Is it safe to rotate pet food brands monthly for my dog or cat?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Female | spayed | 5 years and 2 months old | 17 lbs

Is it ok to feed a rotational diet? Using up to 5 brands total and switching monthly? I like several different brands and I don't want to have to choose.

That should be fine! As long as Chloe likes her food, has no GI issues like diarrhea, good skin and ears and is at a healthy weight there is no problem with variety. I recommend an AAFCO tested (vs formulated - should be written on the bag) food, I hope this helps!
