Our dog rarely eats wet food, but we thought we'd switch it up a little bit. We tried several flavors until we got a big hit. Our dog absolutely LOVED this flavor, so we ordered a case of it!

I just received my first order I could smell something rotten through the closed box .lWhen I opened it the smell was so bad I had to openthe windows and doors but the stench still lingers now about 2 hrs later.One of the cans had opened up and the food was rotting so the whole case smelled like nothing I ever smelled.I will try chewy one more time but if the next order is is not o.k I will just pay the higher price at the pet store.

*I am not blaming Chewy for this* I buy this often for my dog since he loves this brand. However when I looked at it today it was gray meat with black spots of possible mold. As I looked at the reviews I noticed Merrick changed their formula. My cat’s wet food is fine and I’m unsure about other Merrick wet dog foods. Chewy was helpful when I spoke to them, but honestly I hope this is changed :/

I agree with all the reviews re..color and quality of food. everytime I open a can I wonder if it is any good. It is gray and green. I thought it was a high quality dog food.

I have fed multiple dogs this food and they loved it. However, it is now inconsistent quality, no vegetables and a greyish color. No gravy, just smashed food or gel. My dogs refuse to eat it. I called Merrick who stated they had a formula change in July 2020. Comparison of old and new cans confirm this. Threw the cans out and switched to another brand.

I purchased this canned food for the first time for my dog and couldn’t be more disappointed in the quality. None of the cans have veggies and the meat is gray with black and gray chunks of what looks like mold to me. I tried opening 2 cans of each flavor and they were equally disgusting. I would never feed this to my dog and now I have 24 cans of this garbage I have wasted my money on and have to dispose of.

What has happened to the chicken in Merricks canned food. It used to be yellow and now is ugly gray. My dog won’t eat it. Cannot recommend.

I started buying this food a couple of years ago and it was wonderful. The chicken had the texture of real chicken, it had a nice, natural color, and it didn't have an overpowering odor. I don't know what they did this spring/summer, but the quality is now AWFUL. The "chicken" is a gray cube with strange black spots, the gravy is a gray-green color... The picture I'm attaching shows one fairly normal can on the left (though the quality had already started to go downhill at that point) and the dark, disgusting mystery food on the right. We thought maybe it was just a bad lot but we got another shipment with a different (newer) lot number and it was just as bad.

We thought maybe it was just a bad lot but we got another shipment with a different (newer) lot number and it was just as bad. If I wanted to feed my babies gray mystery meat, I wouldn't pay this much for a dang case of dog food. Merrick, do better - your customers are certainly paying for better. … more

I'm not typically one to write negative reviews, but I think people should be informed. Upon opening the canned food, I noticed it was almost blue gray in color. I ended up opening a second can just to compare, and it was exactly the same. No weird smells, but I will definitely not be testing this out on my dogs. Such a bummer.

This is like Grandma's cooking for my pups. I've tried so many brands and my pups keep coming back to this one. There are a number of different dinner options to choose from. Merrick is the best.
