Alice the trick with the rotation in lets say the freeze dried toppers is adding just ONE protein/flavor in a brand in very small amounts for a few weeks. If they do well on that then you can add another protein/flavor of same brand in small amounts until they get used to that. I only use two brands for the freeze dried and I worked up to two or three flavors/proteins each that they like over the course of many, many months. I stick to the advisors 5* ones for the primal/stellas. When not giving the freeze dried as a topper they get what we are having when appropriate such as salmon, boiled chicken, lean steak , veggies, watermelon they also love. My vet never gives advice on food. Firstly he has cats . It’s about the same as asking my GP what foods are best for me. He’s not a dietitian and vets have VERY limited training in dog nutrition. You know how your pups act when they are feeling their best and the best nutrition for them is a huge part of them feeling their best and their longevity. If they get A+ with health checkups then the Royal Canin is right for them.
