I will no longer purchase kibble for my puppies. Now I have to deworm both my dogs. I have never had an issue with this brand but after this no more kibble. I now cook my dogs food and give them high quality vitamins.

My Puppy Loves It

I have been interested in feeding freeze dried food for a while, since I believe most kibble is too processed for our dogs. But I wasn't sure how to get correct

I have been interested in feeding freeze dried food for a while, since I believe most kibble is too processed for our dogs. But I wasn't sure how to get correct nutrition, vitamins and minerals in the diet. When we got a puppy, I found this Merrick puppy food. My adult dog is on Merrick Lamb and Rice adult because she has allergies to processed chicken that most kibble contains. Thank you, Merrick, and Chewy for carrying this kibble.

The company and ingredients

They get everything they need from their food. They love the taste. They are happy tails wagging at dinner time.

I literally never write reviews and I hate being that person to leave one but I needed to for this food. It gave my puppy HORRIBLE liquid diarrhea multiple times. Since I have taken him off this food he is finally starting to have normal bowel movements.
