Merrick

We are your pet food experts

The Merrick story began over 30 years ago. The main goal was, and always has been, to make the best pet food possible. Food that is made using the very best ingredients with superior nutrition and delicious taste. We’re all about staying true to our roots and staying put in our original Hereford, Texas, kitchen—the one where Garth Merrick started our company and where we still handcraft recipes today.

We know you want the best nutrition for your dogs and cats. That’s why we have a team of experienced vets, animal nutritionists, researchers, developers, and more. Meet the team who helps us deliver the best food possible for the best pets ever. We only use high-quality meats, fresh-caught fish, and real fruits and vegetables. Foods like those aren’t just drool-worthy, they’re rich in the valuable protein and nutrients pets need. No fillers, additives, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Nothing artificial, nothing but goodness.

Choose Merrick and you’ll be met with a lifetime of purrs, wagging tails and squeaky-clean bowls. But don’t count on these alone to know your pet is happy and healthy, you’ll see a difference in how your pet looks and feels.
