What our customers have to say
-
Having started on the MERA puppy food (Junior 1 and Junior 2), my 3 now adult dogs are all on MERA Agility and have absolutely thrived from day 1. I wanted a good quality, wheat-free diet and I was very particular in researching and choosing MERA, as all my pups came from very compromised circumstances and 2 were chronically under-nourished. I chose Agility for their adult feed, as their lifestyle is extremely active as they go about living their best lives with us, here on the farm. Everybody always remarks about their physical well-being and shiny coats. I am very happy with my MERA choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
What is the difference between the grain-free and rice-based recipes?
Both ranges follow the same Limited Ingredient Diet philosophy and are wheat and gluten-free. The grain-free dog food range uses potato as its carbohydrate source and is suited to dogs with a specific aversion to all grains. The rice-based range uses rice as its carbohydrate source and offers a full life-stage selection from puppy through to senior.
Is MERA PURE Sensitive good for dogs with itchy skin?
Yes. Many food allergies in dogs manifest as skin conditions – itching, redness, and coat problems. Our Herring & Potato recipe is particularly beneficial for skin health, as herring is a natural source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy skin and coat condition. Thousands of dogs have found relief from itchy skin on MERA PURE Sensitive.
What is the best food for puppies with allergies?
The PURE Sensitive Turkey & Rice Puppy and Junior variants are developed specifically for puppies with food sensitivities, using turkey as a single lean protein source alongside easily digestible rice. It contains no wheat, no gluten, and no artificial additives.
Is MERA PURE Sensitive suitable for dogs with Leishmaniasis?
MERA PURE Sensitive Turkey & Potato’s limited ingredient recipes may be a suitable option for dogs with Leishmaniasis, depending on the severity and your vet’s recommendations. We always recommend consulting your veterinarian before making changes to a Leishmaniasis dog’s diet.
