It's so easy to get caught up in brand loyalty or routine, and I think we are led to believe that dogs can't handle diet changes, when in fact as long as it's done gradually, most can. My next step in educating myself is reading the book 'Dog Food Logic.'

We've had no problems with feeding the combination of freeze-dried raw in the morning and kibble at night. I know some raw feeders caution against mixing the two but my dogs have never had any issues with having them at separate meals. I'm not sure if the fact that it is freeze-dried makes a difference. Ruby and Boca both prefer the Addiction dehydrated over The Honest Kitchen, but it is not as highly rated on Dog Food Advisor. I'm hoping to try the other flavors of the Only Natural Pet food, too - I see on their website that they've added a red meat variety.

It always surprises me when Laika loves fish flavored foods, for some reason it seems odd to me, but they love what they love, I'm not going to argue. Thank goodness for all the great pet foods available now. It's a bit overwhelming but like you I'm a bit embarrassed by some of the foods I used to feed my dogs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01672825791526583489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1943031415851623904.post-14700240387943900252014-09-29T13:51:02.391-06:002014-09-29T13:51:02.391-06:00Wow!

I guess your dogs do well with the raw in the mornings? I may need to test this out with Shiner. Great review also! Shiner loves her Fish Feast as well.

Usually he can't do fish kibbles, because he's allergic to salmon. <br /><br />I would also like to add my allergy PSA here: it's a great idea for every dog to rotate to a different source of protein periodically. Unlike people, dogs generally become allergic to foods from over exposure. Even if you change kibble brands, there's a good chance your dog will be eating one of the same two or three proteins every meal.
