Feeding Guide
Feed adult cats based on weight and activity level. Indoor cats typically require fewer calories than outdoor or highly active cats – adjust portions accordingly to maintain a healthy body weight. Divide daily portions into two meals. Always provide fresh water. Consult your veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this formula different from standard adult cat formulas?
This recipe is specifically formulated for indoor cats, featuring multiple fiber sources – miscanthus grass, pea fiber, and inulin – to support hairball control. Indoor cats groom more frequently and are more prone to hairball issues than outdoor cats.
How does this formula help with hairballs?
The combination of miscanthus grass, pea fiber, and inulin from chicory root provides a multi-source fiber blend that helps move ingested hair through the digestive tract, reducing hairball formation.
Is this suitable for cats with grain sensitivities?
Yes. This recipe is formulated without grains, corn, or wheat, making it a strong option for cats with common ingredient sensitivities. Always consult your veterinarian if your cat has a diagnosed allergy.
Can I mix this with wet cat food?
Yes. Merrick recommends combining their grain-free dry and wet recipes for a complete diet rich in protein and moisture. This kibble pairs well with any Merrick Purrfect Bistro wet formula.
