Merrick Real Salmon & Sweet Potato Recipe
Dog Food · scored by FurMetric
88Excellent
This is a high-quality dog food led by named salmon, salmon meal, and whitefish meal with natural tocopherol preservation. The only notable concern is menadione (synthetic vitamin K), and protein and fat levels are strongly species-appropriate.
