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.

Deceptively Tasty
By Amanda on Feb 7, 2019
Sven is a grazer and eats a ton, so I really wanted to maintain his weight. He loves this kibble, knowing none the wiser that I'm keeping him trim. The kibble is grain free, which is awesome for his tummy. The first few ingredients are chicken, turkey, potatoes, and peas, so I'm glad to know what my cat is eating.

Chubby Kitty!
By MacCat on Jan 22, 2019
I haven’t been using this product for very long, but so far so good. My kitty Zoey should weigh about 10lbs, but she weighs 13lbs! She’s 13, and heading for diabetes and a shorter life. She likes the new food, so I’ll let you know how she does!

Seems to have went downhill recently
By CatOwner on Oct 25, 2018
My cats have been eating this for a year or so. This last bag I purchased doesn't seem to be up to the normal standard. My cats won't touch it, and believe me they love kibble. I still have some of the old bag left, and when I compare the kibble the new ones are much darker, smaller, and much harder. Not sure if it was a bad batch that is out or the recipe was changed, either way I am looking to get my money back.

Purrfect Or so-so?
By Dana on Sep 28, 2018 Top 500 Contributor
About 3 months ago I've made the switch to Merrick for my 2 cats who are getting a bit chunky. I want to keep them at a healthy weight and they loved this right off the bat. However I noticed recently my one boy has not been finishing his bowl and neither has my girl. Maybe the food is curbing their hunger, or they no longer like it? Too soon to tell, I'll try them on another Merrick flavor and see what happens. The third kitty though is the pickiest of the 3 and he's still eating it, so that's a good thing!

Perfect food for my fat cat
By FatCatMom on Nov 11, 2018
I rescued an adorable fat cat from the shelter a year ago. I put him on this food and although he doesn't gobble it up, he does cry for more when his bowl is finally empty. The best part is that he has lost weight and has never been healthier.

My cats don't like it
By Julie on Oct 7, 2018
I read about this product and thought it would be perfect for my two who are starting to pack on the pounds. They really didn't like the food and left it in their dishes which they never do with other brands. I was disappointed.

12 paws down!
By Shep2 on Aug 11, 2018
I have three cats. None have been picky eaters......until I bought this! Just starting with a few kibbles with their normal food. NONE of them would eat ANY of their food! I wanted to switch them because the vet disapproves of the brand they were on, because that company was caught in a scandal of false advertising regarding food ingredients. I am disappointed and left with a pricey bag of cat food I can't use.

My 2 Cats Didn't Like It
By Alexus on Sep 8, 2018
My one cat is very over weight, and my other one is slightly over weight. I bought this food to help them lose weight, but unfortunately they do not like it. Usually they aren't picky eaters either.

Not to my pets' taste!
By Gracie on Jul 6, 2018
I am certain this is a fantastic product! It is just not to pets' taste. I got it for the reduction in calories compared to what they have been eating. They are relatively inactive indoor cats? One is a 17 year old male named Sleepy (by my daughter) He NEEDS less calories but this didn't do it for him.

Great for helping my little Felix loose some extra weight
By ZenJen on Sep 5, 2018
This is a light cat food that works well with curbing my cats off mostly dry food. It is filling without weighting my cats down.
