"The M&M brand product is expensive. Ingredients are very good and the price was great, I plan to buy it for my cats to try."

Bottom Line

High expectations versus product performance have discrepancies. Considering the product tends to attract readers who are already satisfied with similar Merrick brand products. If you follow the herd, pick a different cat companion. Our recommendation is to try another product or await more updates on quality fixes and adjustments from Merrick.
