MerrickPurrfect Bistro Grain Free Premium Soft Canned Pate Adult Wet Cat Food, Surfin’ And Turfin’ Recipe - (Pack of 24) 3 oz. Cans

My cats love it

This is the only food my cat will currently eat. I have tried every flavor that Merrick offers, and while my cat has a few he will sometimes eat (chicken pate, beef pate, salmon pate) this is his favorite and the one he will consistently eat. I like that it has high quality ingredients and is grain free. I've been feeding it to my cat for almost one year, and he still likes it. He is a 16 year old picky man too.

I was originally turned on to this brand because of the ingredient list in the wet foods -- no more by-products! -- and vey few (if any) grains, depending on the flavor. One of my two cats will eat anything but the other is the pickiest eater and after MANY trial runs with other foods settled on  Merrick New England Boil Cat Food 5.5 oz (24 Count Case)  for whatever reason. What amazed me is after all that trial and error finding a food for the picky guy, one day he just started eating the surf & turf flavor I bought for the indiscriminate one. Now that he's tasted surf & turf he prefers it over everything else -- they both do. Exceptional product. Their coats look phenomenal and we haven't had an issue with UT issues since moving to Merrick wet food. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the last time I ordered with White Dog Bone, the cans came a little crumpled -- nothing so bad that it had to be returned, but it wasn't preferable.

Don't rely on the bad taste reviews before mid 2013 because Merrick changed there recipe.Before Merrick changed this product our cats did not really like their product really seemed not interested in the wet food at all, but after they changed their recipe in 2013 they love it so much it seems like they inhale it. The texture resembles other cat food now.One of my cats has allergies and has stomach problems with grain and other unknown ingredient, so I get grain free food for them usually at PETCO, but after buying this product for a while I noticed that I can get a greater deal on Amazon. Since it is a heavy item having Prime does help, if you don't have Prime the savings may not be worth it.Merrick prides itself with safe pet food, They only use ingredients made in the U.S and from farms they know and trust.Their website says they do not use anything from China. Which is hard to find nowadays, even if products say made in USA.I am very happy to of found a product that specifically informs consumers, NO usage of the very thing I wanted to avoid "Ingredients from China" .

I ordered a case of Merrick wet cat food, actually I ordered two different flavors, and the case of Surf and Turf was badly damaged before it was sent.Almost every can was dented, one was missing from the case , one was so dented it had spilled the contents. The cans would not have been for sale on the shelf. The other case was fine and this was not the fault of Amazons's packaging, the case was full of damaged cans to begin with. Whoever put this order together should have caught this. Smelly, too! I am afraid to give my pets most the cans as they are so dented as to be almost broken open.Expensive and disappointing as I live a long way from any pet store that carrys Merrick.

I bought a case of Merrick Surf & Turf with high hopes for my clutter of nine cats. Alas, the hype didn't live up to the reality. The product is essentially a wasted purchase, as virtually none of the cats will touch the stuff. I'll be donating the rest of the case to my local animal shelter for their pet food pantry.The ingredient list drew me to the product, being grain-free, and offering a nice mix of meat and seafood, plus lots of complex carbohydrates for filler. Upon opening the can, it was clear that the beef and beef fat content was pretty high, with little seafood scent detectable. It came out of the can in big globs that were sticky to try to mush down for my gang. Have tried two feedings for my gang with this stuff, and they just can't be convinced that it's both tasty and good for them.I realize that different cats have different sets of taste buds and some cats will eat anything, but when none of my nine will touch the stuff, I can't recommend it to anyone with an even semi-finicky cat, as a number of my gang will eat most anything, and to find them turning up their noses at this somewhat pricey stuff is kinda eye-popping. If you're cat is very picky, but you know s/he likes beef, then this flavor will probably appeal to him/her, but otherwise, I wouldn't spend your hard-earned moolah on this stuff. Save your money and your frustration.I give it two stars simply because of its relatively healthy ingredient list; I'd otherwise give it only one star.

I've been using this food for my cat ever since he had some UT issues and the vet recommended we switch to a wet food. I looked for a food where the primary ingredients were actually meat or fish. All of Merrick's flavors have meat or fish or poultry (depending on flavor) as the primary ingredient. My cat loves them all! I feed him a half can mixed with water at night and in the morning. His coat is amazing; I noticed a huge improvement in his coat and energy level when I started using this over the cheap-o dry food.

Pretty perfect cat food- cats love it, good for them, and price isn't horrendous on Amazon. My cats hate most of the other flavors of this food but they love this one and they can eat it for dinner for a month in a row and not protest (they also free feed on blue wilderness dry food and get cat jerky as a treat)
