Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Premium Canned Pate Adult Wet Cat Food, Variety Pack, Chicken, Duck, Turkey - (Pack of 12) 5.5 oz. Cans

We have 4 cats ranging from a 21 lb Maine Coon to a tiny 6 Lb, 9 month old rescue. Before switching to this cat food I tried many other "healthy brands" which one or more of my cats so I kept looking for one that all my cats would enjoy. I started feeding them Merrick canned and dry over 7 months ago and have noticed great improvement in their coats, even our big shaggy Maine Coon (who now doesn't require as much grooming as before), their activity level and their overall health. They eat less because the high protein does the job to satisfy them, no more begging between meals :-).My Vet is adamant about grain free as he has seen over his many years in practice that the majority of cats on Grain included and Dry cat food have developed diabetes. We do give our cats Merrick Dry for a night-time snack because they like the crunchy taste but we stick to the canned for the bulk of their diet.One thing that I'll mention, which is not a "con" for this product but is worth mentioning. On Merrick, as with other foods, they all still had smelly poops. I started adding a feline digestive enzyme to the cans of Merrick at each meal and there is now practically no smell. Both canned and Dry cat food of any brand cannot add this enzyme into the recipe because it breaks down and is ineffective by the time it reaches your pet. Just as with humans a digestive enzyme is most effective fresh at meal times so it needs to be added just before eating. Besides the better aroma in the house, your pet will get more health benefits from this well made cat food if an enzyme is added, just make sure that it is a Feline Enzyme, Dogs are different animals. Don't feed your cat an enzyme made for dogs or one that claims to work for both cats and dogs. Go feline all the way!!Last, but not the least, all 4 cats love this food and there are so many wonderful and healthy flavors to choose from. Our cats will remain on Merrick for a long and healthy life.

I have a cat that doesn’t drink enough water to thrive on a dry diet so we made the move to wet only. Feeding Merrick dry, moving to Merrick cans was a no brainer. We have at this point had 6+ shipments of Merrick delivered to our door and the quality has been consistent with each batch.We have had a few dents in some cans but such is to be expected in transit. So far none have broken the seal on the cans, but like ANY canned food if the seal on the can is broken, you can expect a disgusting mess to be in that can.Reviewing on transit errors isn’t reviewing on the food itself and its sad that its review is being damaged by people being overly emotional. If they contacted Amazon I’m sure something could have been worked out.That being said this is a fantastic food and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My 4 cats sure do love this food. I give 4 stars because the Turkey cans are always watery and not very full. I think the quality control is off on the Turkey cans. The duck and chicken is always a solid chunk of meat. I quit buying this variety pack because the Turkey is not up to par.

My vet said I should get this food for both my cats, so she didn't try to go and eat his, since she was more familiar with it. Well, we didn't need to worry about that, she finished all of her Merrick Rabbit pate, and it was her brother who wanted hers!She's done really well with this food. Her fur is growing back nicely (she had lost most of her fur in the back) and she's gaining weight. Her appetite is good. When we first started with the vet food, it was an subscription Urgent Care food, that she stayed on for two months. It was also a 5.5 oz can, and I mixed it with equal amount of pumpkin, per the vet. He wanted her to eat that can with the pumpkin in one day. I had never given her that much food, and thought she would throw up. But she chomped it down, even more so with this food. She can't wait to eat now. I am going to switch my other cat over to this food, its easier, and turned out to be cheaper than the Pro plan!I had never heard about so many different things until my little girl got so sick. Rabbit or Kangaroo food? That's my vet wanted me to find for her. No Kangaroo 🦘food to be had. So I did my research, found about 3 brands to try, and this is the winner.Winner, Winner, rabbit dinner? 🐇🐇😻

I am very stringent in choosing cat food. We spent a while actually purchasing raw meats to feed our cat, but as he is 13, it got a bit daunting after baby #2 arrived. We needed to find an alternative and the options at the grocery store were junk food at best and pure junk at worst!I knew I wanted a wet food, so I went on a search and found Merrick. This comes as a pate with no added sugars. Cat's don't need added sugars. When you open a can, there is the lump of pate and a little 'gravy' around it. We cut ours into quarters and feed 4 times a day, mixing each serving with near equal parts water as cat's don't have a normal thirst drive and generally get their water from their food.Our 13 yo loves it! Keeps his coat nice and shiny. He is still agile and an avid hunter. We have it on subscribe and save, so we set it and forget it.
