We own 5 dogs who weigh between 55 lbs and up to 95 lbs so purchasing a grain-free kibble has been costly until we switched to Exceed Grain-Free Salmon and Pea formula. Their coats are shiny, skin isn't itchy, and they all have normal bowels. When we first switched over we didn't do it gradually as we ran out of the other food shortly after purchasing our first bag. They all had some soft stools at first but this passed once their intestinal tract was used to the new food, about two weeks into the Exceed formula. With 5 dogs, we go through a bag every 2 weeks. The only issues we have is our local store runs out of the food before restocking so we must buy 2 bags at a time to ensure we do not run out. I've had it shipped to our house (we have the Plus membership so shipping is free) but it comes with a label on the bag, not in a box. I don't like how its shipped. We live 45 minutes from our closest Sam's Club so when it isn't available at the store we must order online. This is the best grain-free salmon formula that we've been able to find. Affordable, great tasting (just ask the dogs!), and no awful fillers or grains.

I've been feeding my dog the Member's Mark Exceed dry food for the past 4-5 years (initially the Lamb and Rice one, and for the past couple years the Salmon and Pea Grain Free one). I learned that all of the Member's Mark dry dog foods contain a potentially toxic ingredient called "Menadione" (aka "Vitamin K3") which is banned in human supplements in the US. High doses or prolonged exposure to menadione has the potential to cause liver damage. Dogs need extremely little Vitamin K, and almost always get what they need simply from the meat ingredients of the food. AAFCO doesn't require any Vitamin K in dog food so I'm at a loss as to why Sam's Club refuses to remove this controversial ingredient. It would save them money and no one would miss it. My older dog has developed extremely high ALP/ALT numbers for the past few years. This could indicate the early stages of liver disease. Not sure if it's related to the food, but why take the risk? The new Member's Mark grain free canned dog food does not have this ingredient. I recommend that as an alternative if you're willing to pay more for wet food.

This is one of the only dog foods we have found that does not have chicken meal in the ingredients (our dog has a poultry allergy). So it is awesome. But my dogs are not crazy about the taste. They eat it only when they are super hungry and turn their nose up at it otherwise.

I have a Rat Terrier that suffered from chronic skin allergies. She was given cortisone shots and took 3 Benadryl per day (vet prescribed) and was still itchy non stop and extremely prone to hot spots. I came across this dog food at Sam?s and man what a difference it has made!! Her skin allergies have COMPLETELY cleared up (no longer on any meds) just by switching over to this food. I tried all of the grain free options and the dogs LOVE the flavor of this one. It does have a very strong fish smell, but so worth it! Highly recommend this food.

My dog seemed to have liked it for a few years and it seemed good for my dogs coat and allergies. It was a great value as well. The vet even felt that it was a good food. However, for some reason my dog just got tired of eating it and stopped wanting to eat it. I also have been told by a vet that giving your dog grain free foods is not always the best. I guess it all depends on your own pets needs. Seems like most dog foods now are all grain free, etc. So I had to move onto something with grains and with different flavor. Other wise it is a good dog food to stick with.

Our dachshund was having severe allergy issues and scratching around the clock. She had several raw places on her back and legs. The vet said it was seasonal and environmental. I bought this dog food for the first time . The itching decrease significantly and she has even lost some weight and seems to have more energy. She loves it and never leaves any. Lucy is 12 years old and I only wish that I had discovered this dog food in her younger years. I will never buy anything else for her.

My dogs are picky and LOVED this. I have dogs that are extra small (chihuahua) to extra large (Great Pyrenees and Bloodhound). Every single one of them loved it. The food is made up of small pieces also so that works good for the little dogs. Very impressed!!

I have six dogs with varying allergies, but I can feed all of them this dog food and they tolerate it well. One female has a sensitive stomach needs to have canned pumpkin added to all her food, regardless of which brand, but she other than that, she tolerates this just as well as the others, which is great, since I don't have to keep a separate food container for her, and the price is affordable.Their fur is nice and sleek and shiny.

We have been purchasing this food for our dogs for years and they both loved it! Recently they became very insistent that they were not going to eat it. We mixed things in with the kibble and eventually they would. Our older dog suddenly became I'll and collapsed to the floor. We were goo g to have him out down because we dis t want him to suffer. Made the very appointment and everything. Next morning he seemed ok. Happened again and we completely stopped the food and he is seeming so much better. Something has definitely changed with this food. I am returning it and we will feed our guys something else.

This is the food I switched all 3 dogs to. First bag, Rufus broke out and was covered in hives and crusty bumps. Their symptoms are identical to folliculitis so I thought it was his sessional allergies. I bought another bag, then Oso and Veira broke out and started refusing the food 3 days ago. Veira is 8 years old and has NEVER broken out with anything! Please do not feed this to your animals! It's obviously horrible if all 3 of my dogs broke out from it and 2 of them who scarf food down like crazy refused it and or could care less. Not to mention this food has caused them to STINK and I bathe my dogs 1-2 times a week! They continue to stink literally right after their baths.
