Quality and service
By HawkeyeFan on Sep 23, 2019
First of all we love Chewy’s because of their great quality service and fair pricing! Also their number one customer service is the best! These are all important attributes that you want in a company period! The quality and top brands are of course important especially when you have 4 dogs like us! Our dogs are our children and we don’t skimp because if you do you will have issues down the road that will cost you and your child/pet dearly in the end so why go there in the first place! Definitely recommend Merrick and Chewy’s!

Puppy looks beautiful
By Kenzie on Aug 21, 2019
I've had my pitbull mix puppy on this food since he was 2 months old and he loves it. His coat looks soft and full and he is now the biggest and most handsome out of his litter at 8 months (his ears aren't clipped btw just the way he puts them lol)

My puppy loves it!
By BelleRoseNala on Sep 10, 2019
My pup loves this food and eats it with no hesitation. She’s growing well and filling out nicely on it. Only downside is the price but it is worth it

Fast service and great product
By Ceashell on Jun 21, 2019
First let me say how much I appreciate Chewy's fast service and the condition of the package. I have previously ordered this food from other sources and it has arrived in terrible shape. Second, my pups love this food. It is about time for them to change to adult formula and I will definitely switch to the adult formula. I really like the quality of the Merrick brand and my pups love the taste.

Puppy approved
By Chaorizard on Jun 24, 2019
Our puppy never really liked the bag of puppy food we got from pet store when we got him. So I bought a small bag of Merrick to give it a try. He likes it much more and I'm very happy with how fast and healthy my puppy has became.

Puppy does well on beef formula
By Barb on Jun 2, 2019
From the time he was 8 weeks old, my puppy had digestive problems the vet could not resolve. A consultant suggested I switch from chicken-based food to beef, and he's done well. He's 10 months old now, and I need to figure out what adult food to switch him to.

A Must Eat
By Garymichael on Jun 21, 2019
Have two Frenchies who absolutely love this food. The kibble is an adequate size for my babies. No signs of allergy bumps on their skin after eating and haven't heard or smelled them flatulating.
