Divide the total per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every puppy is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information in the chart as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.
Dry and wet food in combination will help increase the level of water in your dog's diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
When switching your dog's diet, we recommend that it be done gradually over a 5-7 day period.

Pups Love It, Wish it Came in Small Bites Though
By BijouMama2011 on Sep 11, 2021
While my Yorkie and Maltese pups like this food better than their previous brand, the kibble pieces are larger than the Merrick Adult Small Bites formulas, making it difficult for such small little mouths to eat easily. Unfortunately, any of the other Merrick puppy formulas are grain free, which I don’t feel I can safely feed my pups. Oh well.

vet recommended
By sarahgump19 on Aug 19, 2021
I started my new rescue puppy on this before her first visit to the vet a week later - I asked the vet to confirm i made the right choice and she said that it is what she feeds her dogs as well - good ingredients and doesn't upset her stomach! I also feed her the Merrick treats as well for training and rewards

did not like this
By Bodeg on Apr 3, 2021
My boston puppy did not like this food at all. I had to put other brands of food on top just for him to take a bite. It also caused soft stool. I removed this kibble from his diet and replaced with just homemade food and his energy level, stool, and skin/coat drastically improved. Wouldn’t recommend this food for the price especially if you are on a budget. I wish i could return the rest of this massive bag. Kibble is also very very tiny. This brand is marketed as one of the bests for your pup but in my opinion its no difference than purina/royal canin. If not worse. Bland kibble

Not successful...
By JMoos on Apr 10, 2021
We chose Merrick to transition our puppy from what the breeder was feeding our dog because We liked the ingredients. The kibble is very small and after a couple weeks it made our dog’s stool very loose and we noticed he wasn’t always finishing his meals either. We returned it and started a new one to transition him on and his stool is much better and he seems to like this one too.

I didn’t like this :(
By Korra on Feb 7, 2021
Hey guys, I’m an Aussie mix and my paw rents got this for me after doing research on puppy food with healthy grains. I appreciate their efforts in feeding me with good stuff but I didn’t like the taste of this at all! It made my tummy hurt and it was difficult for me to go potty. It was pretty awkward bc I didn’t know how to get the message across to my pawrents. Finally my Vet advised my mom to feed me a different brand. She did and now my tummy feels much better! I’ll try merrick one more time when I’m no longer a puppy but for now, this isn’t the brand for me.

KIBBLE TOO SMALL FOR LARGE BREED
By sweetsummertime on Feb 21, 2021
I have an 87 lb 8 month old golden retriever the kibbles are so small it all ends up all on the floor. with such a high price and ridiculously small 12 lb bags its not worth buying. The ingredients seem good but my dog wont eat it unless I put a sweet potato , chicken or egg it and even then he tries to pick it out. If this is supposed to include large breed dogs why are the kibbles so small and the bags so small?

Just Beware
By toycha on Jan 12, 2021
I used this as a transition food. My pup ate it however afterward she started to have problems. My pup started to have loose movements and often. I had to move her back to original food. I have heard good things about the Merrick Puppy food but just gave my puppy issues.

I always trust Merricks
By GemmaBella on Dec 27, 2020
I’ve trusted Merricks for years and my vet recommended a grain inclusive food for my new standard poodle puppy. I was happy to learn Merricks had introduced a grain inclusive food for puppies! She seems to really enjoy the food and is a happy, healthy girl!
