Merrick Dog Slow-Cooked Grain Free Memphis Style Chicken 12.7oz. (Case of 12)

Merrick Slow-Cooked Grain Free Memphis Style Chicken is a wet dog food formulated for adult dogs of all breeds and sizes, built around real deboned chicken slow-cooked in savory broth with natural smoke flavor. Inspired by Memphis-style barbecue, this recipe uses a slow-cooking process that produces a distinct braised chicken texture not found in standard wet food formats. Grain-free and complete, it functions as a daily meal or as a premium topper over dry kibble - and serves as the poultry counterpart to the Texas Style Beef in the Slow-Cooked lineup.

Ingredient Transparency

The recipe leads with deboned chicken, followed by chicken broth and turkey broth as primary moisture and flavor sources. Potatoes provide a natural carbohydrate base, while spinach and dried tomato contribute micronutrients and fiber. Natural smoke flavor is used to achieve the Memphis barbecue-style profile - no artificial flavors are included. Salmon oil delivers 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.

Nutritional Positioning

This 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 poultry-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.

Texture, Palatability, and Feeding Experience

The Memphis Style Chicken format features slow-cooked, braised chicken pieces in a savory broth with vegetable inclusions. The slow-cooking process produces a tender, pull-apart chicken texture that differs from standard pate or chunk-in-gravy wet food formats. The natural smoke flavor creates a distinctive aroma that can appeal to dogs that have become less interested in 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. 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.
