Started him on the Cowboy version of Merrick and it was the best change I've ever made. He hasn't had a breakout since I got him fully switched on to it. I actually had to cut back the amount I was giving him because he has gained some unneeded weight but that would be the only negative I've found with it. I would much rather pay a little more for the food than pay for the vet bills!

GSD's have issues with 2 things, the #1 issue is flea saliva and it can be a real issue with some/lots of GSD's, so make sure this has been taken care of. No. 2 is chicken. I have taken Tony off chicken, other than a small amount he gets in a little of the Orijen I feed him. He is feed mostly Orijen 6 fish, Regional Red and Taste Of The Wild Sierra Mountain(Lamb). Take your GSD off chicken and see if that helps. Tessa, Tony is my 6th GSD so I have lots of experience with the breed.

Boy did I NOT do my research during his first year, I was feeding him Beneful... BAD IDEA. It's horrible dog food. Once I was enlightened, I immediately started feeding him Merrick's Before Grain, it's rated 5/5 stars on several professional dog food review websites. Being an Australian Shepherd, he has a a lot of energy to burn every day so he needs a high protein-high quality dog food. About a month in, he started putting on muscle weight and his coat is soft and as shiny as ever. It's expensive, but he's a grazer. One large bag lasts him about a month and a half, it's worth it. My German Shepherd will be going onto Before Grain as well, she has some sort of allergy that I am hoping to relieve by putting her on this food that does not contain any corn, wheat, or soy.

I always find a chicken bone in my dogs merrick food, it's big and easy to find, the meat falls right off so it's easy to remove. I rather put the effort in removing a large noticeable bone than to feed my dog artificial meat and unhealthy corn and starch products. I see ppl complaining about a lot of petty things. For instance .. SEAN when your dogs had the watery stool, before feeding them merrick did you slowly introduce them to the food by mixing the old food? Or did you just serve up the new food? That is what is most likely the reason for their new digestive issue. Make sure you take the proper steps in introducing the food before making an issue of things. And i see most of the comments turned to talking about declawed cats. I understand that declawing cats is extremely unhealthy and cruel...but we are talking about the merrick dog food, plain and simple. It surprises me the lack of attention span ADULTS have now-a-days. Anyway i feed both my dogs Merrick dry and wet food, and they love it, and my big American bulldog has a very sensitive stomach and eats and poops just fine.

Switched them off and the problem immediately stopped. Merrick wet caused both my dogs, one with an iron stomach, to get severe diarrhea. Switched them off and the problem immediately stopped.
