Ingredient Transparency

This is a simple, short ingredient list with no corn, wheat, soy, or grains. No artificial additives are present. Crafted in Merrick's USA facilities following strict FDA guidelines.

Nutritional Positioning

Guaranteed analysis: Crude Protein (min) 10.0%, Crude Fat (min) 6.0%, Crude Fiber (max) 3.0%, Moisture (max) 78.0%. The high moisture content supports hydration alongside daily nutrition. This formula is complete and balanced for adult dog maintenance as established by AAFCO nutrient profiles.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

This is a loaf-style wet food with real chicken pieces - firm enough to slice, moist enough to mix. The focused chicken flavor makes it highly palatable for most dogs, including those with ingredient sensitivities. Suitable for all breed sizes; portion accordingly based on your dog's weight and activity level. Works well as a standalone meal or mixed into dry kibble for added moisture and protein.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Serve as a complete meal or use as a topper mixed with dry kibble. For dogs over 100 lbs, add 1/4 can for each additional 10 lbs. If feeding alongside dry food, reduce wet amount by 6 oz for every 1/2 cup of dry food. Feed puppies up to two times and pregnant or lactating females up to three times the amount for the same weight. Shake well before opening. Adjust portions based on your dog's size, age, and activity level. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Cover and refrigerate unused portions after opening. Always provide fresh, clean water alongside feeding. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place.
