Cats thrive on a grain free diet high in quality protein with moderate fat levels and low levels of carbohydrates. That's why Purrfect Bistro Grain Free Real Salmon Recipe Cat Food provides balanced nutrition using real whole foods. This natural, 100% grain free formula cat food is ideal for adult cats 1 - 7 years old with a focus on nutrient rich ingredients to support overall health.

Deboned salmon is the first ingredient and, along with chicken and turkey meals, helps comprise the 74% protein level of fish and meat sourced ingredients that are highly digestible and rich in essential fatty acids. Fresh produce like sweet potatoes and peas provide easily digestible carbohydrates that offer the benefit of sustained energy without upsetting grain-sensitive digestive systems. This high quality grain free diet is fortified with vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and antioxidants.

Not all brands make their own food. We put cooking and quality under one roof. Our five-star kitchen and manufacturing facilities uphold the strict guidelines well defined by the FDA. Our Merrick recipes are made using farm fresh ingredients to ensure the highest quality. As a result, our recipes are 100% free of ingredients from China.
