I use to feed Exceed too and had pretty good luck with it, but there is corn in it which I'd like to stay away from. It's been a year since I've been feeding Kirkland and one thing I have noticed is that coats come back much much faster then when I was feeding Exceed. Another good food if you can find it is Nutrisource. It's made in Minnesota and gets none of it's ingredients from China. It's still cheaper then the spendy premium foods at about $30 for a 35 pound bag.

Hmmm....I hadn't heard about a change in Pro Plan.....what are they changing and why, does anyone know? Also, do any of you use Sam's Club Exceed for your dogs? I used to feed it a few years ago with great results but it must have changed because it became very smelly and clumpy so we switched. Anyone heard the latest or have recent experience with Exceed?
