Review 1 for Merrick Grain Free Real Buffalo & Sweet Potato Dry Dog Food
Overall rating
Probably the most amazing dog food I have ever bought!
PostedMay 17, 2013
lillyybear
from Glendale, CA
Coming from someone who has tried out both solid gold and blue buffalo. My dog's would get so bored of the taste from these past 2, but with Merrick, they ALWAYS eat it up. It's been a really long time, and they still love the taste! I've also seen a lot of improvements in my dog. He's always been a shy, nervous kind of dog... but now he seems happier, and more outgoing. I'm not too sure if this has to do with the food, but I also had a friend try this food out and his dog loved it as well. After his dog throwing up over cheap food, we switched him over to this, and it's all he feeds him now.
& one more review on my other friend's chihuahua, she also had the biggest issue being shy, and she would run whenever you'd try to pet her. One month after using Merrick, she now comes to you for affection, and doesn't shake as much. She seems so so much more outgoing. She's like a total, much better dog. And she's starting to grow hair on her chest as well as getting a shiny coat. I'm glad she got rid of the beneful.
AND I HAVE TO MENTION - BOTH FRIENDS DOG LOST THE BAD HABIT OF CHEWING THEIR TAIL!
I really want to THANK YOU Merrick, for helping my dog get back to his normal self. I haven't seen him act like this since about 7 years ago. He actually plays with his toys again.

I switched to Grain Free many years ago and once I found Merrick for my dog, I searched no more. He absolutely loved this food and I loved the results. Even though he was going through cancer treatments, he maintained a very good energy level and his coat looked great so I knew he felt good from the inside.

I have a 4year old rescue cattledog/boxer mix and a yellow lab. Our rescue dog had severe allergies and was on prednisone and allergy shots. After 3 years of trying many different types of food, I tried Merrick grain free buffalo and sweet potato. She is doing great, she is not on any medications. She loves the food but then she is not a picky eater. Our yellow lab does not have any allergies but is a picky eater and she does eat this dog food so it is wonderful to be able to have both dogs on the same food. I get many comments on how healthy the dogs look. I have become a fan of this food. It is expensive but so were all the other foods I have tried.

I use to use Blue Buffalo dog food, had a problem with it recently, bone fragments were found in the food, I contacted their Customer Service people and wow was I shocked they were nasty ! They didn't care, so I did some research and discovered others had the same problem with Blue too, that was enough for me , so I did some more research and decided on Merrick for my dogs. Glad I did. They are doing so great on it I would highly recommend it to anyone, IMO even if you don't choose Merrick, you should stop feeding Blue .

I bought this for my 10-year old basset hound who has allergies and is currently undergoing chemo for lymphoma. My veterinarian told me that Grain Free food would help with his allergies and info I read on his type of cancer stated that grain free would be good for him. When the bag arrived, I thought he was going to tear the box open to get to the food. He really, really, loves this food. I'm a believer and will continue to feed him Merrick Grain Free dry foods. Thanks for such a good product and a great price with free delivery.

Was I amazed!

When we started on the food search we went through I think about 8 different foods before out baby was 4 months old. We didn't think he had allergies or any other probs when it came to food til we started really monitoring our boxer baby. Of course a dog who has a white coat is a lil more sensitive for some reason ( go figure lol ). SO my last option by the time we were done was Merrick! OMG in less than a week our baby was finally getting normal stools that actually smelled normal ( i know gross lol ) and his hot spots have slowly been going away. This has been amazing and even though it was pricey, it has been well worth it.
I'm happy to spend the money on my baby if it means we can keep him out of the vet. Not only that its soooooooooo much healthier for him too.
So if your fur baby has allergies to grains soy wheat etc the list goes on def give this a try. Merrick has more than plenty of options when it come to dry food and I would def reccomend it to anyone who has to deal with a sensitive fur baby.
It might not be for every fur baby but so worth giving it a shot.

I switched our 9 yr old Aussie from another brand to the Merrick GF Buffalo and it has been the best decision I've ever made for him. He loves this food; I love it because I feel good about feeding it to him. It may be more expensive than other options out there, but I am willing to pay more for high quality ingredients and food that is made in the USA...you are what you eat! His coat is shiny, he is active and playful, and his stools are regular and firm...what more can you ask? I also like the fact that this food actually smells good...most other brands I've tried smell funky and unappetizing.

I have sampled a variety of dog foods for the two lab pups I brought home from the shelter 2 years ago. I tried what the vet had recommended; what the pet store recommended and those recommended had several aspects that were not to my liking.
Then I tried Merrick, recommended by my trainer (dog trainer). It is great. Dogs love it. I love it. And the greatest perk is I understand ALL of this food is manufactured in the U.S. I use the grain free and will continue with this product.

No food would work for my shiba inu. He had diarrhea ever since I had him at 9 weeks. Got him tested for all kinds of parasites and diseases and everything was negative. Tried 5 different brand of premium dog food until I tried Merrick. His stools before better immediately and he was having hard stools within days. I love this brand and I am not changing! My puppy loves this food and as do I!

My coworker recommended this food for my three dobermans, and within two days I saw a difference for the better. My red, who has itchy skin problems, has stopped scratching completely and his coat and eyes are shining. That in itself was worth it to me.
My dogs love the food and I love the nutrition in the Merrick Grain Free Real Buffalo & Sweet Potato. 38% protein on its own was enough for me to be happy with this, but that is definitely not all this Merrick food has to offer. Try it out and I can guarantee you will love what this food does for your dogs.

I have a 3 yr old pit bull who had always been on Blue Buffalo, and she liked it, but kept getting bumps on her back. So I switched to Pro Plan and she gained 10lbs in eight months! After alot of online research I came across Merrick and decided to try the grain free buffalo and sweet potato. She absolutely loves this food!!! Her skin and eyes are shiny, she has more energy, her teeth look cleaner, her bms are small and firm and she has lost the weight she gained. I feel confident feeding my dog this high quality food, made in the USA with local ingredients. Merrick is worth every cent! Thank-you Merrick, you have a customer for life!

Have been using this brand for almost a year now. Occasionally alternate flavors for (my) variety. My guys love it, never anything left over. Have noticed that both have less shedding, which is always a plus. In the hot/wet weather, which is 8+ months of the year, they're not constantly itching/biting (fleas were never the problem). Coats are thick and shiny. Will continue to use and recommend.

GermanLineGSD
I have a male german line German Shepherd. I started giving him this food when we brought him home after extensive research regarding dog food. In my research I found Merrick to be one of the best quality dog foods so I decided to purchase it for my baby. Since it was good for all life stages of a dog I started giving it to him at about 12wks of age but it didn't fall right on his tummy. I thought maybe it was because of the previous dog food that had been given to him and that he would get use to it, but he didn't. His stool was too soft until the last day I gave him the food. I have since changed him over to Wellness Large Breed Puppy food and he loves it. Stools firm. Happy tummy.

My dogs are very picky eaters and the older one is diabetic so she has special dietary needs. This dog food fell within her nutritional requirements plus the younger dog can eat it too. It was costing me alot of money for a smaller bag of diabetic dog food from the vets and it was difficult to get her to eat it half the time. Thank you for making a quality food that is actually good for my pets.
