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.

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 DaisyLu 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 Kelly 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 SueB 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.

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.

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.
