Perfect for my puppy!
By Samantha on Mar 27, 2020
My Toy Fox Terrier puppy has been on this food since before we got him. Tried to switch him to something a bit cheaper, but he started starving himself instead! Switched right back to this food, and he can't get enough of it! It's kept him at a good, healthy weight, he's lean and strong, and he's got more energy than I can keep up with. Definitely won't be switching away from this brand any time soon.

Great Puppy Food
By MerrickFood on May 16, 2020
I looked all over comparing puppy food and this is the best. Not cheap but not over priced. My puppy loves it and has had no problems getting adjusted

Good Service
By Nanapat on Apr 8, 2020
Liked availability to purchase large bag. Saved me money. Pkg took longer than normal to get here but that's understandable given the COVID-19 Crisis. Pkg arrived intact and updates were prompt re the delay.

Puppy is gaining weight and growing
By penny on Mar 1, 2020
I’m not sure how great this food is compared to other puppy food, but when I first got my puppy she was so small and my breeder recommended a different brand. After reading such great reviews on chewy I ordered this one. Transitioning wasn’t easy and she was stubborn, but now she likes it and has been steadily growing.

Easy, fast, convenient, amazing!
By Brittany on Feb 26, 2020
Not sure why it took me so long to join Chewy! We ordered our new puppies food and it was there the next day. Its also a little bit cheaper than the stores, which is a bonus!

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.
