Merrick Grain Free Real Duck and Sweet Potato Recipe Dog Food

Merricks recipes are made here in the USA right in Merrick’s™ own kitchens. They use no ingredients from China; only the freshest, locally-grown ingredients.
With regional farm-fresh ingredients, Merrick’s™ dog food recipes are built around five key promises that represent its commitment to better food for pets:

• Local growers: Merrick™ uses ingredients grown by American farmers and ranchers, not only to support local communities, but also to ensure freshness and food safety. With fewer distributors, handlers and warehouses, farm-grown ingredients get to Merrick’s kitchens faster.
• Nutritious real whole foods: Merrick™ uses food in its purest state — with no artificial additives, sweeteners, colorings and preservatives. Real meat provides essential amino acids dogs need; omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (“healthy fats”) provide energy; and vegetables, fruits and whole grains enhance dogs’ overall nutrition, absorption of nutrients and immune system function.
• Cooked in Merrick’s™ own kitchens: Putting cooking and quality control under one roof, Merrick™ cooks food in small batches in its kitchens in Hereford, Texas to ensure its foods exceed taste, health and presentation ratings, as well as that its recipes appeal to both human and pet palates.
• Balanced nutrition: Merrick™ Classic recipes feature a healthy balance of 60 percent meat/poultry/fish, 20 percent fruits and vegetables, and 20 percent whole grains. Its Grain Free recipes feature a balance of 70 percent meat/poultry/fish, 30 percent fruits and vegetables, and contain no wheat, rice or other grains, for dogs who have food allergies or sensitivities. Both brands ensure dogs get more of what they need and less of what they don't.
• Health you can see: Since the adage “you are what you eat” applies to both people and pets, Merrick™ uses industry-leading levels of protein and healthy fats to ensure dogs’ optimal weight and energy; fatty acids for healthy skin and coat; glucosamine and chondroitin for healthy bones and joints; and highly digestible meat proteins, peas, apples and blueberries for improved digestion
