What is the difference between Merrick grain-based and grain-free foods?
Some pets develop food intolerances or food allergies and grains can be difficult for a pet's stomach and intestines to break down. If your pet has a sensitive stomach, our Grain Free recipes can help their digestive system problems. At Merrick, our Grain Free recipes feature higher levels of proteins, omegas, glucosamine and chondroitin.
Do Merrick’s Grain Free recipes contain fillers and chemicals?
We are committed to using only the purest ingredients in our recipes. Our recipes contain no ingredients from China; no poultry by-products; no artificial additives or preservatives; no artificial flavors or colors; no corn, wheat or soy; and no glutens. We've excluded these ingredients because we believe pet food should be fuel, not filler.

I Love Merrick!!
By Tholl on Jan 26, 2019
We adopted a cat and I had to go out of town for 3 months so she was only being fed dry food. When I came back, I tried incorporating wet and she was not having it! About a year later, we adopted another baby and decided on Merrick Back Country Kitten for her. After trying several different flavors for our 1 year old, she finally started eating this flavor and the chicken and trout. Thank you Merrick for making something our baby will finally eat!!

It’s a hit.

Good stuff
By DMSF on Mar 3, 2019
My two very particular cats like it and eat it right up. They will only eat chunky type food and this fits the bill. It also comes in rabbit flavor, which is their all time long standing favorite.

Picky Cat happy at last
By MINIME on Dec 3, 2018
I have an 18 year old Orange tabby male he is extremely picky and very vocal he doesn't really like to share his food and this has become his ultimate Favorite a little on the pricey side but well worth it to keep my picky eater quiet!!

Great ingredients, Cats love it
By Prllucky13 on Aug 28, 2018 Top 100 Contributor
In the past I have waisted so much cat food that was uneaten. My cats always liked dry food better, but my male cat started having urinary tract issues. I finally found a food that my cats will devour no waisted food.

Delish Whitefish
By Junemom on May 23, 2018 Top 1000 Contributor
Cat really seems to like this. If she continues to like it (she's only had two pouches so far) then it will be a definite re-purchase.

licks the bowl clean
By mumei on Feb 27, 2018
I really wanted a wet food, which Orijen/Acana only have kibble, so this is the next best brand on my list. I prefer pouches over cans because they're easier to open and get the food out of. Plus cans always smell funky, but this smells like what it is.

Picky feline devours...
By Chickita on Apr 12, 2018
Our picky eater loooooooves this food! Normally he just licks the gravy, but with this he actually eats the nuggets.

My cat absolutely loves this!
By DobbyTheSphynx on Aug 24, 2017
I have a sphynx (hairless cat) and they eat A LOT. Like twice the amount of food that a "regular" cat does. I've been feeding him Merrick packets since he was a kitten and he gets sick of them so I have tried almost all of them. This one is his favorite! It smells pretty fishy (obviously!) but he eats allll of it and gets super excited when he smells it. Would highly recommend it :) But honestly with all the flavors just try them out and see what your cat prefers!

Pass for my kitty
By Jean on Jul 24, 2017
Got a new kitty and we have been testing out various foods to see what he likes. He's not a fan of pates so I was hoping these "real" cuts would have tuna-like texture. They came out in rubbery diced cubes that didn't seem remotely appetizing. My cat wouldn't touch it. I mixed it in with another canned food that actually did have real meat strips and he just ate around these whitefish cubes. Will not be getting again.
