Merrick Backcountry Grain Free Dry Adult Dog Food, Kibble With Freeze Dried Raw Pieces, Pacific Catch With Salmon, 20.0 lb. Bag

Our tiny teacup poodle had to be put on a grain-free diet due to allergies. After trying more than 10 different brands, and even home cooking, he still refused to eat. His weight dropped from 5 to 4 pounds and he became listless. We were watching him slowly die. Even our vet could not stop this. We visited the pet supply store again, not having much hope. The salesman recommended we try Merrick Backcountry Pacific Catch Recipe, saying he had never had a bad report of a dog refusing to eat it. We were skeptical, but we tried it. Our tiny dog could not eat it fast enough! At this point in time, he has completely recovered, gained back his weight, and is his old happy self. THANKS Merrick for giving us back our friend! We are Merrick fans for life!

My dog is a picky eater. She would like all new food added into her diet but after a few days she suddenly doesn't care for it. She'd refuse to eat to the point she's vomiting for having an empty stomach for so long. This happened with the food before we bought Merrick Backcountry. We decided to try it out because it's rated 5 stars on DFA, grain free, the first ingredient is fresh meat, and the protein level is tolerable for our 12.5 lbs dog. The bag size I wanted of the Great Plains Red Meat was sold out so I decided on the Pacific Catch Recipe and it is a winner! Our dog would lick her bowl clean and would return to her already clean bowl after a minute or 2 just to make sure she got every last piece. I like how the kibble is small so she doesn't have to make much effort to chew. No stomach issues which is great. I've noticed less itching and tear staining.
