That is a good point about not giving too much food variety. My vet tech neighbors said one of the things "Doc" hates worst is diagnosing allergies and there is almost nothing the dog hasn't eaten to test them on. I'm not giving Charlie any of the exotic foods (buffalo, duck, venison, and white fish) for meats and potato/sweet potato for carbs. In the (hopefully unlikely) event he develops food allergies, those ingredients are reserved for "test" foods.

Also good to note the use of raw meat versus meal. "Whole (fresh) chicken" is 80% water so the final dry product does not contain much real meat, versus "chicken meal" has been dried before addition and is almost all meat.

Thanks Cindy for those observations!
