Review on 🐱 Merrick LID Grain-Free Dry Cat Food by Edith Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Her favorite food by far: Objective and unbiased test

I have four cats and one of them has a food allergy. In addition to being allergic to certain foods, he is also very picky. So it's difficult for me to find food for him. The other three can eat whatever they want, but I feed them all the same food. I have tried several brands and different flavors and also give them wet food once a day. I have done SEVERAL tests to see what type of food they like and it has always been difficult because there was always one cat that didn't like it very much. However, I was just surprised by the fact that they ALL love Merrick LID! They like it very much, all four of them. One way I tested was to use the same type of container with 3 different products. In the picture, I specifically tested Addiction Viva La Venison, Merrick Purrfect Bistro GF Salmon, and Merrick LID Grain Free Chicken. I changed the position of the feeders every day to avoid positional bias. Note the striking difference, Feeder 3 quickly disappeared. They ate the whole Merrick LID chicken and barely touched the rest. After eating the whole Merrick LID chicken, their second preference was Merrick Purrfect Bistro Salmon, but they clearly didn't like it. Then I filled the Merrick LID chick feeder with lots of feed, they ate it all up again and barely touched the other feeders. I've tried other brands including Royal Canin and Hills, always the same result. By the way, they also like Merrick Purrfect Bistro Chicken, but because my cat is allergic I only give them the LID.

Pros
  • Dry
Cons
  • Good but not great
