Using the chart on the back of the product, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your puppy per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every puppy is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and wet food in combination will help to increase the level of water in your dog's diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food. Pregnant or nursing females may consume two or three times the recommended amount per day. For adult dogs, we recommend feeding 75 % of the recommended amount for puppies 16-52 weeks of age.

bugs in the food

samsoss

1 year ago
We purchased 2 bags of these, brought them home and both bags had bugs crawling in them. Petco was awesome about taking the bags back and said this was a problem with the food and they have had to send all of the bags back.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bad bag

HML1

1 year ago
My pup loves this food, but I was shocked when I bought the last bag at Petco last week. I always open and pour into airtight container. When I did, there was ONLY the kibble, not ONE piece of the freeze dried chicken. I emailed Merrick, no response. Very Disappointing. Probably going to switch, if that’s that inconsistent, what’s missing that we can’t even see???

No, I do not recommend this product.

Good for picky eaters with sensitive stomachs

Kawwie

This dog food agrees with my dog who is small breed with (Mini cavapoo) sensitive stomach. He is a picky eater, will not eat wet food, he likes this food though. I like it because it does not stink. I gave it 4 stars because 4 lb bag has better raw granules than 10lb bag and that has been consistent observation. I have been using this puppy food for last 6 months.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Small bag versus big bag

Raw Freeze Dried Powder

2 years ago
I bought the four pound bag as a trial sample for my puppy. She loved the raw freeze dried bits. I ordered two 10 pound bags - mistake. The raw freeze dried nuggets were powder and my puppy is begrudgingly eating. Looking for another brand.

No, I do not recommend this product.

More Raw bites for bigger bag

BrooklynBK

There’s never enough raw bites in the bigger bag, or if it is it always smashed. I love this particular food for the raw bites that my dog loves. I literally only had small bags with full raw bites. The bigger bags always have raw bites that’s in powder form from it being smashed

Yes, I recommend this product.

Very different 4 lb versus 10 lb

ellowoo2

3 years ago
My puppy likes this food. We started with a small bag and she loved it so I then bought a 10 lb bag. This larger bag has almost no freeze dried nibs - we shook and stirred the bag again and again thinking they were just hiding at the bottom. They weren’t completely forgotten - we did find one (see picture) after ample stirring/shaking. I assumed this was my fault and I did not buy the same product as the 4 lb bag but my Petco purchase history shows I purchased the same product 2x in the two different sizes. I feel like there is very little quality control and my puppy is disappointed this bag is missing her favorite part of the meal. Back to the drawing board for a picky puppy!

No, I do not recommend this product.
