[NAGDU] Dogfood and ear infections

[carcione at access.net]

Long ago when Krokus first came home with me, he got an ear infection.  I
cut out chicken, and he was fine until last August, when he got an ear
infection, and another in December.  I don't know what to cut out now.  We
cut out the extras he was getting, mainly dairy and peanutbutter, though the
vet and I doubt that's the cause.  

He was eating lamb and "ancient grains" for a while.  Now he's eating fish
and ancient grains, while Igloo continues on the lamb.  

Now it's time to buy the boys more food, and I don't know what to get.  I
want the boys to have the best, and that looks like what they're eating now.
Hard to tell though, since the ear infections only happen every 3 months or
so.  

In the really old days, I just bought whatever and they ate it.  But now I
can see all the ingredients, and try to choose the best.  It's so
complicated!  And it's supposed to be good to switch foods occasionally, so
allergies don't develop.  Maybe I should choose second-best for a bit, then
go back to best?  Young me would have never thought feeding the dog could be
so confusing.
