Is it OK to feed dogs two different brands?

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.

What happens if you mix two different brands of dog food?

The great danger lies in mixing dog foods that have radically different digestion processes. When we mix different types of food this way, the dog cannot digest the natural food normally. This creates a build-up of gas that can lead the animal to experience a condition called gastric torsion.

Why should you not mix wet and dry dog food?

Since wet food is more expensive than dry dog food, mixing the two adds an expense to mealtime in comparison with only feeding dry. It also requires refrigeration of the wet food after it is opened if not all of it is used in one meal.
