Pros & Cons

Pros

Two of my three are senior dogs and don't need the uber protein found in orijen or evo. It has quality ingredients and loaded with glucosamine and chondroitin. When asked by a vet or animal professional what we feed our girls, they always look at us a...  Read More

German shepherd's coat becomes shinier and he has more healthy energy. Good hygiene on owner part.

Daemon the spitz will eat anything. Bella the doodle is picky about foods.



Cons

The orijen is probably a higher quality food than the merrick, but is less human palatable. My dogs had explosive diarrhea and i had to stop feed them this. Too $ for every meal).
