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!

Mickey eats very well. His dry kibble is mixed with a spoonful of wet food for flavor and to help him eat and digest it. One can lasts about a week and a half, so its not a huge expense to indulge him with this fancy stuff.

The wet food actually doesn't look half bad. It has very large pieces of meat and has the appearance of a very thick cream of chicken soup. At my corporate training we made fun of a teammate for admitting he ate dog food on a dare... I think there are going to be times here at home when 'there is nothing to eat' that I might be tempted to take a bite!

So far he's been eating Puppy Plate. The label says "With Turkey, Duck, Chicken, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, Granny Smith Apples" The duck pieces are a little processed (like spamified duck) but I usually have to break up the chunks of turkey and chicken because they are so big.

Merrick pet food states, "We use human grade ingredients along with fresh fruits, vegetables and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives." Now Jamal and I don't have to feel guilty about not feeding Mickey our food, because his is probably better!
