Great food
By KLT3505 on Feb 10, 2019
Started feeding exclusively to my Malinois that would throw up food after every meal and what did stay gave horrible gas. Since she has been on it no more vomit after eating and no more gas. Switched the two smaller dogs to it as well and it has almost eliminated all gas from them as well. Everyone gobbles it down so it is very palatable.

doesn’t agree with Scooter’s stomach
By JennyMurray on Jan 6, 2019
Objectively this is probably a fine food but it really doesn’t agree with my dog, his stool was very soft and smelly even after an adjustment period. We switched him to Stella and chewy raw coated kibble and his poop firmed right up. Just be cautious, this food isn’t right for everybody.

Excellent!!
By Maryann on Jan 3, 2019
I have 2 rotties that love this product! Even though they put a bit more beef it did not effect my dogs at all. They still eat it like it is gold! Chewy is wonderful! Dont know what I would do without Chewy!!

Low carbs, high protein good for dog with tumor
By SummersMum on Sep 1, 2018
I wanted a low carb, high protein , meat based diet for my Beautiful Boxer , Summer, because she was diagnosed with a tumor on her spleen June 7. This food is very low carbs. Tumors feed on carbs. I also give her Essiac tea daily, Turkey tail mushroom, and Ancestral Grass Fed Supplements Liver and Spleen. She is doing well today! Thank you Merrick for this low carb food. My girl loves it and I don't need to worry about it being unhealthy for her because you do the work putting all the necessary ingredients in it for good health.

Buffalo and CHICKEN!
By Michael on Aug 14, 2018
Read the fine print. The web description says "Merrick Grain-Free Real Buffalo + Sweet Potato" ... "grain-free recipe that features real, deboned buffalo, along with sweet potatoes, peas, apples, blueberries and more." Okay. Then after delivery when I exam the packaging, it lists chicken meal as one of first 5 ingredients. I did not want chicken because my dogs do not do well with it. I guess shame on me for being careless and spending $69 (w/ tax) on a product that is not what I wanted.

Great dog appeal!
By Fabio on Aug 21, 2018
My dog is very picky but he loves this new food. He previously got bored with his Merrick Texas Beef but he absolutely loves the buffalo. It costs more but it is really worth it!

Beautiful coat
By Leslie on Jun 25, 2018
My 1 year Labrador has been on Merrick foods for 7 months and his fur is shiny and soft. This is the first adult food he has had and he eats it with no problems. Great product.

Great Dog Food
By rutrowe on Apr 28, 2018
This is a different flavor than we normally purchase but the same healthy ingredients with none of all the crazy chemicals. We have a hard time finding this in our local stores (only one carries it) so Chewy is our go to place because it is cheaper, easier, and faster. This order took a couple of days longer but with the storms out west it was very understandable that the carrier couldn't safely get it here as quickly as in the past.
