help & comments!
Thanks.
