Merrick small bites puppy food
Phoebe purely hates this. And I made the mistake of sort of mixing it with her former dry food to transition. She picks each morsel out and drops it on the floor. I keep a hand vacuum handy to clean it up. This one's an oops. (She is not a picky eater by any means. I just thought I was getting something "better for her")
Started it out okay
This is what the breeder fed my puppy so I continued feeding him this for three more months. My pup liked it at first but eventually started skipping meals and I had to hand feed him the kibble even if I mixed it with toppers. After doing some research I switched him to a kibble that does not use chicken meal and is more grain inclusive and not only does he empty out every bowl he is also scratching and liking himself less.
Good puppy food
This is my first time trying this brand for my one year old mini schnauzer. These kibbles are smaller in size compared to others I've tried so they would be easier on digestion. The main ingredients are chicken and sweet potato. I like that they also include omega 3-6, glucosamine, and chondroitin which would be good for joints, skin, and coat. My puppy enjoy this and hasn't had any stomach issues.
Good food for a good dog
I am a first time dog owner, and so far this food is working wonderful. It was recommended by my vet
Puppy Approved
My Puppy Hazel loved this dog food. She was extremely excited when she smelled the bag open. We let her taste one pebble before giving her a full serving and she went crazy looking for more. I feel that this is perfect for a puppy and I don’t think there needs to be any improvements. The packaging is great and the small pebbles make it easy for my pup to nibble her food without having to break it down into smaller pieces like she does with the other brand we have purchased. I recommend this to any puppy owner!
Puppy Love
My puppy loved this! We mixed it with her food we have already been giving her, and she dug in and tried to eat around it to get to this one! We'll definitely be purchasing this in the future! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
Great for puppers
My puppy did so well transitioning to this kibble. The size and flavor of the kibble seemed perfect for her. She kept a healthy coat and skin. It’s a product I’d recommend to others and I’m happy I was able to try it free for my opinion. It’s something I’ll continue to use. I love that it’s a grain free product.
Archie Approved
As soon as I received this puppy food, I mixed it into Archie’s current food to transition slowly. He smelled it as soon as i cut it open and was jumping with anticipation. Once i served it to him, he was picking it out from his old food. Safe to say he loves the taste! I did not observe any stomach issues with including the new food. We will continue to incorporate it into his diet!
Not for Us
My cocker spaniel pup was not a huge fan. It took a little getting used to, and definitely will not become a staple for us. I personally prefer better priced dog food also. She may be small but she’s an eater. Seems like a good brand and didn’t seem to cause any digestions issues for my fur baby, but she was not a fan.
Great pup food!
My puppy devoured this dog food! Unlike other dog food brands we’ve used this one has great ingredients such as real chicken, sweet potatoes, salmon meal, and dried egg as well as being grain free! My pups coat looks shiny, she’s acting more energetic! I like that this supports joint health, and digestion as well. Overall, great puppy food for my growing girl!
