My dog would rather starve himself
By Mike on Mar 27, 2021
I bought this food for my dog and no joke he would pick out the dry and leave this stuff behind. I attempted to mask the smell by mixing this in with other food so it wouldn’t go to waste, but with no success. He smelled it immediately and more expensive food was wasted. I should have returned the food for a refund but too late now. I’m sure some dogs enjoy this, but mine certainly did not.

Well received by picky eater
By Stacey on Feb 8, 2021
This is the only canned food we’ve tried that Kermit will eat. And thank goodness. His coat is shiny, his eyes are bright and his poops are solid and easy to clean up. Highly recommend.

PROS: ingredient list; CONS: smells like vomit and gives loose stools
By ChewyCustomer on Apr 11, 2020
This wet food has great ingredients although I would prefer it had selenium yeast as opposed to sodium selenite (synthetic form), and my dog seems to love it. Unfortunately, it gives him loose stools and it smells like vomit. We have tried both the beef and chicken recipes and the outcome is the same. We will not be purchasing it again.

Here’s the Beef!!
By Banty on Apr 23, 2020
Smells great. Dogs love it. Great supplemental food or to use as I do: to hide pills! Not slime like some I have tried.

Great for a sensitive shar-pei
By MJandAudrey on Oct 5, 2019 top25Contributor
Purchased this for my 6 1/2 year old shar-pei. She loves it so much and I love the ingredient list! This breed is known for having so many skin problems. But if you just feed them right, they do so well. My girl is allergic to chicken and this variety of merrick back country is all beef! Fantastic ingredients and my girl looks great. This food is a late style loaf but it is very soft. It smells like meat.

Good stuff
By SteveG on May 28, 2019
When you have 2 GSD very picky eaters, you learn to change food every once in a while. All Merrick products give you that choice. I prefer grain free and they have good stuff.
