Frequently Asked Questions
Is this suitable for adult cats or only seniors?
This formula is specifically designed for senior cats. It has lower calories and fat to match the reduced activity levels of aging indoor cats. For adult cats, Merrick’s standard Purrfect Bistro line would be more appropriate.

Yes. This formula includes miscanthus grass and pea fiber to support hairball control as part of the overall digestive health blend.
What joint support ingredients are included?
This formula contains glucosamine (800 mg/kg) and chondroitin sulfate (800 mg/kg), both of which support joint health and mobility in senior cats.
Is this grain free?
Yes. This formula contains no grains – it uses sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peas as digestible carbohydrate sources instead.
