Hi All! So, Chloe is being so picky lately!! She won't eat her dry food alone and I must add in some baby food to add more flavor!!! Anyway...so I decided to purchase Merrick Turducken dry food for her (she was on Canidae)....I thought it was interesting that.."serve dry or add warm water for grammy's chicken gravy" anyway...she only had a few bits and stop!!! arghh!! but I just wonder anyone thoughts on Merrick dry food?

max too was picky but once I decided on a food and stuck with it...he ate it I tried so many different foods and he would take a few bites and go on strike because he knew i was going to try something else lol
i tried the grammys pot pie, and he didnt like it. so I changed to Nutro Ultra and he wasnt to crazy about it at first but now (because I havent changed it and he knows he isnt getting anything else) he eats it all up! He has been eating it for about a month now

Gracie used to love it then stopped eating eat. I think they changed their recipe. I am still searching for something she will eat. She will eat Royal Canin Yorkshire more often than anything else.

I use different foods and when I feed them Merricks - they love it just like everything else.

None of mine are picky eaters, thank goodness.

We tried Merricks dry. Murfee would pick out ALL of the vegetables and spit them out on the floor. He made such a mess and didn't really like it. He had always been on Science Diet as had all of the dogs we have had in the past. I stopped SD after I started learning different things here on YT but he is back on SD.

Tried a few sample packs of Merricks Turducken (not sure if I spelt it correctly), Pao doesn't like it. He is now stuck on Orijen for a while because although I sent hubby out to buy a 2.5kg bag of Orjien, he bought the 13.5kg bag!!!! Good thing that Pao will eat it.

I might need to change to something else again....arghh..I dont know what to do? i wonder if she is sick?? she could eat Canidae (at least most of them but still have food left over??) what should i do!!!

My Jackson has stopped eating the Merrick kibble and can food. He used to gobble it up, now he smells it and walks away. The only one he will eat is the lamb sausage one. I cut it up and when warmed creates its own gravy. I also think they changed the formula. I emailed them months ago with no reply. He will not eat Turdurken, Grammy pot pie or the puppy plate anymore. I am trying to find something else for him but I made some chicken rice stew for him from my dog cookbook...lol.

My picky ruby would not eat anything and I bought so many kids. she stopped eating Merrick wet food so i got the Puppy dry kible by merrick and SHE loves it. i am not giving her any treats at all anymore and it really has helped. I am SO happy she is eating like a normal pet and I don't have to cater to her anymore(unless she changes her mind

)
