[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first got it, I wasn’t sure if my dog would like it since he could be picky sometimes. He seemed to enjoy this food and I like that it meets his needs and that it will be benefiting him as he’s getting older. If you have a small dog and are looking for a particular type of food for them, this is a good option.

My dogs seem to really like this. I had to switch to the salmon because of food allergies. The only issue is it’s never available in the larger bag for the small dogs. I wish they would make that available since it’s typically a better deal and it does last longer with my two small dogs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product seems like a really good choice, my dog unfortunately is not big on seafood flavors, but other dogs I have tried with enjoyed the food. Also, the ingredients and quality seems very good! I would definitely recommend this. I Look forward to trying a different flavor for my dog going forward!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My sweet Chihuahua, Skippy is 13 years old and is a bit of a picky eater. In the past few years we have had to try different kibbles and had given up and making him homemade dog food. I was so surprised to see how much he truly enjoyed Merrick Lil’ Plates. We are still pretty shocked actually. His vet will be happy as well to see him eat dry kibble as we know that helps break down tooth tartar. The kibble size is also perfect for his small size and I love that it’s grain-free.

My 5-years old dog is a picky eater, and she didn’t even want to try it, the strong odor of salmon makes her not want to eat the food.

I have been giving this to my Maltese fur baby for about 5 months now & he loves it, he is very picky & highly allergic to a lot of foods, including chicken & corn, . I started him on this with salmon when his liver enzymes went up & read that salmon & blueberries are good for helping lower the liver enzymes, so far so good, along with medication & this food his liver enzymes are under control. Thanks for making this food, plus he loves it, he is also a very picky eater & took to this food right away. Please don’t change the recipe. Thanks again

Merrick is a quality, affordable brand. My dogs do not care for the salmon flavor at all. The pieces are perfect sizes for small dogs. The bag design is very appealing, it just needs a resealable option. I will continue to buy merrick, just not this flavor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was great to sample with my two dogs, I used it as a topper on their normal food. They really liked it. I wish it didn’t have sweet potatoes, because that’s something my parents dog have a severe allergy to and so they have special “fish” food that doesn’t have sweet potatoes. Definitely would feed consistently if we had the allergy issues!
paigen (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog absolutely LOVES this food and, at 14 years old, he’s picky about his food. It definitely has a strong smell to it, but the pieces are small enough that even with his five remaining teeth, he can get it down. 15/10 would buy again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little Herbie is a very spoiled, very picky eater. He loves the perfect little delicate crunch of this bite sized food. The flavor makes him happy and he will joyfully eat this. With the food we previously used, we had to add to it to entice him to eat. This is going to be a regular purchase from now on!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t know what’s in this food, but my dog who is very picky with new food…loved it!! I mixed a little bit with his food and he ate it so fast the first time then I kept increasing the amount and he has shocked me of how fast he eats now. Usually he eats his food slowly through out the day so I’m definitely happy to see him enjoy his meal. I definitely recommend this brand and I will definitely be buying him another bag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a one and a half year old 19lb Jack Russell mix named Remington. I’ve been looking for a chicken free small breed/small bite food. Remi loved this. When I pulled out the bag he immediately started stiffing it and smacking his paw at it. I gave him a handful to try and he loved it. He ate all of it right up. My Remi boy loves the size and taste of this food! I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dog food looks like and upgrade for my dogs before I even opened the bag. The packaging is so elegant and shows the fresh salmon. Once opening the bag, it does have an overwhelming salmon smell but I can get over that if my dogs love it. I filled up my 17 year old chihuahuas bowl and my two year old lab insisted she have some as well even though it says it’s for smaller breeds she can’t be left out. They both ate it all up and loved it. My older dog is very picky and it’s also hard for her to eat a lot of dog food anymore because of her old teeth but she didn’t seem to have any issues. I would for sure buy this again for my dogs, the ingredients and quality of the food won me over. I did receive free via Influenster it that doesn’t chAnge my review.

My 2 year old shih tzu suffered from reoccurring ear infections. I switched his food several times, as the vet thought the ear infections were a byproduct of a food allergy. Needless to say, we switched to the salmon lil plates recipe and boom…ear infection cleared on its own and we haven’t seen another one since. This product has saved me so much money in vet bills. If your pup has a food allergy, give this recipe a try.

