(Case of 12)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMerrick Slow-Cooked Grain Free Kansas Style Pork is a wet dog food formulated for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes, built around real deboned pork slow-cooked and chopped with natural smoke flavor. Inspired by Kansas City-style barbecue, this recipe uses a slow-cooking process that produces a distinct chopped pork texture not found in standard wet food formats. Pork is a less common primary protein in mainstream wet dog food, making this recipe a practical rotation option alongside chicken or beef-based recipes. Grain-free and complete, it functions as a daily meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Product Snapshot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse; width:100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Protein\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eDeboned Pork\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eWet Dog Food\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eSlow-cooked, chopped pork with savory broth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLife Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eAdult\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBreed Size Suitability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eAll Breeds and Sizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet Positioning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eGrain-Free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding Purpose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eComplete meal or premium kibble topper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Feature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003eSlow-cooked chopped pork, natural smoke flavor, red jacket potatoes and carrots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ccc; padding:6px 10px;\"\u003e12.7 oz per can, case of 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Pet Owners Choose This Food\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal deboned pork is the first ingredient - a less common primary protein that works well for rotation feeding alongside chicken or beef-based recipes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked and chopped for a distinct texture and flavor profile not found in standard wet food formats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural smoke flavor delivers an authentic Kansas City barbecue-style taste without artificial flavors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrain-free formula with no corn, wheat, or soy - suitable for dogs with common grain sensitivities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed jacket potatoes, carrots, and dried tomato provide a distinctive vegetable profile with natural fiber and micronutrients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmega-3 fatty acids from salmon oil and flaxseed oil support healthy skin and coat condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrafted in Merrick's Hereford, TX kitchen with no artificial preservatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredient Transparency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe leads with deboned pork, followed by beef broth and vegetable broth as primary moisture and flavor sources. Pork liver adds organ-based nutrition and palatability, while potatoes provide a natural carbohydrate base. Carrots and dried tomato contribute fiber and micronutrients. Natural smoke flavor is used to achieve the Kansas City barbecue-style profile - no artificial flavors are included. Salmon oil and flaxseed oil deliver omega-3 fatty acids. The formula contains no corn, wheat, soy, or artificial preservatives. All ingredients are sourced and the product is crafted in the USA at Merrick's Hereford, TX facility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNutritional Positioning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wet dog food delivers 8.0% crude protein (min.) and 2.0% crude fat (min.), supported by 82.0% moisture content. The lower fat level reflects the lean pork-based formulation and vegetable-inclusive ingredient list. High moisture content at 82% contributes meaningfully 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 - though it is also commonly used as a high-palatability topper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kansas Style Pork format features slow-cooked, chopped pork pieces in a savory broth with vegetable inclusions. The slow-cooking process produces a tender, pull-apart pork texture that differs from standard pate or chunk-in-gravy wet food formats. The natural smoke flavor and pork-forward aroma create a distinctive profile that can appeal to dogs that have become less interested in conventional chicken or beef-based wet food recipes. Serving at room temperature improves palatability compared to refrigerated portions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Guidance and Portion Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan be served as a complete meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble.
