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.
