I am using Eagle Pack Holistic Select dry (Anchovy, Lamb, Senior, Duck) and EPHS can (chicken, lamb, tuna, beef) for my 3 dogs. They are doing fantastic on this food! Very healthy with nice coats, nice breath, firm stools, etc. I will continue to use this product. My dogs love it and so do I!
I have had to switch to this brand on the recommendation of a dog trainer. My dog suffered soft and runny stools, I used Science diet before. I use the Holistic Lamb Meal & Rice + Chicken formula, so far I have noticed firm stools, Nice Shiny coats and lots of energy.I usually add lots of Chicken to the food as well. My German Shepherd Dog can tolerate this brand better than most of what we have tried so far.
How you compare Eagle pack and Merrick? which one is more quality?
I am a Rottweiler breeder as well as an owner of 2 other dogs who are mutts, I have been using the Eagle Pack Holistic Select Large breed Puppy and Adult foods since my first litter and every pup has never had anything since. So far no health issues and the dogs are gorgeous, great coat and good muscle structure and bone development was slower so less chances of hip problems. Every time we go to the vets my vet just keeps telling me to keep doing what im doing!! I would highly recommend this food to anyone willing to try it!!
I have been using chicken meal and rice formula on my french bulldog since i have had him,(monkey is his name) and i think he would say thanks dad if he could speak. his has a beautiful coat solid stool, very regular, lots of energy, and the vet says his health is perfect. Oh yeah and his weight is spot on which is hard to maintain for the bulldog breed. thanks eagle pack
I have just found this food at a local pet center. I am planning on switching my dogs to this food completely. This is based on that fact that it has cranberry powder mixed with wet and dry versions. It helps with the PH levels and I wanted to switch for my Shih Tzu who has bladder stone problems.
Are there any suggestions from people with small dogs? How do you like the food?
I have two Cairn Terriers I was feeding them canidae dry dog food but when they changed their formula it caused my dogs to have very soft stools and diarrhea. Other cairn terrier owners recommended this brand. Currently I mix small & mini breed dry dog food with Chicken and rice dry dog food. My dogs absolutely LOVE this food. My female cairn is extremely picky and she really like the small breed dog food.
My 1.5 yr old Standard Parti-Poodle loves Eagle Pack Power Formula, however I have tried many other flavors for my Malti-Poo and his digestive system didn’t seem to agree. Overall it’s a great brand of dog food.
I switched my two dogs over to Eagle pak last year and it did them better than Eukanuba, however, after not quite a year on that same food they passed away within 3 months of eachother….i was looking to see if anyone has found any health issues with this food or if perhaps what we had was coincidental deaths.
I am absolutely going out of my mind. One of my dogs is in intensive care at the Lort Smith Hospital. he has acute liver problems and a very high fever.
I have three minature schnauzers and they used to eat eagle pack and we were very happy then it was impossible to get it.We were happy when it came back into store. This time they don’t like it. THE PACKAGING IS DIFFERENT THE BISCUITS ARE DIFFERENT. I have just found out on the internet that the company has changed hands and I have been reading several dog owners concerns that they are associating the deaths of their dogs with the same eagle pack product I have been forcing my dogs to eat. Please if any one else is having problem s speak out because to loose something precious like my little Ziggy I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I was feeding my German Shepherd Lana Holistic Eagle dry food for 3,5 years. She was doing great until now. She refuses to eat it. I thought she wasn’t feeling well until I gave her Fromm Dry Food and it was gone in 1 minute!!!
I am not buying Holistic Select anymore. I am sticking with Fromm Dry Food .My dog loves it, less poop and great energy!

My 2 dogs and 2 cats are thriving and I have never seen them look better than when they started on the Holisitc Select Duck formula (dog and cat versions). I love this food as it aligns to what I believe in, natural, balanced, great food – why are there so many other foods that are at the same price so full of crap that has no benefit but I pay the same. Why do poeple get sucked in by marketing and not read the ingredients and benefits of product. I am a big Eagle Pack and Holisitc Select fan.
