• Margaret Tyler Posted : 7/18/2006 10:40:44 AM Merrick is in my dogs rotation of food (I don't feed him the same all the time).  I like Merrick.  Have had good results with it, but there are alot of people on this forum that do not like it because it was recalled 2 years ago due to dogs getting sick on it because it was packaged incorrectly and some ingredient flaws. I work for a pet product distributor that carries it and I know that Merrick has made some significant changes to improve their food and I have not had a problem with it since. I'm not sure what Evolve is.  Do you mean Evolution.  If so Evolution is a good food.  Ingredient wise it is not as good as Merrick, but it is a good food for the price and they have not had the recall problems that Merrick has had. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sooner Posted : 7/18/2006 10:48:08 AM I think people here don't like Merrick because they have had multiple recalls, including one a month or so ago. Also willowchow personally found a peice of plastic in a can and a shipping staple in another can.

• Renee Cocchi Posted : 7/18/2006 11:07:00 AM That's interesting. I didn't know that about Merrick. I had been feeding my puppies Evolve ([linkhttp://www.evolvepet.com/]http://www.evolvepet.com/[/link]) because that's what the breeder used. But I could only get it on the internet and sometimes I wouldn't get it in time and their food would be gone and then I'd have to get something else so I switched. They did well on Evolve, but they seem to love Merrick. Thanks! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Renee Cocchi Posted : 7/18/2006 11:08:51 AM That's scary! I use the dried food, but now I'm a nervous.

• papillon806 Posted : 7/18/2006 2:08:43 PM My dog was on Merrick "puppy plate" for awhile and did pretty well on it.  I know they have had multiple recalls but just make sure you "inspect" the food before feeding it, just to make sure...I don't think they've had any problems with the dry food though... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 7/18/2006 6:20:57 PM I've not tried Evolve, but I am about to order some of their canned duck formula. I've tried Merrick's canned foods, and the dogs liked them and did fine with them. I did mush them into itsy teensy bitsy peices, looking for foreign stuff. I do that with all canned food, though. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
