Merrick or Castor & Pollux Kibble
Does anyone have any feedback concerning these two brands of dog food:
Merrick http://www.merrickpetcare.com/
Castor & Pollux http://www.castorpolluxpet.com/
I'm looking for a puppy food for our new baby. Stanley eats Natural Balance and we love that but they don't make a "puppy" variety. Even though they say their food is for all life stages - I'd rather stick to a kibble formulated for puppies. I've been thinking of these two only because they are both available at Petco which is convenient for me and I've feed Stanley treats made by these companies that he has loved.
Anyone else feeding their corgis one of these???

No, we are feeding Wellness Just for Puppy and have been very happy with it. It's sold Through Petco as well. look at if before you decide.

Yeah, I know people love Wellness and it's a great brand. We actually fed Stanley Wellness when he was a puppy and it didn't agree with him at all. He had loose stools and was very gassy until we got him on Natural Balance. I'm not ruling it out for Charlie but want to explore other options....

I fed Baxter the Castor and Pollux Organix puppy brand. He loved it and I didn't notice any digestive problems with it. But as he got older (just before hitting 1 year old,) he always seemed itchy and I noticed dead skin flakes when I'd brush him. I tried adding a coat supplement to his food, but nothing seemed to help. When he switched to adult food, I started him on Orijen Six Fish and his coat issue cleared right up.

My opinion - I'd just feed them both the Natural Balance if it agrees with them. Most breeders recommend feeding an adult food right away, because you want the puppy to grow nice and slow. Otherwise I'd try and find a large breed puppy formula.
This article is worth a read IMO:

We fed Alwyn "Merrick" and although he's a very picky eater, he never had any problems on it. We'd mix a little Linatone in with the Merrick kibble and he'd always gobble it right now. He's now been eating Taste of the Wild (good for all ages) and it's just as fantastic. Are there are other particular concerns you have between either brand? I cannot give any personal experiences with Castor & Pollux.
