    Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Before Grain Canned Dog Food:

    Great that this product isn't so dry like other canned foods. Many people are feeding their dogs very high protein dry foods which their kidneys are not equipped to process. The wetter the food the better!! There has been no research into long term effects of high protein dry kibble vs lower protein food. Not suitable for all breeds!!

    My dogs love this food. Plenty of meat, it's just blended instead of left in chunks! High water content just like they would be getting if eating raw.

    And yes I have recommended the product to friends!

    Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Before Grain Canned Dog Food:

    Good value in the sense of investing in my puppies' health (2 Akitas), and in the sense that when I mix with their kibble (also Merrick), I feed them less because they get more nutrition. And I also tried it because one was gaining weight as she got older and was less active. It worked - her weight stabilized. I don't like the messy factor, but the refridgeration does help. Now I just wish we could buy all the varieties from Only Pet, not just a couple of them - hint! ;)

      Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Before Grain Canned Dog Food:

      After a round of diabetes with a family pet, I launched a several month personal research into pet food.I was shocked at what I found. Not only on what some pet foods put into their food (grains are fillers, not native to our animals diets and not safe leads to diabetes...)but also where this meat can come from. A simple internet search will reveal some shocking things about some companies foods. This is not the case will a few good companies out there. This is one of the products that I will only use. How much better can it be than just real meat & water?
      To those that are complaining about the consistency: your pet needs as much water as possible. Water is necessary for your pets, often times they need more than they drink, themselves. Think about it, if your animal could eat as close to their natural diet as possible, the animal they would dine on would be highly water based, right? Would you rather be fooled by a "full" can filled with grains & fillers which can be harmful to your pet?
      By the way my cat was on human grade insulin, I switched her food & not only is she healthier & happier, but she has surpassed the vets 3 month death sentence by a year now......

      Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Before Grain Canned Dog Food:

      I agree with the other reviews that the food does seem very watery but my dog loves it and licks his bowl clean. I add about half a can or so to his dehydrated food for added protein. When you refrigerate the leftovers it becomes more solid. His favorite flavors are Buffalo and Turkey!

      Comments about Merrick Pet Care Merrick Before Grain Canned Dog Food:

      I love the fact that it is a single ingredient - no additives, but... it is overly watery. The dogs don't seem to mind the added liquid - it soaks into the kibble, but I'd like to see a bit more meat in the can. We tried the variety pack and the dogs liked all the flavors.

        I was very disappointed with this product. 2 cans were nothing but a gravy like consistency with no meat and the others did not have as much meat as I thought they were going to have in them...mostly water. The dogs liked it, but I didn't feel it was a good value for my money.

        The only 100% meat canned food I've seen on the market. Too expensive compared to pet stores once you factor in the shipping. Wish I knew the protein sources where organic and what parts of the animals where used to make the food. Awesome that are no grains or any fillers.
