it looks sooooo good !!!!

i went to the pet store today to pick up dog food and the merricks food was right next to the stuff i usually get. my son happened to pick up a can of it and said it looked like people food and could we get it for the dogs. so , since a few of you raved about it i decided to buy 1 can. i just now fed it to the dogs. i didnt really know what to expect when i opened up the can but i was shocked. huge chunks of real chicken breast pieces, whole pieces of bone which i could break easily with my fingers and see all the marrow in it. it looked better and tastier then the majority of the soups for us people !!!!! the particular can i got was called WINGALING. if the dogs don't react badly to it, ie: get diarrhea from it, i may just buy a few cans of that for them a week. it is soooo expensive though at 2.00 a can. but a few days a week wouldnt be so bad. thanks to those who spoke so highly of it. had you not i would never have considered buying that 1 can :)

Okay..I just gotta say it...you know that right????LOL I told ya....that stuff is great.

Sounds like you tried the Turducken first. It actually looks & smells good enough to eat yourself. I sure couldn't afford to feed it alone, but a spoonful or so added to their dry kibble sure makes them gobble everything all up.

I'm glad you tried it and I'm sure you will be too.

Edited because I'm an idiot: I just saw that you tried the Wingaling first.

lmbo yes you told me so :) i forget now who the other poster was who highly recommended it......crs strikes again :( ......yes i couldnt feed it solely either but i will definitely buy a few cans a week of it if they tolerate it well. they get one can a day split between the two of them so a few cans a week i can swing.


thanks again :)

My dogs love all of the Merrick can flavors the "Grammy's Pot Pie" and the "Cowboy Cookout" are their favorites. They also make a great dry dog food and canned food for cats. They are still formulating the dry cat food.That will be in stores at some point.
I had never given my dogs any canned food before Merrick because of the loose stool issue. They both did fine on all of the flavors. The "Wingaling" freaked me out at first but after dissection of the contents I thought it would be O.K. to feed because the bones are soft. When people buy it at my store I make sure I tell them the "Wingaling" contains soft bones. I also ran it by a few veterinary friends and they said the bones were soft enough to feed.

Thats so funny, i just discovered wingaling recently as well. Hubby brought it home and the dogs absolutley LOVED it. None of mine had bad reactions to it. It is definetly too expensive at least for me to buy regularly, but I like to buy a few cans a week and give them a little bit with dinner. I never even knew it existed!!!
Posted: 11:27:48 PM 4/23/2005
I haven't seen that stuff! You know what , though, I feed mine a regular people kind of meal a week, less the seasonings... I bet this has the same effect... real chicken, or beef, peas, or carrots, and rice... I will look for Merricks...
Posted: 11:03:23 AM 4/24/2005
i was a little leary too when i saw the bones in there. but they were so soft they broke right between my fingers. so far otday no runny stools.

oohhhhh...Merrick!!!!! Heee heee, sorry im a little late, Just came back from my trip...Have to put my two cents in!!!!
Scout!!!! I told you!!!! i was raving about this food to everyone! Its great food!!!!!
My dog had bowel problems, for the first few days, then he was fine, he is growing huge!!! at 12 weeks he is 30lbs. So i cannot help but think that its all because he is getting very nutrious food. But if you do want to continue purchasing the food, 2.00 a can is a bit much. There is a wholesale website, 20 bucks for 12 cans...I found it in a specialty pet store for 1.67 a can...look around, maybe they have it somewhere cheaper.

There are more websites, i googled it, Merrick dog food wholesale, and went through the websites to see which ones are good.
Good luck !!! And great decision!

I just saw that the other day and got samples of the dry, it also has dried veggies in it. The lady said good things about it. Mine really liked the samples.
Posted: 6:33:07 PM 4/29/2005
Do you have to order it online or do they sell it in stores. I really don't like to order anything over the internet but I would love to try it. I bet mine would love it, they are all little piggies.
Posted: 6:34:51 PM 4/29/2005
Whoops, sorry, reread your post and you said you bought it at a store. Was it like Petsmart or Petco or some of those. I have never seen it at ours.
Posted: 7:04:06 PM 4/29/2005
no, they dont sell it at petco or petsmart, i looked. A private pet store would have it. I walked around asking like an idiot. until i found one that has them for cheap, no i go there all the time. Ordering online is the best thing ever invented! I love it, but you have to know where you are getting it from, the two websites that I posted before, my friend recommended to me, they are both good, and reliable. but with shipping cost, i think it might be more beneficial to your pocket, to look for a store.

i got mine at the pet value pet store in my town. it is a rinky dink little store that for a long time only sold supermarket brands of dog food. but lately they are expanding in to a better quality line of foods. picked up 2 more cans of food this evening. i stuck with the wingaling variety. there were two chicken wings in the can so each dog got one. they gobbled it all up !!!
Posted: 8:35:09 PM 4/29/2005
Awesome!

I have recently started to mix 'cesar' canned dog food with Shadow's food. She loves it.

Hey Scout, I'm going to look into Merrick at my pet food specialty store. :) I do have a question for you though about the raw turkey necks......The bones don't seem that soft to me? I gave them a few bites but I am gonna throw out the rest........I hate their breath now! The necks are very fresh & not spoiled at all. I just gag at the smell of raw poultry Not to mention too afraid of the bones causing Interception. Kerrie's have VERY sensitive bellies! I'm sure they'll be ok as they are now several hours later. Ughhhhhhh the smell though! Stinky breath! LOL! Someone please send puppy breath my way! Pretty please!
Posted: 9:23:27 PM 4/29/2005
rhonda i am not the best person to give advice on all this raw stuff. start a topic to ginah. she is the expert on this diet. i am still learning myself and taking it a little at a time.

i am so glad my dogs are not kissers if they breath is that bad from turkey necks lol.

For those of you trying to find a place close to you that sells Merrick foods, if you go to www.merrickpetcare.com they have a store locator.

I haven't tried any of their dry foods, but should I ever decide to switch mine off Wellness (which is not likely at this point), Merrick would be my first choice. I love all their products.
Posted: 11:06:46 AM 4/30/2005
Thanks Scout! I think I'll look into the Merrick instead. LOL! Turkey necks are just to stinky! LOL!
Posted: 11:57:24 AM 4/30/2005
your welcome rhonda. i was shicked when i saw the merricks food. looked just like a nice chicken soup i would eat. dogs love it. so far no diarrhea from it. =)
