The best dog ever deserves love, toys, treats, and delicious and nutritious dog food. When offered the chance to review some of Merrick's dog food, there was no way I could say no! Choosing one of Merrick's natural dog food recipes was tough. Did you know that they have 125 dog food, cat food, and pet treat recipes? Yep, something for everyone.
We decided to go with the Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon + Sweet Potato Recipe. This is a dry dog food recipe and you can see the first 5 ingredients plainly on the bag: Deboned Salmon, Salmon Meal, Sweet Potato, Peas, and Potatoes. Real meat and vegetables. This particular food has limited ingredients and is grain-free. Shiner loves her new grain free dog food! And I love how good the ingredients are for her.
Shiner also got to try some of Merrick's canned natural dog food. We got the Merrick Chunky Carver's Delight Dinner which is also a grain free dog food recipe. Shiner has never tried Merrick's canned food before, and I was pleasantly surprised when I emptied a can into her food bowl. As you can see, there are big chunks of turkey meat, potatoes, and whole carrots. Of course, she really loves this canned grain free dog food!
All of Merrick's pet food recipes are locally sourced with farm fresh ingredients. None of their products contain ingredients from China. And the food is made in Merrick's own 5-star kitchen and manufacturing facilities that uphold strict guidelines that are well defined by the FDA.
Only the best natural dog food for the best dog ever, right? Shiner definitely agrees with this theory. Did you know that dogs thrive when fed quality proteins and healthy fats? You can find these in Merrick's natural dog food recipes. Each Merrick pet food product is formulated to provide your pet with the best, most nutritious food they can get.
I enjoyed having a fancy Merrick doggy lunch with Shiner out by the garden. Don't worry, I didn't make the best dog ever wait too long for her delicious turkey dinner. She would say otherwise though.

DELISH! Salmon is another flavor Sugar wants to try. Shiner you are the #bestdogever and your mom is the best #petparent. Golden Woofs
ReplyDeleteYou should Sugar, it's very tasty, or so I am led to believe ;)
DeleteMerrick does make some yummy food and someone sure will be happy!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss Ann....great review of the Merrick food! I am so glad Shiner got to try the chunky can dinners...they are my favorite "treat meal"! Big chunks of meat and veggies, just like food people would eat. Shiner is the #bestdogever and you are the BEST pet parent for taking such good care of her!
ReplyDeleteHave a terrierific weekend!

I wasn't expecting the canned food so I was very excited that we got some to try too.
DeleteThe Classic Real Chicken with Brown Rice & Green Pea sounds delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteMy dog, Josie, would love any flavor since she eats anything, but since she's going on 14 (!) this year, the Classic Senior Real Chicken will do her well.
ReplyDeleteI think my dog would like the Classic Real Beef with Whole Barley & Carrot
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so cute! You are really talented. And of course, I would love to try this food for Ace. I can't believe the food only has five ingredients! Impressive! Thanks for the opportunity. If we won, Ace would like to try the real duck & sweet potato.
ReplyDeleteThanks and good luck!
DeleteBoomer and Dottie would absolutely love this... there would be so much drool!
ReplyDeleteLunch with your dog....I love it, Ann! It was difficult to choose a food, wasn't it, there was so much selection! We didn't get to try the canned food yet, but I just love how it looks like a real home cooked meal! I know the dogs are going to love it as much as Shiner did.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your photos too!
Thanks! It was hard to pick a food with such a big selection... I know your dogs will love the canned food. I don't think I've ever really seen canned food like it before.
DeleteClassic Real Lamb with Brown Rice & Apple has the highest reviews. My dogs would love any product from Merrick but I would like this one the best.

