About the raw bites
By Tracy on May 4, 2021
I am so sorry to see that some of you didn’t have the amount of raw bites you expected from the bag. It seems like all of the raw bites you missed have came in to the bag I bought : ‘ Dwe got more than efficient amount of raw bites in the bag and I think my dog is enjoying it a lot.

Not the same quality
By Lily on Mar 17, 2021
My dog was very excited when I changed over to this new food as it had chunks of freeze dried raw meat after I had purchased a small bag from a feed store locally to see if she'd like it. When I ordered the larger bag of the same Merrick Back Country from Chewy, I was very disappointed. There are NO chunks of the raw freeze dried meat in the entire 20lb. bag. And this is not a cheap dog food! I am beyond extremely upset over this. Is Chewy buying top quality of this brand or is it some kind of brand reject? I believe that there is another complaint of this sort about the same food. I'm very disappointed in Chewy.

What a ripoff
By Sarah on Mar 11, 2021
I can't believe I paid $70 for this dog food. Upon opening I was so excited to see the frozen bits, it seemed to be a substantial amount so I really thought I was getting my money's worth. However, after I fed my 2 big dogs the bag (20 pounds doesn't last very long with these goobers btw, so this needed to be worth it) I realized all of the frozen bits were only at the top, therefore making it completely overpriced. Won't be buying this again.

Love the meat
By Betty on Apr 10, 2021
My fur chi chi’s love the chunks of freeze dried meat. The kibble were good too. There aren’t enough meat chunks in the bag as opposed to the kibbles. I still will buy it and mix it in with their original food.

Very disappointed
By Jdmii on Mar 7, 2021
I received this item and at first upon opening the bag was pleased to see large raw bites on top. After a few bowls almost all the raw bits are gone which is the main reason I bought this and I’m sure why most people buy it. For $70 for 15 lbs of dog food definitely not worth it. Won’t be buying again and I canceled my auto ship.

my Pitbull loves This food !
By 1234 on Feb 9, 2021
My Pitbull loves this food he says both the dry and freeze dried bits. He used to o my eat once a day bcus he wasn’t so excited about his food. I used to leave his food out all day and let him eat when he wanted to since feeding time wasn’t exciting for him. Now I feed him twice a day and don’t leave it out and he can’t wait to eat. He eats it all usually.

No Freeze-dried raw chunks
By Jonn on Mar 10, 2021
I've purchased this dog food several times, but this last order had zero chunks of the freeze dried food, thought maybe I got the regular kind, but it was the Raw Infused bag. My dog is a baby and thinks I'm punishing him, haha.

Merrick dog food
By Janice on Mar 16, 2021
Bindi loves the big freeze dried raw but she will not eat the small bits. I would rate this a 5 if she would eat all of it. Can I just buy the large freeze dried chunks?

Hit or Miss on the Raw Pieces... Shortchanged!
By dwells on Feb 2, 2021
My boys love the raw bits but, it's hit or miss as to whether you get them and how many. My bag of the salmon had bits throughout the bag, the beef had about 15 pieces on top and to the bottom of the bag, we never saw another raw bite! My dogs and I are both disappointed. We know the bits raise the cost of this food and we paid the price but were shortchanged!

Wanted to love it
By Nope on Apr 19, 2021
Wanted to love this for my dog- healthy. Seemed like it would be great. Unfortunately my dog wouldn’t eat it at all.
