|
Can any dog eat a diet like Bison & Sweet Potato, Duck & Potato, etc?
I'm just wondering if Theo has to eat single protein can I feed the others the same kind of food? |

| You can, but if it's a novel protein such as the ones you mentioned it's not a very good idea. The reason is that, if your other dogs have a tendency toward developing protein sensitivities, that's what they're going to become sensitive to, and you'll be left with one less protein choice to try when that day comes. |

| I have since my Abby got sick. She had to be on a fish-based diet so all my dogs were on it. I kept Polly and Pixie on it b/c Polly has some food allergy issues and they both do great on it. And if anything happens where they might end up with a new food allergy, then I KNOW what not to give them. |
