Merrick Classic Grain Free Chicken Recipe
A premium grain-free option that stands out in subscriptions targeting owners who prioritize limited grains and high real-meat inclusion; its richer protein and fat profile often allows for smaller measured portions per meal. Compared to Hill's and Natural Balance, Merrick trades off slightly higher subscription price for premium ingredients and denser nutrition, appealing to customers willing to pay more for grain-free benefits. The technical advantage is its calorie-per-can density and ingredient transparency, which can simplify portion-size guidance for premium-tier subscription plans.
