- Description
Merrick Classic Wingaling is a grain-free wet dog food formulated for all life stages and all breeds and sizes, built around a format unlike any other recipe in the Merrick lineup - real bone-in chicken wings that are edible and safe for dogs to consume. The bone-in format provides natural calcium and phosphorus from the wing bones alongside quality chicken protein, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and Red Delicious apples in a savory gravy. It functions as a complete and balanced daily meal or as a special topper over dry kibble, and is the only recipe in the Merrick catalog that features whole bone-in poultry pieces.

Ingredient Transparency
The recipe leads with chicken (bone-in wings), followed by chicken broth as the primary moisture and flavor source. Peas, sweet potatoes, and carrots provide natural carbohydrate sources, fiber, and micronutrients. Red Delicious apples add a fruit inclusion for natural antioxidants. The bone-in chicken wings are processed to be soft and edible - the bones provide natural calcium and phosphorus as part of the complete nutritional profile. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The product is crafted in the USA.
Nutritional Positioning
This wet dog food delivers 9.0% crude protein (min.) and 7.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 78.0% moisture content. The bone-in format contributes natural calcium and phosphorus from the wing bones, which are incorporated into the overall mineral balance of the complete and balanced formula. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages - not just adult maintenance - making it nutritionally appropriate for growing puppies and senior dogs as well.
Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience
The Wingaling format is unlike any other wet dog food texture in the Merrick lineup. The bone-in chicken wings are soft and edible, providing a more substantial, whole-food eating experience than standard chunk-in-gravy or pate formats. The combination of bone-in chicken, savory gravy, and a diverse vegetable and fruit lineup creates a complex aroma and flavor profile. The bone-in format can appeal to dogs that respond well to whole food textures and owners who prefer a more natural, minimally processed presentation. 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. 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 by mixing increasing amounts with the current food. Always provide fresh water alongside meals. Refrigerate unused portions and use within 3 days.
Safety, Storage, and Handling
The bone-in chicken wings in this recipe are processed to be soft and edible - they are not raw or hard bones. 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.
