Merrick for Older Rottie

Our vet advised us to give our new rottie a better quality food than the Nutro we were feeding. She is a rescue and 8 years old and seems to be picky.

She seems to like the Merrick foods we are giving her however she always seemed hungry on 1/2 can in am and 1/2 at night mixed with Merrick dry.

We started to give her a whole can in am and eve and she seems satisfied. My only concern (besides the darn price of the stuff) is that it seems to be 90% gravy. I want to give her good nutrition but if the reason she is eating a whole can twice a day is because they are giving more gravy than food, then I would like to find a better alternative.

I have heard good things about Buffalo Blue and a few others. Any suggestions?

I am trying to keep her (per vet) on a higher protein diet to keep her fit and trim in her older years. She is currently 88 lbs and seems very solid.

Any suggestions on good quality food? Also, is the one can morn and night too much??

Hugs
