While we cannot guarantee that the the chicken/poultry used in the Merrick recipes are free range, Merrick purchases real meat from trusted farmers that uphold their safety and quality criteria. We can assure you they have a very close relationship with their suppliers and would never knowingly purchase from a supplier that did not treat the animals humanely. For them, proper animal handling is an important moral and ethical obligation. That's why they require all their suppliers to provide documentation about their policies and auditing practices. They look for suppliers who raise animals in humane ways. With this in mind, all animals used as protein sources in their products are processed according to USDA standards and regulations. USDA Officials are onsite visually monitoring the process. They have a very close relationship with their suppliers and would never knowingly purchase from a supplier that did not treat animals humanely.

Once your pup enters the adult life stage, they should be transitioned to adult food. Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Raw Dry Dog Food is also available in several formulas for adult dogs. A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months. We always encourage reaching out to your vet for the best results for your little one.

Chicken meal is made up of chicken that has been ground and cooked, reducing the fat content to create a protein-rich ingredient. It’s high in protein and amino acids to help strengthen and maintain your pet’s muscles. It’s also a high-quality source of glucosamine for joint health. Chicken meal does not include feathers, heads, feet or entrails.
