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.

Shipping took to long
