Why Pet Owners Choose This Food
- Human-grade beef bone broth as the first ingredient - slow-simmered to extract natural minerals and flavor, not a by-product or broth flavoring.
- 97% moisture content - adds meaningful hydration to meals, particularly useful for dogs who are reluctant water drinkers or on dry kibble diets.
- Just five ingredients - beef bone broth, butternut squash, blueberries, parsley, and cinnamon; one of the shortest ingredient lists in the Merrick lineup.
- Superfood blend with functional positioning - butternut squash contributes natural vitamins and fiber; blueberries provide antioxidants; parsley supports fresh breath; cinnamon adds natural flavor.
- Grain-free with no artificial additives - no corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
- Boosts palatability for selective eaters - the savory beef broth aroma and flavor can encourage appetite in picky dogs or those transitioning between foods.
- Made in the USA - crafted in Merrick's Hereford, Texas facility in FDA-compliant kitchens.
Ingredient Transparency
Full ingredient list: Beef Bone Broth, Butternut Squash, Blueberries, Parsley, Cinnamon. Five ingredients total. The bone broth is human-grade and slow-simmered - not a flavoring or broth concentrate. No grains, no artificial additives, no by-products. The superfood additions are present in small quantities as flavor and functional complements to the broth base, not as primary nutritional sources. This is a supplemental product, not a complete and balanced meal.
Nutritional Positioning
This topper delivers 3.0% crude protein (min.) and 0% crude fat (min.), with 97.0% moisture content. The high moisture level is the primary nutritional contribution - it adds hydration and improves the palatability of dry food when poured over kibble. The protein content is low relative to complete dog foods, which is expected for a broth-based topper. This product is intended to supplement a complete and balanced diet, not replace it. No AAFCO complete and balanced statement applies - it is a supplemental food.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The product is a pourable liquid broth. When added to dry kibble, it softens the food slightly and coats it with a savory beef flavor that most dogs find highly palatable. The aroma is distinctly beefy with subtle warmth from the cinnamon. It can also be served chilled or frozen as a standalone treat. Shake or stir well before serving as natural separation may occur. Serving at room temperature or slightly warmed improves aroma and palatability compared to cold portions straight from the refrigerator.
Feeding Guidance and Portion Use
Pour desired amount over your dog's regular food or serve in a bowl as a standalone liquid treat. Adjust serving size based on your dog's weight and individual caloric needs - this is a supplemental product and should not displace a significant portion of your dog's complete diet. Shake or stir well before serving. Refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days of opening. Always provide fresh water alongside meals.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
Store unopened pouches in a cool, dry place. After opening, refrigerate and use within 3 days. Natural separation is normal - shake or stir before serving. Keep out of reach of children. If your dog has a known health condition or dietary restriction, consult your veterinarian before adding new supplements to their diet.