I am thankful to have received this item for my dogs to try! Honestly my dogs don’t usually eat fish and sweet potatoes, so I was excited and curious to see if they would truly like it or not compared to their usual meaty dog food. They sniffed it at first wondering what it was but surprisingly enjoyed it! I love the idea of salmon and sweet potatoes especially since I know it’ll benefit their health including skin and hair! Would definitely recommend!
Westies4Me (verified owner) –
This is the only food my Westies have been eating for years. They no longer chew at that paws. I add a spoonful of the canned salmon and they eat every last bit! Absolutely would not change dog food! Merrick is a very high quality food and this recipe is great for dogs with food allergies. Highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little guy can be picky so I always start by hand feeding him a little bit of a new food. Normally, he’s hesitant and eats one piece at a time, but he quickly grabbed all of the pieces and went at it! Slowly mixed it into his current food so as not to overwhelm him digestive system and he really can’t get enough! Who knows if it’s the salmon or the sweet potato (or both!), but he is definitely a fan!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Chihuahua likes the taste, I previously purchased a different brand, but My dog did not seem to have liked it. This I mixed it with wet food it seems that it being smaller than the one I previously gave him he likes it much more and eats it with the wet food before he just used to eat the wet and leave the dry food behind. With the previous food, he just made a mess and just dropped allover the floor. The only bad thing is that my Doberman wants to also eat it, need to find now something for her.

I began giving Merrick Lil Plates to my Lil sweetheart this past year because of a recommendation from a family member. I had been reading about different dog foods that were healthy, high in protein and easy for Princess to eat because it was tiny. Im so happy that I found Merrick because its the best and Im very happy about the ingredients especially. Princess just loves the flavors that are available, like duck, lamb, and salmon, which is her favorite. You can’t go wrong. As an pet owner and lover, I feel secure knowing that Im giving Princess a very high quality dog food that she loves and that is tiny enough for her to eat. I will always use Merrick dog food for my very special pup!
THANK YOU MERRICK!

My dogs tried this for the first time today and neither of one them wanted more than a nibble. It smells very strange and they chewed up mouthfuls and one of them spit it out, I’m not sure if it’s because it is a new food or just the smell? Either way they wanted their old food instead. I will not be buying this for them in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I received this product, but unfortunately, my Maltese refuses to eat it! I’m a little confused because this is the first kibble he has 100% refused to eat. We’re pretty strict and don’t let him get away with being picky, but this is unusual. Not only will he not eat it, one time he kept trying to rub his face into the piece of kibble on the floor repeatedly. Not sure if he doesn’t recognize it as food or if he has another issue. I will wait and try to feed it to him again, but surprised/disappointed he won’t eat it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, Thor (my furry baby) has approved Merrick Lil’ Plates Grain Free Real Salmon + Sweet Potato recipe.
Previously, we tried other brands containing salmon and/or sweet potato and Thor was not a big fan, even for eating during “treat time”, as usually goes for either beef or chicken flavors but with this Lil’ Plates recipe, Thor has really enjoying it (I am adding more gradually to his regular food) but also giving as tiny snacks. I think he enjoys the tiny and crunchy kibbles as he keeps begging for more.
Unlike other new foods, Lil’ Plates hasn’t changed Thor’s poop, which is good. Since the formula also has probiotics, it goes well with what Thor is used to.
Overall, I am happy with the results of Merrick’s Lil’ Plates.

I first put a small handful next to my dog’s bowl. He sniffed it and wouldn’t eat it. I then mixed some in with his current food and he sniffed his food bowl and then ate around this food and only ate his food. Unfortunately, this is wasn’t a hit in our house.

We switched because we have a 14 year old chi that has no teeth and was able to find that Merrick has a dry food that has soft morsels in it that she can eat. We also have several other dogs with allergies and this works for all of them. I have a Pitt and her allergies are very bad so now that she is eating Merrick we have not had to go get allergy shots as often. Thank you Merrick. This is one happy mama.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our dog is definitely picky about her food. She doesn’t like most of the land animal based food. After mixing this in with her normal food, she is a lot more excited to eat her food. She gobbles down quick enough that it’s gone from her bowl before you know it.

