Questions
Food was a larger size then food I bought yesterday did they change size worried dog will swallow hole and not chewy it
- food seemed to be same size as the previous bags we bought we wet the food to make sure if they do swallow the kibble whole, it will be moist and not get stuck in the troat
Helpful?
Did they change the size of the food I bought a bag month ago and food was a larger size then one I got month ago.
- Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We apologize this is not the quality you were expecting. You can see the kibble change from batch to batch because we do use all natural ingredients. However; we would like to obtain more information from you. Please contact our pet parent specialist at 1-800-664-7387 or email the team at Customerservice@merrickpetcare.com

Is the Merrick Backcountry Grain Free Raw Infused Pacific Catch Dry Dog Food small enough bites and suitable for a Shih Tzu? I need chicken free as we have discovered he has an allergy to chicken.
- Hi My dog love this food you can put the kibbles in a ziplock baggie and break them into smaller pieces. But i have a Miniature Dachshund and i moisten the food with Bone Broth and she loves it. Also the freeze dried pieces they go crazy for. My Weimaraner loves it too and her coat is stunning and keeps her weight perfect. Hope this helps you Best food ever but I also give them sweet potatoes, apple, carrots, kale, blueberries,and cooked liver too
Helpful?
Does anyone know the calorie content per cup or oz for this?
- The bag says 3.618 kcal/kg or 362 kcal/cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as-fed basis.
Helpful?
Would this work with a small cooling fan?
- Thank you for your question. According to the manufacturer, this would not work in the situation you have outlines. It will only work for heater control.
Helpful?
Multiple heaters
- Thank you for your question. The Azoo Micro Temp Controller is intended to run one heater.
Helpful?
Works with In-line heater?
- Thank you for your question. This unit should work with any heater up to 800 watts, including a 300 watt Hydor inline heater.
Helpful?
Are there any heater brands or specific heaters that this controller is NOT compatible with?
- Thank you for your question. Controller is compatible with all submersible heaters up to 800W.
Helpful?
Is this food suitable for open/free feeding? Also does the Pacific variety smell bad?
- I do not personally think it has a smell at all. I hate stinky dog food but this one is great. We got this product.for free but my dogs LOVE it! Hope to get more later!!
Helpful?
Why isn't it turning on the heaters
- Do what I did and scrap the thing. Temperature is too important to your fish to rely on a questionable product. Buy a quality heater (F&S sells several) that will hold the temperature where it is set at.

I am getting an 8 week Cocker Spaniel. I am not new to Cocker Spaniel, just puppy versions. I want to try a new food for her, and need suggestions. I did research & came across these dry foods: Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Merrick Limited Ingredient Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Taste of Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free Smoked Salmon, Taste of Wild Appalachian Valley Small Bree’s Grain after Roasted Venison. Are any of those good, if so which one? Want to stay chicken free.
I am considering transitioning my puppy from hills science to merrick grain free dry dog food. Is merrick a good brand? What are the benefits of grain free dry dog food? What are the differences in feeding a dog salmon Vs chicken vs lamb vs duck?
I read that grain free foods are leading to heart disease. We feed our dog Merrick Grain Free. What to do?
This is Kyro, my 1st dog I've had for 7 months. In 7 months he went from 75lbs to 85. Was feeding 2 cups twice daily of "Diamond All Natural Beef Meal & Rice" with piece of Roast Beef with a teaspoon of some kind of gravy & 1 Milkbone, 1 bully stick, 2 Grain fee treats daily. I cut back to 1 cup with Roast beef twice daily. I don't want to starve him but I want to keep his defined stomach. He won't eat unless the Roast beef & gravy is in his food. Bag of food says 4 cups daily. Any suggestions?
What the best dry dog for food match my dog
What dog food would be good for my dog? I'm scared bc they have come out with lists now that a lot of the grain free dog foods aren't good and I don't want my dog getting sick. I've been feeding my dog rachel ray and I'm worried bc that's on the list as bad. My dog is a alaskan malamute. She's 85 pounds. I just want her to be healthy and not worry about her getting sick bc of her food. Thank you
I have a German Shepherd and she is one month old. I am really unsure what dry food to get her. What is better: Purina Pro focus, Blue Wilderness, American journey, or taste of the wild? Should I get grain-free and large breed? If any other ones are suggested let me know.
I am thinking about switching my dogs food to royal Cain. I have all 3 of my dogs on Merricks right now. One of my dogs is over weight
Hey guys, I’m slowly transitioning my dogs over to adult food but they are still getting their puppy food. Mia always has some kind of allergy so I was looking into getting BLUE Basics® Grain-Free Salmon & Potato Recipe For Adult Dogs but it doesn’t have any chicken or poultry by-product meals, corn, wheat, soy, dairy or eggs. Is that even healthy missing all of those food groups? Right now my dogs are on Blue buffalo freedom grain free.
Are the bags of raw food better for my German Shepherd or was wet food mixed with kibble diet better? He’s on Ultras puppy kibble and nutro wet ( photographed ) currently
Hi! I am considering changing Addy’s food over to Taste of the Wild High Prairee puppy food. It’s grain free and has lean proteins and a 28% protein content. Currently she is on Blue Buffalo large breed puppy food that has whole grains. She is experience soft stool in the evening. I believe this may be from her food? Blue Buffalo is chicken based, and she does drink lots of water. She just had a vet appt, no presence of parasites in her stool. Any recommendations?
Due to the recent FDA research on grain free food I am looking into switching my Shih Tzu/Maltese mix from Whole Earth farms grain free to something different. What would you recommend is a good, healthy brand for a small breed dog who is 4 and does not have any health issues. Thank you
