How to Manage the Merrick Dog Food Recall the Easy Way

Finding out that the manufacturer recalled your pet's food could leave you worried, frustrated, and in many cases, unsure what to do next. Was your dog harmed by eating the harmful food? How can you manage your pet food budget if you need to dispose of uneaten food? Like recalls in the healthcare, fitness, and food industries, pet food recalls usually offer compensation to refund the purchase.

DoNotPay can make it much easier to handle the Merrick Dog Food recall.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Merrick Dog Food Recall?

Was your dog food recalled when Merrick Dog Food recalled the beef-based treats for the dog food line in 2018? If so, you may need to:

1. Contact customer service for Merrick Dog Food at 1-800-664-7387 between 8 am and 5 pm Central Time.
2. Email customerservice@merrickpetcare.com.

You will need to provide information about the treats you purchased and when you purchased them to file a claim.

Unfortunately, to file a claim through Merrick Dog Food on your own, you will need to take advantage of the specific customer service hours when Merrick customer service representatives are available. You may also have a long wait to get your refund in your hands.

Why Did the Merrick Dog Food Recall Occur?

The Merrick Dog Food recall occurred on several beef treats manufactured by the Merrick Dog Food company, including:

Manufacturers recalled these products because of the excessive thyroid hormone levels of the beef treats.

Dogs who consume high levels of beef thyroid hormone may show a variety of symptoms, including:

• Increased thirst
• Higher rates of urination
• Restlessness
• Increased heart rate
• Weight loss
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea

If a pet has consumed those products and has dangerous symptoms, pet owners should contact their vet's office as soon as possible to help resolve symptoms.

Will I Get an Automatic Refund if I Report My Merrick Dog Food Purchase?

In many cases, you can obtain an immediate refund when you submit your recalled Merrick Dog Food information. However, it can take time to verify your purchase. If you do not offer the correct information, you may have difficulty getting your refund.
