I highly recommend
By Groot on Oct 24, 2019
I have been using Chewy for home delivery since last year. My dog developed a undiagnosed stomach issue. I worried it may have been the food. I explained the issue to a customer service representative at Chewy. Chewy stopped the food delivery with no issues and refunded my money for the last delivery. BTW... The stomach issue was not related to the food. We have now resumed our Chewy deliveries. I am thankful for the email reminders, ease of adjusting the delivery schedule, and convenience of not lugging a big bag from the store. Excellent business. I hope it flourishes.

High Quality Food
By Bernergirl on Oct 4, 2019
My Bernese strained his hock recently and that warranted a vet visit. The vet wants to see him lose a little weight in hopes that this helps with future strains. He was already eating Merrick brand kibble and raw so this was a no brainer for me to try first. He loves the food and we already saw some weight loss in the 2 weeks he’s been on it. I highly recommend Merrick brand foods!

Great Food!
By Reen on Sep 11, 2019
My poor dog was gaining weight and not eating practically anything. A 55 lb. dog and we had her down to 3/4 cup of food (doctor said so). He said add some cherrios. Well that didn't agree with her, besides I didn't like that Cherrios and other cereals had round up poisons in it. So I switched from regular Merrick to the Healthy Weight. Now she eats a little more than a cup and she has lost 5 lbs. She is now staying the same, but at first she lost the weight and now she is maintaining it. I like that Merrick is a u.s. company.

Dogs love it!
By KateMiddleton on Nov 6, 2019
I’ve tried several healthy weight food for my dogs...a Scottie and a golden retriever...and they would turn up their noses. They gobble this stuff right down!

good but horrible gas
By MiaD on Sep 25, 2019
Dog loves this food but man does it give her horrible smelling gas like never before. She also seems to be going #2 lot more frequently. Going to keep her on this food till the bag is done and decide then to keep her on this or not.

So far....so good
By Dolleydood on Aug 7, 2019
Since I’m not the one eating these morsels, my take on this chow might not cover all the details. We are still in the transitioning process from another chow but, what I noticed is, it smells good and both dogs seem eager to eat it. My only negative would be that the kibbles are on the smaller side, which means the larger dog actually inhales many without chewing. He’s a glutton so he’s always hungry and food ready. A larger kibble would be helpful.

Great for weight control
By Janis on Nov 20, 2019
Our boys needed to lose weight. Merrick was recommended to us. So far it is working. Chewys has the best price.

He Eats Anything
By Kathy1952 on Sep 25, 2019
Hard to say anything against Merrick's Weight Control food because our Australian Shepherd loves everything! We are very happy he likes his new diet food.

My Pooch's Skin Problems are in the Past!
By Suzy on Jul 31, 2019
My 12yo lab mix has struggled with skin problems for years...including a $118 monthly prescription. I changed to Merrick for other reasons but incredibly his skin problems resolved within a month of changing to this food and have remained resolved for months!
