Merrick Grain Free Wilderness Blend with Duck, Bison, Venison, Peas, Potatoes & Carrots in Gravy is a wet, canned food Merrick formulates for adult dogs, sold in 6 oz, 12.7 oz cans. Because ingredients are listed by pre cooking weight, the first five on the label, deboned duck, beef broth, vegetable broth, bison, venison, are the ones present in the largest amounts before cooking removes water and reduces bulk. The guaranteed analysis on the label lists 8.0% crude protein and 5.0% crude fat as fed. Merrick publishes a body weight based feeding chart on the product page and label rather than a single daily amount, since portion depends on a dog's weight and activity level. Merrick sells this recipe as a standalone meal or as a topper mixed into dry kibble. Dogs who lose interest in a rotation often take it again with a single ingredient freeze dried topper crumbled over the top.
