What kind of protein is used in Merrick recipes?

We know that our pets thrive on quality protein and fat. That's why our recipes start with real, protein-packed high-quality USDA certified meats and fresh caught fish to support the growth of lean muscle, improved skin and coat health, and a healthy immune system. We only use high-quality, deboned meats sourced from USDA-inspected facilities. If you are interested in learning more about a specific recipe, we have included the Ingredients list as well as the Guaranteed Analysis for each recipe on our website.
