New excitement!
By Liss on Dec 30, 2020
I received this product as part of a promotion. My dog absolutely loved this product we are going to the store to get more immediately. The second I brought the bag in the house he was sniffing it. We started with just mixing a little of it in with his normal food and I hadnt seen him this excited over mealtime in years. He was jumping all around. There was one day i didnt add it on top and he went over to the bag and sniffed at it and looked at me with those puppy dog eyes begging for some. And hes a picky eater. He gets bored of food quickly and will refuse to eat if it isnt interesting enough. He cant get enough of this stuff though. Especially the raw freeze dried bits. Those are his favorite I received this product as part of a promotion. My dog absolutely loved this product we are going to the store to get more immediately.

Picky Husky
By GingerChoice on Dec 11, 2020
I received this product free for product testing. It was a good thing, too! We had just exhausted our previous bag of kibble when this arrived. The smell was inviting and seemed drool worthy to our picky husky, right outta the bag. As she sniffed her bowl, she used her pointy snoot to pick out the freeze dried bits! Was she simply saving them for later? No. No she wasn't. Overall, I believe she enjoyed the food, but if she's not going to eat the bits, then there's no need to go with this type. I am open to try the other formulations, if she is amenable.

Pup loves it!
By lienl3 on Nov 30, 2020
I received this product free for testing purposes. That being said, our year and a half labradoodle loves it! I was excited to try this because it has freeze dried chunks and a great ingredient list. Before I even opened the bag Momo was sniffing and whining to get into it. I gave a few pieces to her and she was in love. I mixed in a little with her regular food and she eagerly ate it up. Used the smaller bits for reward for tricks and good behavior and she was more excited and more ready to please than normal. She loves the large raw bites, I love the quality!

Magic Merrick
By Jasper on Oct 27, 2020
Jasper is picky. He’s always had a delicate tummy and poopy issues since he was a young pup. We adopted him and he had multiple issues: Giardia that wouldn’t fully go away after several treatments, worms, kennel cough, etc. He was diagnosed with IBS about a year ago and our vet has been helping us navigate foods that he will eat but also reduce his bowel issues. Jasper LOVED the grain-free version of this food (and he had solid poo), but our vet wasn’t thrilled with the grain-free aspect and had us on other food with grains. Jasper wasn’t eating it well. I was over the moon to see that his favorite food is now available with grains! He eats the raw bits first of course, but he still eats the Jasper is picky.

Awesome blossom
By Alex on Dec 10, 2020
This dog food is great. I was impressed when I read the ingredients and even more impressed when I opened up the bag and saw the food. The meat chunks are a great addition to the dog food and switches up the regular bland dog food that dogs are used to. My dog loves this dog food and I will be purchasing for her from here on out.

Unfortunately not for our Husky or Mini Aussie Shepherd
By KaMMA on Nov 4, 2020
We love Merrick and were feeding our pups the Classic Healthy Grains blend for a long time. Our husky was getting bored of the food and also experiencing covid-related anxiety with the change of his routine and everyone adult and child home. So I did some research and tried this for him and his younger pal. We mixed the old with the new for a few weeks until we were out of the old food. Then last week was strictly new food and they both had diarrhea for two days. Switched to a bland diet and spoke the Chewy Vet, amazing by the way. She recommended a calming probiotic from Purina Pro Plan Vet and we will try that. We may go back to the old food.

She enjoyed it!
By Violetpup on Dec 10, 2020
I received this product to test for free and all opinions are my own. She was wary of the new food at first but then she started digging in like it was the best meal she’s had. I like the ingredients and I would buy this if it is available at a good price! I recommend this to any dog owners.

Finn Approved
By Jenny on Jan 12, 2021
Our picky eater Finn who is a blue heeler gobbled it right up. Seems to not be scratching quite as bad either. Therefore it is Finn approved. I will be purchased it again.

Different sized chunks
By LauraZ on Nov 20, 2020
The minute I opened the bag my dog ran over to try it out! He loves the all meat food, but was a bit confused by the large chunks. In fact, he thought these were toys and took them and buried them in the yard! See the picture of him guarding the chunk. I would recommend this for medium to larger breeds as the large chunks were a bit too big for him.

Great food!
By Turelie on Nov 21, 2020
I received this product to test in exchange for my review. My pup, a 4 year old Tamaskan, is incredibly picky. We have struggled with her weight and appetite her whole life, but she loved this food! The raw pieces were tempting enough for her to start eating right away, which usually got her eating kibble shortly after. Would rebuy!
