It’s the first lick, the wobbly crawl and the cut on your finger from putting it in their mouth when you shouldn’t have. These soft, cuddly friends come into our lives, and we grow with them. They become our friends long before they are housebroken, stop tearing things up and crying in the middle of the night. So Merrick cooked up a special dish with lots of TLC that they think transitions pups nicely from their momma’s milk and welcomes them to earth but still with a firm handshake. At Merrick they call it Puppyhood and without Merrick in their life, well it’s pretty much boredom.
