 | | Barked: Sun Apr 1, '07 2:26pm PST | |  | |  | | If anyone would like to know-this same issue was posted about a month ago-and someone had gotten a response from Merrick on that forum. I have included the link and Merrick's response then:
Food & Nutrition > Feed Merrick? May want to reconsider....
However they did receive a response from Merrick:
"We only use Human grade ingredients in our Merrick 5 Star products (and always have) and we 100% do not use any rendered meats in any pet food products that we manufacture."
Please note that they are specifically speaking of their 5 Star line-this line is usually what we are all speaking of-when it comes to their dry and wet foods. As for the amount of time that it is currently taking them to get return your call-I can only imagine how utterly swamped they are with the very same call not to mention every other question-I would not assume they are trying to ignore or hope you go away-it just sometimes takes more time than anticipated to return that call.
Hope this helps you to make a decision-we love Merrick-not sure you can beat whole chicken wings with sweet potatoes and blueberries...Mmmmmmm!!!!!!  |  |  | |  |

There's no such- thing as to much- food! |
| | Barked: Sun Apr 1, '07 7:49pm PST | | | | | | After doing research on Merrick, I wouldn't feed it either due to the ethics, I feed my own dogs raw, my rescue dogs I keep on kibble simply because I find a raw feed dog is sometimes reluctant to go back to kibble (can you blame them!), and very few adopters feed raw! I've been using Canidae for years, I fed it to all my dogs before switching my own to raw, and have never been disappointed, they also have a program just for breeders where if you save the UPCs, they give you a free bag for every 10 you buy, and it's a great price even without that, as far as premium foods go, I've never found one I'm happier with then Canidae. | | | | |

| | Barked: Mon Apr 2, '07 8:14am PST | | | | | | It makes sense that they own a rendering plant, since they sell dog treat chews, rawhide, hooves, tendons, bones etc... I am glad to know they have a rendering plant rather than buying these products from other countries like many companies or having them prepared elsewhere in plants not owned by them. Without a rendering plant I don't think they would be able to manufacture their own chews in their own facilities! | | | | |

If you feel that strongly about it check out Tom's of Maine or Burt's Bees line of soaps and cleaners. You can find them both at Whole Foods.
I have three cans of Merrick. I usually keep them around for when Mr. Fussy-Pants decides he doesn't want to eat--like when we leave him with the dog sitter for a while. And I personally feel safe feeding it. And he loves it--so I'll keep it on hand for those occasions. | | | | |
