Merrick

Cowboy Cookout

It’s time to celebrate. Your family and dogs have gathered around the table for one of your world famous cookouts (minus the burnt wieners and too yellow potato salad). Your prized beef and favorite side dishes are ready to be feasted upon. In Texas, we love beef as much as Americans love apple pie. So saddle up, put your bib, chaps on (whatever works for you), some extra deodorant because this dish is gonna make your dog sweat and let’s pop some fireworks. By the way who cares if it’s in the middle of winter (however, this would not be a good idea if your city has an ordinance against them. If so, maybe you can go out to Cousin Earl’s in the country or heck, move to flippin’ Texas) Muchos Gracias from the Merrick’s.

Grammy's Pot Pie

The smell of Grammy’s house and her famous chicken pot pie is an unforgettable comfort, plus she doesn’t care if you watch Nick at Night all day. Our family loves dogs, and we’ve been sharing this gift with dogs around the world for a little while now and the votes are in – Grammy For President. She’s our number one seller because the woman can flat out cook, not to mention she took first prize in needle pointing at our local fair. This meal is sure to make your dog beg to move to Grammy’s, even if they have to eat their vegetables and massage her corns! Wash this dish down with some fresh peanut butter cookies and a cold pint of milk (not Skim but old school Vitamin D). Grammy sends her best!

Puppy Plate

It’s the first lick, the wobbly crawl and the cut on your finger from putting it in their mouth when you shouldn’t have. These soft, cuddly friends come into our lives, and we grow with them. They become our friends long before they are housebroken, stop tearing things up and crying in the middle of the night. So we cooked up a special dish with lots of TLC that we think transitions them nicely from their momma’s milk and welcomes them to earth but still with a firm handshake. At Merrick we call it Puppyhood and without Merrick in their life, well it’s pretty much boredom. So skip the national grocery brands and stop sheltering them because they’re gonna grow up sooner or later and find Merrick on their own so you might as well have the “talk” now. The Merrick’s say “send us some pics of the new pups and we’ll add them to our album.”

Senior Medley

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!

Turducken

This bayou classic allows dogs to get in touch with their southern senses. We all know that Napoleon did us a favor with the Louisiana Purchase at 3 cents an acre but we have to believe that if he could have foreseen the mixed breed that is Cajun cooking coming that even he would have thought twice about his most famous garage sale. The delicious combination of all these flavors cooked together makes even vegetarians reconsider their pledge. It’s time that all of our dog friends had a taste of this Cajun Treat. The Merrick’s would like to toast Napoleon, so finish this entrée off with his dessert’s namesake and thank the French for their charity – strike that, thank our forefathers for absolutely owning them!

Wilderness

The wilderness - it’s the call of the wild, the return to simplicity and oh by the way, stuff that tastes pretty darn good. These bold flavors come together and provide an X-rated excursion for your canine friend. So whether your idea of backpacking in the outdoors is your commute to work in your urban jungle or trekking the Lewis and Clark trail, this dish does not discriminate. Now, you better pack a night stick, a fresh glow stick and some freeze dried ice cream for this trip because its basically gonna send you to the moon. So ditch the skinny half caff latte and let’s go full throttle and howl at the moon like you want to get arrested. The Merrick’s say send some postcards (mugshots are cool too)!

5-Star Canned

Gourmet Lunchbox

Call us old fashioned but we like the old days. We’re talking about the old school lunch boxes that mom used to pack every day as she sent us off to school. This was the day way before manufactured; over processed pre–packed blah blah became the standard fare in the lunch room. We miss the TLC and home cooked goodness that used to come in our lunch boxes when we went to school or work.

So we decided to do something about it and throw back to the days of black and white TV, fresh squeezed lemonade and homemade chocolate cookies after school. We packed up Grammy’s home cooked memories in 8 delicious meals without all of the artificial preservatives, flavors and colors and packed them in a sweet lunch box to reminisce the days of our youth. So pick up a couple and give them to friends, family and let’s start a lunch box revolution. Our products were created to be Comfort For the Soul™. We hope these meals warm your dog’s tummy but we can’t guarantee straight A’s on his next report card.

This delicious lunch pail includes Brauts-n-Tots, French Country Café, Grammy's Pot Pie, Wild Buffalo Grill, Campfire Trout Feast, Smothered Comfort, Wilderness Blend and a Surprise Bonus Can.

These tender chunks of chicken are sure to make your dog beg to go to Grammy's, even if they have to eat their vegetables. Grammy's Pot Pie is prepared with Chicken, Red Jacket New Potatoes, Carrots, Snow Peas, & Red Apples.

Puppy Plate

It’s the first lick, the wobbly crawl, and the yawns full of puppy breath that make us all love our puppies. That’s why we created the Puppy Plate with plenty of high quality proteins to keep them healthy: Turkey, Duck and Chicken mixed with hearty whole grains, delicious vegetables and fruits. At Merrick we call it Puppyhood; don’t hurry too fast to grow up!

Senior Medley

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. We created a medley of flavors that come together to make a delicious gourmet chicken entrée that is sure to remind them of yesteryear. The Merrick family says live life to the fullest – these are the golden years!

Turducken

This bayou classic allows dogs to get in touch with their southern senses. The delicious combination of Turkey, Duck and Chicken all cooked together in their wonderful juices makes even vegetarians reconsider their pledge. It's time that all of our dog friends had a taste of this Cajun Treat. The Merrick family says – “geaux for it!”

Wilderness Blend

The wilderness - it's the call of the wild, the place where these native American flavors were first born. The original flavor of Buffalo, the untamed taste of Venison and the bold fresh taste of Salmon all mixed together for an excursion of the palate. The unharnessed flavor of Wilderness Blend awaits. The Merrick Family invites your dog to return to his first love - the wild!

