We believe in feeding dry and canned food in combination, whenever possible, to help increase the level of water in your cat's diet. Please have clean, fresh water available at all times.
We understand that every cat is different and that optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, activity level and environment. Kittens need up to 2 times and pregnant / nursing cat 3 times the Adult requirement.
Gradually mix in new food over a 7 - 10 day period, increasing the amount of Merrick Purrfect Bistro Recipe each day.

Evelyn loves it!
By Emily on Jan 17, 2019
My senior gal is really liking this food! I had previously tried to put her on the wellness complete senior formula and she let me know that she was NOT fond of it (refused to even touch it) so we tried this next and it’s a hit! She eats it right up. We will repurchase when we run out.

She won't go near it
By Gloria on Feb 4, 2019
She gets about three feet from it, stops, debates it and then walks away. But that doesn't mean it's not good...she's just picky and it makes me crazy! Sorry Merrick.

My cats love Merrick
By CatMomma on Dec 13, 2018
I tried for a long time to find a good quality food that all seven of my cats would eat. This was the big winner. All of my cats are eating the indoor senior and the chunky ones have all lost some weight while loving their food. I only wish it came in a larger bag like all the other Merrick cat foods do.

So far so good!
By Catlady on Dec 15, 2018
I was feeding the American Journey Turkey & Chicken, but my little guy kept chewing and itching so I switched to Merrick and the itching has decreased tremendously... He loves the food and always come for more!

Its a winner with a problem
By MilosMom on Aug 11, 2018
My cat Milo has been on a special diet due to age and hyperthyroidism. He has had the treatment and has been cured so I switched him to the Merrick Senior formula. He really loves it but it has a lot -and I mean a lot- of food powder in the bag. I have to sieve the food before I give it too him so he doesn't get a mouthful of food "dust". I will try it one more time and hope it was just an anomaly.

Senior cats love this food
By Cro87 on Oct 5, 2018
I have been feeding my two senior cats this food for a while. They are very healthy and happy! They still love this food and can’t wait for me to open the bag.

So far... I am waiting to see
By Martyelzz3 on Jul 23, 2018
Unlike a lot of people that stated their cats did not like it, I started mixing it with their previous food.(Cats don't like their food change abruptly.) Eventually it will be at pretty much full strength and I'll see if I continue to buy it. I REALLY like Merrick's re-sealing strip as it actually really seals well and easily! I'd give them a 5 star rating on that portion!
