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.

Kitties LOVE this
By MozartxIsis on Jan 14, 2021
I been needing a better diet for my 2 cats as I have slacked with their dietary needs. I have an almost 2 yr old and a 7 yr old so finding a diet to meet both of their needs is a bit difficult. They LOVE this switch. The freeze dried pieces are a good size (even for my small girl) and there are a few per each scoop. They also had a TON of energy after eating which is important for my older boy. And my girl is full after eating whereas before she would scarf her food and always seem hungry on her previous diet. I hope I can see great skin and fur results for Isis after a month of feeding. Definitely recommend

I swear by Merrick
By April on Dec 1, 2020
My cat is about 1 1/2 and is an indoor/outdoor cat. He is extremely active and is very hunting/protecting and exploration oriented. This food keeps him strong and healthy. It maintains nutrient levels that are able to keep up with his activity levels while he’s outdoors. He absolutely loves the food, but will sift through and eat all the raw infused pieces first and leave the rest until he’s really hungry.

A hit with Momo
By Knerq on Jan 19, 2021
My cat loves this food! Which is great since she is allergic to chicken and it's difficult to find cat food that doesn't contain poultry.

Cats Love the Food/Great service
By tannachtonfarm on Jul 11, 2020
Have purchased this product before because the cats love this food. It's made in the USA - one of the very few pet foods made in the States. Chewy.com shipped quickly and without incident. Thanks!

Not what I was expecting
By Daisy on May 17, 2020
I thought this was going to be the freeze dried raw chunks, but it's dry kibble with only a few (not even 1 per 1/2 cup) of the freeze dried mixed in. My cat doesn't like it very much.

Sorry but NO
By Justme on Mar 11, 2020
Oh my I was pretty surprised but my cat said a huge NO to this food. I bought this on sale and didn’t get to open it until a few days ago. The raw infused pieces are way to big for my cat. He picks them up and spits them out.

Cats won't eat it!
By ukcat on Dec 19, 2019
Got this for my younger cat who will eat anything. Two older cats are eating Blue Buffalo RX diets. None of the cats will touch this, even when their bowls are empty and it's past dinner time. They are not picky eaters. Had high expectations, but unfortunately this food fell short, would not recommend.

Not their favorite...
By Sisu344 on Dec 21, 2019
I have 5 cats who eat canned at night and dry during the day. They ate this at first but are no longer interested in it. The freeze dried raw pieces are huge! I mean no one eats those. I actually give them to the dogs. Will not buy again.

Merrick Cat Food
By CatScratchingPost on Jan 16, 2020
My cats really like this dry cat food. They gobble it up in the morning then they start begging for more and I have to put my foot down.
