my Pitbull loves This food !
By 1234 on Feb 8, 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.

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!

Best Grain Free Product
By Liccet on Jan 10, 2021
When my Vet told me that I needed to take my pup off Taste of the Wild because of a small study, I began to do my own research on the ideal diet for my dog and the breeds he is mixed with. I found Merrick's to be a credible company but this particular recipe met all the requirements I needed for my puppy's health needs! Plus, he LOVES THIS FOOD so much that we hd to get him a slow feeder. Lol

Where’s the chunks?
By Dogguy on Feb 23, 2021
I have bought this several times but this batch had almost no raw chunks which is the best part. Never buying this again, my dog is really all about the chunks

not all that great
By greatplains on Jan 23, 2021
Who he it offers raw pieces, just as it states, there isn’t but enough to justify it offering raw food. Also, my 14 year old mini schnauzer projectile vomited multiple days in a row after consuming this food.

Not consistent
By Pina on Jan 1, 2021
I have been buying Merrick for the last 3 months and the raw nuggets have not been consistent in size, color nor quantity. At times it felt extra greasy also. My dogs have actually refused to eat from 2 bags of it. I have switched to a better more controlled dog food

so great! gonna get more
By mella on Nov 17, 2020
I received this complementary for testing purposes. However my Havanese dog is very picky when it comes to dry food, at times it’s as if she gets bored of the food and walks away. When she tried this brand she loved it she at all of it and even gets excited when she hears the bag which was new. I’m glad it comes with 3 different types of meat so she won’t get bored. As for my pit bull she loves anything she eats but you only see the damage after she goes to the bathroom, but it didn’t mess up her stomach which was a super plus for me. Definitely gonna buy them this.

My dogs loved this stuff!!
By Ashley2005 on Nov 19, 2020
I was sent a small bag of this to see how my dogs liked it! They absolutely loved the taste and couldn't get enough. I mixed it with their current dog food and now that the bag is empty I have some sad labs! So mama promised them she would get them a bag! I could tell right off they were unsure of the raw pieces at first. Once they tasted it they were in puppy heaven!! They are begging for more..
