dogs' diets, with an s on both. Not all dogs have the same diet.

Boys' games; girls' dresses. You have to have a plural noun otherwise it means there is just one and that is not the meaning.

Do you really mean variation?

  • thank you. Maybe variability as proposed by FumbleFingers is better. I have to check.

  • @Leon-Alph Too much variety in a dog's diet, not variation, not variability.
