Merrick Limited Ingredient Diet Healthy Grains Chicken Wet Dog Food | 12.7 oz (Case of 12)

Merrick Limited Ingredient Diet Healthy Grains Real Chicken Recipe is a wet dog food formulated for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes with food sensitivities or sensitive stomachs. Unlike the grain-free LID recipes, this formula takes a different approach - pairing single-source deboned chicken with wholesome brown rice while excluding peas, potatoes, corn, and soy. The result is a limited ingredient recipe that supports digestive health through easily digestible grains rather than grain-free carbohydrate alternatives. It functions as a complete and balanced daily meal or as a topper over dry kibble.

Quick Product Snapshot

Why Pet Owners Choose This Food

• Single-source protein from deboned chicken reduces exposure to multiple protein sources - a key consideration for dogs with known or suspected food sensitivities
• Brown rice provides an easily digestible carbohydrate source for dogs that tolerate grains well but need a simplified ingredient list
• No peas, potatoes, corn, or soy - addresses common dietary exclusions without requiring a fully grain-free formula
• Minimal ingredient list limits the number of potential dietary triggers compared to standard wet food recipes
• High moisture content at 82% supports daily hydration and urinary tract health
• Versatile feeding format - works as a complete daily meal or as a topper over a compatible limited ingredient dry food
• Made in the USA with no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with deboned chicken, followed by water sufficient for processing, chicken broth, brown rice, and natural flavor. Brown rice is the only grain included and serves as the primary carbohydrate source. The intentionally short ingredient list is the defining characteristic of this recipe. No peas, potatoes, corn, soy, or artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors are included. The formula is crafted in the USA.

Nutritional Positioning

This wet dog food delivers 7.0% crude protein (min.) and 5.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 82.0% moisture content. The grain-inclusive formulation with brown rice provides a digestible carbohydrate source that differs from the potato-free, grain-free LID recipes. The higher moisture level (82% vs. 78% in the grain-free LID recipes) contributes to daily fluid intake. This recipe meets the nutritional levels established by AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for adult dog maintenance and is positioned as a complete and balanced daily meal. Consult your veterinarian if your dog has a diagnosed food allergy or requires a strict elimination protocol.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The LID Healthy Grains Chicken format is a smooth, protein-forward wet food with a high moisture content. The minimal ingredient list means the chicken flavor is the dominant taste and aroma profile, with brown rice providing a subtle carbohydrate base. The high moisture content contributes to palatability and ease of consumption. For dogs that do well on chicken and tolerate grains, this recipe provides a familiar protein in a clean, controlled format. 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; 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. 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. Keep out of reach of children. If your dog has a diagnosed food allergy or is undergoing a veterinary elimination diet protocol, consult your veterinarian before use.
