Using the chart, 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 this information 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. Transitioning: Gradually mix in the new food over a period of 7 - 10 days, increasing the amount of Merrick Healthy Grains Freeze-Dried Raw-Coated Puppy Recipe each day. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets. For your pet s health, see your veterinarian regularly.

Customers say

Customers overwhelmingly praise this puppy food for exceptional taste, with dogs eagerly devouring every bite. Reviewers consistently report visible improvements in coat shine, skin health, and energy levels after switching. Many note the food resolves sensitive stomach issues, describing their puppies as noticeably healthier and more energetic. Strong brand loyalty is evident, with customers repurchasing and recommending to others. A very small number report their puppies were uninterested, though these isolated cases are vastly outweighed by enthusiastic positive feedback across hundreds of reviews.

Sad Puppy Mom

My puppy LOVED the Puppy Real Texas Beef + Sweet Potato! I have recently purchased a new bag because I was getting low. Noticed the new packaging, no big deal. Wrong! My Puppy will NOT eat it!!! It has been a couple days, and he will only eat it if there is something added. He ate it before with nothing added. I had a cup of food left from the old bag, I mixed it in with the new kibble and put it in a toy. My puppy picked out and only ate the old kibble. 😭 Not sure what to get him now. He is a picky eater.

Expensive, but she loves it!

My babygirl (puppy) loves this. Once she sees me going for the bad to pour into her bowl, she becomes extraordinarily agile. And of course, once in the bowl, she devours in probably 30 seconds. Lol! If only it wasn't so expensive to feed your pets the good stuff.

Yes, I recommend this product.

She ate it all up!

Molly chose this from the scent and she has the best taste! She smelled it from afar and actually stood up to sniff it- she is a hound mix and new rescue and she’s been very depressed- she just ate the entire bowl! Normally she only eats broiled or bbqd chicken that I have to cook for her daily- she is very picky! I’m so happy- thank you Merrick!

Yes, I recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Puppies loved it, ate it all up when I would put the bowl down and they know it was eating time when they heard the bag! Gave them a bit of energy and they became very playful!

Questions

1 - 2 of 2 Questions

Is it just for puppies or can my dog use it till he gets older?

  1. It has an ingredient that helps promote brain function. We kept our German Shepherd on it for 18 months to 2 years. This was recommended to us for this breed.



What about taurine? That is my only regret. I’m in natural health so I know how important it is;)

  1. I have no problem with it. My babies seem more energetic since switching and my senior dog has had lung and hip issue her vet was surprised to see how she was functioning. It is essential for cardiovascular function, and development and function of skeletal muscle, the retina, and the central nervous system.
