Does Merrick have coupons available?
From time to time, we do offer special promotions on our food and treats. The best way to ensure you know about these offers is to sign up for our newsletter. Please visit e-mail sign up to ensure you don’t miss out.
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.

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.

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

GROUND FLAXSEED

Give it a try, let your cat be the judge
By Pussygalore on Aug 18, 2020
I took in my cats nine years ago. I made the mistake of feeding them the same food for years. Now when I try a new food, they are not interested. When I look at Merrick’s ingredients, it seems a better quality than most. I am giving it a neutral rating because it is unclear if my cats disinterest is due to their nature or the food. Your cats may love it.

This is my cats favorite dry food
By Chel on Oct 6, 2020
I mean seriously, they won't even eat the salmon flavor of this same kind. I like that it's grain free, doesn't have meat meal byproduct, and keeps it simple.

My Mistake
By DogLover on Apr 10, 2020
In my recent order, I made a mistake and ordered cat food instead of dog food. I have been a Chewy customer for years and have only ordered dog food. I wish their site had a control that would alert a customer if their order seemed out of the ordinary. Not their fault, it was all me! Lucky, I was able to give the cat food to someone who really needed it, and their cats love it!

Great for cats of all ages
By Kristy on Mar 23, 2020
I switched my 2 cats (1 year and 6 year) over to this food because my older cat was not stomaching the chicken and sweet potato. I tried this to see if limiting the ingredients in the food would help with his stomach, it did and it was great transitioning the little one over as well. They love it so much!

16 kitty cats say no way
By Kittycat on Jan 21, 2020 top250Contributor
Well about once a year my 16 brats decide they don't want to eat what I feed them. I was hoping they would like this food, all the ingredients looked good to me, but they said no way.
