| Canidae or Merricks is the question I know there are countless threads about what food is best! I read for hours yesterday! I have narrowed it down to one of the 2. Any input? Has anyone tried both and liked one over the other? I have a puppy and a 3yr old so kind of like the Canidae idea for that reason. But Merricks looks....well....yummy really!!

| So much for my extensive research huh?? Duh...I didn't realize it was also for all ages! I did ask for samples of Merricks too but I think I will be buying dry food before it gets here. Thanks!

| Where are you seeing that Merricks is an all stages food? I went to their website and don't see that anywhere. I am also looking for an all stages food. My babies tried Canidae and they like it but they threw up. So I am still looking. Any other all stages foods out there that anyone knows about?

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i was feeding morgan cowboy cookout and she ate it alright, then the next bad i bought was the turducken one and she didn't eat it as well. I read on YT how lots of people are very very happy with what canidae did for their dogs coats so i figured i'd try it out on morgan. i got some free samples which she just gobbled up so i bought a big bag. she's still liking it so i'm going to be keeping her on it as long as poss

| I feed Canidae All Life Stages. My dogs (seven yorkies and Boo the Boxer) all have GREAT coats and are extremely healthy. There are several really good dog foods available. Which one you go with is a personal choice. |

| Really, great coats? I'm going to compare ingredients. I just got back from the pet store and I have about 20 sample bags!! Canidai, Merricks, Wellness, Natures Variety and Solid Gold! I think thats all the brands I got....I think they are all "good quality?"

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | those are all great foods and i've tried canidae, merricks, and wellness on morgan. i think canidae is the one she likes the best. when i switched her to that it was after i got a bunch of samples and i didn't know which to feed her so i got a bunch of bowls and put a little bit of each sample in each bowl and let her go at it. Canidae and Artmis won the battle, but Artmis is hard to find around here so i chose canidae.

| I am just now switching Gracie from a mixture of brands to Merrick's dry. She likes most of the canned flavors of Merrick's except for cowboy cookout. I bought her the dry Turducken and she went nuts over it. To my surprise there were real peas and bits of carrots and apples in there! Merrick's does make a Puppy Plate both dry and canned.

| Oh, I just found it. On the website, if you read through the FAQs, under canned foods where it talks about puppy plate, it mentions that all their foods are for all life stages.
