My pup loves this food
My pup is not a picky eater, but she does turn her nose up to some foods. As soon as I get the bag out, she’s right there waiting for me to top her kibble. She will eat all the Merrick raw morsels first. Such a happy pup!
My girls beg for this freeze dry food
Annie and Wiggles won’t eat their other food unless they get this product added to their food.
My dog loves the freeze dried foods and I’m unable to find them in store so I figured let me order from chewy. I am very pleased!
not a fan :(
I have tried and tried nothing seems to work
Love it!
My little poms love this stuff!
Backcountry
My girls absolutely love this freeze dried raw real beef recipe and I put on top along with their Merrick Backcountry meal .
Wouldn’t buy again
Bought this to mix in with my dogs kibble to make it more appetizing, at the time he hated the kibble he had, and these didn’t even help! The solution was a new kibble. Wouldn’t purchase again and kind of a weird texture
