Merrick Backcountry Grain-Free Morsels in Gravy Real Duck, Chicken, Turkey Recipe Cuts Variety Pack Cat Food Pouches , 3-oz, case of 12

I have tried higher quality expensive food, limited ingredient foods, and spent so much money trying to find a way to transition my small adult cat away from tuna-based foods because of the mercury content in large fish. He will hunger strike when transitioning foods, and I break days in well before his little 5 lb toothless adult self does... This is his favorite, and we will use this to get him used to more land animal based foods. Bonus points for affordability, and it gets a pass in terms of quality from both a relatively health conscious and label-reading human caretaker and a cat who just wants what is bad for him. It's probably not the 100% best for him, but he refuses peak nutritional I have tried higher quality expensive food, limited ingredient foods, and spent so much money trying to find a way to transition my small adult cat away from tuna-based foods because of the mercury content in large fish.

I have always liked Merrick and my dog is getting canned Merrick on his dry food. So tried this for my cats. They like it but I've noticed any pouch cat food leaves food behind and can be messy to deal with. The food itself is very appealing and I'm happy to see my 3 senior cats enjoy it.

This is the sort of pack that if I had a dog and poured this out on his dry food, he may think it was his birthday! My cats think that it smells like I do...sort of charred and oddly camp-firey. They don't like this at all.

I have 3 fussy eaters and they all gobble this up. It’s one of the very few more expensive brands they’ll actually eat consistently, in all forms. Definitely recommend Backcountry flavors if you’re trying to keep a variety of proteins on rotation for your fur balls.

The cats keep coming back for the Merrick back country packs. It has slightly different size pieces than Merrick’s bistro chicken and has the right amount of gravy.

My cats LOVE this food as a topping over their canned food, and they’ll eat food they don’t particularly like as long as this is on top of it. I only wish there was another variety pack with the other flavors because their favorite is the Rabbit.

Unfortunately, my other two do not. The cats divide into two groups -- the pro-plan/fancy feast crew and the new age cat. He likes purer organic foods that the others turn up their nose at. But he loves this stuff.

However, our fussy cats do not like this one....they will eat it, but it takes them all night to finish. Had to go back to another product.

It’s very hard to find something both of my kittens will eat, they both enjoy every flavor of these pouches except the beef one - this variety pack doesn’t contain the beef :)

I have two male brothers who love this food so much they can’t wait for me to put it down. I haven’t found a flavor they don’t like. It comes in pouches which makes it easy to dispense, but aren’t recyclable - that’s the only downside.
