Questions & Answers

What are the Raw ingredients? I see no freeze dried meat?

Answer by rirvingAug 09, 2021
Freeze-dried raw pieces are mixed into the kibble in a pure state to provide nutritional benefits that are easily digestible and taste great. The raw inclusion goes through rigorous testing and a proven process called High-Pressure Processing (HPP) to ensure food safety.

does the freeze dried food have to have water added to make it moist or can it be fed dry?

This food does not require rehydration and should be fed as-is.

How big are the pieces of kibble? For example the size of a pea or larger?

Answer by bulrichNov 07, 2019
This kibble is intended for all breed sizes. The dry kibble pieces are approximately 1/4 inch in diameter and the raw-infused kibble is closer to 1/2 inch and is softer in texture.

My dog loves this brand

I’ve been feeding my dog this brand of dog food since she was a pup. I only wish they would bring back several of the old varieties that they discontinued.

This is the 4th bag I bought in a row. He eats it immediately. It’s also great for his digestion.

My dogs love this food! I was getting a different flavor of this food, but the last few bags looked like the whole bag was the bottom of the bag, all the kibble was in tiny pieces like it was crushed. I almost switched to going in store but it must have been the food not the shipping.

My bully was on Diamond Naturals Lamb and would eat it but he started to refuse it or not finish his bowl. I switched him over to this and he gets excited every time I grab his food bowl and finishes his whole bowl.. I can’t think Merrick enough for making a food my boy absolutely loves! I don’t mind paying the price, as long as my boy is full and happy!