ReplyDeleteBallpark Bonanza looks fun, as well as the new limited edition flavors for summer!
ReplyDeletePawsome giveaway!!! We really enjoy Merrick's canned cat food! ...and contrary to popular belief we DO have doggy friends, so we're going to enter for them!
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you kitties!
DeletePawsome giveaway! Good luck to all those who enter :) I keep debating trying this food for my pups. Looks wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to add. They would love to try the Duck & Sweet Potato :)
DeleteMerrick makes some really great food. Look at Shiner go! :)
ReplyDeleteHe would probably love the duck and sweet potato blend.
ReplyDeleteThat even looks tasty to me ;) Rachel
ReplyDeleteUhmm Ann its a MONTH's worth of food not a year. I just checked the group information to be sure. Unless this is a different giveaway? Sandra
ReplyDeletePhew double checked and it's a year's worth for the reviewers. I think the pet parent ad campaign giveaway is different. Rafflecopter says a year though! Thank you for keeping an eye out for me though, I appreciate it.
DeleteClassic Chicken with rice & green peas for small breed & toy dogs.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everybody!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Ann!
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
What a cute idea, lunch with your dog. I got to have some meals with Mom at BlogPaws, but she told me I made things difficult. Your lunch looks much better!
ReplyDeleteWell I don't know but the Merrick lunch at BlogPaws did look pretty pawsome!
DeleteMy bullies would love the grain free salmon and lamb!
ReplyDeleteThat food does look yummy, good luck everyone.
ReplyDeleteSheba.
A meal fit for a princess! Looks delicious.... The Boys would probably love it! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYum! Salmon!
ReplyDeleteNeed we say more?
Noodle
That sure sounds and looks like great food. Our dog would probably love that stuff. Hope all of you have a wonderful week end.
ReplyDeleteI'm still practicing on my woofs...when I improve, I'm in :D Good luck to all :) Pawkisses for the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMy dog Jax likes the Merrick canned food Winaling, it's grain free and has whole chicken wings.
ReplyDeleteMy 6 love the chicken and sweet potato! What a great prize! And a great review..
ReplyDeleteMy dogs have tried the Chicken and sweet potato and love it.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs would like the Classic Real Beef with Whole Barley & Carrot dry food.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic giveaway! My half-German Shepherd, half-husky (looking like a small shepherd wearing blue contacts!) would be happy trying any of these flavors. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWaffles says that she would love to try their sausages and jerky....all of them.
ReplyDeleteTitan loves Merrick Sarge Bones, Texas Toothpicks and the Lamb wafers but we've never tried the food. That can food looks awesome! I might have to look into these a bit further!
ReplyDeleteBTW, we would love to try anything grain free and low protein and high protein bothers T's tummy.
DeleteI'm sure there is something on the menu for Titan :) They have a big selection! It's really good food!
DeleteAmazing giveaway!!! We have been looking to switch Rio's food as is and this would be more than helpful! I think he'd love ANY of them, but I'm really eyeing the salmon ;). Thanks for the opportunity. Paws and fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteI think my dog would like the Classic Adult Toy & Small Breed Real Chicken with Brown Rice & Green Pea.
ReplyDeleteShiner, I agree with you seafood is the best. I have seafood kibble too and I bet that's the reason that I lost nearly 5 lbs. Good luck to all pups, to win that tasty food is really a win!
ReplyDeleteI am entering this to help out my parents with their dog, Sully. I think Sully would love the Salmon flavor as well.
ReplyDeleteMerrick is really a great brand, with a great product. Love their food!
ReplyDeleteTyson loves the Grain-Free Buffalo Flavor!
ReplyDeleteMy dog, Grace can only eat grain-free food. Currently, she is eating wellness but would love to try something new. Thanks for the contest
ReplyDeleteKaiya loves every Merrick canned flavor I've tried except Brats and Tots, which she flat-out refused to eat. I'm particularly fond of serving Turducken, because hey, Turducken! (In the interests of full disclosure, I've never served the one with tripe and I never will, because hey, tripe. *g*)
ReplyDeleteI love Merrick's food, my dog is on the duck formula with the canned Carvers Delight as a treat for her breakfast.
ReplyDeleteMy dog Dixie would like to try the Beef+Lamb+Buffalo canned food.
ReplyDeleteClassic real chicken with brown rice but he'd really like any of it! He's a german shepherd with a horses appetite (:
ReplyDeleteOurs would like the classic real lamb.
