Each blend is made with high-quality protein, whole grains, and farm-fresh fruits and vegetables to provide a natural food formula rich in nutrients that support the overall health and well-being of your dog. Recipes also feature a unique and healthy blend of whole grains—like the ancient grain quinoa—for a boost of fiber for optimal digestibility.
It Starts With Protein
Merrick Classic recipes start with real and wholesome USDA-inspected deboned meat, poultry or fish as the first ingredient. This means that your pet will get more wholesome protein with every meal. Quality protein provides the amino acids necessary for building strong muscles and a healthy metabolism.

Merrick makes food to be fuel, not filler, and their balanced recipes ensure your pets enjoy every second of their dinner.
From Farm to Bowl
Following every protein are fresh fruits and vegetables, like sweet potatoes, blueberries and peas, for a complete and balanced recipe that will give your pup the nutrients he needs to live an active and healthy lifestyle. Only the finest, freshest ingredients are included in these flavorful blends that are harvested from trusted, local ranchers and farmers for quality and sustainability assurance. If unavailable locally, Merrick pursues the best ingredients from around the world.
Benefits Worth Barking Over
Every recipe has high levels of omega-6 and 3 fatty acids that aid in healthy skin and coat, plus leading levels of glucosamine and chondroitin to foster healthy hips and joints. To support and improve healthy digestive function, each recipe includes highly digestible meat proteins. And you won’t find corn, wheat, soy or potatoes in any of Merrick Classic recipes.

No chunks of Anything
By Taylor on May 16, 2019
I was looking for a chunky puppy food for my two large breed pups, since Nutro Chunky Lamb and Rice had been out of stock here on Chewy for a while now. This puppy food had no chunks and was a wet thin mushy mess. Not appealing at all. My pups ate it, they seemed to like it. Of course they aren't picky eaters. I'm the only one disappointed because I didnt get what I thought I was.

GSD pup loves this food!
By MyDogs on May 3, 2019
My almost 6 month old GSD puppy LOVES this food!! I mix half a can with one cup of blue buffalo large breed puppy food three times a day and she hogs it down like she hasn’t eaten in a week! Love the ingredients and the price is great too!

No Tail Wags
By NancieV on Mar 5, 2019 Top 50 Contributor
I chose this food for our new puppy because it's grain free and label makes it looks so good. Unfortunately, the consistency is a mushy mess with very few tiny specs of what might be vegetables. From the first time I fed this my puppy, who is a faithful and not picky eater, turned up his nose completely. He'd prefer to starve than eat this food. Even my 2 older dogs wouldn't eat it. I'm very disappointed and will not be buying this again.

Meh much different than 3.5 oz
By Coll on Feb 16, 2019
I thought this would be the same as the small (3.5 oz) servings since it’s the same company and flavor. Our pup was eating 2 of those a day so we figured it was save us money buying the larger can 12-pack. The canned version is not at all the same- pieces are chunks and color and taste is quite obviously different- so it sits in the bowl. So you get more food in the cans of a 12 pack but our dog won’t eat it.

Not the same as plastic bowls
By Karen on Feb 15, 2019
I bought this item expecting it to be the same product as the small plastic bowl product with the same name. It is more of a pate style food instead of chunky with a liquid gravy. My puppy doesn't like it, but my cat does...so no harm no foul. I had to go back to the store to get the gravy ones the puppy likes.

My puppy loves it!
By Brooklyn on Feb 18, 2019
I was skeptical about this food at first, but not only does my dog love it, I also have to admit that it smells great! My dog is a super picky eater, but he finish the entire 3 oz can each time-- nothing left in his plate.

Favorite food!
By Kohi on Feb 14, 2019
This puppy food smells so good! My pup is so excited for meal time, he is a picky eater and takes an hour to eat but with a tablespoon of this food he eats his meal in a few minutes. You can see the vegetables and chunks of meat, looks good.

My puppy loves it and it is highly rated
By Scottiedog on Mar 12, 2019
I always check ratings on dog food and this one has a good rating. I have a 12 week old puppy and she gets a spoonful of this mixed into her Merrick puppy kibble.

One of the cans is empty!
By Nova on Jan 1, 2019
I purchased 24 cans but I found one of them is absolutely empty! And we can tell that some of them have less food in the can (3 oz). So either Chewy or Merrick should be responsible for this. Be aware if you buy one of those. Food quality is fine though, just don't fool your customers!

Tasty, but....
By Radar on Feb 3, 2019
My picky pup likes this, but my vet recently told me that new research shows that dogs should get some grain in their duet. I am going to to switch away from grain free.
