Crafted with authentic ingredients, Merrick’s formulas have been developed to meet the specific needs of dogs. Here are the Merrick product lines available at Mondou:

  • Merrick Backcountry is a protein-rich dog food line that combines high-quality kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces in dry recipes for added variety.
  • Merrick Grain Free recipes are crafted without grains and focus on high-quality ingredients like real meat, poultry, or fish as the first ingredient.
  • Merrick Lil’ Plates is a line of recipes specially crafted for small breed dogs, with high-quality ingredients and nutrition tailored to their needs.

Merrick's Backcountry line offers high-protein dog food that mimics an ancestral diet. A high level of high-quality animal protein provides essential benefits for dogs’ overall health by strengthening the immune system, helping maintain lean muscle mass, and supporting healthy skin and a shiny coat.

Some dogs have a sensitive digestive system or may present food intolerances to grains. Merrick Grain Free recipes avoid the use of wheat, soy, or corn, replacing them with nutritious ingredients like sweet potatoes or peas. This type of formula offers a highly digestible option for your companion, promoting better nutrient absorption and optimal intestinal health without compromising taste or energy intake.

Founded in 1988 by Garth Merrick in his family kitchen in Hereford, Merrick has remained true to its vision of providing authentic, high-quality food. This vision continues to guide the selection of ingredients and the formulation of its products today, with meat as the first ingredient and without the addition of by-products or artificial colors.

Merrick offers a wide range of products, including dry kibble, wet food, fresh-frozen meals, dietary supplements, and recipes tailored to different needs, such as grain-free, limited-ingredient, and small-breed formulas.

Merrick products are crafted in the United States, primarily in their own facilities in Texas. You can easily find Merrick products in Canada at Mondou, Ren’s Pets and Homes Alive, both online and in-store.

Store dry food in a cool, dry place and keep it in its original packaging or an airtight container.

Refrigerate unused portions of wet food and use within recommended timeframes.

Fresh food should be kept frozen until you’re ready to use. When you’re ready to feed, thaw the product in the refrigerator. Once thawed, keep it refrigerated and use it within the timeframe indicated on the packaging. For best quality, follow all storage and handling instructions on the package.

Gradually transition your dog over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts of Merrick with your current food. This helps your dog adjust comfortably to a new recipe.
