Merrick - Lil’ Plates Petite Pate Turkey Canned Dog Food
Description
TL;DR: Merrick Lil' Plates Petite Pate Turkey Canned Dog Food is a soft, pate-style wet food featuring turkey, portioned for small and toy breeds. Serve it as a complete meal or spoon it over kibble as a topper to boost moisture and palatability.
The Lil' Plates line is built around small-breed feeding habits. The smooth pate is easy to scoop, easy to chew, and simple to mix with dry food.
Turkey leads the recipe, giving it a milder flavour profile that tends to suit picky small dogs. It's a practical choice for households that rotate proteins through the week.

Who is it for?
This recipe is intended for small and toy breed adult dogs whose appetites and jaws do best with smaller, softer servings. It's also a good pick for owners who want to rotate proteins or use wet food as a topper rather than a full meal.
If you head out for long walks or spend time at the dog park near me searches turn up around the GTA, a pate topper is an easy way to keep food motivation high at mealtime back home.
Want to rotate flavours?
If you like to vary proteins across the week, pair this turkey recipe with Merrick - Lil' Plates Petite Pate Lamb Dinner Canned Dog Food or Merrick - Lil' Plates Petite Pate Chicken Dinner Canned Dog Food. For another small-breed-friendly wet option, consider Weruva - I'm in Luck Wet Dog Food.
Feeding & use
Serve at room temperature. As a standalone meal, follow Merrick's feeding guide on the can based on your dog's weight; as a topper, start with a spoonful or two over your dog's regular kibble and adjust so you don't overshoot daily calories.
Introduce any new food gradually over 5–7 days by mixing increasing amounts with the current food. Refrigerate any unused portion in a covered container and use within a couple of days.
