Questions & Answers

3 Customer Questions


What is the phosphorous amount -- dry matter analysis -- for this food?

Answer by ChewyOct 24, 2019
This formula has a phosphorous content of approximately 1.94% on a dry matter basis.

Is the tuna in this product tested for heavy metals before it is incorporated into this cat food? What is the metal content of the tuna in this food?

Answer by ChewySep 28, 2021
Merrick's mineral premix contains several chelated metal minerals that are essential for your cat's nutrition, such as zinc, iron, magnesium and manganese. These are organic compounds with the metal ions attached for better bioavailability. The maximum level of mercury allowed in all seafood is 1 ppm. Merrick fish varieties have been tested and the results are well below the allowable level. Merrick products go through a rigorous quality control process and are not released for sale until they have been tested for a long list of toxins and possible contaminants, and Merrick is satisfied that they meet their nutritional standards. This recipe contains 9% Manganese, 26.2% Zinc, 3.4% Copper, 39% Iron, and 0.02% Magnesium.

What is the the carbohydrate content of this food?

Answer by ChewySep 23, 2019
The carbohydrate content of this food is approximately 3.5% on an as fed basis.

Robo Cat is my middle-aged male and he seems to do pretty well on this food. He had previously had a “Fancy Feast” addiction and I know that is junky so have been trying to switch him off of the Fancy Feast pate and this brand has been the best thus far. He prefers the fishy flavors so I am trying him on the seafood variety pack. Because he prefers pate consistency, I always worry about him getting enough moisture and this brand provides the moisture he needs. So, two paws up on this one.

Runny Pate ??

Kinda bummed that this consistency of the pate has gone from a soft loaf to a runny mess that my cats won’t eat :( Did something change? It’s winter here so I can’t

All four cats like this

The tuna pate is is a favorite of the cats. Tried other flavors (chicken and beef) but they clearly prefer the tuna.

After three tries, you guys still have not sent me the correct size cans. I don’t know how your warehouse staff can’t tell the difference between 3 ounce cans and 5.5 ounce cans, but it’s getting ridiculous. My cats out of food and you have not sent the right package yet. Handling this through messenger has not worked either. I need a supervisor to contact me ASAP to correct this issue

Dented Cans and Leakage in Box

The cans were dented and two were open which leaked over everything inside the box. The cans are now difficult to open due to the dents.
