Miko ALWAYS eats the same thing because he has a very short list of foods he can actually eat safely due to his liver condition and bladder stone history.
As far as Emma goes, I make enough food to last about a month...She gets a variation in the veggies and/or starches...I think she's allergic to beef, so she can't have that.
She only does well with ground turkey breast which is pretty lean and chicken so I alternate between those.
When you're feeding real foods that are good for them, they don't seem to have a hard time with small changes. It's not the same as switching from one commercial dog food to another.
An example of what Emma eats...
One recipe might be ground turkey breast, white potatoes, green beans. She'll have this for about a month and then the next month's recipe might be chicken, rolled oats, carrots.
Variety is good for them. It helps ensure that they're getting the nutrients that they need. If you think they'll have a hard time, the last week of each recipe, start mixing the new food in with the last month's food little by little so that by the beginning of the new month, they'll be transitioned to the new recipe.
