Weight of Bag keeps dropping but stays expensive
By Josh on May 19, 2020
I love this dog food but I’m not sure I’ll be buying this anymore. I have watched the weight of the bag drop from 25lbs to 22lbs and now to 20lbs and I’m still paying the same ridiculous price of 69.99 per bag. Where does this end?

4% Raw Pieces
By Merrick on Apr 17, 2020
I recently switched to merrick bc my dog really loved the raw pieces, but out of the 6 bags I’ve purchased I’ve noticed there aren’t many raw pieces in the bag for the price difference between the bag without the raw pieces. I reached out to merrick and was told they only put 4% of the raw pieces in the bag. Not worth it for the price difference.

My dogs like it
By FranklinsMom on Apr 3, 2020
In light of COVID-19 I had to change my dogs food, I originally fed them Stella & Chewy’s Freeze Dried Raw Blend, which is super similar to this dog food. It’s dry kibble, coated in freeze dried raw, with chunks of freeze dried raw. My dogs love this food but it’s not available online. My dogs really like this Merrick food tho and switched to this no problem. My only complaint is there’s not as many chunks of freeze dried raw but my dogs don’t seem to mind.

Nice Dogs Like The Raw bits
By Janice on Apr 29, 2020
Not pups really enjoy it but I still mix in sometimes. The only thing is the size is a bit smaller than I am used to - So a bit more mo ru for a bunch less food. Just hoping they are staying healthy due to the mixture - Then it is worth it

My dog & cats love this food!
By Fluffer on Mar 29, 2020
I needed a dog food free of any type of birds because of my dogs sensitivities to turkey, chicken, quail, etc. This dog food has all mammals as the main proteins and also some salmon. My dog loves it and does not experience any digestive issues. My six cats were very interested in this food when I would get it out, so I have been feeding it to them and their digestive issues have stopped. Highly recommend!

Changed formula?
By Lins on May 25, 2020
I am not sure what Merrick has done to this recipe but after almost year my dogs refuse to eat it anymore. I will not be buying this food again.

Shipping is LONG
By lazer on Apr 28, 2020
I have shopped with Chewy for a couple of years. Covid has delayed shipping considerably. I will stop using Chewy until things go back to normal. I just can't wait two weeks for my dogs food to show up.

Lulu Loves.
By SpritKeeper on May 16, 2020
Lulu loves this selection. Initially, I fed her duck and sweet potato. Her reaction to that was so-so. But she is more energetic about this selection.

First time buying this
By harness on Apr 7, 2020
This was my first time buying this brand. It seems both dogs are doing well on it. It has glucosamine and chondroitin which is good. I'd like to see dog food that has everything they need it in calcium, omegas etc. It's a bit pricey.
