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.

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”.
