You wouldn't be able to keep switching their diet like that, they would become extremly sick.

That's another brand that has lots of fillers and is a very cheap brand of dog food.
We switch brands all the time because we use only the top 30 dog foods. Once you get to the higher quality, you can switch without a problem.

Iams/Eukanuba/Science Diet are all formally good foods, but, were sold out and their formula has become a lot like Dog Chow because of the fillers and they are charging outrageous prices...

We carry a generic form of Hills prescription called Hi-Tor that is about $8.00 a bag cheaper. I don't particularly like it, because, like Hills, it's filled with corn and other yuckies.



I also read another post about cats being carnivores and don't need grains. That's actually not true. They do need some. All carnivores in the wild eat their prey's stomach first to get the grains and fruits and veggies that they need to maintain good health. Granted, they don't need nearly what an herbivore or omnivore needs, but, they still need them. Our cat food all has some fruits, like cranberries or blueberries for urinary tract health, and veggies. We do have a few that have no grains, but, they do have the berries.
