Good quality food
By AstridRox on Jan 9, 2022
I started using this years ago for my picky bulldog with allergies to poultry. Both of my dogs like this food. The freeze dried bits tend to sit on top the bag, and are only a small fraction of the food. That doesn't seem to bother either of them. They have healthy shiny coats too.

what happened to the bits?
By motherduck on Jan 8, 2022
My dogs have loved this food for quite awhile. This last bag however, is really short on the chunks. My dogs think they’re getting treats when I feed them. Now, they look in their bowl and up at me like I’m playing a joke. No joke. I’m switching brands

My dogs say no!
By Mioshel on Jan 14, 2022
I bought this product during the lock down as it was the only Merrick Backcountry food available. My dogs hated it, refused to eat it. They had never done that with any Merrick product before. Almost $70 wasted. :|

Just what my dog needs
By Chance on Nov 22, 2021
I have had my dog on the Merrick Limited Ingredient Salmon kibble for several months. He doesn't seem interested in it anymore. Switched him to the Merrick Great Plains Red Recipe and he is eating all of it and is a lot happier. Hoping the additional protein will give him more energy. Started out with a 4# bag and just got a 20# bag now that I'm sure he likes it. He is unable to have any poultry due to his dermatitis.

Almost A Winner
By Luis on Nov 17, 2021
My husky doesn't show any interest in the kibble but likes the freeze dried stuff. And I feel that there was an ample amount in the 20lbs bag. He definitely prefers this over the Instinct version. The bag also cannot be resealed to keep the food fresh.

Good dog food
By moose on Dec 28, 2021
My Boxers like this food but the smarter pup cherry picks the freeze dried meat as soon as I put it down. I free feed because I have three Boxers and they like to graze and eat at different times.

she loves it!
By Regan on Nov 10, 2021
At first I thought the bag would be small considering it’s only 20 pounds but it’s actually pretty decent sized. I wanted to put my dog on something healthier so I decided to try this out and she just ate it instantly. She wouldn’t do that with her old food so I can tell she really enjoys this! There is also PLENTY of freeze dried chunks in the bag as well! Will definitely be buying again!

Great kibble
By Teddybear on Oct 12, 2021
I've been feeding my Rottweiler Merrick kibble since I got him at 14 weeks old. He recently turned 15 and is still in great shape. His hips are beginning to weaken and sometimes needs help getting up from hardwood floors and his coat thinning a little and turning a reddish hue but other than that, he's in great shape! He walks and swims every day at least once a day. I highly recommend Merrick kibble. If Ted, my Rottie could talk, he'd tell you the same! That's my boy!

Definitely get again
By Emma on Dec 19, 2021
My dog loves this food. She will eat 2 cups in an hour because she loves this food so much. The chunks of food, is like a treat for her.

A new food and my dogs are so happy!
By Phea on Jul 28, 2021
I have been feeding my two dogs a mixture of raw meat and kibble their entire lives. They have always been less than excited about the kibble portion. I decided to switch it up to see if I could entice them to eat more kibble and I was blown away by their response. I always dump the entire contents of the bag into a sealed plastic container (mice like to come in from the field and chew through the bags) and as I did so, my youngest started eating mouthfuls of the kibble straight from the container! He has NEVER done that! I was so happy to him excited about kibble for a change! The texture is much more moist than what they are use to kibble-wise and the raw chunks are almost like a little treat I have been feeding my two dogs a mixture of raw meat and kibble their entire lives.

The price is high but I'm used to spending $60-80 a bag as both of my dogs have food allergies we have to keep in check. This is well worth the price if my dogs are going to enjoy eating it. I'm so glad I switched! Thanks! … more
