I think I have bought almost every brand of small kibble dog food and my dog refused to eat them until Merrick Classic Healthy Grains Small Breed. He liked and ate this right from the start. Since he is a picky eater, I am so glad I found a dog food that he likes.

Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to keep this product from coming. My husband keeps mixing it into Purina One for the other dogs, so there is no sense in paying for a separate product for the poodle if my husband can't be trained to keep the foods separate.

We just came home from a dinner out with friends and we’re backing into our driveway when we noticed something in our backup camera. It was the Chewy box in the middle of our driveway. They could have at least put it on the walkway to our front door! Very disappointed!
