Senior

We are huge fans of Merrick foods. Most recently our vet recommended we transition Foxy to senior food due to her age. Currently, Foxy (shiba inu) is still adjusting

We are huge fans of Merrick foods. Most recently our vet recommended we transition Foxy to senior food due to her age. Currently, Foxy (shiba inu) is still adjusting to same. Really would of liked if the food had pieces of meat. I was hoping the kibble would be smaller however, saw its much larger then her previous adult Merrick food. We are remaining hopeful this is simply all part of the transition and our Foxy will soon enjoy the food as she loved previous Merrick adult food with meat pieces.

He eats it!

Blue is fussy but loves this. We need to use a slow feeder for Piper and the smaller kibble helps slow her down even more. We are very happy

Product arrived in horrible condition

While my dog still eats the food, the food looks like either the bag had been dropped several times and was broken up or the quality control at the plant has failed

While my dog still eats the food, the food looks like either the bag had been dropped several times and was broken up or the quality control at the plant has failed. Normal small bits were busted into tiny bits. While I know a certain percentage of "fines" is allowable this seems to be way above the norm. While this bag will last a while, if my next bag is the same I will be finding a different brand.

My pug does NOT like this

The brand of food I was getting my pug is no longer sold so I had to find a different brand to get him. He hates this brand. Sometimes he will eat it if we add dog

The brand of food I was getting my pug is no longer sold so I had to find a different brand to get him. He hates this brand. Sometimes he will eat it if we add dog safe peanut butter. But there are about 4 out of 7 days in the week where he will refuse to eat it until right before he goes to bed. Chewy was great when I reached out to them about it.

Quality issue after years of use

Our 10 year old boxer and pitt mix Roxie has been eating Merrick brand food almost her entire life. No complaints until recently. The last few shipments we have

Our 10 year old boxer and pitt mix Roxie has been eating Merrick brand food almost her entire life. No complaints until recently. The last few shipments we have received have been all crushed up like crumbs. About 80 percent of the bag was like this and now we are uncertain if we’ll keep ordering. Especially considering how much we pay for it. we expect more.

Senior dog food

I ordered this by accident. My girls are 2 and 3 and they aren't crazy about it. Probably great for senior dogs.
