How much weight to a cup of feed? Trying to figure out how much I will need for a month supplying

Answer by DH1010Apr 08, 2025
It's my experience that a 25lb bag can handle 75 cups conservatively. Not sure the actual weight, I'm basing this on my own usage.

This states potato free recipe but lists potato in ingredients? Which is correct ?

Answer by ChewyJul 21, 2018
This food contains no white potatoes. Sweet potatoes are not the same as white potatoes. They come from a different family, are high in fiber/low in fat, and are a healthier, lower carb alternate to white potatoes. Sweet potatoes also contains large amounts of vitamins A,C,E, B5&6, potassium and manganese (manganese – trace mineral needed for growth, development and metabolism).

Are any of the ingredients sourced from China?

Answer by ChewyApr 13, 2020
Merrick sources the world's best ingredients from the best producers. Most of their ingredients come from the USA, however, in certain circumstances some ingredients may come from another country (like lamb from New Zealand) to ensure the highest quality possible. Merrick currently works with one trusted partner in China to source Vitamin B, which is an essential nutrient for dogs and cats. Vitamin supplements account for less than 1% (~.02%) of the total raw ingredients (by weight) in their recipes [and Vitamin B, specifically, is less than .01%] but ensure that every single serving of their food gives your pet the complete nutrition they need. Since 2012, they've worked with the same trusted partner to source Vitamin B. They remain the best option for both the supply Merrick needs and the quality they want for this ingredient. They recently opened operations in China, and remain confident in their ability to produce high-quality Vitamin B for their recipes to ensure they are delivering the nutrition that pets need.

Does this product have taurine in the ingredients?

Answer by ChewyMar 12, 2019
This recipe contains a taurine content of 0.1% minimum. At this time, the manufacturer does not test for guaranteed levels of taurine in their dog food recipes.

Long time merrick sweet potato and beef buyer for my two Aussies. I bought this to change it up and after two weeks of feeding, my dogs have continuously loose and discolored stool, with one having diarrhea daily. I switched them back to the merrick sweet potato and beef kibble and everything went back to normal. Mileage may vary.

The quality doesn't justify the cost

I needed a kibble that would help Paisley's coat, but it did nothing. It is ridiculously expensive, and there are very few pieces of the freeze-dried raw.

I have been feeding my Newfies this food for a very long time. They cant wait for me to place their dishes down for them to begin eating. Their coats are shiny and soft and they never have digestive issues.

Product was fine just not for Dash’s belly

Dash enjoyed it but I think we are working through some food allergies and this didn’t work for him.

So far so good!

With food sensitivities we are always vigilant with what our Freddy eats. We were noticing issues with the Blue Buffalo and are trying a transition to the Merrick

With food sensitivities we are always vigilant with what our Freddy eats. We were noticing issues with the Blue Buffalo and are trying a transition to the Merrick. He enjoys it (he's a lab though and basically enjoys all food) and his digestive issues seem to be improving. Going to buy a second, larger bag to mix in and then complete the switch next time, if all continues to go well.
