Merrick's an expensive food, but I find they don't need to eat as much as many other brands. However, my dogs' loved it. We have changed food, based on my vet's recommendation. EVO is the name and it contains no grains and is all meat. The dogs really love it and the stool is very small. More like a raw diet. Coats look better already.
