I have not but i've heard some positive things about Merrick brand food. I've given mine the canned food in the past just to try out and they liked it.

I personally have not used it, but know of many that do (non-bulldog) and have no issues

Molly will only eat Merrick grain free :cursing: .. specifically, Texas Beef and Sweet Potato.

One thing to keep in mind is that Merrick (grain free) is a bit high on protein @ 38%. Molly is a bit 'high strung' so it hasn't been an issue. We'll probably have to feed 'couch potato' Kevin something else when he's moved off his puppy food.

Reba is now on Fromm Pork and Peas. The beef and sweet potato gave her awful gas. She seems to be doing great on pork and peas. Thanks to all who gave advice.

My lil munchkin graduated her puppy class today. She picked up on everything so quickly.

We did Merrick but had to avoid chicken and later also had to avoid sweet potato as well...I think that left of without much choices and we went to natural balance after a few other unsuccessful switches. So far the best food we've tried has been natural balance rabbit and legume. I keep trying out other foods, like natures variety, but still so far the NB has been the best option.
