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.

Merrick Magic
By Jen73 on Feb 8, 2020
It’s early days, but my girls love this kibble. They act like I’m giving them treats. It’s winter, and they like to bake themselves in front of the fireplace, resulting in dry, flaky skin, but since starting the Merrick, there is less flaking and their coats are so soft. I’m not sure about the reduction in vomiting. One cat eats too fast, and the other is the queen of hairball, so I don’t think the sensitive stomach formula will help in that regard.

cat loves it switched from Blue
By Canker2110 on Mar 2, 2020
My cat used to love Blue Buffalo - not sure if they have changed the formula or she just started disliking it but she refused to eat it. Tried this one based on reviews and she gobbles it up.

Senior cat food
By Diana on Jan 20, 2020
Unfortunately my senior cat will not eat this food. This was my first time purchasing the Merrick for my cat, which I purchased since my dog loves the Merrick Brand. It is too bad since it is on the pricey side.

My senior cat loves it

Cat likes it!
By SmanthaK5608 on Oct 20, 2019
I changed my 15 y/o cat's Dry food to Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Indoor Senior Recipe, because it was determined by Vet. her recent vomiting was due to "hair balls". I wanted something which would prevent this condition in an on-going manner. My only concern at the time was she is a finicky eater, and it isn't easy to change food with her. To my surprise, she immediately started eating this product, to the extent it has become the major part of her diet (instead of the wet food we have been giving). I very pleased that this food is not grain based and contains nutrients good for my cat, and she is too. Also no more hairballs or vomiting.

Why all the crumbs?
By Jennydog on Nov 4, 2019
I got this for my two cats for Indoor Senior, and I've heard that Merrick is a good brand. I like the size nugget, cats seem to and they like the taste. BUT, the reason I gave it such a low rating is that there is so much break down, crumbs, therefore I don't feel I'm getting the quality for the price!

Safe bet for my cats
By LizK on Dec 29, 2019
My two indoor cats are 16 and 14. They eat wet food in the morning and this kibble in the evening. They're healthy and energetic and enjoy this food.

She's not thrilled with it
By Sparkley on Oct 14, 2019
My cat has kibble as a "snack" to tide her over until dinner. She'll be letting me know she's hungry when I get home, but only takes a couple of bites before walking away. She will go back eventually if she's really hungry.

Highly Suggest!
By FreddiePurrcury on Jul 25, 2019
We have a small senior kitty with few teeth left, who really needed to put on weight when she was adopted. We had her on some cheaper/more mainstream senior food, but decided to upgrade her to this after extensive research on what was truly the best. She's put on a substantial amount of lean muscle in just two months since switching. She doesn't throw up nearly as often as she used to, which we're attributing to the new food. Also, the bag's easy re-seal is a convenience plus!

Cats love it
By Amefrag on Sep 16, 2019
In our house this stuff is called Kitty crack as they love it that much. We have two 9 year old cats and they love this stuff. We feed them wet food but in the evening they get this as a treat.
