Fine food for a sensitive cat
By Aztecfan on Feb 18, 2021
My cat had diarrhea and occasionally spits up food after eating but this diet has changed that behavior. We have had none of those issues on Merrick limited ingredient food. I recommend.

Our kitties are not a fan
By yokamama on Jan 30, 2021
We love Merrick limited ingredient food for our 3 fur babies. Tried salmon to do something different than poultry, but only 1 of the cats would even try it. They prefer the duck and chicken flavors instead, so will stick with those.

good for sensitive tummies
By Ashley on Dec 28, 2020
This food coupled with a prescription dry food has worked wonders for my sensitive tummy cat. He hated the wet version of the same prescription food so i tried this and I’ve seen significant improvement in his stool quality. This is also the biggest hit as far as flavors go with my cats as well.

Great for cats with poultry intolerance
By sakura17yume on Nov 27, 2020
I have one cat who can't have any poultry or it gives him tummy problems. I tried another popular LID salmon, but all of my cats acted so mean/irritable on it compared to any other food they ate. This one they all love and they're so much more chill now. I'm glad I found something they all eat and keeps my poultry intolerant cat safe. (And they literally fight over licking the last bits out of each other's bowls!)

hit or miss
By Chris on Aug 8, 2020
There are two different batches shipping around. One batch, the cans have a lighter label, no writing on the lid. The food is very light colored, very moist, and has very little smell- my cats devour it. The other batch, the cans have a darker label and writing on the lid of the can. The food is a lot darker, drier and has a very strong aroma(smells horrible, even to me)- my cats would rather starve than eat it. Have called Merrick over it and their reasoning is that it’s all based on the fish that is fresh caught. Luckily chewy has no qualms about replacing the order, but that does not guarantee the replacement will be the batch they like.

Smells rancid; a waste of money!
By Roger on Jul 15, 2020
My three cats won’t touch this stuff. It smells like rancid/spoiled fish so I don’t blame them for not eating it. It made my house reek after only a few minutes. The stench of spoiled cat food was unbearable! I’ve been feeding cats canned food for 40+ years and never smelled such disgusting canned cat food. I used to feed my senior cat Merrick Limited Ingredient Chicken canned food for years and wanted another flavor for him to eat so I chose salmon because he has enjoyed it in other brands in the past. The chicken flavor’s quality went downhill and has become very inconsistent so I stopped feeding Merrick Limited Ingredients to my senior cat because he already has health issues and switched My three cats won’t touch this stuff.

Cats won't eat it!
By trysta on Jun 8, 2020
Neither of my cats will eat this now. They ate 'some' of the first few cans and I would find vomit on the floors the next day from both of them (they live in separate areas of the house so I knew it was from each of them.) I am now left with a bunch of food they won't touch. I wonder if other cats have the same issues?

All Four Cats Gobble It Up!
By Matilda on Jun 7, 2020
My four cats love this food! They eat it faster than the other Merrick salmon (their non-limited ingredient option). Even my pickiesr eater will comb through the other’s leftover dishes and eat the scraps. This will definitely be a permanent offering in our wet food rotation.

Great non-poultry protein food option
By Heather on Mar 22, 2020
The cats love this. They have devoured it with enthusiasm. A note for those who have read other reviews that complain about the smell: it smells like canned salmon. If you've never smelled canned salmon, go to the store and grab a can. If that smell offends your nose too much, you might want to not order this food (though I'd argue this isn't as strong a smell as human grade canned salmon). Besides, what's most important is whether your cats will eat it, not whether it smells good to you.

Large dents in most cans but great for my diabetic cat
By CrystalCatz on Dec 13, 2019
Too many dented cans are in each box. Great big dents. Don't mind a tiny dent but this is ridiculous. Am trying 1 more time. Otherwise my cats like this food. It is difficult to find a cat food with no chicken in it and this doesn't have any.
