| Merrick Dog Food... I was wondering Merrick dog food was never on the recall list, and i was just on there website, and was wondering who here uses this dog food? and if so what kind of dog food and treats do you also get from them? i was think about switching my Yorkies to this dog food. Thank you,

| I was feeding the Merricks canned for awhile and my dogs really liked it at first but grew tired of it. They didn't care for the dry Merricks at all and now I have to feed a prescription food as one of my dogs has a compromised liver. |

| I feed my puppy Merricks Puppy Plate (canned) and she loves it. I am actually switching over to Wellness Puppy because it's cheaper (but also a good food). The Merricks is $1.59 for a 5.5 oz can and the Wellness is $1.39 for a 6 oz can. I also leave Innova Puppy Dry out all day for her since she's still young. |

| I feed mine Merrick dry Turducken and they love it. It has very good reviews on dogfoodanalysis.com.

| Both Wellness and Merrick's are considered 5 star dog food according to this site: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ The brands that I usually rotate for both my cats and dog are Innova, Innova Evo, Orijen, Wellness and Merricks and I find they do well on it. I have a Devon Rex kitty and she use to have really bad eye gunk and waxy ear buildup. Since I've switched to grain-free food, her ears rarely need to be cleaned and her eyes are less gunky. AND, the litter box is less stinky (or am I just getting use to the smell... lol) |

| I don't give mine dog treats. I give mine Cheerios for their "cookies".

My dogs used to be on the pot pie and they LOVED it. I switched to the Turducken because it has a slightly better review on the dog food analysis site but it's a really good food none the less. Hope you have good luck!
