Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain-Free Real Chicken Recipe Adult Dry Cat Food

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

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.

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!

Nulo was a hit, this bag of food was not...unfortunate, now I have a whole bag of uneaten cat food. The kitten version of this brand was a hit, but the adult version did not entice my cat.

My inside cats and my outside cat would not eat this stuff although they usually like dry cat food such as Whole Earth Farms. Recently they have only liked dry food with fish in it. Since this food has no fish perhaps that is why they don't like it.

I got this in my monthly auto ship for the first time because my Patrick has always had a sensitive kitty tummy. His eyes are also bigger than that tummy. I fed it last night for the first time, and he went NUTS over it, even though I mixed it with their usual Purina Indoor Cat Formula. He didn't throw up, it's a first! Yes, the kibbles are small and there's crumbs in the bag, but I think if one's able to combine it with another food, it should work out. Thanks for the recommendation, Chewy!

My cats are being fickle about their food, but I'm going to keep trying because it's a much better recipe than what I was giving them before.

I love my cat. We adopted her just a few months ago. Finding which foods she can tolerate has been a process. She really doesn't like this. If I leave it down all day, she will maybe pick at it. It's sad. I gave up and am feeding her leftovers of the last bag I tried that she likes a fraction more. I do like the Velcro seal on it. But, I ended up donating it because I'm sure it's a good food, just not up to Phoebe's standards.

I switched him from tiki cat which he would walk away from and eat only if he was really hungry. He gobbles this food up right away.

I am attempting to switch my cats to grain free food. I am having limited success. I am still mixing their old dry food with this new grain free dry food to get them accustomed to it. They eat most of it, but still somehow manage to eat around it and eat only their old stuff & leave this one in the bowl. So, at this point I am uncertain about getting them completely converted over to new, grain free food. Stay tuned . . .
