My dog eats Merrick soft food and for the hard food he eats Nutro. Merrick is coming out with hard food in the near future so I'm going to have him try that when it comes out. My cats eat Merrick soft food too and they eat Wellness hard food. Again, when Merrick comes out with hard food, I'll see if they like it. I really like Merrick. It's expensive, but I think it's well worth it. Sometimes I think my pets eat better than me!
