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.

Best food I have found for mt sensitive cat. He has skin allergies and stomach issues and this limited ingredient food has done wonders. He no longer attacks his skin my scratching until scabs or obsessive over grooming. Thank you this has been a blessing for a worried cat mom. My other cats love it also.

I saw this on sale so I thought I would try it. I have seven cats and wanted to try something new. This food had good nutritional value and the price was right so I bought it. When it came I immediately poured it into the feeder. All my cats went to it to feed. They seemed to really enjoy it so I’ll diffidently kep this one in my site for future purchases.

I've used Merrick foods in the past, but when they sold out to Purina, I worried about changes in the quality of the food. Reading the label on Chewy, it appears there have been no changes, so decided to give it a try again. I make a mix of GOOD foods for my tenrecs and hedgehogs and knew this was one food they had approved of in the past. Happily, they once again accepted and approved of this food, so I will continue to monitor the quality and use it in my mix as long as it continues to meet my rigid requirements.

I’ve had a hard time finding a low-carb option that my biggest (and roundest) cat will eat. He likes this one, though! The ingredients list looks good and the kibbles are about half the size of the usual kibbles I see in cat foods. My only complaint is that I wish it came in 20+ pound bags.

Lots of challenges trying to coordinate foods for kitten and adult. The kitten ate everything, but had weeks of digestive issues. This seems to agree with both.

My cats like the chicken flavor much better than the turkey, One of the bags was torn asunder because it is basically paper, as compared to blue buffalo, for instance. I managed to save most of it. Maybe don't ship it with cases of canned cat food...

First time I'm trying Merrick dry food for my cat. He want crazy for it and tries to break into container in which it's stored.

We have 5 cats with a variety of ages. We have two that are food sensitive and it is hard to find a food they all will eat and physically deal with ok. This one seems to work. It should be packaged for shipping better as some of it gets crushed and is unusable.

Unfortunately, none of my cats like the Merrick brand----have tried the chicken and turkey grain free---so I am feeding it to the feral colony we care for.

One of my cats recently had allergy testing done as she was having all sorts of issues, and she was found to be allergic to many common ingredients in every cat food I looked into, including many of the allergy lines. On top of this, she’s an extremely picky eater and it was always a challenge to get her to finish her meals. This is the only food I was able to find that didn’t have anything she was allergic to, and for the first time ever she has now been eating her entire meal! The only complaint I’d have is the kibble seems to fall apart and is quite crumbly, but neither of my cats seem to mind so it isn’t a big deal. Her symptoms have subsided as well, and she seems much much happier
