The wise ones of the dog kingdom remember when dog food was a quarter, bones were free, and drinking from water hoses wasn’t taboo. For crying out loud we now have bottled water for dogs, day spas and gourmet pet food, what is the world coming to? So we had the crazy idea to create a favorite medley of flavors that is sure to remind them of yesteryear when they once were Homecoming Queen. Who says growing older means you have to eat bland food, consume massive amounts of fiber, play canasta and do water aerobics? The Merrick family says live life to the fullest, ditch the dentures and use what your parents gave you, these are the golden years!

How much food your dog eats is dependent upon size, level of activity, stage of reproduction, and environment. When feeding in measured amounts, feed according to the weight of your dog. Use this table as a GENERAL GUIDE to determine how much Merrick Five-Star Gourmet to feed your dog.
*For dogs over 100 lbs.. add 1/2 cup of dry dog food for each additional 10 lbs. Adjust feeding level to your dog's individual needs. Puppies and nursing females may consume two or three times the recommended amount per day. Keep fresh water available at all times.

It is so nice to be able to purchase safe pet food without worring that it came from CHINA. Also the fact that it does not contain fillers and other junk. It is expensive but worth the price, to keep our babies safe!
