Merrick says real deboned beef is always the first ingredient in this recipe, calling it a "high protein recipe" that "helps maintain lean muscle mass and healthy energy levels." The brand states it contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives and points to high levels of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat, plus glucosamine and chondroitin for hip and joint support. Merrick's own product page does not display a formal AAFCO life-stage adequacy statement; check the bag for the exact wording.
