Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain-Free Surf & Turf Grain-Free Canned Cat Food

I would have given this five stars, however when it was shipped me one of the cans under the top was Open and food leaked out and it smelled horrible. However, the rest of the food is fine and our cats enjoy it.

My cats used to love this and clean their plates. But several months ago my cats just refused to eat it,took one smell and walked away. The formula and/or source ingredients must have changed, since even I noticed a different smell and texture,and a lot more liquid. Won't be buying any more, but still stuck with several cases no one will eat.

Thought I was doing my cats a favor by always purchasing premium food, but 5 out of 5 cats do not like this food at all! This flavor did not appeal to 5 different cats one bit. I was sad.

My four cats range in age from 2.5 to 13 years old. All four love Merrick canned food and have eaten it for years.

My cats used to love this but recently even my "good eater" walks away from it. It was only after I read the reviews and checked the cans that I realized the name is different. So disappointing. I would have given it zero stars if possible.

This was a pretty nasty bait & switch by Merrick and Chewy. Our cat loved the original recipe (Surf & Turf Pate), but this new "Surfin & Turfin" is tough, drier, and just doesn't get the same response. This should *not* have been advertised as the same product... it's completely different.

This was the only food my cat would eat. Very upsetting when they "tweak" the packaging, so us unsuspecting customers don't realize it until the can is opened and the kitty snubs the food! These are the case of 5.5 oz cans. I will be contacting Chewy regarding the matter.

I rescued 3 -5 day old kittens out of a bumper in a parking lot 8 years ago. You would think they would eat any canned cat food. Not so. This brand and this flavor is the ONLY one they will eat. I only give them one can split between the 3 of them about 5xs a YEAR (they eat dry the rest of the time. LOL!) but they still only eat this flavor this brand. It is what I started them on as a solid when they were being weaned off the bottle and then I transitioned them to blue buffalo kitten and to this day, they hear a can pull being popped and they come skidding down the stairs screaming. They refuse real fish, tuna of ours from a can, other high end cat foods but this one they eat. And not just the I rescued 3 -5 day old kittens out of a bumper in a parking lot 8 years ago.

Ive purchased MPB Surf & Turf several times in the 5.5oz cans and the texture and quality of the food was excellent. It was creamy and thick like the other MPB flav’s. I recently ordered the Surf & Turf 3oz cans from Chewy and discovered that the texture was horrible. It was watery and clumpy. It looked like a completely different brand. All 24 cans had this issue. I called Chewy and they promptly sent me a new order of the Surf & Turf 3oz cans. Unfortunately the new order had the same issue. I decided to order the large 5.5oz cans of Surf &Turf and everything was fine. The color and texture was excellent. My kitty loves the food.

I’ve never had any problems like this with any of the other flav’s. It just seems to be an issue with the Surf & Turf. ALSO noticed a slight difference with the labels. 3oz cans say Surfin & Turfin and the 5.5oz cans say Surf & Turf. Still a big fan of Merrick but I wanted to give you all a heads up in the event you come across a similar issue. If your cat loves the Surf & Turf flav I would suggest sticking to the 5.5oz cans for now. The quality and texture is excellent. … more

I recently ordered 24 cans of 5.5 oz from Chewy. I did not notice the differences until I opened a new can this afternoon and my cat refused to eat it. I circled the 4 differences place on the can's label (see photo). I will definitely give Chewy a call after I read one of the recent review mentioned about a similar issue.
