Using the chart on the back of the product, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below 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.
Questions
Food was a larger size then food I bought yesterday did they change size worried dog will swallow hole and not chewy it
- food seemed to be same size as the previous bags we bought we wet the food to make sure if they do swallow the kibble whole, it will be moist and not get stuck in the troat
Helpful?
Did they change the size of the food I bought a bag month ago and food was a larger size then one I got month ago.
- Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We apologize this is not the quality you were expecting. You can see the kibble change from batch to batch because we do use all natural ingredients. However; we would like to obtain more information from you. Please contact our pet parent specialist at 1-800-664-7387 or email the team at Customerservice@merrickpetcare.com

Is the Merrick Backcountry Grain Free Raw Infused Pacific Catch Dry Dog Food small enough bites and suitable for a Shih Tzu? I need chicken free as we have discovered he has an allergy to chicken.
- Hi My dog love this food you can put the kibbles in a ziplock baggie and break them into smaller pieces. But i have a Miniature Dachshund and i moisten the food with Bone Broth and she loves it. Also the freeze dried pieces they go crazy for. My Weimaraner loves it too and her coat is stunning and keeps her weight perfect. Hope this helps you Best food ever but I also give them sweet potatoes, apple, carrots, kale, blueberries,and cooked liver too

Does anyone know the calorie content per cup or oz for this?
- The bag says 3.618 kcal/kg or 362 kcal/cup ME (metabolizable energy) on an as-fed basis.
Helpful?
Would this work with a small cooling fan?
- Thank you for your question. According to the manufacturer, this would not work in the situation you have outlines. It will only work for heater control.
Helpful?
Multiple heaters
- Thank you for your question. The Azoo Micro Temp Controller is intended to run one heater.
Helpful?
Works with In-line heater?
- Thank you for your question. This unit should work with any heater up to 800 watts, including a 300 watt Hydor inline heater.
Helpful?
Are there any heater brands or specific heaters that this controller is NOT compatible with?
- Thank you for your question. Controller is compatible with all submersible heaters up to 800W.
Helpful?
Is this food suitable for open/free feeding? Also does the Pacific variety smell bad?
- I do not personally think it has a smell at all. I hate stinky dog food but this one is great. We got this product.for free but my dogs LOVE it! Hope to get more later!!
Helpful?
Why isn't it turning on the heaters
- Do what I did and scrap the thing. Temperature is too important to your fish to rely on a questionable product. Buy a quality heater (F&S sells several) that will hold the temperature where it is set at.

I am getting an 8 week Cocker Spaniel. I am not new to Cocker Spaniel, just puppy versions. I want to try a new food for her, and need suggestions. I did research & came across these dry foods: Merrick Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Merrick Limited Ingredient Grain Free Real Salmon+Sweet Potato, Taste of Wild Pacific Stream Grain Free Smoked Salmon, Taste of Wild Appalachian Valley Small Bree’s Grain after Roasted Venison. Are any of those good, if so which one? Want to stay chicken free.
I am considering transitioning my puppy from hills science to merrick grain free dry dog food. Is merrick a good brand? What are the benefits of grain free dry dog food? What are the differences in feeding a dog salmon Vs chicken vs lamb vs duck?
We currently feed Rex Merrick brand salmon and sweet potato dry and he has had no problems with it but had read something that Purina had bought Merrick and there is some question about the now quality of the food that they may have changed the ingredients. Do you have any information about the quality decreasing or a reason we should change foods? Or have a brand you recommend as a back up option?

I have recently adopted a dog. He is a mixed breed-shepard. At 6 months he weighed 50 pounds and he is currently going on 8 months old. I’ve been feeding him the Merrick grain free puppy beef and sweet potato all breed food. The kibble is small. He is getting 4 cups a day. He’s still skinny and eats it quickly. is there a more suited food for him? And when should I transition him to adult food?
I read that grain free foods are leading to heart disease. We feed our dog Merrick Grain Free. What to do?
Hi, I'm wondering which is a better pet food for my dog. Either Fromm four star grain free beef frittata veg or a gently cooked grain free food called my perfect pet, beef and lamb blend? (Roxys & Knights) Are both equally as good? Please explain, thanks!
I have a 9 week old male golden retriever, mom is 50lbs, dad is 58lbs and the breeder has him on Purina Puppy, which I want to change him off of as fast as possible.
