By Gina on Feb 5, 2020

This new formula is horrible it has more moisture ., but whatever they did they change the taste the smell and Cats refused to eat it what a waste of money!!! They just ruined a great canned food all it needed was more moisture!! Every time is pet companies change formulas they make it worse! Don’t they test it out on cats to see if they like it, obviously not!! my cats love Merrick before Purina It took The new formula is horrible I don’t know what they did to it what they added but they made it worse, It smells terrible and my cats won’t eat it All five of them.

Frustration
By Setta on Apr 8, 2019
I have 2 finicky cats and 1 that will eat anything. One of my finicky cats actually ate this food, but now I see all of the gums that are in the ingredient list, I can't give this to him consistently. The pet food industry is so frustrating that they promote a expensive, healthy food but then add questionable unhealthy ingredients.

Not what I thought
By momof3 on May 15, 2019
This was not the product I thought. My cats like Merrick, but not this one. It is dry and my three won’t eat it unless I mix some moisture type food in it.

Best chicken catfood
By Catmom on May 8, 2019
I went thru every chicken flavored cat food in Petco and Petsmart for my very picky fur babies. This is the only one they would eat more than once. They love it.

Back Country Chicken

Our 3 cats LOVE this chicken canned food. It is their favorite chicken that Merrick makes. We have no problems getting them to eat every last bite or to lick the bowl clean.

Not the quality I’m looking for
By Anastasia on Dec 14, 2018
My cat is going through a lot right now. She has Cushing disease, IBS and low pancreas enzymes. She is on hyper thyroid medicine, prednisone and enzyme powder so because of all this she has lost a lot of weight. She was down to 4.13 pounds so finding a high quality food is important. I was able to get her to 5 pounds and am hoping she gains more weight but this food has given her gas problems and is not something she enjoyed eating. They need to add some kind of gravy to it because it’s dry. If I wasn’t adding pouches to it she wouldn’t touch it. I’m not trying to bad mouth the company because I like the pouches but the cans aren’t for her
