Merrick Purrfect Bistro Wet Cat Food with Duck, 3 oz Cans, Pack of 24

I've been feeding my two cats this food for over a year now (actually probably 2 years). They LOVE it. They have literally never not eaten this food the minute I set the plates down--which is good, because I'm paying an arm and a leg for this stuff. It's worth it, though, because my cats are healthy AF. They have the softest silky coats (they're medium/long-haired grey cats; probably a mix of maine coon & siamese--seriously, people comment on my cats' softness), strong claws that poke me whenever they make biscuits into my arm / stomach / thigh / shoulder / head / etc., and they're full of energy. They also don't get chin pimples (maybe that's because I don't use plastic dishes? do your own research). Their poops are healthy, albeit a little stinky, but I mean nothing compares to kitten poops, right? Like, they don't smell half as bad as kitten poops so can I really complain? No. About the food itself: it smells pretty gross, like all cat food does. Not fishy, because it's not fish. Ducky, I guess. I like to rinse the can before tossing it, to keep the fur demons from breaking into the trash, and to mitigate smells. It has very little 'gravy', because it's a pate. I'm told that gravy is not always "gravy" for cats--lots of salt or fillers, maybe (do your own research)? Anyway, pate is pate. It's a dense, solid, can-shaped blob of food. It's not little cubes of meat and carrots and rice in a sauce. This can is full of food, with a drizzle of sauce to keep it moist. So, I feel like I'm getting the most for my money compared to those gravy cat foods (even though my cats go nuts for that gravy stuff--like me with a fresh, hot cheese pizza). My cats have been eating this since graduating from kitten food, and I intend to keep feeding it to them until it makes me go broke, or until they change their minds about duck pate, or until the vet says stop.

Merrick is an excellent brand for cats. It is grain free and my cats love it. I would never feed them a lesser brand because there good health is non-negotiable. Brands in supermarkets are never going to carry top pet foods because the public won't tolerate the price. However, if you bought 2 cans of Fancy Feast (a low quality popular supermarket food) for a 1 day feed, you could afford THIS brand and your cat would be much healthier.

Grain free as recommended by our vet. Very little fillers. The three cats like all the Merrick flavors. (though they are NOT fans of the chicken, but they will still eat it , begrudgingly)

Only one of my cats would eat it. Unlike other cat food cans, the content would get stuck inside and not come out when you flip it over; you would need to use a spoon/fork to scoop it out. Otherwise, it seems to be a quality product.

My cats have been Merrick fans for years especially the Duck and Rabbit formulas. It is one of the best choices out there and I've read ingredients on more brands than I can count. The only other brand I would buy is Hound and Gatos.

I tried the Duck flavor before as part of poultry variety pack. When I did, my cat seemed to prefer Duck over Turkey and Chicken. The whole reason I bought the more expensive variety pack was to find my cat's favorite. She loved the Duck flavor most. Imagine my surprise when I got this big 24-pack only to discover that my cat hated it. I thought maybe a can or two were off, but no. My cat would leave the food untouched until she was starving. Even if I removed old food and opened a fresh can, she'd take one whiff and walk away, returning perhaps 10-12 hours later when she was desperate. The good news is that I got Chicken on the last order, and she almost back to her eating habits and portions instantly.

I have 5 cats snd they gobble this up.

4/2020 Update: This product was not in stock for some time leading to the cancellation of my previous subscription. When I disco it was back in stock I decided to try again subscribe and save again. Unfortunately, a major problem I started having with the product towards the end of my last run with it from Amazon is already present. This is an issue of damaged and severely dented cans. I have several cans that are damaged to the point of compromising the seal and spoiling the contents. One can only surmise this to be the result of the case of cans being dropped or crushed at some point prior to being placed inside the box for shipping. Be aware of this prior to purchasing. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My 3 cats love this food. They would enjoy it more if I would give them a whole can each instead of mixing some of this one in with other food but such is their life. Even when one of the cats is a bit under the weather they never turn a bit of this straight out of the can down. To me, it makes a good stand-in for the more expensive critical care food when you're might not be feeling well. Just mash it up a bit and turn it into more of a slurry than a pate. The cat will eat it right up.

really great value for the money, my local pet shop sells merrick's purrfect bistro @$2.39/can + 5% discount and still doesnt beat the price from this seller. cats seem to love it too! i am cat sitting 2 female young adults.

My cats love it. I've ordered it twice now and the second batch came as salmon not duck but my cats still love it and have no allergies so it was fine. Would just recommend double checking when it arrives if your pets have allergies.

Les chats l'adore

Very weird texture, a lot of fat

Great deal, 24 5.5 ounce cans for $40CAD. The local stores can't match that. Cat loves it, quality product, would buy again for $40.
