Merrick Healthy Grains Premium Adult Dry Dog Food, Wholesome And Natural Kibble With Lamb And Brown Rice - 25.0 lb. Bag

I’ve been very happy with this food for my 10-year-old pit. He took to it right away and seems to really enjoy the taste. I also like that the ingredients are wholesome and feel like a healthier option than those of some other brands. Since switching, he’s been eating consistently and seems to be doing well overall. The kibble size is good, and it hasn’t caused any stomach issues. It’s been a great option for an older dog, and I plan to keep using it.

Dogs do need grains in their diets to prevent heart problems per the FDA. My Vet followed up with me to make sure I was including grains in my dogs diet. I told him about using this product and he gave it two thumbs up👍🏼👍🏼! Also, it does not contain any chicken, chicken meal, or chicken by products. My dog is allergic to chicken and as long as Amazon continues to carry this product I will continue to buy it from them. Merrick is a great quality dog food. Updated Review 10/6/2021: This dog food recipe has changed!!! No longer poultry free & has additional proteins too!! Added Chicken Fat & Salmon Meal!! I am furious it is not single protein from Lamb any longer! 🤬 Had been wondering why my dog was having diarrhea again! Merrick sold out to Purina, they have ruined this Brand. 🤬 should have left well enough alone, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!! 🤬

Our dog eats this dog food only. Tried Wag brand and would not touch it.

Switched to Merrick after it was found out that blue buffalo was putting "bad" ingredients in their food. I honestly have never looked back. This food makes my dogs coat so soft and shiny. She has plenty of energy. Added bonus is that all the dog kibbles are the same shape and size, so my dog doesn't pick out some of the pieces while leaving the rest like she did with Blue Buffalo. Though we use an airtight container for her food, since we live in humid south Florida, it is a nice touch that the bag is resealable, unlike so many others.

let him/her eat to their heart's desire!

Switched from Merrick chicken to Merrick lamb. The lamb smelled rancid and was harder and drier than the chicken. I know that lamb is a more recent addition to the world of kibble…so the demand hasn’t yet caught up with that of beef, chicken and fish. Less demand means less turnover means less freshness…and likely less nutrition. Merrick needs to tune up its algorithms so that the lamb is equal in freshness to its cousins.

received one with expiring in 6months. i already opened it so probably won’t buy it again at least from here.

Just threw away a new bag of Merrick dog food. The bag arrived on Friday (ordered on Amazon) and my dog ate from it once and began getting ill. To be honest I didn’t think it was the food right away, but I am now convinced. I fed him from the bag again, and still vomit and diarrhea. Then it dawned on me, the food! This happened another time with a Trader Joe’s brand, that they no longer carry. So I started feeding him brown rice and fish, brown rice and chicken, peas and broccoli. He’s fine now. I have totally lost faith In the dog food industry. Not to mention Amazon, No QC people!!! Your backing a brand by selling it to your customers, why don’t you verify they will sell a product that won’t get dogs sick. I know there are many of you out there that have had the same experience. I am writing this review so no one else has to go through the stress, sleepless nights, clean up...of a sick dog, that was made sick by Merrick DOG FOOD! Amazon did refund the money I paid for the food, and both the company and Amazon offered an apology. I think the problem is systemic, companies need to be held accountable or nothing will change.
