About Merrick Limited Ingredient Diet

Only the Best Ingredients Make the Cut

Merrick's Limited Ingredient Diet recipes are specially formulated with a limited number of carefully selected ingredients to provide complete and balanced nutrition for your cat with food sensitivities. They provide all the nutrition you'd expect from Merrick, with very few ingredients.

Single Protein, Tons of Nutrition

These recipes keep it simple with a single source of animal protein — including salmon, turkey, chicken or duck — and easily digestible carbohydrates, for the perfect balance of ingredients. They are formulated to deliver a range of important vitamins, minerals and fatty acids necessary for the overall well-being of your cat.

Fresh Ingredients Are In

The finest, freshest ingredients included in these flavorful blends are harvested from local ranchers and farmers for quality and sustainability assurance. And all recipes include no meat by-products or artificial preservatives.

Specially Formulated for Cats With Food Sensitivities

  • No Corn, Wheat or Soy
  • No Dairy
  • No Eggs
  • No Grains
  • No Gluten Ingredients

Fresh, Whole Food Ingredients

Merrick uses the freshest, highest quality ingredients from trusted farmers and ranchers, and their recipes never include additives, sweeteners, colors or preservatives.

GROUND FLAXSEED

Delivers the right amount of healthy fats from omega-3 and 6 fatty acids to provide energy and maintain healthy skin.

POTATOES

Great source of B vitamins, carbohydrates, zinc, vitamin C, copper, iron, magnesium, niacin and potassium.

YUCCA SCHIDERA EXTRACTIG

Supplies good quantities of iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium and silicon, and is thought to reduce stool and urine odors.

ORGANIC ALFALFA

Rich source of calcium and serves as a good source of fiber, vitamins and carotene.

Inconsistent

Our girl has been eating Merrick pate's for YEARS. But the inconsistency is now enough to drive us cat parents crazy! This was yet another case she wouldn't eat

Our girl has been eating Merrick pate's for YEARS. But the inconsistency is now enough to drive us cat parents crazy! This was yet another case she wouldn't eat. After trying so many different cans from the case....just in case (pun intended) ;) .....we have given up on it and the rest we donated to the shelter where we adopted our little "furry tuxedo" six years ago this month. The same had happened with the Rabbit and the Turkey, but the chicken recipe HAD stayed true to her palette. Looking into different brands now. It's a bummer, because ingredient wise there was much to love about this food. Especially being Carrageenan free.

Made both cats sick

Both of my cats loved this cat food. I gave it to them for breakfast and they gobbled it up, but later on the 3rd day they both began vomiting, one of them repeatedly and violently. It was the first time he’d ever been sick in the 6 years I’ve had him. Nothing had changed except for them eating this for breakfast.

6 month old feral kittens we rescued were vomiting and had loose stools. Tested negative for worms and leukemia. Finally figured out that it was food related. They really like the Merrick Chicken Limited Ingredient. The turkey flavor, not at all. Also switched their kibble. That's in another review.

Terrific ingredients and texture. I add 2-3 tablespoons of water and mush it up before serving, so they get more hydration in their diet. Both cats really like this

Sissi(10 yr) gets sick every time she eats. She has a nervous stomach. I’ve tried everything. This had good reviews so I tried it. So far it has worked! 5 days and hasn’t gotten sick. Fingers crossed. It is a little expensive but cheaper then a vet bill for a monthly shot!

Tasty & Delicious!

Max is a pate kitty and this is one of his favorites. Love that it has limited ingredients. As others have mentioned, some of the cans in a case may have dents but it hasn't affected the quality of the food inside. I think Merrick uses a much thinner metal. They open super easy, though, which is nice. It's more expensive than other brands but based on the ingredients and the fact that Max loves it -- it's worth it to me.

My Ace was diagnosed feline diabetic a few years, which would mean blood-sugar testing and shots (yikes!). In the interest of educating myself on this disease I ran across a great group of other parents of diabetic fur babies. Of all that I learned there, the most helpful was the special dietary needs. I began feeding Ace the limited ingredients food and his diabetes has gone into complete remission. NO MORE NEEDLES!!! Now, I can't conclusively claim that this cured him, but it certainly was a pivotal point in his health. I couldn't be more grateful. Ace wil turn 19 years old in Sept and I hope he can stick around for a while.
