im not sure i quite understand what you are saying, a holistic vet has once told me that you should switch their protein source every 3 months or so to avoid them from developing allergies later.

not sure which is true now.
I hear you. I have to drive about 35 minutes to our Vet Derm, and it is a bit of a haul. But I swear, you'll be so happy you did!

What EllieMay is saying is that there isn't anything wrong w/ rotating protein sources. However, you should 'save' some protein sources in the case that later in life (or now, for that matter) she has food allergies. If she's already eaten every source of protein out there, then you won't be able to use a 'novel' (new, never had before) protein for an elimination diet (an allergy diet).

Ack, it's hard to explain...but do you know what I mean? Sorry if I'm not very good at explaining it.
