ask them if they have a rendering plant on the same premises? Also i found rat poop in my dogs vet food and i sent it to them and they sent me coupons as well. I am stuck with this vet food due to my dogs condition unfortunately but i was upset about it. I just know two dogs that had stomach cancer that ate only merrick food. The owner of Merrick is always lobbying to put rendering parts into the food legally but since the plant is there it is probably happening already. --Google it and see. I spread this as one of the yorkie ladies i know her dog ate this and had a softball size tumor in his stomach removed and he died a few months later as it was cancer. Another lady on a maltese group said her dog had several stomach tumors removed and all she fed was merrick. I cannot help but beleive it is tied to the food. The book foods pets die for goes over rendering plants and how they put diseased meat in dog food and Merrick is lobbying for this constantly and has both a pet food manufacturing company and a rendering plant he owns.

I feed Merrick canned (New Zealand Summer Sausage) and Grammy's Pot Pie kibble. Kissi loves both. She has IBS and I have to be very careful what I feed her...she has done very well on both products. One of the things I also like about Merrick products is when/if you have a problem/question you can pick up the phone and talk with a real live person, and if that person does not have the answer to your question they will do their best to find the answer and call you back. I have been told that their ingredients are human grade even though I do not believe they advertise this. Also, if you call them about anything they always send you coupons for discounts or free products. We questioned ONE can several months ago and were sent a coupon for an entire case of the product (about $30 worth). They do seem to stand behind their products.
good luck,
