The number you see after the ingredient list is an indicator for the manufacturer to identify that it is an updated recipe.

My dog is HIGHLY allergic to pork. Is the gelatin in this food pork-based?

The gelatin in Merrick formulas is pork based.

Is the 20-lb bag resealable like the 12-lb bag? thanks!

Merrick has recently changed the packaging of their dry food products to a stronger bag, which no longer features the zipper seal.

I noticed that my 12 lb bag nuggets are smaller and a different shape than the 4 lb bag. Has Merrick changed the formula too. ?

Good ingredients

They graze this but I believe they are not a fan of sweet potatoes. I went with adding it with a Cesar flavor. They are so picky. I'm not getting a hit as of yet

Thought it was really a really good complete diet!

It was all clumped up in the bag big pieces I couldn't even break apart! Had to throw the clumps away! Too expensive for that!

We switched to this product because our dogs were both suddenly having allergy issues like constant itchiness and sneezing after they would eat our usual brand

The Brand Works

Tried many different brands to get my mini poodle to run to the food dish. This is the only one that she liked.
