My two very picky dogs, a year old Bloodhound and an 8 month old St. Bernard, just love this food. I have bought them every gourmet, natural, holistic food I could find and they usually turn their noses up at it. They both absolutley love this food, especially Grammy's Pot Pie and Smothered Comfort!

My dog really likes having the opportunity to add variety to her diet since she gets different flavors in the lunch box.

they love it

I was actually cooking organic food for my dog- and was concerned she was not getting enough of certain nutrients. When I switched her to Merrick it was such fast and marked improvement in her energy, her coat, and her overall demeanor.
I have to thank Merrick- her favorites are the Senior Medley and Wingalings!

My year-old Corgi puppy can be a little picky at times,(which can drive me crazy). I'd tried a number of foods, with mixed results. Although some of the Merrick foods haven't succeeded (i.e. fish), the majority have been winners! I'm pleased that they are made with quality, natural products, and so I don't mind paying a bit more for them. From what I've read, the better the quality food, the longer the life of the pet. That's good to me! So, if I can have a satisfied, healthy, consistently eating pet, then the price is just a part of the overall picture. Thanks for a great product! :)

I used this product when I could not get my preference, which is Wellness. The last time I used Merrick was when I found a chicken leg bone in the can.

Our 5 pound Yorkie has trouble with the chunky food,...not because of his age (2 yrs) but he is picky with the chunks and I have to mash them to get him to eat this.
The food itself, is good, but my dog just doesn't like the chunks.
from Camarillo, CA on 10/9/2007
When I yell "Grammy's Pot Pie", the dog goes crazy and the cat comes running as well. They both love this food.

I like this idea...after opening it, I realized that this would be great for traveling. And what a great Gift Idea too! A great variety of excellent food.

Again...another winner! What is great is that you can smell goodness from the ingredients. This one you definitely smell the apples! Very appetizing...and she loves apples too!
I believe that when you are paying good money for gourmet foods for your pet...they should look and smell AND TASTE as good as that YOU yourself would eat. Human grade to means just that...you can safely taste it and it should be "good".

[...]Our very ill Golden Retriever and his healthy littermate now are both savoring their meals. Wingaling is a strong favorite, as is Smothered Comfort. We are so thankful that Oscar is now eating again!
from WY on 9/17/2007
The assorted contents are devoured by my companion dogs each and every time, no matter the ingredients.
(The odor of the New Zealand lamb is unpleasant to a vegetarian. I have to steal myself to serve it. Meat does stink and lamb is especially smelly....)
from OKC, OK on 8/31/2007
I HAD HEARD HOW GOOD IT WAS, BUT I'M ALWAYS VERY SKEPTICAL ABOUT DOG FOOD. WHEN I OPENED THE CAN;
IT LOOKED AND SMELLED GREAT. MY DOG WENT ABSOULTLY CRAZY OVER IT. I WILL NEVER BUY ANY THING ELSE. I ALSO LOVE THE VARIETY OF FOOD. I BUY ONE OF EVERY CAN WHEN I ORDER. I'M JUST SO HAPPY I BOUGHT IT.
from Crosby, TX on 8/22/2007
so others wouldn't buy it so it would always be in stock for me! I know I'm bad. But, this is the best dog food I have ever found. My dogs love this stuff! It not only smells good, but looks just as good. It may be a little pricey, but worth every penny
from Jacksonville, FL on 7/30/2007
Other than the small bones in this one which I pick out but probably could be eaten as they are relatively soft, Jimmie nor I have any complaints about the brand. All flavors of Merrick's wet dog food seems to have helped Jimmie, who was plagued with skin irratations, get over them...now his skin is smooth making both Jimmie and mom happier!
from Steamboat Springs, CO on 7/16/2007
Okay, so it's a little expensive. But, when it comes to my dogs and their health and well-being money is no object. Because I love my dogs Merrick is the only dog food I care to feed them. It is obviously produced by people who care about dogs as much as I do. The ingredients are real food and not fillers and waste product. I eat well and thanks to Merrick my dogs eat just as well.
PS: Sure would love to send you a photo of my 5 dogs out on the deck chowing down on Merrick Wingaling.
from Globe, Arizona on 7/6/2007
May cost a little more, but my dog is worth it.
from Houston, Texas on 6/26/2007
Misty has never been a great eater...sometimes you really had to coax her, just not important to her. Cats liked theirs so much I decided to try the dog food, just mix a bit of the canned with her dry. She goes nuts for it, actually waits and howls at me am and pm waiting for her bowl! Love the chunks and that it doesn't smell like 'pet food'. Vet says this is fabulous food...we're hooked!
from Mays Landing, NJ on 6/25/2007
OUr dog is even pickier than the cats. He likes people food and this gives him the choices he wants with food that is good for him. This is the first canned food he has ever eaten that he has never ignored. He doesn't like peas and leaves them on the side.
from allentown, PA on 5/31/2007
Switched from regular dog food to organic and tried the Turkey dinner from Merrick. The dog loved it. And it actually smells good.
from McAllen, Texas on 5/14/2007
my two shih tzu's jack and chloe love this food and that says alot, really how many dogs love dry food? they drape over the bowl to let me know they want more. Only wish the puppy food came in a bigger bag!!
from New York City(Manhattan) on 4/19/2007
I brought Grammy's Pot Pie to see if it had the peas and carrots that it advertised. When I opened the can, my 9 Month old Yorkie came running to see what smelled so good. I gave him a small portion to see if he liked it,he licked the bowl clean. Of course with any new food some dogs will eat it and later bring it back up. That was not the case with my buddy. I will buy this again. I'm also going to try New Zealand Summer and Rocky Mountain Rainbows since my Yorkies loves Salmon and Lamb Jerky.
Thank you for making a dog food with veggies in it that you can see.
Very pleased.

