Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions


What is exactly is chicken and turkey meal?

Answer by ChewyAug 12, 2019
Animal meal is made up of chicken that has been ground and cooked, reducing the fat content to create a protein-rich ingredient. Some organs are included in this process to make sure your pet receives all the complete nutrients that are missing from muscle tissue. It’s high in protein and amino acids to help strengthen and maintain your pet’s muscles. It’s also a high-quality source of glucosamine for joint health. Chicken and Turkey meal does not include feathers, heads, feet or entrails.

I feed both my dogs Merrick GFree, Chicken & Sweet potato. I would like to give them variety of flavors Merrick offers w the same Gfree sweet potato ingredients. Do I still need to slowly intro each flavor as when I swapped them from a different brand of food ?

Answer by ChewyOct 31, 2019
It's easy to rotate between each of Merrick flavors without a transition period, unless your pet has certain protein sensitivities.

What types of oils are in your products? I won't use soybean, canola, cottonseed for myself and prefer not to use for my Saint Bernard.

Answer by ChewyMar 12, 2019
This recipe contains sunflower oil and salmon oil.

Great quality food that keeps my dog healthy. I feed less than other equivalent foods and the sweet potato formula promotes a healthy gut. Toby love it.

Good value!

This is a high quality product. My dogs love it! It provides sufficient digestible nutrition to keep my dogs from having dry, flaky skin during the season's change

This is a high quality product. My dogs love it! It provides sufficient digestible nutrition to keep my dogs from having dry, flaky skin during the season's change. Additionally, it is such nutrient dense food that I can feed less volume, which in turn, creates less yard waste.

Merrick's good reputation and my history of feeding it

I've used Merrick's grain free kibbles with sweet potato for years. All of my dogs have done well on it; they love it, are healthy, look great.

Quick delivery!

About 12 hours longer than it takes to go to a pet store for it, and $15.00 less expensive. A no-brainer.

Decided to get this food to see how my dogs would like it.. None of my dogs are known to have allergies. I've feed just about everything, including chicken.. This time I decided to get this bag of food and all of a sudden I have three dogs having allergic reactions (itching, excessive licking, irritation). I switched to our previous brand of food and the allergies stopped. Beware, if you notice itching and other signs of allergies, switch foods. I do not know why mine reacted this way to this food but I will not be feeding it again.
