Merrick Purrfect Bistro Premium Grain Free Natural Dry Cat Food For Young Cats, Healthy Kitten Food Recipe - 7 lb. Bag

Cats love it

I love the Merrick Before Grain products. My cats love them and they have had no digestive problems since I switched. I regularly purchase the adult "Merrick Before Grain #1 Chicken Dry Cat Food" through Amazon Subscribe and Save. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001709GF2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I purchased the kitten food for our new kitten and the cats seemed to like this just as well. In fact the adult cats seemed to like the kitten version while the kitten seemed to prefer the adult cat food. That being the case, they all get fed the adult food now. Merrick Before Grain Cat foods are wonderful. It seems that 99.9 percent of cat foods on the market contain grains - sometimes in spite of the fact that they claim to be grain free. This line of cat food is the only one that I found to truly contain no grains. And it is one of the better priced high quality cat foods that I could find! I found that my cats have been much more healthy since I switched to feeding Merrick Before Grains.* I would add just one note... I cannot afford higher quality canned cat food, and the lower priced canned food are a completely unhealthy choice. Thus I no longer feed them canned food, and Merrick seems to meet all of their nutritional needs. I do however occasionally add approximately 1 tablespoon of flax seed oil to the food to make up for the oils missed. Their coats are shiny and healthy and they are far more active than they were before the switch!

My kitten enjoys this food.

I suddenly found myself with a feral kitten that we had to bottle feed then transition to solid food. This was the first kibble food I bought her. The company is fairly local to me and we can get it local, but I prefer to order on Amazon and do autoship. I've raised my ragdoll adult cat on grain-free food, and she's so healthy and her coat so beautiful. I just started with grain free for my little Talullah. The kitten cries when her bowl is empty to let us know we need to serve her highness. Everyone tries to steal her food, because it smells and tastes great, so I have to feed Talullah in another place. She doesn't gorge on this food like ferals often do in the beginning. I just wish Kitten food was a little less expensive. Her coat is luxurious and soft and she's growing so fast. This food agrees with her so well. Isn't she absolutely perfect? Signed....a proud kitten mom.

Cat liked it. I noticed that there were a bunch of crumbs/dust at the bottom. I use a puzzle feeder; that's why the crumbs are an issue, but if you feed out of a bowl, then maybe it doesn't matter?

I think for feeding my cats dry, this is one of the better brands as it doesn't contain careenagen which is known to cause health problems and tumors in animals (also in humans by the way). I have two kittens and I wanted to be sure they got adequate kitten nutrition as I also feed Natural Instinct wet food to my cats (which also lacks careenagen). I find Merrick brand to be better than some of the other "wellness" type of dry foods. If you read the label and see a lot of "meat meal" vs "real meat" it is a bad sign. Also my kittens like it. I also like that it doesn't contain a fish smell a tell tale sign they are using fish by products or soy which is also not good. In fact fish based cat food is linked to causing hyperthyroidism in cats. We just lost our beloved cat of 15 years to hyperthyroidism and we are convinced it was not only aging but the cat food we were feeding. We feel horrible that we didn't know this sooner so that we could adjust the food and maybe preserve his life. But after much research I felt good about buying this in addition to wet food. I feel that is the best way to honor my sweet boys memory by doing the research as I am a nutrition coach by profession. It's very important to pay attention to labels even for our furry friends. We thought we were doing the right thing, but after really looking closely at the label and researching hyperthyroidism causes this is the conclusion we have come to.

My kitten is 8 months and we have transitioned to this type of food since it is grain-free and a reasonable price if you do the subscribe and save. I dont like having to carry large bags of cat food every month so this was a great alternative. Happy with the food freshness as my cat wont eat stale dry food. It always comes on time. I have no complaints.

When we first picked out Merrick, we had discovered that our current cat food was subpar, and Merrick was what I found to be the best. We have three kittens who are all rescues, including one from a farm who was not in a very good position health wise. He has completely transformed since we got him, and is a happy and healthy kitten currently. We attribute a lot of that to his food. He filled out quickly (he is pictured, 8 weeks and 7 months) and his fur changed from wiry to soft and silky. All three of our kittens are healthy; the vet told us they look fabulous, likes Merrick as a brand and that many clients use Merrick.

I'm so so so glad I can get this online! My kittens love it and it's so healthy!

Ma chatte adore!!! Sans céréales donc bonnes pour la santé des chats qui ont très peu d'enzymes qui digèrent les céréales.

Very good food she likes it seems to be healthier for her

The best and highest quality kitten food (dry) that I have found.
