Yep...dogs and cats alike. It's not good for their stomachs to change their food suddenly....
Conventional wisdom in dog nutrition is changing. Recent studies indicate that a varied diet is much better for pup. It's reasoned that a single source diet, in the long run, can deprive dogs of needed nutrients and/or provide an excess of others.
Our chocolate lab gets not only an extremely high quality kibble that we rotate occasionally, but also canned salmon or mackerel twice a week, salmon oil dosed in his kibble regularly, as well as things like eggs, yogurt, pumpkin, green beans, etc...and he even gets treated to cheese every once in a while. An added benefit is that while he smells like a dog, he doesn't
stink like a dog...and he hasn't had an honest-to-goodness bath in over a year. He's been hosed down after trips to the lake...but no doggie shampoo. I'm firmly convinced that more than anything else, bad food makes for bad smellin' dogs.
We get a lot of compliments on our shiny, healthy-lookin' boy...
(btw...he got to eat precisely
one of those milk bones...his regular biscuits are much better for him.)
Oops...sorry for hijacking a cat thread with dog talk...

and that picture is so cute.