Brauts-n-Tots

This dish comes with everything but the sour kraut, lederhosen and a stout pint of German ale. We’ve set the table and left the rest to your imagination. However, we do recommend that if your dog is of German descent to ease them into a dish like this or they might leave in the middle of the night to catch the next boat back to the homeland. The Merrick's would like to say Danke.

Thanksgiving Day Dinner

The house is filled with love and the wonderful smells of Thanksgiving infiltrate the air. Could it get any better as you fill your plate with juicy slices of turkey and all the trimmings? We don't think Thanksgiving should come only once a year, so we created this meal for your dog to enjoy all year round. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. Thanksgiving Day Dinner is prepared with Turkey, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Green Beans, & Granny Smith Apples.

Wingaling

Once upon a time there was a magical place called Wingaling and it had the best tasting chicken in the world. Nutty brown rice simmered in savory gravy that naturally marinates these delicious chicken wings on the bone to add flavor. The Merrick's would like to welcome your dog into this wonderland of flavor that is chicken paradise.

A NOTE FROM THE CHEF: please read before feeding. Our slow cooked whole chicken wings offer marinated tender chicken cooked on a softened bone. THIS SPECIAL COOKING PROCESS MAKES THE BONE MUSHY AND SAFE FOR YOUR DOG TO ENJOY. Feel free to serve whole or to break apart the chicken and soft bones for ease of pet consumption.

Wild Buffalo Grill

It's winter in the Rockies at a quiet cabin with the one you love, a good book and a warm fire. The taste of the west is on the menu tonight. Buffalo and a host of tasty vittles are warming on the stove. The Merrick family is happy to share this original taste with your canine friend. The Merricks say Howdy and thanks. Wild Buffalo Grill is prepared with Buffalo, Cracked Pearled Barley, Zucchini, Carrots, Snow Peas, & Fuji Apples.

Campfire Trout Feast

A family camping trip is a rite of passage for some and a funny set of memories for many more. Bringing the family Chihuahua along for companionship is probably a better idea than using him for protection, even if he’s a long hair. However, no matter the size of the fight in the dog, a fresh fillet of grilled trout prepared camp side is the essence of an outdoor culinary experience that all canines should enjoy. This dish offers an alternative for the days your furry fellow is stuck inside salivating over the family goldfish in his urban suite. The Merrick’s would like to encourage you and your dog to grab a bag of marshmallows, a stack of carob bars and a box of graham crackers and go sing Kumbaya around the campfire.

French Country Cafe

Whether it’s a corner café on the streets of Paris, a Cottage tucked along the French countryside or a trip up the Eifel Tower with your significant other, they all spell the romance of France. This savory delight inspired by the many culinary artists from across the pond will have your dog begging for more in a heavy French accent in no time. The Merrick’s say Merci Beaucoup.

Harvest Moon

The full moon is out and the flavors of harvest paint the sky. Harvest is a time to reflect on what we've invested in, the seeds we've planted in our life and others. So here's to keeping more seeds of love and mercy in our garden shed. The Merrick's would like to thank farmers around the world and let's make trade fair.

Mediterranean Banquet

The Greek Isles are a lovely place to visit. As the sun sets tonight, you are dining seaside with that special someone. The banquet of lamb, fresh vegetables and fruits is fit for royalty. The Merrick family is happy to offer the taste of the Mediterranean to your furry friend wherever you may call home. The Merricks say "bon appetite". Mediterranean Banquet is prepared with lamb, Brown Rice, Chick Peas, Spinach, & Golden Delicious Apples.

New Zealand Summer

There is something so peaceful, so still about imagining a herd of sheep grazing on the grassy fields of New Zealand. A simple life of a shepherd is not so simple but it is oh so comforting for the sheep to know that they are under His watch. The hope is for a place some day that offers a peace that transcends all human understanding. The Merrick’s hope your dog Baa’s and Baa’s over this dish.

Smothered Comfort

Down south we like to make things comfortable. It doesn’t get any better than homestyle chicken thighs smothered in gravy with a buffet of Momma Merrick’s ﬁxins. If you hear your dog yelping a loud Amen on the back porch, this is completely normal behavior. No matter the color of your state the Merrick Family says God Bless the Red, White and Blue!

Venison Holiday Stew

On New Year's Day you celebrate with an old family recipe that is timeless and delicious. The parades are on TV and the venison stew is simmering on the stove, filling the house with a wonderful aroma. Our family made this dish available after our dog, Annie, devoured a bowl and now expects it every day. The Merricks are going to the dogs. Venison Holiday Stew is prepared with Venison, Red Jacket New Potatoes, Carrots, Zucchini, Sugar Peas, & Red Apples.

Working Dog Stew

Annie’s worked all week long back at the ranch. She’s been roundin’ up loose cattle and chasing off those crazy coyotes. The aroma of country fixins fills the air. The hearty taste of beef tripe, gravy, sweet potatoes, and carrots are calling her name and she’s earned it. To all the working dogs out there, the Merrick’s say – “This stew's for you!”

Before Grain

Buffalo

Before traditional grain based diets were invented, mealtime for generations of dogs was provided by nature. Our new Before Grain product line provides a diet rich in high quality meat and bio-available nutrients the way nature intended. We believe a diet based primarily on fresh meat, super blue fruit, nutrient dense vegetables and high quality oils contribute to overall health and longevity.

Fresh Buffalo is the #1 ingredient - there are NO grains, fillers, by-products, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives!

We've formulated our Before Grain dry kibble varieties with
your "everyday extraordinary" dog in mind, and the result is the most palatable, grain-free dog food on the market. This is the way food was supposed to be, before grain got involved.
