2yo Australian Shepherd
Her coat has never been better, and I've fed a range of top quality foods. It's incredible how water just sheets off of her when she gets out of the pool. She's also down to one poop a day, which is good for her and convenient for us as well.

EVO Dog Reduced Fat - The Ancestral Diet Meets Modern Nutrition
Reduced Fat - The EVO line of pet foods have been specially designed to provide all the key nutritional benefits received from the feeding of raw food diets but with the benefits of 21st Century nutritional research. EVO Reduced Fat Dry Dog Food contains 30% less fat than regular EVO Dog Food but with 20% MORE protein. Recent studies have shown that high protein, low fat diets help to build lean body mass while still achieving weight loss (weight loss occurs until an equilibrium of muscle to fat is reached).
EVO Dog Reduced Fat is Grain-Free, Human Grade Dog Food
Although EVO Dog food provides 100% of the total nutritional needs of your dog, you still need to pay proper attention to these important factors to ensure optimum health:
Our Basset has some kind of food allergy we are trying to narrow down. Certain foods upset her bodies balance and cause excess ear drainage & build up. We've tried Science Diet ZD, Wellness Core Reduced Fat & this one. So far this is the only one that seems to be a little more agreeable with her. It would have been rated 5 stars, but it causes her & our other Basset slight constipation & excessive gas.

This food is great. We have been feeding our golden retriever Eagle Brand for years. She is a healthy and active 13 yrs. and 8 months old. She deserves the best and we think this food helps us give it to her.
2. Karen on 7/17/2009, said:
This was recommended to me by the Great Dane Lady, who has spent her life researching canine nutrition - and not as her business - just for her love of dogs. My Cavaliers have eaten this product for 2 years now and they are doing wonderful at 9-1/2 and 12 years of age.
3. Gracie on 5/18/2009, said:
My doggie loves this food. He's a 9 year old Shih-Tzu and has eaten Holistic Select in all flavors and configurations for almost 7 years.

Since we put our Senior Lab on this food it is like having a puppy again. The vet can not believe how healthy and fit our 11 year old dog is.
Complete Senior Dog Food - Horizon Complete is a Canadian manufactured, high quality product that uses the very best ingredients Canada has to offer. This formula combines a unique blend of human grade ingredients, in optimal balance, plus a full menu of unique supplements and anti-oxidants. Your pet needs the appropriate levels of key nutrients, including fresh muscle meat, high quality whole grains, vitamins and minerals to maintain a healthy immune system. Horizon Complete provides just that. It is a balance diet that is specifically formulated to achieve the highest standards of nutrition, performance and taste.
The wise ones of the dog kingdom remember when dog food was a quarter, bones were free, and drinking from water hoses wasn’t taboo. For crying out loud we now have bottled water for dogs, day spas and gourmet pet food, what is the world coming to? So we had the crazy idea to create a favorite medley of flavors that is sure to remind them of yesteryear when they once were Homecoming Queen. Who says growing older means you have to eat bland food, consume massive amounts of fiber, play canasta and do water aerobics? The Merrick family says live life to the fullest, ditch the dentures and use what your parents gave you, these are the golden years!

How much food your dog eats is dependent upon size, level of activity, stage of reproduction, and environment. When feeding in measured amounts, feed according to the weight of your dog. Use this table as a GENERAL GUIDE to determine how much Merrick Five-Star Gourmet to feed your dog.
*For dogs over 100 lbs.. add 1/2 cup of dry dog food for each additional 10 lbs. Adjust feeding level to your dog's individual needs. Puppies and nursing females may consume two or three times the recommended amount per day. Keep fresh water available at all times.

It is so nice to be able to purchase safe pet food without worring that it came from CHINA. Also the fact that it does not contain fillers and other junk. It is expensive but worth the price, to keep our babies safe!

I have a small yorkie, she likes this food and the size is small. She doesnt chew real well so this food works better than some of the others for her. Overall the change from her other food to is going well. No upset tummies.
5. Adrian on 12/15/2008, said:
The kibbles are small so my medium-sized dog doesn't do much chewing. Taste-wise she seems to like it.
It's not easy to find a grain-free, reduced fat kibble!
