Merrick Dog Chunky Colossal Chicken 12.7oz. (Case of 12)

Merrick Grain Free Chunky Colossal Chicken is a grain-free wet dog food formulated for all life stages and all breeds and sizes, built around USDA-inspected deboned chicken as the first ingredient and featuring big, hearty chicken chunks in a savory gravy. Part of the Merrick Grain Free Chunky lineup alongside the Pappy Pot Roast, this recipe is distinguished by its dual poultry broth base (chicken and turkey broth), the addition of rosemary, sage, and thyme for natural herbal flavor, and dual omega fatty acid support from salmon oil and flaxseed oil. It functions as a complete and balanced daily meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble.

Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• USDA-inspected deboned chicken is the first ingredient - a verifiable, familiar protein source with no unnamed meat meals or by-products
• Big, hearty chicken chunks in savory gravy provide a more substantial eating experience than pate or finely chopped wet food formats
• Dual poultry broth base from chicken broth and turkey broth creates a richer, more layered flavor foundation than single-broth recipes
• Rosemary, sage, and thyme add natural herbal flavor - a distinctive element not found in other Merrick wet food recipes
• High moisture content at 82% supports daily hydration alongside meals
• Dual omega fatty acid sources from both salmon oil and flaxseed oil support healthy skin and coat condition
• Formulated for all life stages - suitable for puppies, adults, and seniors without requiring a separate formula

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with deboned chicken, followed by chicken broth and turkey broth as dual poultry moisture and flavor sources. Carrots and peas provide natural fiber and micronutrients. Rosemary, sage, and thyme are included for natural herbal flavor - these are the only herbs used in the Merrick Grain Free Chunky lineup and create a distinctive aroma profile. Salmon oil and flaxseed oil both contribute omega fatty acids. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or by-products. The product is crafted in the USA.

Nutritional Positioning

This wet dog food delivers 8.0% crude protein (min.) and 3.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 82.0% moisture content. The higher moisture level compared to standard 78% wet food recipes contributes meaningfully to daily fluid intake. The dual poultry broth base and herbal additions create a more complex flavor profile than the Pappy Pot Roast while maintaining the same core nutritional structure. Dual omega sources from salmon oil and flaxseed oil provide both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid support. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Colossal Chicken format features large, hearty chicken chunks in a savory gravy with carrot and pea inclusions. The big chunk format is the defining characteristic of the Grain Free Chunky lineup - providing a more substantial eating experience than standard chunk-in-gravy or pate formats. The combination of dual poultry broth and rosemary, sage, and thyme creates a distinctive herbal-savory aroma that sets this recipe apart from conventional chicken-based wet food recipes. Serving at room temperature improves palatability compared to refrigerated portions.

Feeding Guidance and Portion Use

Can be served as a complete meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble. For dogs over 100 lbs, add 1/3 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. Adjust portions based on your dog's weight, age, activity level, and individual metabolism. For puppies, feed more frequently and adjust portions based on expected adult weight and growth stage. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7-10 days. Always provide fresh water alongside meals. Refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days.

Safety, Storage, and Handling

Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place. After opening, cover and refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days. Serve at room temperature for best palatability. Always provide fresh water. Keep out of reach of children. If your dog has a known health condition or dietary restriction, consult your veterinarian before changing their diet.
