Frequently Asked Questions
Can this be served as a complete meal?
Yes. Merrick Backcountry Freeze-Dried Salmon Meal Mixer is formulated to provide complete and balanced nutrition and can be served on its own as a full meal, not just as a topper or treat.
What is High-Pressure Processing (HPP)?
HPP is a proven food safety process that uses high pressure rather than heat to eliminate harmful pathogens in raw food. This allows the raw nutritional profile to be preserved while ensuring the product is safe for your cat.
How do I use this as a kibble mixer?
Simply sprinkle the freeze-dried pieces over your cat's regular dry food. You can also rehydrate with a small amount of warm water before mixing for a softer texture.
Is this grain-free?
Yes. Merrick Backcountry recipes are grain-free and made without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
