"My senior cat was drastically losing weight and after visiting the vet, the medication also caused him to want to eat even less. Decided to try the rich kitten food and he loves and is gaining weight again."
"I have bought numerous packages of this variety of Merrick Backcountry in the past. Last box none of my cats would eat. I don't know what happened, because I think this is good food. Nice size pieces, not too big and juice. I still recommend it to try though."
