I think if you are switching brands along with protein sources here and there you will still be fine. I only mix multiples becuase then i dont have to switch out one food to a completely different food, Dillon tends towards the runs if i am not careful so i dont like changing more than 20% of his diet slowly at any one time... that is the only reason i mixed three different foods together -that way i can switch a new one in with very little tummy upset. Let me know what you think of the Fromm when you do try it out, if you think it is good, i might give it a try too...

Emilie,
I really like the idea of rotating brands, what a great idea! I switched Milo to Natural Balance and he had no problems at all with it. Fortunately I have several good pet stores in town that carry a lot of the holistic and organic brands so I can do more research and select another brand or two. Eagle Pack has a $2.00 off coupon you can print off their website.
I was thinking of getting that and Wellness. I'm glad that there are more varieties of organic and holistic foods out nowadays. It does pay to read the ingredients and do a little research.
I stopped giving Milo canned food altogether, I make my own wet food: boiled rice, lowfat/low sodium chicken stock, boiled chicken and some vegies (carrots, green beans, peas). I mix it in with his dry food, maybe a couple of times a month. (I make a batch and use my Food saver to vaccuum pack it in small batches,and freeze it). He loves it and thinks it is a big deal.