After trying many different dog foods for our little Shitzu who has a very sensitive tummy. Everything we tried she would throw back up undigested expect this one. She loves it and so does her tummy.

Bought for a Westie that was scratching and it is grain free that my dogs liked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly wasn’t sure if both dogs would eat this. One of them is a notoriously picky eater so sweet potatoes and salmon seemed like a stretch. However, once her brother dug into this her sister followed happily. They both seem to love it so this will be a bit again for sure!

I have a 9-yr old shih-tzu and I started mixing this with her special diet food (prone to bladder stones), she loves it. I find it better to mix it since she’s a bit more runny if she eats it alone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog loves it and eats it happily, which is paramount. I’m happy with the clean list of ingredients and the beneficial nutritional supplements that are great for dog health and missing from so many commercial foods.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My milo didn’t really care for this dry food! But he did eat it! And didn’t have any belly issues while trying it! Which is awesome! As when we run out of food and have to substitute other dog food for him it will usually cause gas and belly aches! This food didn’t! And he did end up eating it just didn’t act like it was his favorite!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My dog liked them, I didn’t notice any changes in his diet when eating it. He is a greedy dog and will eat anything. I also didn’t notice any changes in his bowel movements. That’s the first thing I look for after introducing something new.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been mixing this in with our 3 dogs food for about a week now. They really seem to like it, especially my littlest one. Unfortunately about 4 days in one of my dogs started to develop excessive itching on his hinde legs and side. Then yesterday one of my other dogs started to have the same reaction. they have never had a problem like this before, and it makes me sad since my little one likes it

We have fed Merrick lil plates to our Chihuahua/ Shitzu Moka since we got her Two years ago. She’s super healthy and happy!! Bright eyes and always active and her coat is amazingly soft and very very little shedding. I’m 100% sure the Merrick!’s dog food is a huge part of her great overall shape!!! We will continue to use this awesome product and I tell everyone I know to try Merrick dog food if you really want the best!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dogs definitely liked it better than the kibble I had been feeding them. With the other food I needed to add some human leftovers for them to consider eating. Merrick Little Plates they loved the minute it went in the bowls. After a week they are still diving in a finishing in record time.
I was wondering if a grain free diet would help with my one dogs itchy skin. He does seem a bit better. I’ll continue with the salmon and sweet potato and see if it makes a difference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The food has a lot of natural ingredients and proteins, which is really good for the pups, but the kibble is extremely hard for small dogs, i have a shorkie 15 pounds who was having trouble eating it so we had to include his broth for him to be able to eat after he tried and give up the first time.

Everyone always ask me why my dog’s fur is so shiny and white ( he is a West Highland White Terrier) I think pretty much it’s because of the way we feed him, poultry free food and natural ingredients, that’s why we love Merrick so much m, he suffer from allergies and since we switch to Merrick that condition has improve 100% I recommend this dry food are really good, the wet can food it’s very good also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product seemed to be well liked by my dog. I mixed it in with her old food and she ate it all. She is usually pretty picky. The small is the only downside.
misscrys217 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] At first my dog didn’t seem to care for this good. He avoided it at the first feeding, but the next day he ate all of it. He’s been cleaning his bowl ever since. Also, a side benefit seems to be regular, solid stools. He had inconsistent stools before and now since eating this dog food his stools are consistent every day and they seem to be a healthy texture/consistency. That’s pretty important to me due to his age.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a picky 11 yr old yorkie chikhuahua who’s picky with his food. He’s used to another brand so my husband did half and half first with this. We noticed him to go for his dry food more compared to before. With his previous dry food, it would take him a long time to finish it. Im assuming this one is more tasty for him bc he just went for it! Im so happy we were introduced to this brand. We will definitely purchase once this bag if done. Thank you Merrick and influenster!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dog food was a little bit darker in color than my dogs previous (Hills small adult). Nonetheless my dog loved the taste, and it did not upset her stomach cause diarrhea or affect bowels. And if you look at the ingredients the first ingredients are not corn or corn meal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little guy really enjoyed this dog food. With his last food I noticed through out the day he always seemed to be hungry. With this food he has gone from three feedings to two. Plus he really scarfs it down, with him being so picky, it’s been nice to see him enjoying something. Highly recommended trying with your picky dog.
