Excellent, such clean food even my cat likes it

This food is a miracle for my dog who suffers allergies and digestive issues. This food is gentle on him and he loves it! I don’t know what I would do without this food for him - it’s a lifesaver for him, truly the only food out there he does not have allergic reaction to. He’s allergic to all poultry, fish, and beef, so my options are limited. I thank goodness for this food.

We have been buying Merrick’s canned food for my dog with a sensitive stomach and food allergies for a year now with great success. My dog is an extremely picky eater who does not usually eat much but the lamb flavor is his favorite and he is always looking for more. Last week I bought the lamb flavor at the pet store as usual. The labeling on the can was re-designed but there was no indication of altered ingredients on the face of this new can so I did not think anything of it. Upon opening the can, I noticed that this newly designed can had a different smell, only a small amount of solid meat and was filled with mostly liquid. I thought that maybe it was just a fluke can, but then I realized that the next can I opened was the same. The expiration dates were good so I proceeded to feed my dog with them as usual. My dog became ill almost immediately after eating one can of this new ingredient canned food. He was crying and having diarrhea every hour of the day and night for 2-3 days. After making this realization and stopping feeding him after only two cans, his diarrhea cleared. We are very disappointed in this change of ingredients and newly added ingredients. We need to search again for a truly limited ingredient canned food for our picky dog. After reading other recent reviews, others have also had similar stories and complaints. Hopefully, Merricks will act upon these reviews as I cannot continue to purchase their products with these new changes in quality.

I have been buying Merrick since Daisy was 10 weeks old. We switched her from 4Health TSC store brand because she wasn’t eating well, to the Merrick Puppy formula and she Ate it better. When she turned one we switched to Merrick Small breed formula mixed with the lamb canned food and she really loved it. I recently bought 6 cans from Petsmart and when I opened the first can it looks different. I read that the formula had changed so I am assuming that’s why it looks more watery and not loaf like the way it was before. She still likes it so it’s not a big problem. I just have to stir it together so it’s not watery.
