Questions & Answers

14 Customer Questions

Is the pouch resealable? I'd only be using 1/2 a pouch a day, so how should I store the rest?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 11, 2022
These pouches are not resealable. You will want to store any unused portions like they would with their own leftovers. Ideally, transferring the food into an air tight container is the best way to store the food, but as long as they cover the top of the pouch up, not allowing air in, they can store in the pouch itself. This will extend the life of the food by 3-4 days!

What is the calcium and phosphorus ratio？

Answer by Chewy • Mar 23, 2021
This recipe contains approximately 0.26% Calcium and 0.24% Phosphorus on an As-Fed basis. It has an approximate Calcium/Phosphorus ratio of 1.08.

I have bought numerous packages of this variety of Merrick Backcountry in the past. Last box none of my cats would eat. I don't know what happened, because I think this is good food. Nice size pieces, not too big and juice. I still recommend it to try though.

My cats really love the gravy in this food! They lick up all the sauce first and then eat the pieces. I like how easy the pouches are to use (no chance of a key breaking off a can). Merrick makes premium pet foods, so I'm also confident in the ingredients and balancing of the nutrients my cats need.

Yes, Kittens Can Eat This

I see a lot of reviews about the chunks being too big for kittens. My kittens were 8 weeks when I started this, and they are able to eat it just fine. Yes, the chunks

I see a lot of reviews about the chunks being too big for kittens. My kittens were 8 weeks when I started this, and they are able to eat it just fine. Yes, the chunks are bigger than a "bite size" for young kittens, but they absolutely can eat it. The reviews that ding for this are a little off base. Now, as to whether or not kittens will seem to "like" it, thats very subjective. My kittens absolutely love it. I use it as a supplement to dried food, since they are carnivores I want their diets to what they need and not about what I think they should eat. I figured if the kittens didn't like it, well, that happens. Not sure I'd circle back and leave a bad review just because my kittens don't show a like for it. But I have been feeding them this daily for a month now, and they have never left a dish unclean. They have learned the sound of my pulling a pouch out of the box, and they come running. They know where that box is, and the sound of it, and they know what is coming. So I'd say they don't just like it. My kittens are growing quite rapidly, and are very athletic and active, with muscle tone developing. While I certainly can't prove it, my anecdotal observation is that their growth is related to this as a supplement. I have two kittens, and since it is just a supplement, I open a bag and that is enough for the two of them. If I had one kitten, a bag might be a bit much. But rather than give half servings, I'd give the one kitten the entire bag and reduce the dry food as necessary.
