It’s time to celebrate. Your family and dogs have gathered around the table for one of your world famous cookouts (minus the burnt wieners and too yellow potato salad). Your prized beef and favorite side dishes are ready to be feasted upon. Merrick uses premium beef as the main protein in Cowboy Cookout. Delicious veggies are added in after the kibble cooking process to maximize the nutritional benefit and add variety to your dog's diet. Merrick folds in bite size pieces of Sweet Potatoes, Peas and Carrots. Farm fresh apples and blueberries are first on the list of healthy fruits that are added to all of the entrees. Finally, Merrick adds a balanced blend of chelated minerals which are more easily absorbed by the body than regular minerals.

Merrick foods feature their Elements, a mix of three unique food additives comprised of natural ingredients. Each Element is formulated to address major health issues concerning dog owners today....joint, vision, and breath.

Merrick's Vision Elements are primarily made from rice, sweet potato, carrot, and marigold. Vision Elements are naturally orange in color and and provide a large dose of antioxidants, beta-cartoene, and lutein. This combination supports the health of the individual parts of your dog's eye. Breath Elements are made from rice, white potato, peas, alfalfa extract, parsley, and fennel. Breath elements are naturally green in color and the combination supports your dog's overall oral health. The white Joint Elements are made from rice, white potato, and apples. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate are added to support healthy joints, slowing or stopping the loss of cartilage.

Cowboy Cookout is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food nutrient profiles for all life stages.
