Merrick Purrfect Bistro Rabbit Pate Grain-Free Canned Cat Food

Merrick recently changed two things about its Purrfect Bistro line: 1. Some recipes changed. 2. The can is different, a different type of aluminum and lining. I don't know which of these factors made the difference, maybe both, but the cats stopped really eating the turkey pate, as well as the duck, rabbit and kitten dinner, after those being their favorite flavors for a year. The kitten dinner they refuse to touch. The rabbit and duck they'll lick a little and then mash flat and leave it, and only eat it if we simply refuse to feed them anything else. But that's mean, they used to eat it with gusto. They obviously don't enjoy it anymore; and they do still eat the Grammy's Pot Pie Merrick recently changed two things about its Purrfect Bistro line: 1. Some recipes changed. 2.

After a solid year on Merrick, we have to find a new food. … more

I've been through multiple cat foods, prescription and otherwise. He threw up everything. First thing that's worked. But there's a trick to it- limited portion sizes and I add warm water. I also use the Furminator every day. He threw up cat fur one day- apparently it won't go through his digestive tract due to his condition. My guy has gained a little weight back- he was literally starving to death before this- and I'm no longer thinking I'll have to have him put to sleep.

My cat has been on a limited ingredient food for the past 8yrs. Finally the doctor said i could try stepping down feom6the prescription food and see how he does. He loves this! And his tummy issues are still in check. Half the cost of the prescription food, and he is eating and doing great!

Since adopting her a few weeks ago, she’s been on nutro chicken soft loaf and Earthborn harbor harvest, with nutro being her clear preference. Bought a can of this at the store because it was carrageenan free (not all Merrick recipes are) along with a few others from different companies, and for the first time we saw her lick the bowl clean. Just received my order of 5.5 ozs for about the same as EB would’ve been. Still going to keep Nutro in rotation for the added protein and fat, but this food definitely shook up the rankings.

My 3 cats are very hard to please when it comes to wet food. They will only eat pate and it has to pass their ridged demands of what (in their opinion) an edible pate should smell like. For reasons only known to them, most products fail and only succeed in feeding the garbage disposal. This rabbit pate they love! One sniff and all 3 cats were devouring this food at record speed. Same reaction with every meal after that very first one. I'm shocked! Best of all, it totally agrees with all of them. No digestive upsets of any type. I guess they really like rabbit because they also love another rabbit high quality brand I tried. They told me to add rabbit food to my next autoship, so I did.

With 5 cats, it's rare to find a flavor that they all eat. This Rabbit Recipe is the one. Also, much more reasonably priced than other Rabbit wet food.

I don't think they are really that wild about this food. I am not sure at this point that I will buy it again in the future.

So happy to have found rabbit for cats at last. My elderly cat was brought up on rabbits and lizards when he was a baby and now that he has been very ill and developed severe food allergies to everything canned, it was a joy to find something other than fresh raw food that he can tolerate and that makes him happy again.

I have twelve cats. Most did not take to this food. The first time it was a hit, but now they are just “meh”. I am now trying to gift cans to my cat-owning friends. I may donate it to a shelter, as well.

16 weeks old babies have the best coats, shiny, and soft.
