Can’t eat poultry
By Jenny on Nov 22, 2018
Jenny had some digestive sensitivity when we rescued her. Over some time we found beef was best for her she only eats Merrick beef wet and dry foods. She loves the Itsy Bitsy Beef Stew mixed with the Beef and Ancient Grains. It agrees with her in every way!

Lil plates
By SHAR on Sep 5, 2018
My 2 Maltese are very finicky eaters and they were not very excited about this food. Just smelled it and walked away. Chewy was great fast delivery and I will continue to use them for other food selections.

Are you kidding me??
By Morkielove on Jan 8, 2018
I purchased 4 different flavors of these Lil’ Plates for my dog. No joke, they all smell like someone retched in the small dish it comes in and sealed it up. I gag every time I open the container. My dog eats it, if I add rice to it. I won’t be purchasing these again. But, recv’d great customer service with Chewy.

Like, not loved
By Kassiebree on Dec 4, 2017 Top 50 Contributor
My little doggies did eat this Merrick Beef Stew, but I would not say it was a favorite. They liked it, not loved it. I'm glad there are so many flavors to choose from, so we can find the one they really enjoy.

Abby loves this
By Kristi on Nov 30, 2017
I have 4 dogs. I buy the Merrick Grain Free big bag for the dogs but Abby is going on 15 so I have added this to the hard food to make it easier for her and she loves it.

He loves but I don't
By Vito on Dec 12, 2017
My Yorkie really loves this food but I'm not enjoying the smell of him after he eats the Beef Stew. I'm going to try a few of the others.
