Happy pups
By Happy on Nov 29, 2021
This food is great for my top poodle & shih tzu pups. They are older & the kibble size is easy for them to eat. When I put this food in their bowl, they quickly ate it and continued to go back & get another bite. The glucosamine helps with their joints & avoids them getting stiff. It has added a nice shine to their coat. I am very pleased!

Great food for tiny dogs
By smartiesmom on Oct 21, 2021
I have a tiny dog that is a very picky eater. I was not sure she would eat this, but to my surprise, she seems to really like it. She is very active and I believe this food will meet her nutritional needs. I do recommend this food for those tiny active dogs.

Two Thumbs Up
By Penny on Aug 18, 2021
I have a 4 yr old Shih Tzu that I rescued 2 yrs ago. She is the sweetest little dog but I have had trouble finding a food that she really likes and will be good for her. I found an article on Pinterest about how and what to feed a Shih Tzu to keep them healthy. My little one scratches all the time and is constantly chewing at her feet. The article suggested this is usually a skin condition. As I read on I found a list of three of the best foods to feed a Shih Tzu with Merrick Small Breed being number 1 (claims to be good for their skin and the itching). Since I’ve had trouble with her liking different brands, I only ordered a 4 lb bag to try. I put a few pieces in my hand and she gobbled them I have a 4 yr old Shih Tzu that I rescued 2 yrs ago.

So, I put a small amount in with her current food in her bowl and she ate the whole bowl full! Wow, that has never happened! I’m going to continue adding some to her current food until I get her totally on Merrick. If I start seeing less scratching and chewing at her feet, I will be buying the bigger bag. So far I’m very impressed with this food and praying it takes care of her problems I’ve been seeing! … more

Happy customer
By DenJ on Aug 15, 2021
My 14 pound schnoodle has been eating Merrick small breed for the past couple of years. We switched him from another brand. He never had any negative reaction or digestive upset during the transition. I chose this product after reading the ingredients list and then seeing it was highly recommended by a dog food review site. Excellent reviews on Chewy also convinced me to give it a try. The kibble is small, the ingredients good and my dog makes a beeline to his bowl when he hears me pouring out his Merrick food.

Odie &Popcicle
By Pickypugs on Jul 21, 2021
I can't believe how much this Merrick small breed has changed my Odies eating habits!!! I am changing from Rachael Rays small breed to Merrick. Odie would just eat a few kibbles and walk away this went on for a hour. I started to mix it with Merrik wingaling and he finally started eating all of his bowl. So needless to say I have started feeding both Merrick again!!! oh I have been feeding my dogs Merrick before they were bought out and there were based in Texas

Looked at all the options. This seems to be one of the only dry foods that all ingredients are made in America. Been feeding for years never any issues. She loves this food

Replacement Food
By Janet on Aug 2, 2021
Chewy did a fantastic job pairing up foods for my doggie who has colitis. Since Royal Canin is so far behind in production Chewy suggested Merrick. My Sweetie loves it and most important it agrees with her digestive system!! Great job Chewy.com! We love you!!

Dogs LOVE this food!
By Bzythnkn on Jun 27, 2021
I was so happy to find this food for my two small breed doggies! I refuse to feed them any food that relies on peas or lentils as their carbohydrates as I am very concerned about the reports that grain free foods are causing heart issues for pups. I do not understand why there are so many grain free formulas still on the market. Thank you, Merrick, for making such a wholesome and healthy dog food! Top notch!!

my dog refused to eat it :(
By Nani on Jul 13, 2021
Chewy has been out of stock on my dog’s favorite food. We decided to try this one till it restocks but he refused to eat it till the point that we were getting worried. Had to buy a different bag for him to eat. :(

Merick dog food
By Tammy on May 15, 2021
I purchased a new dog food because I felt that the kibble was too big for my senior dog. It has very small kibble which was perfect for my aging dog. He really likes it too.
