Can I measure dog kibble in grams and safely rotate food brands?

Question

Hi, I'm going to start measuring my dogs kibble in grams but most dog food bags don't list the grams on there. She gets 1/3 twice a day. I looked at some that did and it varied from 12-14 grams per ounce. So I figured If I just measured an amount that said 35 grams each time I would be good. Does this sound ok? I like to rotate flavors and brands so it would be a hassle to contact each company just to get the exact number. I'm thinking I'm in the ballpark. Does this sound ok?

Yes that can work, but I would advise against rotating flavors and brands. That's because sudden changes in food can cause GI upset in the form of vomiting and diarrhea. It's best to stick with one brand and flavor. Dogs do not need their food changed :-)
