MERRICK Classic Small Breed Recipe (1.82kg)

Great dog food. Small size kibble. My little Yorkie loves to nibble away on it. Good quality and ingredients.

Okay so first I just want to say this food is of great quality! You can actually smell the freshness of the food. It does smell fishy so you'll need to place it in a container. Anyway, the main reason o love this food is that it has helped tremendously with my dogs anal gland issues. Before I found this product she had so much trouble with spraying and along with that came the increased anxiety and such. She is tremendously spoiled and so this troubled me greatly. I was at the end of my rope and I had prayed for a solution to this and as I kept studying and reading I actually found this product online. I am a prime member so I thought I should see if Amazon carried theirs product and sure enough they did. I usually don't do long and informative reviews but I hope to help others who have faced this challenge and they can start helping their little fur babies feel better! Also this food helps maintain healthy skin and coat and has omega fatty acids and glucosamine.

My five year old 5 pound Chihuahua has been eating this food her entire life and she enjoys it and I have no complaints with the quality of the food itself. What I have a complaint with is spending $24 on a 4 pound bag of food that is only half full when I open it. I submitted pictures of my brand new bag that I just opened and we are lucky if there are even 2 pounds in it. If you are looking for a good quality dog food, then I give this one 5 stars… I just feel completely cheated by how little they are putting in the bags now and I feel $24 for 2 pounds of dog food is ridiculous.

I searched high and low for a good healthy food for my 10lb chihuahua that was actually nutritious, gentle on the stomach, and not full of fillers and then I found this miracle! One small bag lasts her one month exactly, with 1/2 cup eaten a day. She’s never been a big eater but she is a picky eater. She’s 9 years old, and has healthy teeth (the key is deer antlers and hard food for chihuahuas), and she’s never gained weight on it. I started her on it at about 1.5 years old when she was getting sick eating puppy chow and picking certain pieces out. She loves this food. It is a little on the pricier side but sooo much healthier than the junk you buy at Walmart or other non-pet department stores. I will say that when I first started buying it the bags were super nice because they had ziplock closures at the top to maintain freshness. Now they don’t so I use a bag clip to close it and keep it fresh. It was a nice feature though.

I have been feeding my 11lb standard Yorkie this food since she was about 2 when we rescued her. Coming from a family who re-homed her and didn't care very much about her health and well being. I began searching for a kibble for her that would be both sustaining and have nutritional value. I wanted to make sure i found something without grain, as lots of research began to show that lots of brands of kibble with grain or substitutes were known to gradually cause heart problems in pets over the course of their life. I finally decided on this kibble (also very affordable, woohoo!) and my little Abby cannot wait for breakfast and dinner. I do pair this kibble with supplements and occasional treats and i did really start to see a difference in her figure and coat! Obviously paired with proper exercise. Being in the pet industry, if there is one thing i can pass on, it is that more pet owners need to do their research!! Not all of those fancy, expensive dog brands will do it for ya and sometimes all you need is a proper balanced diet that could even benefit your budget! Every pet is different with individual needs, but my kiddo has been eating this for years and i have seen nothing but good results. Also if you are looking into changing your pets diet, ALWAYS remember to gradually transition them from old food to new. This will ensure they will not get an upset tummy and their body can adjust to the new change!
