Brulee checking out the Merrick food
Truffle gets a close whiff of the food.
- Local Growers - All of the ingredients are purchased from local growers. Nothing is purchased from China.
- Real Whole Foods - There are no additives, sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. The food is made from real, high-quality meats and fresh-caught fish with industry-leading levels of protein, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
- Our Own Kitchen - Merrick has made their food in their own kitchen for more than 25 years. They buy their own ingredients, create their own recipes, and package every bag and can of Merrick in one place. They carefully test every finished recipe to make sure it exceeds food and safety standards and their facilities uphold the strict guidelines defined by the FDA.
They also partner with organizations like NSF International, Safe Quality Food (SQF), and HACCP. - Balanced Nutrition - There are high levels of protein in their pet food. Deboned meat is always the first ingredient. None of the canned wet recipes have grain.
- Health You Can See - Pets benefit from a high quality food and some of the benefits of the Merrick food is Optimal weight and increased energy, health skin and shiny coat, healthy bones and joints, and health digestive tract.
As you can see from the photo above, we received lots of difference flavors to try, from duck to turducken. We also received samples of the Organix cat food, which recently joined Merrick. We're sure you're waiting to see what we thought about the food. We are allowed a mixture of dry food and wet food each day. Mom Paula has plenty of water fountains around the house to make sure we're getting enough fluids with our dry food. Just as soon as she poured the Merrick Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Healthy Adult Chicken dry formula in our bowl, both of us dug in. That was really a sight to see, especially with Brulee's little flat face. We loved the taste of the food. The only problem with the food is the shape of it for Brulee's little flat face. She has a hard time eating kibble that is round in shape because she eats in the typical Persian fashion of picking up the food with her tongue. That doesn't stop her from eating this food though. However, there is a mess around the food bowl at night because of the way Brulee eats it.

All in all, we (including Mom Paula) were very impressed with the Merrick and Organix cat food. One of our local pet supply stores carries the Merrick food, but we haven't checked to see if they carry the Organix. We'll definitely buy more of this food to include in our healthy diet. We give the varieties of the canned food and the dry food four paws up. Our only recommendation to Merrick would be to include more photos of cats on their webpage and Facebook page. This is some delicious food and people need to see cats eating it.
Special Note: We received this food from Merrick at no charge and were not compensated for our review of the food. Our opinions are always our own and honest.
We love the Merrick company standards, but we have tried their foods an dont like them. Hey, thats just US...
ReplyDeleteOh look at all those choices! Oh wait, I hate choices. I like my Avoderm. No wait. I don't. I want fishy flakes!
ReplyDeleteWe agree - Merrick's cat food is really yummy!
ReplyDeleteYou girls really like that food! We've tried the Merrick and we like some of the flavors...mostly the pate ones. Zoey likes them the best.
ReplyDeleteHappy you found something both girls like. That's an impossibility around here that all eight of us will ever like the same thing. Thanks for the review. Hope you will join us for our Sunday Selfies Blog Hop. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteGreat review. I did a campaign for them last year and my cats love their chicken. I'd like to see you paid for your awesome reviews :-)
ReplyDeleteSnowball is quite fussy too, I will have to get some flavors of these for her to try.
