- Description
Treat your small breed dog to the comforting taste of real deboned chicken as the #1 ingredient. Merrick Lil' Plates Grain Free Petite Pot Pie delivers complete, balanced nutrition with tender chicken, wholesome vegetables, and savory gravy in perfectly portioned 3.5 oz. trays designed specifically for tiny appetites and nutritional needs.
Ingredient Authority
Deboned chicken is the first ingredient, followed by chicken broth, turkey broth, chicken liver, and dried egg whites—providing high-quality poultry proteins your dog's body recognizes and utilizes efficiently. Potatoes, carrots, peas, and apples contribute essential nutrients and natural fiber. This grain-free formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors. Crafted in Merrick's Hereford, TX kitchen and cooked in the USA in facilities that uphold strict FDA guidelines.

Functional Positioning
Omega-3 fatty acids support healthy skin and coat. Essential vitamins and minerals—including zinc, iron, copper, manganese, and selenium amino acid chelates—promote overall wellness. The tender, succulent pieces with wholesome vegetables in savory gravy encourage even picky eaters to finish every bite, while added moisture supports urinary tract health and digestion.
Feeding Guidance
Feed 3 to 4 trays (3.5 oz. each) per 10 lbs. of body weight daily. Adjust portions based on your dog's age, activity level, and individual metabolism. Serve at room temperature for optimal palatability. Cover and refrigerate unused portions. Always provide fresh water.
