Inspired by different regions, Merrick Pet Care created a line of Slow-Cooked BBQ dog food bowls made with all-natural ingredients. Each of the recipes features meat as a base, plus vegetables in a savory broth to create varieties like Texas Style with Braised Beef or Kansas City Style with Chopped Pork.
To support shelter dogs, Merrick Pet Care is kicking off a new campaign called BBQ 4 Good. As Barbara Liss, Vice President of Marketing for Merrick Pet Care, describes, "While interest in pet adoption has never been higher, local shelters need our support more than ever. At the same time, local restaurants have faced significant challenges this year." Restaurants, shelters and food delivery platforms are participating in the campaign.
