Merrick holistic can entrées
read like a menu at a five star gourmet restaurant and are unique to say the
least. These meals combine the fine quality of human grade ingredients from the
protein sources that Merrick uses as the
number one ingredient to the fresh vegetables and fruits that they add to all
of these special dishes. If you read the ingredient panel, you will notice that
Merrick did not forget any of the details and
that these meals are loaded with nutrition.
The specialty of Merrick foods is the details
and one of those details is the apples they use. They use Fuji,
Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Red varieties to give their meals the
special Merrick touch, and they pair them with
the entrée that they compliment best. After all, this is a five star
menu, right? Merrick makes its cans especially for your pet at their plant in Texas, and they would
love for your canine companion to have a taste of the good life today. Give Merrick a try and treat your dog like royalty.

Merrick is a family-owned
company that got into to the pet care business by accident. Merrick
created some prototype treats for a potential account and made the trip to
“pitch” them. The account picked a handful of them and placed an
order. Of course, when Merrick went to make
duplicates of the prototype, they couldn’t get it done.
Eighteen years later, Merrick still keeps
working harder to perfect the treats that dogs have come to love. For the past
couple of years, Merrick treats have been ranked as the number two best-selling
treat in pet stores across the U.S.
by a Pet Retailer Report - so, our guess is that Merrick
does have some fans.
The secret to Merrick products is the
simplistic approach we take in making them. Merrick
is a simple processor, meaning that they use the least amount of steps as
possible during their manufacturing process. They want to retain as much of the
natural benefits as they can. Merrick does
that by staying away from any artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Merrick believes that this approach keeps their treats
popular with their customers and their guardians. Merrick
only distributes their treats to the specialty pet retailer channel like us,
Lizzy’s Healthy Pet Food, and have been doing
that since the beginning.
A Bump in the Night
In 2002, Merrick started working on a gourmet
line of pet foods that came with a bump in the night. The product names and
recipes that you have come to love all came from a scratch sheet of paper in
the early morning hours. Merrick took these
ideas and began working on a line of pet foods that would rival the best in the
world. They worked with their nutritionist, research and development team - and
the rest is history. Merrick launched these
products in October of 2003 with eight unique dog entrees. Merrick
now offers fifteen different gourmet excursions; however, Grammy’s Pot
Pie is still the favorite. Merrick uses human
grade ingredients along with fresh fruits, vegetables and no artificial colors,
flavors or preservatives. Merrick now offers a
can line of gourmet entrees as well which recently were featured in none other
than Gourmet Magazine.
After the dog and cat can debuts, Merrick
introduced a dry dog food line. They started with six different entrees and
recently converted our chicken- based dry selections to organic chicken at no
extra cost to you, the consumer. Merrick
created a dry product that was as unique as their can entrees. They added
freeze-dried vegetables and fruits after the kibble- cooking process. This is
unique because most pet foods add the vegetables and fruits, if any, during the
cooking process. Merrick adds theirs after the
cooking process so that your dog gets the optimal benefit of these nutritious
ingredients in their flash freeze-dried state. The best thing about health food
for dogs is the benefits of a healthy diet. Healthy food doesn’t have to
taste bad, though. Merrick created a natural
gravy coating that they add to their kibble for delicious flavor. This allows
you to add warm water and stir to create a savory home
style gravy, just like Grammy used to make. If you don’t want to add warm
water, your dog will still thank you as they dine on our kibble, due to the
fact that natural gravy will be made on their tongue as they enjoy their
healthy lifestyle.
”Comfort for the Soul”
Merrick’s mission statement is
“Comfort for the Soul,” and they do that by offering you simple,
nutritious and healthy products. You want to be a good pet guardian and Merrick
products give you comfort to know that you are giving your pet a healthy meal
and treat. Merrick feels the same way because
they are pet guardians just like you. In fact, they don’t have just dogs
and cats, they currently have llamas, ducks, chickens,
emus, zonkeys (that’s right, a cross between a
donkey and a zebra), goats, koi and longhorns. When Merrick started its treat company, the founder put the
following scripture from the Bible on our boxes, and they still display this
Proverb today; “A good man is concerned for the welfare of his
animals.” Knowing Merrick is committed
to this verse is “Comfort for the Soul”.
