YES!!! I've been using Evolve Adult Maintenance on and off for approx. 18 months. Its an AWESOME food, yet it seems to be a very well kept secret. The ingredients are sourced in the USA, its nutrient dense & cost effective - cannot go wrong with this feed!
At the risk of sounding like an advertisement ... I raise dual purpose Beagles & use the no frills paper "Breeder Bag" which runs me approx $34 for the 40# bag. On that note, the main diet of my hounds is cooked w/ some raw meat added, and the other kibble I sometimes supplement with is Timberwolf Organics.
The hounds stay in better condition on the Evolve than they do with the pricier TWO or the home prepared diet. Coats are THICK, glossy and shed minimally. Teeth stay amazingly pearly white (in fact, the Evolve canned food has to be the only brand I've ever used that didn't rot their teeth).
My brood bitches free whelp large, vigorous litters & keep on weight, have plenty of good quality milk for the pups. They don't ever look haggard or run down after several weeks of nursing. I now feed my pups the Adult formula mixed with fresh meat, simply because the puppy food was too nutrient dense for them, and they gained too much weight - which was the only "con" to this brand. Their coats are remarkable & stools infrequent and hard - a blessing with a litter of hooligan pups
So yeah, I'd recommend Evolve w/o hesitation ... and I don't sell it either, lol. If I knew how to post pics here, I'd show off some of my hounds when they were eating Evolve as the majority of the diet ...
