Available in grain-free and healthy-grain formulas, they help support digestion and are packed with protein and essential nutrients.

Meat First

The first ingredient is always real meat, fish or poultry, for quality protein that supports healthy muscles and energy.

Just the Good Stuff

Purrfect Bistro recipes contain no corn, wheat, soy or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Premium ingredients

Ingredients, size and texture all great. My cats are Picky eaters, used to Purina One salmon, so they don't really appreciate changes, even great brands.

I didn't quite realize just how BIG this bag was going to be! I've since switched to a smaller bag, just because it's easier to handle, but golly, this stuff still smelled like the ocean three weeks after opening!

Everytime i would feed them, I would have to shake all the fine crumbs to the bottom as they wouldn't eat that part. Thought it was just a bad batch/bag but the next one was like that too. Not sure if I will repurchase.

Good quality cat food

The cat food looked like real great quality but my cats were not fond of it. Switched back to the Purina and they were happy.

Great food, poor packaging

My cat is very happy with this food, but I would have liked a self-closing package since the food has to last a few weeks.

My cat likes this food. I don’t know what it tastes like though. But for about the last year there’s a cup full of crumbs on the bottom. I did contact Merrick directly

My cat likes this food. I don’t know what it tastes like though. But for about the last year there’s a cup full of crumbs on the bottom. I did contact Merrick directly about that. I’m a little disappointed about this new shipping time though with Chewy. It used to be two day shipping but this took 6 days.

Ive been using this food for years but I noticed that bags I've been getting have been like 50% crumbs that my cats don’t eat and it doesnt matter where I buy the food, always crumbs. The ingredients are great and the carbohydrate and fat levels are low which is great for my cats but I’m upset that its all crumbs.
