Divide the total per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information in the chart as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed.
Dry and wet food in combination will help increase the level of water in your dog’s diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6 oz of wet food.
My chihuahuas LOVE this food! –
My girls having been eating this food for about 5 months now. They love it. The size of the kibbles are perfect for lil ones. My husband read various dog food reviews for weeks, and I do mean weeks & he chose the Small Breed Recipe due to its ingredients. We only want the BEST for our lil ones & we’ve found it in Merrick.
My dogs are so much healthier! –
A wonderful young man at Petco recommended Merrick Classic to me after my 2 Maltese refused to eat Blue Buffalo any longer. This food has cleared up their eye stains totally and my 10 year olds are acting like puppies. Thank you Petco and Merrick!
