Merrick Grain Free Real Chicken Dinner Wet Dog Food (12.7oz)

Merrick Grain Free Real Chicken Dinner is a canned pate-style wet dog food for adult dogs, made without grain, corn, wheat or soy. It comes in a 12.7 ounce can.

Merrick describes this recipe as starting with real USDA-inspected deboned chicken as the first ingredient, delivering 96 percent of its protein from animal sources, and containing no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Merrick also describes the recipe as providing "complete and balanced nutrition," though its product page does not carry a formal life-stage AAFCO nutritional adequacy statement.

First ingredients: deboned chicken, chicken broth, chicken liver, dried egg product, natural flavor, salmon oil and locust bean gum. Merrick's guaranteed analysis:

• Crude protein: not less than 9%
• Crude fat: not less than 7%
• Crude fiber: not more than 1.4%
• Moisture: not more than 78%

Merrick lists calorie content as 1,230 kcal ME/kg, or about 442 kcal per can, and gives feeding directions of adding 1/4 can for every 10 pounds over 100, adjusted to each dog's needs; when mixing with dry kibble, Merrick says to reduce the wet portion by 6 ounces for every 1/2 cup of kibble fed.
