Merrick Grain Free Wet Dog Food

Dad

I got this for you. What's your initial read?

Boldo

It's wet. I can see chunks of actual meat in there, not brown sludge. The bowl went down and I finished it faster than usual. That's your answer.

Dad

Let's talk smells. That always comes first with you.

Boldo

Fine. It smells like beef and liver and something else I can't place but it's making my brain work. Way better than that old stuff you used to buy. The smell is clean, not chemical. I don't hate it.

Dad

You've been weirdly quiet about this one. What's going on?

Boldo

I don't know what you want from me. It's good food. I'm eating it. Speaking of which, is there a treat situation happening right now or are we just doing the review? I thought I smelled peanut butter earlier.

Dad

Does it matter that the cat seems indifferent to it?

Boldo

The cat's indifference actually works in my favor. More for me. She walked past the bowl twice without looking. That tells me this is a dog food, not some compromise product. I respect that.

Dad

Give me a rating. One through five. You know what the poos mean.

Boldo

Four poos. Don't make a thing about it. The meat is real. It doesn't upset my stomach. The smell is legitimately better than competitors. It's expensive and you'll probably complain about the price, but it's worth it. That's all I'm saying.
