Thank you for responding and the welcome! 🙂
I thought it would be okay to mix, but I wanted to make sure from others who have done the same. I thought the benefits of adding different proteins and nutrients would help her as well. Of course I didn’t think about her getting sick from one food and not knowing which. My immediate plan was to keep her on the Merrick Healthy Weight (Beef and Chicken meal) for the time being and maybe adding a salmon or fish recipe to the mix. I probably wouldn’t mix the two together in the same storage container, I would just do a 50/50 of each food. A few months back I did try her on Wellness Complete Health Whitefish and Sweet Potato recipe, but I noticed she had a strong odor from it, her breath was bad and she just had a bad smell to her. Once I took her off it, she was fine, no smell. It may have been just the Wellness and may not happen with another brand. Plus the Wellness recipe had barley in it and I now have her off grains and have noticed she doesn’t itch as much and she doesn’t smell.

Has anyone else fed their dog Wellness Complete Health Whitefish and Sweet Potato and notice an odor coming from them?
