December 15, 2022 - My puppy loves this food. I think that If she could open the food holder she would finish it off.
Even the 13 year old yorkie begs for it. And she’s a fussy eater.MERA Essential Junior 1 - Puppy All Breeds Dog Food (12.5kg)Elsie
August 2, 2024 I have tried so many brands of dog food for my Golden retriever, but he had constant problems with his gut till i started ordering Mera Sensitive Junior Turkey & Rice Dog Food. He has been on it for a couple of months already and i can honestly say it's the best dog food on the market as most Goldens have allergies for chicken. Happy to find Turkey in SA.

March 17, 2026 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.

January 24, 2022 This is one of three products we use from Mera, we also have one of our babies on the essential range and will give our new baby arriving the 29th of December the puppy food as well. Since we started feeding them Mera we have seen a remarkable improvement in their coats and appetite, and also their waste is alot better to handle. Thank you very much for the great quality food you make. MERA PURE Sensitive Turkey & Rice Dog FoodPhilip
December 8, 2021 We swopped to the senior food when Honey showed signs of slowing down and seemed to be stiff after lying down. The slowness and stiffness have gone. Honey made the transition to the new food with no digestive issues - a big plus for a GSD. MERA Essential Senior - Adult Senior Diet Dog Food (12.5kg)Jenny

My dog loves this food. He's only been eating it for a month but he seems to really enjoy the different sizes and textures of the pellets. He's also looking really good, coat is shiny and he's in great shape. We will definitely be trying out some of the other Meradog products!

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.
