Our dogs (4) love it!

Around ten years ago I switched the brand and type of dog food I was using from a legacy brand's supreme product, to Merrick. That legacy brand got 2 of my now deceased dogs to nearly 18 years old. However, that brand's food began to smell like rotten meat and was offensive to my current dogs and my family. It truly reeked. Merrick was a super brand at the time, so I switched to Merrick.In the ten years since, all 5 of my dogs absolutely love Merrick's dry dog foods (NOT SO with their canned dog foods with the nasty smells and little spots of some kind of colonies). I have never had any problems getting my dogs to eat dry Merrick food and their stools have always been soft enough for the dogs and firm enough to be easily picked up. I always use warm water in the dry food for easier swallowing, digestion, and to keep my dogs hydrated. I use allot of water.My current dogs are all a healthy weight, active, swim, and can hike good distances. They are 12 to 14 years old. However, 4 out of my 5 current dogs (important note -12 to 14 years old) have developed skin tags (or cysts?) and 2 of them have small lumps under the skin. 1 dog had a pair of fatty cysts removed from her belly. My recently deceased 15 year old was quite the lumpy bumpy dog. He also had severe neuropathy and epilepsy which was unrelated to diet. This is NOT to say that Merrick foods caused all that. Allot of that is old age... Pretty much the only way I could have done better feeding my dogs, would have been to sell my house and live in a van so I could buy expensive freshly butchered meats and guts for my dogs everyday for 20 years. Not practicable.Having said all that scary stuff, most people only get their dogs to live for around ten to twelve years old (according to the vets I have used). One vet was shocked that my 11 year old could still jump into the bed of my full sized truck. He said most dogs at 11 were either sick and obese, or being put down. So I am WAY ahead of the curve by selecting Merrick DRY foods. Is Merrick perfect? No. But it's in my budget. Bottom line, buy the best dog food you can afford. The best does not always mean the most expensive. The super cheap junk dog foods out there are like feeding your dogs the equivalent of human junk every meal of their lives.Now, let's talk Merrick's cost. In that, I am ANGRY! Over the years, the size of the bags decreased as the price remained relatively stable. And then the prices exploded in recent years - twice. In 2017, a 25 pound bag cost around $60, about $2.40 a pound. In 2023, a 22 pound bag costs about $75, about $3.40 a pound. That is a massive increase in just over 5 years! In my opinion, all the excuses and alleged reasons for the wide spread, recent price explosions, are all bull. It's all straight up greed. The dog food companies are included in that opinion. Many people will no longer be able feed their treasured animals which will deprive them of longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives. Nuff said, drop the price!

I have never seen my dog so excited when it comes to food! I actually mix this product with her regular dry food and she eats it instantly! Quality ingredients and the price is decent- I highly recommend it

This dog food is always fresh andmost importantly, I love that they Warranty the food.

Have a schnauzer that isn't a picky eater but he really likes this food. He has not had any reaction and eats it really well. I've used the dog food for 3 years and he eats it up with no issues whatsoever.
