Merrick Grain Free Wet Puppy Food Puppy Plate Chicken Recipe, 12.7-oz can, case of 12

I notified Chewy about this serious issue and they refunded my money. Am writing the review because I would hate to see a puppy eat this! Some of the meat chunks are black/purple. My puppy did not eat those bits. There's another review on here with pics. I bought two separate 12-can orders about 6 weeks apart and both batches had the same issue. The food smells bad as well. I had bought this exact brand and style prior and it was fine, normal smell and brown meat. But the last two batches bought in September and again in October are bad, unfit for a dog to eat.

I have been buying Merrick dog food, both wet and dry for 6 years and have never had a problem. Same as other reviews, this last batch has black and purple meat. I keep throwing cans away. Have not sought refund but have been thinking about it as almost through the whole case now. I bought a single can of Adult wet food and had same issue. Seems to be their turkey and chicken meat. It’s really bad.

This used to be the wet food of my puppy's choice and he really enjoys it. However, the most recent batch that I received a week back had black/grey chunks of meat in it and my puppy refuses to eat those meat chunks. I believe that this is not a issue on Chewy but rather a quality issue in Merrick's production as the can I got from my local pet store had the same problem. Would not recommend any pet dog owner to purchase this until the quality issue is resolved.

I got 5 batches with black meat in them but chewy refunded me for them but I finally just changed my dogs food brand because we don’t have any pet stores around us and chewy was our only way to get this food. we used this brand for months and loved it until it came with black chunks of meat.

We’ve been using this food for over two years and our dogs have loved it, unfortunately the last three cases we have gotten the meat chunks have been black in color. Called Chewy immediately and they made it right, but Merrick refuses to respond to phone calls and emails concerning these orders. Not sure what it going on, but I’m afraid to order again until I get a response. The old label cans don’t seem to have a problem- it’s the new label/recipe that is the bad batch.

It smell like human food, pupper would immediately gets so excited when I'm opening the can. The can's opening is not very sharp and I let my pup one lick the can and she loves it and would dig in for a long time.

The cans are dirty, dented, and most importantly - completely rusted out. The rust can not be wiped off, and is therefore concerning for bacterial growth within the can. We will not feed this to our dog.

I actually ordered this food for a local rescue. They requested donations and this food was on their list. A momma dog was abandoned shortly before giving birth to 7 puppies! Momma is less than a year old with many mouths to feed, so this puppy food was perfect! The price was affordable, quality good and, despite the World around us, delivery was as scheduled. Thank you Chewy!

The product is great and our dog loves the food, however many of the cans were dented when they arrived. The delivery company Chewy uses needs to be more careful

I have a picky eater, and it took a while for me to find that Merrick is the brand my seven-month pup likes. Still, he goes through spells where he absolutely refuses to eat anything we set in front of him. This is the perfect solution! The recipe is great- when I opened the first can I was relieved to find full chunks of chicken and entire peas and cubes of carrot. My pup was excited from the second I cracked open the can. Now, when he's having a stubborn day, I just mix a bit of puppy plate in with his dry kibble and he gobbles it all down and then licks the last bits off of his bowl and begs for more! I couldn't be happier with this product- and I don't think my pup could be, either!
