The dogs went crazy for the salmon!

I dump my dry food into sealed containers and the dogs came running into the room as soon as l burst open the bag n started pouring it! Sitting and started begging!

I dump my dry food into sealed containers and the dogs came running into the room as soon as l burst open the bag n started pouring it! Sitting and started begging! So l stopped and tossed a few pieces to them, they scrambled as fast as they could to be the one that gets the most! Merrick is a great brand!

Great for dogs with allergies

I have struggled for years trying to find a food to help my bully breed with food and seasonal allergies. it seemed like nothing worked even when we stayed away from known food ingredient allergies. This food was great, skin irritation and swelling went away. No more chewing at paws. This food and Canidae Pure venison goat and lamb are the only two (out of countless brands over the years) that offer limited ingredient recipes that seem to alleviate previous irritation and not cause any unwanted effects. Thank you Merrick for keeping it simple!

Had a flea infestation this summer, and my oldest dog, Bree has been itching like crazy despite the fleas being gone. Nothing seemed to help, but within 2 days the itching has reduced and she's so much more comfortable. I'm hopeful that we've turned the corner and would recommend a change in diet to others.

My girl is prone to allergies. She was not doing amazing on PPP SSS, so I tried this. After 2 weeks of just being on this food, her hair started falling out in patches, and she was 100% itchier than she was on the PPP. So I am throwing out this bag and going back to PPP.
