No matter how good a food is, it will not be suitable for all dogs. There is also a possibility that your dogs are alergic to something in there - though since they are not related, I would not be as fast to jump to this but it is a possibility.
Now you said slow change - over how much time and how did you do the change?
There could still be a bad batch out there eventhough your dogs dis check out fine. Not all dogs will die from a bad batch of food. Also, depending on how the food was stored, it could have become contaminated. Moisture that gets into an open bag can lead to mold or fungus growth (and not all growth will be visible). How are you storing the food?
Now there is also the chance that it was not the food at all and the food just is a coincidence. There is a chance the dogs both got into something in your yard that you were not aware of. When I was a child, we had a drunk down the street who would wander through a couple back yards and throw raw chicken wings into our yard. We ccould not figure this out until the guy was caught in the act. Shortly after moving, a dog my mother had developed an intentinal blockage. Peach pit. My mother has various allergies to fresh fruits and peaches are one so there were only canned peaches if any in the house. The pit was carried over by a squirrel and buried in the yard it was assumed.
There are lots of things that can cause a reaction.
