Merrick was born over 30 years ago in Garth Merrick’s family kitchen in Hereford, Texas. That’s when Garth began home-cooking food for his beloved dog, Gracie, to make sure she was eating the most wholesome and nutritious food possible. We’ve grown quite a bit since then—we have a lot more recipes for dogs and cats and a much bigger team—but we still hold true to the vision and beliefs that started it all. At Merrick, we work hard to help every pet live the healthiest, happiest life possible. We know it’s not just food in that bowl; it’s love. And that’s why it has to be the best.
