Purina guarantees outstanding quality and taste. If for any reason you're not satisfied, simply let Purina know why. Feel free to mail your original purchase receipt with the price circled, a brief explanation of why you were dissatisfied with our products, the "Best If Used By" date box from the package, along with your name and street address (P.O. Box not accepted) to: Purina, Office of Consumer Affairs, P.O Box 2530, Largo, FL 33779.
Using the chart on the back of the pack, 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
Is there crude ash in this food? It’s not labeled.
- I checked the packaging and there is no mention of "crude ash" anywhere on the packaging. My elderly is thriving on a mixture of this dry food and Merrick's canned wet food that is duck-based.

- All of our food (wet & dry) is formulated for the well pet. Unfortunately we do not have any foods formulated for pets with special needs. All of our can foods are grain free and considered Low Glycemic. If you need any certain information from our analysis, I can provide that information to you in order for you to check with your vet. Your vet will know if our food would be suitable for your pet.

Does merrick grain free duck formula contain brewer's yeast?
- I have had no problems with my dog wanting to gnaw his paws incessantly when feeding him Merrick Grain-Free Duck or Pork dry food. I made the mistake of switching to another grain-free product a month ago because of a good sale, and he has been chewing and licking his paws non-stop for about two weeks. I'm immediately putting him back on Merrick. If there is any yeast in it, it isn't bothering him.

Expiry date ?
- I'm sorry that I can't tell you exactly how long the food lasts, but I find it's important to transfer the food from the bag into a few good, air-tight containers or ziploc bags, because the food will stay fresh much longer this way than if you keep it in the original bag. The dog food bag comes with a built-in zipper that can be re-sealed and has markings above, indicating where to cut the bag open; however, I've found that the zipper peels away from the bag quite easily once it's been opened, which defeats the purpose of having a zipper. My dog loves this food, and I can say for sure that the food lasts at least a couple of months when stored properly.

What is the best way to switch my GSD puppy from a grain food to a grain free food and wean them completely off of the grain food?
- I've found that it's easiest on their stomachs if you slowly mix in new food with old food. Maybe at a 1:4 ratio for a few days, then 2:2 ratio, and so on. It should only take about 2 weeks to completely transition. PS my grain free food (Merrick) has done wonders for my pup's skin!
Helpful?
what's the size of the kibble bits?
- The kibble in the Grain Free Duck is about the size of a button on a mans dress shirt, there is also a picture on the side of the bag of the kibble that is the actual size.

Re: Merrick Grain Free Real Duck & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food - can this dog food be purchased in something larger than 25# packages??
- As far as I know 25 lb bags are the biggest I've seen in store on shelves and online. But it is definitely a great food.

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?
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.
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?

hi my 3 month old puppy ate a 42g pack of Orijen free run duck. Should i be worried or is it okay.
Hello, I recently found out about DCM in dogs from grain-free diets. I use Orijen food for my 1.5 y/o. It has great ingredients but I don't want to take any chances, are there any brands you would recommend for a large (85-95lbs) lab/Pyrenees mix dog that is about one and a half years old?
I read that grain free foods are leading to heart disease. We feed our dog Merrick Grain Free. What to do?
