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

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

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

Mmmm for Merrick
By PittsburghPaws on Mar 31, 2022
Our felines inside and feral friends outside love Merrick brand dry food - high quality ingredients, appropriately priced, and easy peasy with Chewy's super fast delivery. The bowls are empty everyday and we some picky eaters - this is a win for everyone in our 6 cat family.

Formula has changed, and no more 7lb bag
By kittymom on Feb 1, 2022
My two cats have been eating this dry food happily for several years. I would have rated it 5 stars. I had the 7lb bag on Chewy autoship, but then in October the 7lb bag was no longer available. So I bought the 12lb bag, but the kibble doesn't look the same, I noticed it's a lighter color and slightly larger kibble size. The real problem is that both my cats refused to eat it, one of them even tried to "bury" it. I don't blame Chewy, but please Chewy, report this to Merrick. Why would Merrick change a good cat food? And why do away with the 7lb bag size? That size fit perfectly on my pantry shelf - 12 lbs is too big, let alone the decision to change the formula. Please ask Merrick to bring back My two cats have been eating this dry food happily for several years. I would have rated it 5 stars.

Very reliable
By Mike on Dec 30, 2021
I would like to thank Chewy for filling my order. I have been using Chewy for my cat filters, both water and litter box for a long time. I needed Merrick limited ingredient diet cat food for my cat. All stores near me were out of this brand. Chewy was the only place I could find this brand. Thank you chewy for helping me to keep my cat Griz happy.

Something's Changed
By wrd082 on Jan 19, 2022
My cats used to devour this food but now neither of them will touch it. As other's have mentioned it used to be for all life stages but now it's just for adults. Will be donating to a local shelter

Great dry food
By CatMom on Dec 27, 2021
Our previous cat loved this food, and the one we have now does too. We like the fact it has good ingredients, and the cats enjoy the taste as you can tell from how readily both have eaten it. This one is a keeper.

Skip it!!!!
By Bklyn718 on Dec 21, 2021 top250Contributor
No cats will touch this dry food. My cats preferred to starve rather than eat this. I put it out for the ferals and even they wouldn’t touch it. Finally raccoons came and left it as well. Don’t buy this. So overpriced as well.

I Like to Eat This
By MrGrayFur on Apr 14, 2021
Mama had to switch food on us due to a recall. I had eaten only that other food since my whole life so it was difficult to do. The first bowl, we ate this new stuff like it was going out of style. Keep in mind we hadn't had dry food in a few days. The bowl sat empty on the floor as if taunting us. Since the first couple days, we've slowed down. Mama likes that this brand is so healthy and she might stick with it. I guess that would be ok. Wink Wink, more than ok! P.S. No grain means no getting fat for me!
