Hello,
I'm changing my dog's food from Innova Adult which he's had most of his life due to ear allergies. Not sure what exactly is bothering him, but I thought I'd change the protein source and take it from there. Since he's been eating chicken/turkey based diet, I'm considering switching to Origen Fish or the Regional Red. I've read that both are wonderful quality, but I'm concerned over the long term use of Fish as the only protein source. What about mercury and other heavy metals found naturally in fish? It's advised that humans restrict their intake for the same reasons, so why not dogs?
For those of you who do feed an exclusive fish based diet, please give me your opinions and share how your dogs are doing on it.
Thank you,
Shelli
