Overview
Merrick Lil' Plates Dinner Duos is a grain-free wet food variety pack for small-breed adult dogs, pairing beef stew and chicken pot pie style recipes in chunks and gravy, sold as 12 tubs totaling 42 ounces.
The listing's own item name lists 3.5 oz tubs rather than the 3.5 lb figure in the title, and the total unit count of 42 ounces confirms the smaller size, so buyers should expect single-serving tubs sized for small dogs rather than large tubs. It ranks number 72 in Canned Dog Food with a 4.4 rating across 428 reviews.
- 12 tubs per pack, 42 oz total
- Grain-free chunks in gravy
- Beef stew and chicken pot pie flavors
- Built for small-breed adult dogs
Who it's for
Owners of small-breed adult dogs who want portioned, grain-free wet food with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives and rotating beef and chicken flavors. Less suited to large-breed households needing bulk feeding tubs.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Grain-free, no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives
- Two flavors in one variety pack: beef stew and chicken pot pie style
- Portioned tubs sized for small breeds
- Title states 3.5 lb tubs but the unit count math indicates roughly 3.5 oz tubs, worth confirming before buying
- Tub size too small for large-breed feeding without multiple tubs per meal
Performance notes
Each tub is sized as a single small-breed serving rather than a multi-meal container, which suits portion control but means larger dogs would need several tubs per meal, and the chunks-in-gravy texture is built for small mouths rather than dry kibble style feeding.
