Merrick Grain-Free Real Salmon & Sweet Potato Recipe Dry Dog Food, 22-lb bag

I changed from the brand I was using as they started adding fillers, deviating from their previously advertised 7 ingredients. I researched many brands of dog food ingredients prior to selecting Merrick. My dog loves this new food and was pawing at the bag while still in the Chewy box. I home cook, and the kibble is a side dish to make sure she gets the proper nutrients. No poultry, corn, wheat or soy. And, glucosamine and chondroitin are added, great for joint health for an 8 year old.

Started to think about switching dog foods when my dogs started throwing up Blue Buffalo (especially their salmon/grain product & chicken/grain product) ! I noticed the kibble was changing in coloring and sometimes the kibble was running smaller in size/shape. I did a lot of research and it was between Merrick & Fromm. I like that Merrick manufactures their own product. I wanted to go grain free because I read about bad doggy breath and started to wonder ... My yellow labs scratches a lot and sheds (to me) more than normal. The boys have been on it two weeks now so I will know over time. There was no diarrhea and they seemed to sense this was a better food too ! They did not let the food sit there 1/2 the day and was eaten immediately. In the long run I believe the cost $$$ will outweigh the benefits to their health. I cringe when I see people buy Ol' Roy etc ... Our dogs mean the world to us and I only get one chance to do it right for them.

I've transitioned by 13 month cocker spaniel to this food and she absolutely loves it. She was eating Royal Canin for medium dogs her entire life and she hated it, I even had to give it by hand to make her eat and she was burping and having digestion issues with that food. Now, the bad times are gonne! . She eats her new food like crazy and lovea it. No more burping, no upset belly. The fiber is great % so she poops regulary. I should transitioned a long time ago. I think she was having alergies to some ingredients of her food since she used to scratch a lot. Now she's confortable in her own skin. I'm very satisfied with this product

I have 3 large dogs aged 18 months to 10 who had previously been eating another grain free product of either chicken or fish. One dog has a food sensitivity we have narrowed down to being likely chicken, so I transitioned all of my dogs to this diet when the other product no longer became available from nChewy. All my dogs love this food and seem healthy and with great coats and skin. I also like that this diet is lower in fat and calories than their previous food since one of my dogs struggles a bit with weight. We have been trying to slim her down, she gets plenty of exercise, no treats, and we had reduced her serving size to being much less than my older dog of the same weight and activity, so I am hoping this new diet will improve her health in that way. In any case, that will take some time, but for now she seems to have no sensitivity and loves this kibble! Thank you for pushing me to investigate and compare.
