How does this food support my dog’s coat, skin and joints?

This kibble includes omega fatty acids to help nourish skin and coat and contains glucosamine and chondroitin precursors to support joint comfort and mobility in adult dogs. These nutrients work alongside protein to help maintain overall condition without relying on fillers.

• Omega-3 and omega-6 sources for skin and coat nutrition.
• Glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health support.
• High-quality proteins help preserve lean muscle that supports mobility.

Is this diet appropriate for maintaining my dog’s energy and lean mass?

Yes — the formula supplies concentrated protein and energy from animal and fat sources to help preserve lean muscle and sustained activity levels in adult dogs. The balance of macronutrients is designed to meet adult maintenance needs without excess carbohydrates.

• High animal-protein content to support muscle maintenance.
• Healthy fats provide steady energy and palatability.
• Produce and fiber for digestion and nutrient absorption.

How should I transition my dog to Merrick Premium Grain Free kibble?

Introduce the new food gradually over about a week to minimize digestive upset: mix increasing amounts of Merrick with the current food each day until fully switched. Monitor appetite, stool consistency, and energy, and adjust feeding amounts based on your dog’s weight and activity.

• Start with 25% Merrick and 75% current food on day one.
• Increase Merrick by roughly 25% each day over 4–7 days.
• Consult your vet for special dietary needs or abrupt changes.