I brought Grammy's Pot Pie just to see if it had the peas and carrots in it as advertised. Well when I opened the can, my 9 month old Yorkie cam running to see what smelled so good. When I gave him a small portion to see if he like it, the bowl was licked clean. That was all I need to see. Of course I waited to see if it would sit right on is stomach. He did not bring it back up so I guess I will try another kind. But I will buy Grammy's Pot Pie again.
Thanks for making a Natural dog food with veggies that you can see.

I have always mixed can food with dry. Then the recall came and I was concerned with what to buy. I was doing research on the internet and ran across this website. I read all of the food and what it had in it. I liked this because of all the different varieties. She loves it, she was licking the sides of her bowl looking for some more. Her head didn't come up until she was finished. I am glad it has juice in it.

Advertisement implied the all ingredients would be seen (carrots, sweet potatoes, garden peas, granny smith apples), but just the meat and liquid were noticeable. Big let down.

Our two Bostons devour this food -- one is quite picky but will always eat Merricks dog food -- We mix a spoonful in with dry. They especially love Grammy's Pot Pie, Turducken, Thanksgiving Day Dinner, Workin Dog Stew, Cowboy Cookout and Wilderness Blend.
Pros: delicious, nutricious, good quality ingredients
Cons: is a bit pricey, is sometimes watery

My dog was really starting to slow down until I changed her food to Merrick.. She enjoys the food and has more energy then ever. I also use their flossies and trail mix which I feel are healthy and she loves them.

This is by far the best canned dog food that my dogs have ever tried, both in nutrition and taste and cost

I've tried several different brands of natural canned foods and, out of four dogs, one would turn up their nose & walk away. Now, all four devour their food. My Yorkie/Jack Russel terrier even picks up her bowl & brings it to me when she wants breakfast or dinner!

Our dog Jordan can't wait for his meal of Chicken Pot Pie....he licks the bowl clean.
We are anxious to try the other meals.

I asked for healthy food for my dog, and I got to say, my 2 yr old yorkie eats it right up. My little one just loves eating it to. I never saw their bowl wiped so clean. I used to have trouble with the oldest with foods until I brought merrick. Their favorite is chicken pot pie.

from Burlington, Vermont on 10/29/2006
My two finicky toy poodles gobble this stuff up, with not a scrap left. The wingaling and grammy's pot pie are their favorites, followed by the buffalo meal. Only negative is inconsistency in amount of liquid in the can. Sometimes seems like more juice than solids.

from Rutherford, NJ on 10/6/2006
Smells really really good. Dog loves it. Stopped overshedding. Have a heck of a time trying to hide empty cans cause dog sorts them out of recycling trash to finish every little bite. Husband wants Turduckin for dinner! Ha!
