Questions & Answers

5 Customer Questions

What is the phosphorus content of this food?
Answer by Chewy • May 21, 2022
The phosphorus content on an as-fed and dry matter basis for the Merrick Backcountry Grain-Free is 96%. The Real Beef Dinner Recipe Canned Dog Food as fed is 18% and Dry Matter 0.93%.
Why is gum part of the ingredients? I've never seen a dog chewing on a tree.
Answer by Chewy • Jan 12, 2021
Merrick is using a few different ingredients in their new canned recipes, such as Agar Gum, Ghatti Gum, Guar Gum, Locust Bean Gum, and Xanthan Gum. These are used as natural thickening agents. They are natural ingredients that are commonly used in human foods, like salad dressing, to add thickness and are perfectly safe for pets.
Does this contain chicken or poultry by-products?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 22, 2020
This recipe is free of chicken or poultry by-products. For a complete list of the ingredients of this product navigate to the "Nutritional Info" tab just beneath the product.
How long can this be refrigerated after opening?
Answer by Chewy • Nov 05, 2019
Opened cans should be stored in the fridge, at temperatures between 40-45°F, for a maximum of 5-7 days. Any cat or dog food remaining after that time should be thrown out.

My dog likes it

I have a black lab and she eats mostly kibble with toppers or chicken. On occasion we will give her wet food. When we gave her this she ate it, which is a good sign because I've never met a dog as particular about food as mine. I did like I could see actual food chunks in it. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Might have to switch wet food

I think it might be time for me to consider switching wet food brands. My 1 year old dog is the pickiest eater I’ve ever had. He refuses to eat his kibble unless there’s something a little more enticing mixed in, so I started giving him wet food with every meal to get him to eat. After trying a few different brands, we settled on Hill Science Diet, because that’s his kibble brand and he seemed to like the wet food version. It worked - for a while. He seems to have stopped liking it now. When we opened the can of Merrick’s wet food, his nose started going and he ate up his dinner pretty much as soon as I put the dish down. It’s been like that for the past four or five meals now! The can we received has run out, so I’m going to pick up a few more at the store and see if this trend continues. Fingers crossed!

Baby loves it

It is a bit watery and sloshy before you open the can but it solidified when I put it in the fridge. It remained soft the next day which is good in my opinion since other dog foods tend to crinkle up and dry. (I did put it in a ziplock bag before refrigerating the opened can) My dog devoured this! I did have to mix in her medicine and she didn’t seem to mind. Looks like the flavor trumped the medicine and she just sucked up every last piece of food! She loved it! She is a 5 lb chihuahua and we’ve almost finished the can already! Don’t know where all that food is going but I’m glad she’s enjoying it! I received this free in exchange for my honest review.

Our pets loved it!

(I received these products for free from Infuenster and brands in exchange for my honest review.) My dogs are not big canned wet food eaters but they loved this! I liked that the label was easy to read and the ingredients were healthier and didn't have a ton of fillers. We also gave some to our Blue tongue skink and he cleaned his bowl quick! We will be looking into more foods and products from Merrick in the future for our pets

Delicious - ate so fast!

When I put this out for my dog he ate it so quickly that I had to wonder if I even fed him! The beefy flavor and smell were not artificial. He seemed to enjoy it and have a reservation about adding soft /wet food to his mix that days. I did notice it made his stool softer and runnier but no stomach complaints otherwise.

She loves it!

I tried different wet dog food brands some higher end and lower; this style one is my go to ! I mixed this with dry kibble and she devoured it immediately! Her coat is thicker and softer than ever. If you love your dog feed them this food. Your dog will love it and you will love knowing it is healthy and safe.

Real ingredients

My dog devoured this mixed in with his regular dry dog food. As a senior dog (over 15 1/2 years old) sometimes he takes a little longer to eat his meals. However adding, Merricks backcountry grain free real beef dinner, he gladly ate it quickly. Reading the ingredients list I was happy to see that there was all natural real ingredients listed. I would recommend!

Definitely a winner

I received this free in exchange for my review. I split this up and mixed it in with 4 meals for my dog. He absolutely loved it and gobbled it up. He was asking for more even after it was all gone. I will definitely be getting him some more.

Only the best for my fuzzy guy

My old fuzzy guy definitely enjoyed his meal. I mixed the can with kibble and he devoured it without even looking up once. My furry family deserve all the high quality food and nutrition. I like that this has real deboned beef as the first ingredient and rich in vitamin and minerals. I love him and he loves me. I received this product free in exchange for my honest opinion.
