Our verdict
⚡ Best for Active Dogs
The tradeoff: The calorie density that suits a working dog will fatten a sedentary one.
+ What it gets right
- + Deboned beef first — genuinely protein-dense
- + Soft and chewy, so they work mid-activity
- + Grain-free with no corn, wheat, or soy
- + Cooked in Merrick's own US kitchens
− Where it falls short
- − Calorie-dense — the wrong treat for a couch dog
- − 6 oz bag empties quickly
- − Softness means they clump in a warm pocket

Why this pick won
