If any of you feed Merrick, I came across this when researching for a raw blog I write. Be careful. It is not beign recalled or publicized

Megan thanks for the heads up I have been feeding mine Merrick dry food.

We do feed Merrick! Thanks for the heads-up! It would be nice to hear the Merrick was more concerned, however, with the onslaught of hoaxes like human fingers found in fast food and whatnot, I can also see why they would dismiss this.

When you've lived awhile, you get to see a lot. We have found a black beetle in a blueberry vogurt cup and a metal shard in a box of cereal once. That's all I can think of right now.

My biggest concern is that these nails do not look like something that would fall off of a machine or something that has actually gone through the processing. That means that if the accuser did not add them to their dog's food, then someone at the company in the packing area might have. In other words, this just doesn't seem to be an accident...

Hope it's nothing...

Scary! I don't feed Merrick, but it was my first choice until I came to this forum.

A few years ago, I read a story about people finding cheese cubes that had nails stuck in them at dog parks! It could have been a hoax, but I saw pictures. Ever since I read that, I always closely watch what my pup is doing at the park and the people that walk in there.

I don't mean to scare anyone, but I would pay more attention. People these days...

Well, being the person I am, I took it upon myself to call them.

I asked and got put on hold for quite some time. I am assuming its due to the customer service associate having NO IDEA what I was talking about.

Now, I'm waiting for a call back from the manager because the associate said: "I'm not advised to speak on the matter, I will have my manager call you back when she is off the other line."
