He loves it!
By Woof on Oct 23, 2020
My senior furry buddy was not eating all of his meals and he just seemed disinterested in activities. He is also suffering from severe arthritis. So I eliminated the canned dog food ( a quality brand) I had been using and started using this Mix In with his current brand of kibble. Not sure which helped, the Merrick Mix In or eliminating the wet canned food but his appetite is improved to the point he now pesters me to be fed. He is also more active and is more playful and going up and down steps better!! I will now transition to the Merrick brand dog food with the freeze dried raw food . Super pleased !

Seconds & Thirds
By Beef on Oct 24, 2020
My girls love this food compared to the other brands. How can I tell? Their eating is habits have changed. They normally go to the bowl get a few bites and bring it to a spot to eat it and normally they end up just leaving leftovers. This time around they eat it until its gone and beg for more.

Sprinkle snack
By Anita on Nov 1, 2020
my dogs love the flavors! they love to eat it but it's too expensive to feed them for meal. I have 180 lb dog so I just use a quarter cup and Isprinkle it on top of his regular dry food.

Dogs love it
By Breezanemom on Jul 28, 2020
A friend recommended that I get this to encourage my dogs to eat their kibble. They now wolf down the kibble with the mixer in it like they are starving (trust me, they are NOT). I would definitely recommend it.

The Good Stuff in the Kibble
By Peroni on Jul 12, 2020
Our dog Peroni loves these mixers, he makes us laugh because they get targeted first in the bowl, then the kibble. The mixers literally make Peroni happy.
