@bassplayer72 So first of all I would go with a food that is fully WSAVA compliant. Unfortunately, Open Farm is not because they don’t do feeding trials… Purina Pro-Plan and Purina One are cheaper than Royal Canin, and are backed by research.

@lady_pritimah The Finnish Kennel Club is doing an outcross project for Cavies. They only have a few litters on the ground can’t remember what all is involved but I know one of them is the Danish Swedish Farmdog. Found a link that has more details. From this press release it does look like...

@artemis153 You might need to go to the vet and set up an elimination diet for dog #2. That’s really the only way to figure out allergies unfortunately. You’d end up feeding a prescription diet and after several weeks add in potential allergens one at a time. If dog #2 can’t get to dog #1’s food...
