Teary eyes

My Biewer loves this food but it made her eyes constantly tear up even though there is no chicken. Must be a different allergy we aren’t aware of.

We’ve tried many foods, and this one smells particularly good comparatively. My dog must agree because it does not last long in his bowl! We’ve only used it for a week this far, however.

Little bits with some nice bigger bites.

I’ve tried several dry foods, and this one by Farr is the most consistent winner with my dachshunds, who changed their taste like a virus Since I’ve been using this

I’ve tried several dry foods, and this one by Farr is the most consistent winner with my dachshunds, who changed their taste like a virus Since I’ve been using this food, they’ve been pretty happy with it with rotating toppers where prior to that with things like Royal Canin or Blue or Nutro Naturals they really got bored with all of those fast. And then you have to get rid of it overtime and find creative ways for them to eat it. I’ve never had that problem with the Merrick at all.

Looks good

I didn't notice until after I ordered this that it was for small breeds (my baby is 65 lbs) but it's ok. I mixed this with her old food and she seems to like it

My dog is the lucky charms. He only eats the freeze dried meat out of it and then leaves the rest. I think he thinks he’s eating a bowl of Lucky he’s like a little kid that’s why I gave it a four because I wish you’d eat more of it. My daughter buys it all the time her dogs love it. He’ll eat out of her bowls, but he won’t eat out of his own. Don’t quite get it yet.
