I finally found a store near me that sells Merrick's Chicken Soup for the Puppy lovers soul. Gracie and Sammie really like it. They are EXTREMELY PICKY eaters but actually stood at the bowl and ate one kibble after another. Nothing has kept their interest like that before. They also had lots of treats made by Merrick that are actually made in the US. I have read lots of warnings lately about pigs ears and things like that that are from overseas that have diseases. YUK. The only problem with the store was that the owner would not let Gracie and Sammie come in. Gracie was all dressed up in her new ladybug dress and wanted to show off but got her little heart broken for her trouble. Imagine a pet store that won't let dogs in... Anyway, the food seems to be working. The kibbles are nice and small too.

I Had no idea that Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul was a MERRICKS brand. My booklet I received says Diamond Pet Foods.

Breeder had her on Wet Chicken Soup and I'm in the process of changing over to Dry Chicken Soup she is on RC right now. This will be the last change I have to make on her food.

Penny loves her Chicken Soup. Even the adult food is small kibble (just so you know).

I have fed my yorkies that for the past 3 years. And i swear by the dog food. They go crazy over it!! Who ever buys my puppys I send home one of there 2.99 bags and everyone calls me back and say they love this stuff. It is kinda hard to find but i told my petstore about it and they now carry it and says it sales like hot cakes... Im glad your dogs are doing good on it mine were also picky now i cant keep enough in front of them LOL...

countrygirl2829 · 08-24-2005, 06:15 PM

Yes mine also says its a Diamond brand. And also i called to see if they had a breeders program and they said in the next 3 months they will. Just some info for all the breeders who use chicken soup for the dog lovers soul!!

My dogs also like it and it cleared up my our malts tear staining.

chicken soup is a diamond product, not merrick. archie had a hard time eating the merrick foods. He loved it but it was too rich for him. and then, i found out that merrick also makes a less-than perfect brand called Beef N'More. Back in 1994, the ingredients were fresh beef, yellow corn, gluten, soybean, but they seem to now say that beef N'More has "real beef, fresh carrots, etc."

I have my 2 pups on Chicken Soup too. Mine used to like it - but the past few days they have just been picking. Maybe they are getting bored with it. I got mine at a PetPlus store. They have quite a few of the recommended brands there from the list I seen on here.
