Taste of the Wild and Fromm are both very high quality foods.

Sounds like you are doing the very best nutritionally for your dog. Good Job!!

I agree with you about feeding a variety of foods. Just like people, dogs should get their nutrition from varied sources. For example, if we people only ate chicken and rice every meal for the rest of our lives, we would be malnourished. Same goes for your dog. So feed chicken for a while, then change to turkey, duck, lamb, (no veal please) beef, etc.

Some dogs get a tummy ache and runny stool if you change their food quickly, so just as you are getting to the end of the current food, begin adding the new food over a 10-day period. Feed less and less current food and more new food each day. Then, on the 11th day, your dog will be eating nothing but the new food with no tummy ache!

God bless you for caring for your pet so well.