Janice,
Keep an eye on your ingredients list on Eagle Pack and Holistic Select on future bags. The company is now owned by WellPet, who lately seem more interested in the dollar than the dog.
I have used Holistic Select (large breed) for 2 years. My Golden Retreiver,4 yrs old and Lab 8 yrs old love it. Their coats and eyes sparkle! They don’t shed nearly as heavily on this food as on other premium foods I have fed them in the past. I agree with Janice, I,too, am concerned that the ingredients will change since Eagle Pack has been sold to another company. If that happens, they will lose me as a customer!
I’ve just started my 1.5yr old Golden on Eagle Holistic (Lamb Meal & Rice) for Adult dogs. He’s getting soft runny stools. Not sure if he’ll improve over time. I never had any problems with cooked meals (brown rice,beef,chicken,fish,veg) and occasional half apple. Any advice?
Go slow when changing foods,you could add a little fresh beet (not canned) or some pumpkin. Make sure it is finely ground, I have used a cheese grater in the past.
I’ve been using Holistic Select for 5 years and my 2 dogs (Afghan Hound and Dachshund) are doing great. The company that bought Eagle Pack also makes Wellness dog food which is highly thought of. So far I can’t see any negative changes in the Holistic Select. A while back they removed excess sodium. Goes in good and comes out good. The dogs are full of energy and are happy. One of my dogs was the runt of the litter but blossomed once put on Holistic Select. She caught up and even passed some of her litter mates.
I had a dog that was raised on Eukanuba before he came to me. I continued to feed him Eukanuba. He died an early death along with many other dogs in this area when Iams was including tainted wheat gluten from China in their Eukanuba. His organs shut down and it took him a while to die. This was after spending over $3000 in vet bills trying to save him. Terrible experience. That is one reason I use Holistic Select. They only use one ingredient from China, a synthetic vitamin. It is because all synthetic vitamins are made in China now. Supposedly it is tested before being incorporated in the dog food.
I’m sure Iams has discontinued using tainted wheat gluten from China. Hopefully they also have quit using chicken feet and heads.
We live in the far north and feed Eagle Power Pack. Our dogs are Alaskan Huskies (aka total mix breed, the best with the best for about a hundred years). They are EXTREMELY active and churn through a lot of food, especially in the winter time. We know all about the ownership change and watched very carefully for changes in the food. We have noticed absolutely no negative changes. We have been feeding Eagle for ten plus years and have dogs up to 13 years old in our yard. We just had to put down one dog 6 days shy of 14 years old.
Anyhow, just cruising this site after seeing the great work done with the northern dog rescue, and thought I’d check up on the reviews for our favorite food. Then I figured I tell our story. Eagle is not the cheapest, but we think it’s the best.
Shirley,
Your dog may have an allergy to chicken. I had the same problem with my dog until I switched to a food with no chicken. I feed my dog Holistic Select Anchovy and Salmon (after trying a similar food by Solid Gold, which she hated). No runny stool, she loves it, she is now a normal weight, and she has gained a lot of muscle.
With out a doubt the best food for the money.
Hello everyone
I’m reading all the reviews on dog foods and it’s certainly been an eye opener! We’ve always used Science Diet – previously for cats and now for our Cocker Spaniel. We have never had any health issues, though the Cocker is a little overweight. She’ll eat anything and we do add in chicken necks, and raw meaty bones to give her some variety and fresh food. I recently looked at the ingredients on SD Light and saw ‘chicken byproduct’ was the 3rd ingredient which got me concerned as everywhere I read the protein should be the first ingredient. I’m looking to change foods and it certainly seems Eagle Pack gets a big wrap everywhere I read about it. Two issues for me are what’s the difference between Eagle Pack and Eagle Pack Holistic Select? Is there a common preference for one or the other?
Thanks
I forgot to write the second issue which is Eagle Pack products are currently out of stock in Australia, and I seem to recall reading that this happens a reasonable amount. Would that be true that it can difficult to get hold of?
Thanks
