Overview
This is the 7 ounce pouch of Merrick's Grain Free Bone Broth in chicken flavor, the smaller size of the same human-grade broth topper Merrick sells in a 16 ounce pouch.
Formulated without grain, pea, potato, gluten, wheat or soy, it is meant to be poured over a dog or cat's regular food to add moisture and flavor rather than serve as a meal on its own. The smaller pouch suits single-pet households or anyone trying the broth before buying the larger size.
- 7 oz pouch, chicken flavor
- Grain-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free
- Human-grade broth topper
- Suitable for dogs and cats
Who it's for
Good for owners who want to test the broth or only need a small amount at a time, such as single-pet homes or picky eaters getting occasional encouragement. Households feeding multiple pets or using the broth daily will go through a 7 ounce pouch quickly.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Smaller 7 ounce size for occasional use or trial
- Grain-free and free of wheat, soy and gluten
- Works for both dogs and cats
- Smaller pouch means more frequent repurchasing for regular use
- Topper only, not a complete diet
Performance notes
The broth pours directly over kibble or wet food with no heating required, adding scent and moisture that can help draw a reluctant eater to the bowl.
