Questions & Answers

13 Customer Questions


What size is the kibble


What is the protein context?

Answer by ChewyMar 03, 2023
This formula contains a minimum of 23% of Crude Protein.

What ingredients produce the glucosamine and chondroitin in this food?

Answer by ChewyDec 14, 2022
Merrick recipes feature top levels of glucosamine and chondroitin to support a pet's healthy bones and joints. Although glucosamine and chondroitin are not recognized as essential nutrients by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profiles, Merrick does include them in the Guaranteed Analysis for each food recipe. Glucosamine is a molecule synthesized from sugars and amino acids. It is a component of joint and intestinal tissue and is involved in the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints.

Are any of the ingredients from China?

Answer by ChewyDec 03, 2020
This food is made in the USA. Merrick crafts their recipes with the freshest, highest quality ingredients available. Most of Merrick's ingredients come from the USA, however, in certain circumstances some ingredients may be sourced from China due to availability. Each and every ingredient must meet Merrick's own rigorous quality standards. Ingredients are tested upon arrival, samples are tested throughout production, and all pet food is tested before they release it for sale.

Think the size is more for small and medium sized dogs. I just opened the bag. I like buying smaller bags as I feed him one meal a day along with a little of my breakfast. I do a mix of kibble, protein, veggies, cottage cheese and frozen blueberries. I wouldn’t want to eat just a basic food the rest of my life.

Good for Schnauzers

Low in crude fat. Schnauzers are supposed to have 15 percent or less. This is hard to find when you start looking.

So far, they are eating it. I usually end up throwing food away that has sit all day, but this one is being eaten a little here, a little there. My only concern

So far, they are eating it. I usually end up throwing food away that has sit all day, but this one is being eaten a little here, a little there. My only concern is that it’s was such a big bag and I hope it doesn’t get stale before it’s gone. I do sprinkle a bit of cheese or bacon or even chicken on top just to get their appetite going. Not much or they’ll eat only that. Picky little Shih Tzu’s

Kibble Size

This is a great food and both my big dogs loved it but it is a VERY small kibble. I wish they had a large breed formula that was chicken-free.
