"My dogs absolutely love this new flavor!! Merrick can dog food has always been a favorite by them and I love that they come out with seasonal flavors to provide options and a change in flavors for them!!!"

โ€” Jana

"Merrick Limited Edition Grain-Free Smokey's Tailgatin' Beef Tips is so much more similar to pate than a chunky beef goodness!"

Bottom Line

Given the discrepancies in taste texture and the negative experience for most users, this edition may not be suitable for picky dogs, especially those normally preferring chunkier foods. Carefully weighing this decision with prior experience with Merrick might be helpful. Please consider the wet dog food perception that is chunky, not liquid might be suitable for your perception of this feature as opposed to numeroous consumers perceptions
