Are any Merrick products currently being recalled?
No. None of Merrick Pet Care's recipes are being recalled.
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.

My go-to mixer.
By MaddieAndMeows on May 9, 2019
I like the Merrick brand, and I like to rotate the food I give my three cats to cover all the nutritional bases. I bought a bag of this to try, and mixed it with the RC Indoor Formula. It's good stuff and it gets eaten, so I will buy it again. One cat is always first to the refilled dish and he loves the freeze-dried chunks - digging them out of the bowl if he has to. I'm not sure if the others would like them - they've never had the chance. The Velcro-like closure on the bag is handy.

Solved my cat's diarrhea problems!
By Wren on Mar 24, 2019
Because my cat seemed to be allergic to chicken, I was going nuts trying to find a dry food with no chicken, and a moderate carb content for a reasonable price. This checks those boxes, which is much more difficult to achieve than you would think. I know it's a bit expensive, but I'm feeding less than I was before, so I think it equals out. It also contains 41% protein with peas as the FIFTH ingredient, which means that most of the protein is coming from the fish ingredients, and 11% moisture for a dry food. Truly a quality food.

Good stuff.
By Triangle on May 9, 2019
My cat liked it. She seems to think the Raw-dry bits are treats, Personally what caught my attention was the "poultry free" Part, On the Pacific catch.

By Edie on May 6, 2019

Cats Love This Food!
By Stephanie on Mar 13, 2019
My cats like this kibble, but they love the freeze dried raw parts of this food. They BEG me to fill their bowls even when they aren't yet empty because they want more of the free dried raw parts.
-
eh, it's ok
By AliP on Feb 8, 2019
I bought this because our usual dry food wasn't available; my cats like the food itself fine, but they carefully leave the raw bits behind - they apparently don't get the appeal. for the price, it seems very wasteful, so I'll try something new next time.

My cats love this!
By Lunetic on Feb 1, 2019
The ingredients are great, all three of my cats will gobble it up. They like the freeze dried pieces. I feed my cats both wet and dry, and I like to change up the brands but keep one food consistent. This has been a consistent dry food I always have.

My cats won’t eat it
By Robin on Jan 31, 2019
This was a new food I haven’t tried before, first one my cats won’t eat. I usually use Blue Wilderness or Merrick or Whole Earth Farms, they love those. I have four cats and none of them liked it.
