has a very finicky golden retriever eater who suffers from food allergies. Simba
(her dog) had been on Canidae, then Innova. While Simba did better on Innova,
he would still not eat until he had and only if she would be there with him. to
a feed store and the worker there told her about <st1:place w:st="on">Merrick</st1:place>
and Lotus. Lotus was what sold her. She bought some and to her amazement Simba
is less itchy and he eats on his own!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
