Our take on the Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Great Plains Red Recipe with Healthy Grains Dry Dog Food

Merrick Backcountry Raw Infused Great Plains Red Recipe is a dry dog food that mixes kibble with freeze-dried raw beef and lamb pieces. It uses deboned beef and lamb first, adds healthy grains like brown rice and oatmeal, and includes glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support. It suits owners who want raw-style feeding without a fully raw diet. Against grain-free rivals it offers grains for sensitive digestion, but it costs more than basic kibbles and some dogs pick out the raw pieces.

Questions and answers

Is this a fully raw diet?
No. It is dry kibble with freeze-dried raw pieces mixed in. It gives raw-style variety without the handling of a fully raw diet.
Is it good for puppies and senior dogs?
Yes. It is labeled for all life stages, so puppies and seniors can eat it. Ask your vet about portion size for large-breed puppies.
Does it contain grains?
Yes. It includes brown rice, oatmeal and other healthy grains. That makes it an option for dogs that do not do well on grain-free food.
What are the main proteins?
Deboned beef and lamb lead the recipe, with beef and lamb meal. Beef and lamb are common allergens, so check with your vet if your dog has had reactions.
Does it help with joints?
It includes glucosamine and chondroitin, which support joint health. It is not a substitute for veterinary care in dogs with joint disease.
How should I switch my dog to it?
Transition over seven to ten days, mixing increasing amounts with the old food. Slow switching lowers the chance of stomach upset.
