While I’ve heard great experiences about Merrick dry dog food and used it myself at one point, my dog, Max, actually didn’t adapt well, having an upset stomach more often than usual. The main ingredient in most of their formulas – bulky protein sources like chicken and beef – might be a bit heavy for dogs with sensitive tummies.
So I switched to Canidae Pure Dry Dog Food, which has a diverse range of novel proteins like bison or duck besides the usual ones and includes plenty of vegetables too. Smaller kibble size also helped Max’s digestion. It is slightly more pricey than Merrick but seeing Max healthier made it worth it for me.
Has anyone else here tried feeding their fur babies Canidae or other easily digestible foods especially when dealing with sensitive stomach issues? Remember that each dog reacts differently to different food brands/types, so a vet consultation is always beneficial before any drastic food switch.

I used to feed my Golden Retriever, Buddy, Merrick’s dry dog food and I can definitely vouch for the quality of their ingredients. Even though it’s a bit on the pricy side, I found the grain-free option well worth the cost considering it includes real whole foods like sweet potatoes and apples. However, due to Buddy’s unique dietary needs, we had to switch to another brand. It made me curious though if anyone’s tried Merrick’s wet food – I’m wondering if it packs the same level of nutritional value as their dry food does? Also, how does your furry friend like the taste?
