Meaty pieces make a familiar stew

Signature feature

Real Meaty Pieces

Real meaty pieces in delicious gravy that adds flavor & moisture to your dog’s diet

Merrick says

What it is Visible pieces of meat and vegetables in gravy. Deboned Chicken and Chicken Broth hold the first 2 ingredient positions, with potatoes, carrots and peas farther down.

Our grade

  1. Marketing
  2. Modest
  3. Meaningful

Broth adds water to the meal, raising fluid intake for a dog otherwise eating dry food. Merrick’s chunky stew delivers that benefit, but moisture is standard in canned food.

Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.

Chicken, broth and egg take the first 3 spots, ahead of potatoes and carrots. The vegetable pitch does not drive this recipe.

  • 1 Deboned Chicken
  • 2 Chicken Broth
  • 3 Dried Egg Product
  • 4 Potatoes
  • 5 Carrots
  • 12 Salt

    RECALL HISTORY // MERRICK

    1 FDA Recall On Record

    MAR 27, 2020
    INGREDIENT LEVEL

    ‎Beef dog treat varieties Reflects the manufacturer, not this recipe.

    None in the last three years. Older events stay on the record. See the recall log

    One honest caveat. These figures are what a label will tell us: protein, starch, the top of the ingredient list, flagged additives and the brand’s recall record. They cannot tell you whether your dog will do well on this food. Allergies, gut sensitivity, age and health conditions all matter more than any of it, and none of them are printed on a bag. If your dog is thriving on a food whose figures read lower than this one, that is not a mistake, and we would not switch on our say-so.
