The second infection came about 6 months ago when I was feeding the dogs Canidae ALS. I couldn't say it was swimming because we were done for the season. I went to the vet, got confirmation it was an ear infection, got drops, and switched the dogs back to Innova. It took a few weeks for their systems to go back to "normal" but the infections have never returned.

I may try Canidae Chicken & Rice since they did well on that when they were puppies, but there's something in ALS that doesn't agree with them.
