I'm not saying to necessarily avoid things like duck or venison but usually these are the ones that are avoided until they are needed... |

Okay, gotcha. Well, maybe try Wellness CORE then - which is around 30+% protein (mid level). And, what about NB's AMP - which is around 27%. However, I think most of your proteins are quite similar there. Is the wee bit you're feeding Bison? If so, maybe then that's enough variety for now - the bison and 2 different chicken sources.
Now, theoretically - a dog should be able to eat different foods, like us, without problems/issues. Sensitive tummies are often tied to an individual dog's system, not a breed or whatever. My guys can switch btwn whatever (and sneak kibble at Grandma's house
) and not have a single issue. So, you will kind of have to trial and error it. If it were me, I'd probably alternate each week or 2 between the 3 foods.
