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.

My cats are really enjoying this food, but it is VERY crumbly and it seems like a lot goes to waste because they aren't eating the powder/crumbs that settle in the bowl. Another reviewer mentioned that this happened once to them but it is not always the case. Maybe it gets broken down in transport?

This was the only grain-free, low-carb formula of cat food that all four of our cats would eat right out of the dry food bowl. But also, we feed them twice a day with a mixture of dry food and wet food. As well, this is one of the few formulas with a percent carb content down in the twenties. Many "high quality" grain-free formulas tend to be at 40 to 45%. I can tell because the higher carb content formulas don't satisfy our big orange & white Tom. In fact, he seems to get hungrier the more he eats of it (like I do when I go off my lo-carb diet). So for these two reasons it's my favorite. However, our cats' enjoyment varies from bag-to-bag. The previous bag was a smash hit. The This was the only grain-free, low-carb formula of cat food that all four of our cats would eat right out of the dry food bowl.

The previous bag was a smash hit. The latest bag doesn't interest them at all (but they still eat it mixed with wet food.) The bag arrived with a small tear (which I immediately taped over with packing tape) and there is kibble mixed with powdery remains of pulverized kibble, like you'd get at the very bottom of the bag. Maybe this is due to rough handling during shipping. But the intact kibble is a lot smaller, so I wonder if factory production is inconsistent. Therefore I've pushed my autoship several weeks into the future and will buy smaller bags from various brick & mortar shops until I figure this out. … more

We ordered this cat food in the 7lb bag and it was fine, cats ate it. Ordered the 12lb and half the bag was powdered food. The cats refused to eat it because it was so powder. Not sure if we just got a bad batch out of the partner heavy bag was just bad.

I have two cats. One refuses to eat this food. The other one will eat it but very begrudgingly. I can't waste money buying it again. Would like to point out the grains of food are super tiny.

The ingredient list sounds so good but alas my 3 senior citizen cats can not read and will not eat it.I am feeding a stray cat and her 6 kittens until the local shelter has room for them so I gave it to them. They will eat almost everything but not this food.The raccoons enjoyed it eventually however when I dumped it on the compost heap.

We got this food because the Merrick Before Grain was out of stock. We will continue buying this one because our 2 diabetic cats seem to be doing better on this than on the Before Grain. All 4 of our cats like it a lot!

My cats love this new food. They had no digestion problems with the first serving. I am so happy that it has no grain in it. My pets are cats; not chickens.

Since switching to Merrick grain free, my kids got sick entirely too often. Now they run to the bowl when it’s filled, and it’s bone dry at next feeding! No one turns up their nose at it!
