Can I feed my dog different types of food?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

It is entirely acceptable to feed your dog a pure kibble diet. Or you can mix their diet up with some cooked or raw meat, fish, vegetables and rice.


Is it OK to feed your dog a variety of food?

Dogs get tired of eating the same thing every day. Unlike us, our canine pals don't need variety. They're fine eating the same thing all the time. Once you find a food that works well for your dog, stick with it. Changing types or brands of food can make your dog sick.

Can I feed my dog 2 different brands of food?

Only mix foods for the same species and life stage (i.e. don't mix dog and cat food, or puppy and adult food together). Make sure both foods are nutritionally complete and balanced, with similar nutrient profiles.

Should I only feed my dog one type of food?

While a high-quality adult pet food should have the right mix of ingredients to meet your pet's nutritional needs, it's believed that eating the same foods every day for years on end can potentially increase the risk that your pet becomes intolerant to the foods they eat.

Can I give my dog different food for one day?

Rotational feeding, or switching up the foods on your pet's menu on a regular basis can broaden their palate and may allow them to benefit from a wider spectrum of nutrients and ingredients. You can swap foods daily, weekly, or on another frequency that's convenient for you.
