Default Merrick… Back country Raw Infused Kibble




Your thoughts or experience on.

Merrick… Backcountry Raw Infused Kibble(made in USA)
Raw Infused#1 ingredient- Deboned beef
No grain, wheat, corn or gluten ingredients.
Freeze dried real meat pieces


For appox. 14 months Cody has been eating Natural Balance Limited Ingredients kibble, Bison or Venison, I started him on Chicken appox.2 or 3 months ago. Cody is NOT a picky eater, he eats anything, but he’s a big fan of wet canned food he prefers dry kibble. Cody vacuums up his food, eats so fast. Tuesday morning I set his bowl of chicken down and he walks away, refuses to eat, so I think he’s tired of eating chic for the last couple of months, kinda strange he would tire so quickly because he had been eating bison and venison for many more months then he has chicken. So off to Pet Supplies Plus we go to get bison or venison. I get there, ask do they have Natural Balance LI samples, they have Kangaroo, I get a pkg. give Cody a few pieces, he eats it, ok great, I get 2 bags, come home, mix chic & some Kangaroo kibbles from the sample packet, he doesn’t eat it, offer him plain Kangaroo he refuses, I sprinkle a bit of Parmesan cheese, he eats a few pieces then walks away, I mix in a nice amount of Parmesan cheese, he eats everything. That night and the next morning we go through the samething me ending up putting quite a bit of Parmesan cheese on his food. I go that day and return the kangaroo kibble and get Bison, I know he likes that. That night I offer him chic mixed with bison, he refuses, offer plain bison, he refuses, again I mix a nice amount of Parmesan cheese, he eats everything. I don’t want to be mixing Parmesan cheese in his food every night, this is now how he is use to eating, I figure he's just tired of Natural Balance LI. Today I go to Pet Supplies, ask for another brand of LI kibbles, they show me Merrick grain free and this Raw Infused Kibble. I bought one bag of each in case he didn’t like the grain free I would have the freeze dried as a back up. Tonight I mixed NBLI bison & Merrick beef, grain free, he eats it all and NO Parmesan cheese. Praying tomorrow morning he eats it.

My question is has anyone tried the Merrick freeze dried Raw Infused Kibble and did / does your baby like it, should I feed it to Cody.
