Review: Quality is very good. - These envelopes are good quality and easy to seal.
Review: Healthy Grains Healthy Doggy - We switched Merrick healthy grains for our yorkie and are satisfied with the results. The kibbles are small and easy for her to chew. The sound softer than our previous brand lol. Our lady seems happier and healthier as she’s able to chew them without an issue. The kibbles are fresh and last a long time. These are prices bit in my opinion worth the extra cost. They don’t smell bad so our dog doesn’t smell bad. (The previous brand smelled bad and our lady would smell like the food we are what we eat) I highly recommend Merck healthy grains
