I am getting a toy breed puppy soon, is the kibble small enough for little ones
Answer by Chewy • Aug 26, 2017
This kibble is intended for all breed sizes.
Hey I am about to have anew pup 12 weeks would this food be appropriate and how long should I keep him on. This food as a puppy
Answer by Chewy • Aug 05, 2017
Depending on the breed and the size of your pet, they will remain on puppy food until they're 12 months of age. However, Large breed puppies will often remain eating puppy food longer than 12 months. We do recommend consulting with your veterinarian to ensure that your pet's transition is smooth for optimal nutritional value.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
By Cassi on Jul 19, 2022

At 5 Months plus and loves this chow, especially the freeze dried bits.

Cassi is an Aussidoodle or full size Australian Shepard & Poodle hybrid. Cassi loves to snatch frisbees from air on land or retrieve from our nearby river. Would highly recommend Merrick brand dog foods for health, energy, and temperament. Cassi is extreme high energy puppy now just under 50 pounds she routinely runs along with my mini bike and goes on mile plus walks. This recipe keeps her growing and alert as well.

Trusted Quality

I’ve fed Merrick Backcountry Raw infused to my now adult beagle and to my new Brittany puppy. It’s a food I trust with quality ingredients. Since switching my Brittany from the food she ate at the breeder I have noticed a marked improvement in her coat and amount of scratching.

This food is great not only are the feeding portions smaller so I know their eating what they should when they should but it’s a better quality them most and because that you can tell by how the pups love to eat it unfortunately it’s 70+ a bag being the only downfall great food overall

Vet says no

We just got Ozzy from a rescue. His foster mom had him on this food but the vet says that unless your dog has issues with grains, he should have them. Also there have been heart issues w dogs eating grain free. So I also bought the grain version and am slowly getting our puppy switched over.

Worked for shedding

My dog loves it and shedding subsided. Once he is a year old I’ll be getting the adult version of it.

By LDomingo26 on Mar 26, 2021

Expensive but loved for my Pitbull pup

This was my puppy's first kibble when we got him at 6 weeks old and after testing around with other brands (due to his allergies) we always ended up coming back to this one. This food helped his skin and coat tremendously and he gobbled it down every time. We always got comments on how good he looked when he was on this food. The dried food toppers included were also good side treats for him and overall would give this food a 10/10.
