| New Merrick food: Whole Earth Farms dog food I went to a pet store today that I usually don't go to to get Jackson some bully sticks and there was an 8lb bag of Whole Earth Farms dog food, made by Merrick, for only $3.99 since it's brand new. I like the Merrick line and I figured at only $3.99, I might as well as buy it. 8lbs of dog food for basically $4 sounded like a great deal. Jackson's still doing VERY well on Nature's Variety Instinct so I'm keeping him on it but I switch him up from time to time for variety. Merrick Pet Foods - Pet Foods I have not tried it out yet on my picky boy, but wanted to share in case any one wanted to check out their nearest stores to see if the deal was still going on. It looks like a good food to me, here's the ingredients: Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (Not Less Than) 24.0% Crude Fat (Not Less Than) 12.0% Crude Fiber (Not More Than) 4.0% Moisture (Not More Than) 11.0% Calorie Content: 3495 kcal/kg (calculated) – One pound provides 1587 kcal of metabolizable energy (calculated).

| Hey Brit... The only thing I saw that stands out is the Dried Tomato Pomace. I think that is considered a filler and unnecessary. Otherwise, looks prety good....Jackson might react to all the grains after eating grainfree from some time now. Good luck...let me know how it goes!! Smiles- Snick & Viv

It figures he decides to love one of the most expensive foods out there (the Instinct runs about $17 for a 4.4lb bag) and this food is only like $10 normally! Luckily, NV is really good with coupons. The last one I bought was a buy one, get one free thing and they sent me ANOTHER coupon in the mail for another buy one, get one free.

YT 2000 Club Member | Ive bought a bag too along with some canned. My dogs were on the turducken and they loved it but they had some issues with it. I havent tried the dry yet but my dogs seem to like the canned. I dont have an issue with feeding my dogs a food with grains as long as they are good grains and in general I like the company. I have also looked into natures variety and filled out info for a coupon. Its so hard trying to find a food that my dogs do well on and will eat. The food hunt is kinda getting old.. (sigh)
