 Merrick Dog Foods Jan 24, 2012
By Dorcas
Merrick 5 star entrees for dogs comes in a variety of sizes (1lb., 5 lb., 15 lb., & 30 lb. bags) & flavors (turducken, puppy plate, senior medley, grammy's pot pie, thanksgiving day, wingaling, buffalo, salmon, & cowboy, etc.).
On average, Merrick costs bet. $1.69-$2.00 lb. Merrick also makes canned entrees which typically cost $1.98 oz. (24/5.5 oz.). It is to be noted that these are online distributer's prices.
Retail prices tend to be somewhat higher. They also make cat food.
Pros:
Most Merrick dry food products do not contain wheat, corn, & rye, etc. or other fillers. Their food does however contain barley & white rice. Merrick touts that their dog food is natural, & it states on the bag that it contains no preservatives.
Their product typically contains natural supplements for vision, breath, joint health, & some biomedical elements.
Cons:
I am not thoroughly convinced that they are truly all natural. On the label they list several questionable ingredients: Thiamine mononitrate, sodium selenite, pyriodoxine hydrochloride, enterococcus faecium, & cobalt proteinate, etc.
Merrick also falls short of the primary ingredient dogs need to maintain health & vitality, & shed reduction--protein. Their products typically contain over 45% whole grains, only 39% premium protein, 7% vitamins & minerals, 2.5% elements, & 6.5% chicken fat.
I tend to err on the side of natural ingredients for my entire household. I like the way Jack Lalanne put it when he stated, "If man made it, don't eat it! Eat what God made!"
So, I'm sticking with God made poultry, fish, brown rice, peas, and carrots at between $0.69- $0.99 lb. for my animals.
It's much cheaper per pound, & I know what's in it. Plus, I have never seen a mother wolf feed her pups kibble--exactly what is kibble really?
For more information about the side effects and safety of these ingredients go to the truth about pet food website to judge for yourself the benefits and hazards to your pet family members.

dog turned up nose with this type of dog food Feb 15, 2011
By Ann-Marie T. Allen
"software & pc addict"
I bought this on all the reviews and different ingredients it brought. Thought my dog would love the different type of dog food than the blue buffalo one which she loved. Boy was I wrong I couldn't get her to eat it at all. She would turn up her nose as soon as I put it in her dish. She hasn't eaten in a week because she didn't like the dogfood i gave her. I will try the cowboy flavor one and see if she likes it. If not, I don't know why people would give it a 5 stars if some dogs don't like it. I am surprised also be cause it had venison..thought for sure she would love it because she would eat some venison when we gave it to her but no. Somebody told me that his dog also refuse to eat this flavor because it had buffalo meat in there and salmon. His dog dislikes salmon...he tried cowboy flavor one and his dog loved it. SO I will try the cowboy one if she also dislikes that then I would just go back to blue buffalo one then..
i gave it a 3 stars because of the ingredients it had that was completely different than other boring dog food brands. Would have given it a 5 star if my dog would eat or like the dog food but she doesn't.

Best Dog Food Available Mar 03, 2008
By Chad
One of the single best dog foods that you can feed your dog. Top of the line premium organic ingredients. It isn't full of cheap corn filler like your typical grocery store brands are. If you love your dog and care about what they're eating, then you won't buy anything less.
