With a dog with allergies, I would be very careful with rotating. Not that I think it's bad, I do it for one of my older dogs that does best on 50% kibble (and 25% canned + 25% water), but only with foods I know my dog can handle. The trick is to see what your dog can handle and can't, and it can be more trickier with a dog with allergies as the progress can go down hill quickly.

btw, I know a lot of dogs that have had issues with Wellness since they changed (LOTS of poop problems).

Alternate from time to time with a good quality cod liver oil. I usually do three weeks in rotation.
I would not suggest cod liver oil if someone feeds kibble, the vitamin A + D can build up to toxic levels.

Offer distilled water instead.
I don't think I would want to offer distilled water all of the time (instead every once in awhile and rotated with filtered).
