MerrickPurrfect Bistro Grain Free Premium Soft Canned Pate Adult Wet Cat Food, High Protein Salmon Recipe - (Pack of 24) 3 oz. Cans

We have 4 cats ranging from a 21 lb Maine Coon to a tiny 6 Lb, 9 month old rescue. Before switching to this cat food I tried many other "healthy brands" which one or more of my cats so I kept looking for one that all my cats would enjoy. I started feeding them Merrick canned and dry over 7 months ago and have noticed great improvement in their coats, even our big shaggy Maine Coon (who now doesn't require as much grooming as before), their activity level and their overall health. They eat less because the high protein does the job to satisfy them, no more begging between meals :-).My Vet is adamant about grain free as he has seen over his many years in practice that the majority of cats on Grain included and Dry cat food have developed diabetes. We do give our cats Merrick Dry for a night-time snack because they like the crunchy taste but we stick to the canned for the bulk of their diet.One thing that I'll mention, which is not a "con" for this product but is worth mentioning. On Merrick, as with other foods, they all still had smelly poops. I started adding a feline digestive enzyme to the cans of Merrick at each meal and there is now practically no smell. Both canned and Dry cat food of any brand cannot add this enzyme into the recipe because it breaks down and is ineffective by the time it reaches your pet. Just as with humans a digestive enzyme is most effective fresh at meal times so it needs to be added just before eating. Besides the better aroma in the house, your pet will get more health benefits from this well made cat food if an enzyme is added, just make sure that it is a Feline Enzyme, Dogs are different animals. Don't feed your cat an enzyme made for dogs or one that claims to work for both cats and dogs. Go feline all the way!!Last, but not the least, all 4 cats love this food and there are so many wonderful and healthy flavors to choose from. Our cats will remain on Merrick for a long and healthy life.

This is my cats favorite flavor of Merrick. They gobble it up.

The media could not be loaded. I've ordered this food before (little over a year ago) and had no issues - and have dealt with Merricks Purrfect Bistro pates for years for my cats and for over 150 at a local rescue, so I'm familiar with the product.This time however, there seems to be something wrong with the food as the texture is quite loose. Usually the pate has to be scooped out, or sometimes eventually slides out of the can in one semisolid "puck", but the food from these cases flops out immediately and is not solid.My cat who's eaten Merricks pates for at least 5 years refuses to eat more than a few licks, and the day after he eats a small amount, he gets diarrhea for two more days.I've tried cans produced at different times - they have best before dates more than a month apart - and same weird watery/loose texture.Looks like I'll be composting most of the 2 cases - very disappointing (and expensive) :-(

My cat mainly eats Merrick wet food. The reason we like Merrick is because they usually come with a good amount of moisture/liquid. My cat doesn't drink a lot of water and so we keep him on a mostly wet food diet. We like the moisture and liquid of this food as well. Most of all, my cat loves most of their flavors especially salmon! This has been his breakfast for years! One small can for breakfast and one for dinner (with a few treats in between!) Very good quality food!

I've been feeding this to my kitten, as it was the brand recommended by the shelter I got him from. I also got some cans of Blue Buffalo wet cat food because it was cheaper, but my kitten preferred the Merrick. It is a teeny bit pricier, but it's cheaper on Amazon than I can find in the store. Also, my vet was very happier to hear I was using this brand, as she says it's a good balance of proteins, carbs, etc (this brand is higher in protein and lower in carbs than a lot of other brands). I'm just hoping I don't have any of the issues the other reviewers have encountered. I've gone through three 24 packs of the 3 oz salmon pate and have not encountered any issues, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it.

Compared to most car foods, Merrick is a wonderful brand. It’s a bit pricey, but worth a balanced and healthy diet for your cats.

The product is fine, but it is only 3oz not the 5.5oz cans of cat food. Beware when you order that is what you what.

The ingredients are decent but not all kitties will eat this.The price was very good but the regular price is not.To expensive to not feed all with this
