My puppy loves her food.
By Momof3 on Sep 28, 2019
I originally had my puppy on another brand but she wasn’t gaining weight eventhough she is fed 3 times a day. I switched to Merrick and she has been able to gain weight and is on the right track with her growth.

Great for puppies
By Zoey on Aug 16, 2019
My rescue puppy was having loose stool, we bought this for her, she has had solid stool going forward. (we don't feed her people food at all) I can't say this will be the case for everyone's furry friend, but all I can speak on is our personal experience. Buying again!

My puppy will not eat this dog food.
By carolyn on Jul 29, 2019
My 9 month old dog would rather starve then eat this food. Tried adding warm water to make a gravy. Even added some of my other dog's food to the bowl in order to get him to try it. No luck. Recently learned that "grain free" is now bad for a dog's heart. Switching over to Royal Canine as per my vet's suggestion.

Love this food!
By Christina on Jul 13, 2019
I breed dogs, and this is a food I love and trust. As a breeder, it's very important to feed a good food to growing puppies. This food is very palatable, small in kibble size, and great with easy digestion. I will continue to use this food.

Tasty pup food
By Lars on Jul 1, 2019
My breeder started with another food but the pup was picky. We switched because a friend had the same situation and had success with this food. Bought it and transition over in a few days and now the pup is eating this without being picky at all.

By Cece on Jul 20, 2019

Color seems off
By PomMom on May 28, 2019
I ordered the chicken and sweet potato before but a small bag and the food color was lighter. When I opened this big bag of “chicken and sweet potato” the food color was similar to their beef one. Not only was the color off but also their were kibbles stuck together in a ball. The bag clearly states chicken and sweet potato and it wasn’t expired. Not sure what happened.
