Merrick Grain Free Adult Salmon and Sweet Potato Dog Dry Food

Merrick Grain Free Salmon and Sweet Potato is a dry kibble food made for adult dogs. It is sold in 4 and 10 pound bags.

Merrick says real deboned salmon is always the first ingredient, calling this 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 highlights omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat along with glucosamine and chondroitin for hip and joint support. Merrick's page does not display a formal AAFCO life-stage adequacy statement; check the bag for the exact wording.

First ingredients: deboned salmon, salmon meal, whitefish meal, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peas, pork fat and pea protein. Merrick's own guaranteed analysis for this recipe:

• Crude protein: not less than 30%

Merrick lists calorie content at 3,686 kcal/kg, or 457 kcal/cup. Feeding amounts vary by weight and activity level; Merrick's own chart is printed on the bag, and the brand recommends mixing dry with wet food gradually if switching.
