Yes those are dehydrated veggies and fruit chunks.

Yep, those are dried fruits and veggies! If you add water to the kibble to make the gravy like it suggests, they will rehydrate!

My two won't eat their peas!

You can't get it seprately. Let her get used to eating the food. The veggies and fruits are an added bonus for her. Merricks is a good quality food.

i've had the same bag for about a month and a half. abby does NOT like the kibble at all. she only picks out the dried veggies. it is very stressful to me.

Put a small bit of warm water. Honestly if she is hungry she will eat it. What were you feeding her before?

i used to have her on s/d before i knew better. she didnt really like that. my main thing for her is wet food tho. she gets it in the morning and night. and during the afternoon she gets chicken. im not too crazy about her not eating the kibble but i just want to know where i can get all those dried up frozen veggies

They dont' sell that seperately to my knowledge. You might be able to go to a holistic food store and they might have human dried foods you can give her. When you give them wet food they tend to not like the dry stuff.

Personally I don't give canned foods. Too much perservatives to keep it like that and it's not the best for their teeth either. She is not eating the kibble because she is getting canned and then the chicken as well. If you want her to eat the kibble then you offer that as the main meal and the chicken as a small supplement.

So when does she get the puppy plate? She's eatting a wet food in the morning and at night and chicken for lunch? Maybe she's not eating the puppy plate very well because she's just not hungry with all the other stuff she's eating?

Also, it probably will take her some time to finish a whole bag. It takes my 2 about 6 weeks to eat a 15 lb bag.

the kibble is left out all day. she is alone while i work so just in case she eats all her wet food, she can eat the kibble if she gets hungry. well.... she will only eat the veggies lol

[juliaw04]

Oh, okay, I understand! I agree with Bizzymammabee, a food store might have something similar if you are wanting to give her more as treats. She probably doesn't need it though...since she's not eating the kibble, she's probably not that hungry.

does Merrick's have a good grain free kibble?

[kobes mama]

I feed Kobe Merricks Puppy Plate also, both kibble and wet. He can't really chew up the big chunks of turkey yet so I puree it for him and give him two tbsp over the kibble and he gobbles it all up. He gets this for breakfast and dinner. For lunch he just gets kibble and although he doesn't eat it all he does like it. Plus he asks for more kibble about an hour after dinner...its so cute.

BTW KRISDEE - Merrick's does have a grain free kibble. It's called Before Grain and it comes in Buffalo, Chicken and Salmon flavors.

I have not tried that Kibble b/c it is such a large bag and I am afraid she won't like it. I wish I could get a sample bag of it. I have 3 large bags of kibble that she won't eat, which I am going to donate, But I give her the Merricks puppy plate in the a.m and at supper time and she has kibble she snacks on during the day.
