Too expensive

a year ago

I've got two shepherd mix rescues around 3 years old. Currently transitioning from Merrick Red Recipe (2x the price) to Pro Plan beef shreds. My lawn always dies from pee and the dogs poops are never very firm so I'm trying to get to a more "correct" protein ratio with the pro plan. On transitioning this time I segregate it in their bowls (I always used to mix when transitioning). I've noticed that they eat the pro plan before the merrick. Not sure if it's because they truly like it more or it's the novelty of something new. We'll see how the dogs do the next 3 months on the pro plan. After 2 years on Merrick I think we are probably done with the excessive price (second dog was recently added and has a much higher metabolism $$). Not to mention getting a bag with zero freeze dried pieces. Contacted manufacturer with lot info and they did nothing.

Great ingredients that my dogs love

a year ago

I began feeding Merrick Foods when my two small dogs started refusing to eat Blue Buffalo. I looked at the ingredients and am impressed with the raw infused diets without grains. They have now been eating it consistently for several months and do not seem to get tired of the flavor. Their appetites have improved and their stool sample have become firmer and less frequent. Their coats are shiny and healthy with no dry skin or itchiness. I love it. If you would ever need an affiliate to represent your brand on social media, I would definitely be interested.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Q: I am looking for a product that can help my dogs fur grow back in, that is not harmful if he licks his coat after Appling it. I tried other supplement for health skin, coat, they did not work, also tried a vitamins to help too and nothing did the trick.
