Merrick Dog Kitchen Comfort Lamb 12.7oz. (Case of 12)

Merrick Kitchen Comforts Lamb Shepherd's Pie is a grain-inclusive wet dog food formulated for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes, built around real deboned lamb as the first ingredient and served in a rich gravy. Inspired by the classic shepherd's pie, this recipe pairs lamb with brown rice, carrots, potatoes, and green peas - a hearty, home-style ingredient combination that prioritizes digestibility and comfort-food palatability. It functions as a complete and balanced daily meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble, and is the lamb counterpart to the Kitchen Comfort Turkey Meatloaf within the grain-inclusive Kitchen Comforts lineup.

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Rich gravy adds a hearty, home-cooked flavor profile that appeals to dogs that respond well to savory, familiar aromas
• Grain-inclusive formulation makes it a practical option for dogs that do well on brown rice and do not require a grain-free diet

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Kitchen Comforts Lamb Shepherd's Pie format features a hearty, shepherd's pie-style texture served in a rich gravy with vegetable inclusions. The combination of lamb, brown rice, and classic shepherd's pie vegetables creates a home-cooked aroma and flavor profile. Lamb has a naturally richer, more distinctive flavor than chicken or turkey, which can appeal to dogs that are selective about standard poultry-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. Typical daily feeding guidelines by body weight: 10-20 lbs - 3/4 to 1-1/4 cans; 20-40 lbs - 1-1/4 to 2 cans; 40-60 lbs - 2 to 2-3/4 cans; 60-80 lbs - 2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cans; 80-100 lbs - 3-1/4 to 4 cans. Adjust based on your dog's individual metabolism and activity level. When transitioning from another food, introduce gradually over 7 days. Always provide fresh water alongside meals.

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.
