More dented cans

2 months in a row, cases full of cans that are all dented in different places. None of which look to have happened while in these cases, they seem to have been packed after denting based on where the dents were and the amount of dents. Not cool to do at this price point (or any really). I am paying for a premium food, stop sending me things that would never sell on a shelf, otherwise you cheapen your brand and make retail relevant again.

It has big meaty chunks and light broth. It smells sooo good, lol. My dog was very excited to get her first bite of the chunk of meat. I mixed some of this into her dry food and it was all gone in minutes. I like that it provides superior nutrition full of vitamins & minerals and especially that it is cooked in the USA.

I received this product for free for the purpose of my review. All opinions are my own. #ad #freesample My fur baby Chihuahua is pretty picky so it's hard to get him to want to eat his food at times. He prefers to eat different food and flavors every day and play with his food if he doesn't like it. When I added the Merrick grain free wet food to his bowl, he actually seemed curious and excited! He smelled it and gobbled his food up and then went sniffing around to see if there was anymore. He comes running eagerly to eat now and is a happy dog! I love the ingredients they use and how they are fully transparent with what they add. Compared to other types of wet food, you can tell the quality in the chunks of meat each can has. Highly recommend!

When asked if I wanted to try out a can of Merrick Backcountry for free, I was like yes please! I have been eating Merrick wet food for a very long time now. I even remember when Backcountry was first introduced. They have always had very tasty recipes and this one is no different. The first ingredient is deboned beef. Now I am a bird kind of gal. Duck, quail, chicken, turkey, even ostrich. I love them all. I usually do not get beef in my canned foods. I will be asking mom to add this recipe to my list of cans she needs to buy for me. I thought this recipe was really tasty. When mom showed me the can, I got excited because it was canned food day. I then started doing the tippy tap dance once I could smell it. This recipe is a stew, so I was super happy. Stews are my favorite kinds of canned food. It had huge chunks of beef, plus a very tasty gravy that had beef and turkey broth. It also has carrots and green beans. I am okay with those veggies. I was very happy it did not have peas. Mom loves that beef is the first ingredient. She is a little picky when it comes to my food and prefers to have meat as the first ingredient. I do love that this recipe also calls attention to K9 for Warriors it brings attention to their cause of matching pups to Veterans who have PTSD. A very worthy cause. I did receive this can for free in exchange for an honest review. I say 4 paws up!

Wholesome limited ingredient and my dog can't get enough! Grain-free, gluten -free and packed full of vitamins and minerals at an affordable price. And let's not forget that a portion goes to K9S for Warriors! I feel good letting my dog eat this food. He loves it and I love it. The food is chuncks in gravy and it's a perfect amount of each. I didn't really find anything that I didn't like about the Heros Banquet! I did receive a can in exchange for my honest review. These views are mine and mine alone. My opinion my honest and true opinion! I highly recommend this food!

I loved the merrick Backcountry grain free heros banquet canned wet food I split it between two meals for both of my dogs they love the fact that the gravy was easy to coat all the dry food that I normally fix for them and that the chunks of stew meat were able to be broken down for my little dog and my bigger dog was able to just have chunks of wet dog food and it was nice I saw vegetables and the stew and I thought it was great that they included it for dogs nutrition they definitely like this flavor I like the easy open tops and my dogs definitely like the fact that it was a stew style with meat gravy veggies I felt it was really quality ingredients #ad #freesample i loved the chicken smell not overwhelmed and my dogs seemed to like this one alot 1sd best of 3 tried i love that part of proceeds donated for k9 dogs hero fund

Received this product free as a sample for review purposes. Every morning at breakfast, our two rescues get wet food. The lab mix gets a spoonful for her meds and the AmStaff mix gets some mixed with his dry because he's super picky and otherwise won't eat. It passed the picky test but just barely. He ate the chunks but wasn't interested in licking the gravy off the spoon. Our lab mix loved it (but there's not much she doesn't love to eat). In all a decent product but I think a different flavor would be better for our pups.
