About Merrick
Merrick believes whole foods not only taste better, but are better for your pet, and handmade recipes are much better than scientific formulas. That's why Merrick's been making pet food in their own kitchen for more than 25 years. Produced in small batches, each recipe is closely monitored to ensure it delivers the perfect balance of nutrients guaranteed right on the label. Merrick makes food to be fuel, not filler, and their wide variety of protein-rich dry and canned foods and treats means your pet will enjoy every second of his meal.
Merrick doesn't use any BPA in their cans. They are tin coated steel (inside and outside) with an organic coating over the tin on the inside of the can.
is this a pate? or is it slices of chicken or chunks of chicken?
Answer by • Aug 30, 2017
The texture of this formula is pate.
Do you offer Merick grain-free chicken in the smaller (2.8 ounce) cans? My cat won't eat the food after the can has been open for more than a day.
Answer by • Feb 13, 2018
At this time this formula is only available in a 5 ounce can.
In this description the cans say food is approved for "all life stages" but on the cans I received when I ordered this food it reads "adult". My cat is still a kitten, so I confused: is it only for adults, or is it for all life stages, including kittens?
Answer by • Jan 12, 2021
This recipe is formulated to meet the nutritional levels for All Life Stages, including kittens.
My cat ended up having an aversion to the prescribed food he was on and we went through several different brands of wet food, many of which upset his stomach. We wanted a low protein wet food as well and found this! My cat loves it, good ingredients, low protein, only 1% more than the prescribed food which is easier on my 17y/o kitty's kidneys. So greatful to find this after a long struggle and my cat is gaining weight. Highly recommended!

Not even a contender :-(
Sadly, my dear cat said a big No! I give her 3 different choices at each meal as she's almost 20 years old and only 5 lbs. For whatever reason, this one was ignored. I just keep trying anything that sounds yummy, so Chewy is great for that; many choices.

My old nan cats -approve
Used to by Merrick years ago but stopped because the boys stopped eating it. Decided to by the LI Chicken. It’s a hit. They clean their bowls and come back looking for more.
Thank you!!

recipe changed
I bought 2 packs, 48 cans. It’s too watery, not like the old ones which had dense pate textures. Cat refused to eat. What a waste of money.

Cats like it.
Don't need a LID but tried it for a change. All cats not on raw like it.
Gave four stars because the consistency of Merricks pates can change case to case.

Food has changed
My cats only eat Merrick, Chicken pate and Chicken limited ingredient, because it is what they have loved for years. However they won't eat some cans now, especially the recent case of limited ingredient chicken. Neither one of them (always very hungry and good eaters) would touch the stuff. Something has changed in this formula or the entire case was spoiled. I noticed from the prior reviews this has happened to other customers. Now I have an entire case they won't eat. Cats aren't happy and neither am I.

Wow...cat loved this.
I thought my cat was going to knock me over to get at this food. I popped the top and when he got a wiff of the contents he started screaming his fool head off. In the time it took me to walk 14 feet across the room he was clawing at me to get it in his dish. To say he devoured this food is an understatement.
He's usually a nibbler. Not with this food. He woofed it down like a dog!

Poor quality
Ever since it came back in stock, poor quality. Too thick, cat can't eat it. And price continues to increase and quality decrease. Merrick has now lost me as customer for all of our pets.

My Mo loves this!
Our usual cat food was out of stock for my last order so I was in a panic mode since Mo's digestive system is very sensitive to change in diet. I am having some trouble with her change over to this food, which is very similar to her normal LID Chix/Peas food. Mo took to this very quickly! She begs for it. It is a little "soupy" for a pate but she loves it that way.
I don't truly ever "run out" of her food so luckily stocked an extra case so the plan was to change her over slowly but I am having issues with changing even with the slow progression and she does not like pumpkin but again, I do not blame this food, rather her sensitive system.
I would highly recommend Merrick LID Real Chicken Recipe.

very dry batch sent to me that my cats will not eat
got a bad batch; very dry -- normally juicier - and my boys will not eat it.
