I think what I'll do is provide an example of what I think is the correct way and hopefully someone can chime in and let me know if I am doing it correctly. I bought the "sample size bags". They are around 2lbs each.
So, if I do the following, will I be providing what is best for her and her system
I currently have in stock
evo turkey and chicken
merricks grammys pot pie
before grain salmon
Do I feed her all of one bag then change to the next bag - Feed her 100% evo until the bag is near empty then do 50% merrick's and 50% evo. When the evo runs out Do merrick until the bag is running low, then start adding 50% of before grain or
or
Do I mix the first two 50% of evo and 50% or merricks then when evo runs out do 50% merricks and 50% before grain.
Which is healthier- feeding all and then switching or mixing foods while switching?
I also ordered that sample box from Luke's All natural pet food. It has a great selection! How do I implement samples into her food with out screwing up her digestive system? |
Honestly, with the sample bags, I wouldn't worry about rotating yet. I would put the 3 different foods in 3 different bowls and see which one she likes best! Jackson doesn't really have a sensitive stomach though so he can easily eat 1 food one day, and then eat another brand the next (for example, when we go to my dads house, sometimes he decides to chow down on their food) and he does fine. I think every dog is different though. But with sample bags, I would just first see which one(s) she likes best.
