Merrick's new Game Bird Recipe kicks it out of the park!
By Flower on Oct 16, 2020
My small dog is a very picky eater. Up until now, her favorite food has been Merrick's Duck recipe, which she really likes. She will also eat the Bison formula, after waiting to see if something better is coming. Now, this Game Bird formula has her soooo excited to eat. It's brand new to us, and I've never seen her so excited about a dry food before. I think she thought it was a bowl of treats! Chewy is the best, too. SUCH fast delivery and amazing customer service. 5 stars!!

Quality Food for my Border Collie
By Sammyjammy on May 20, 2020
I will only give my dog quality food and have always been happy with Merrick! Since the beef was not available, I switched to the game. So far, so good!

I USED to Love this food for my 4 dogs...
By Buzz on May 19, 2020
They sold out and the recipe is not as good as it used to be...peas! Now I need to research and try to find something else...

Yes we like this!!
By magimae on Jan 30, 2020
They all seem to like this one pretty well, at least the little white chunks they insist on picking out first. So, I try and destroy it as much as possible and mix in their food so they'll eat all of it. My little picky one actually liked it too until she found it it wasn't a treat. But I have seen her sneaking a few bites of it dry in a bowl I put out in case their normal meal wasn't enough. I may actually get some more of this one.

Picky Poodle Approved!
By Bexstar on Dec 20, 2019
I have three Standard Poodles who eat free choice, and I rotate foods regularly to prevent allergies, insure balanced nutrition, and because the Poods get bored of food quickly. They don’t love everything- whether it’s $100 a bag Orijen or $20 Purina from the local grocery, they like what they like... or don’t. This Merrick Backcountry Game Bird is huge like! May actually be the new favorite! They are still excited to eat at the end of the bag, and that excitement is usually reserved for when I open a new bag of something. Happy to find a regular to add to the rotation!

By loveourmutt on Feb 8, 2020
So convenient to be able to get my dogs food delivered. He loves the freeze dried bits, in fact he usually picks those out first because he thinks they are treats.

Premium dog food, soft stool + lack of freeze dried pieces
By Benny on Oct 7, 2019
I'll start by adding, my 2yr old dog has never had "great" poop and he's gone from Blue Buffalo to Purina PP Savor. But I was expecting for a high quality/high price dog food with little-to-no filler that my dog's stool would be firmer, darker, and less frequent. Not so. I'm gradually moving him on to Merrick's Hero's Banquet hoping that a change in protein will do the trick, but if not, it's back to drawing board. And yes, I agree with a previous reviewer that there could be more freeze dried meat pieces per bag.
