I see it is same price as regular Merrick pate at chewy, with no carageenan. Has anyone whose cats liked regular Merrick pate tried it? How did cats like it?

bonepicker, have you ever noticed any digestive upset or soft(er) poo when feeding any of the Merrick which has carageenan? I've been feeding my new kitten Milly the 'Thanksgiving Day Dinner' type, which she loves. But there have been a few symptoms that make me wonder about its longer term use (unfortunately, it would be hard to attribute it to the particular Merrick she likes... time will tell).

No I feed only duck or chicken pate, try that less ingredients, or the new Merrick lid, no carageenan. How old is kitten, has she been wormed? My two are not turkey fans! There is turkey pate and turkey lid.

She's about 18- 1/2 weeks now. She had drontal at the shelter when age 2.5 months, but I know that med only addresses some worms. Anyway, a day after we brought her home from the shelter, we visited the vet & had a well-check, etc. ... we tested her for worms then. The float tests done at that time showed no worms. (This doesn't prove she hasn't gotten any since, though, as drontal only affects some worms). I really don't think she has worms, however - I've seen no indications of this. (Her only problem has been ear mites, which we've been addressing.)
Well, I might try the turkey or the duck if her minor digestive issues keep up, thank you. I just thought I'd read once that you had also used the Thanksgiving Day Dinner? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else, sorry!

I wanted to try both the duck and turkey LID foods, however, I got really annoyed with Merrick's false advertising on both the duck and turkey pates canned labels. Both claim to be "single protein" on the front of the label yet the fifth ingredient of the "single protein" duck and turkey is dried egg product. My cats are allergic to chicken and eggs. Merrick casually dismissed this mislabeling after I contacted them, making light of cats with allergies, excessive itching, which can lead to secondary infections. "We pawsitively regret the error!" was all their customer service rep wrote back to me. I will never buy another product of Merrick's again. It's too bad, it seemed like a fairly decent food otherwise but those two are not single protein foods. And Merrick confirmed they didn't use duck or turkey dried egg product.

Beyond the carrageenan, lots of Merrick's "Purrfect Bistro" foods, including "Thanksgiving Day Dinner," have potato and/or peas in them. One of our cats vomits if she eats anything with potato; I've noticed that a few other Cat Site members have said their cats don't do well with potatoes, either. I haven't noticed that anyone's mentioned problems from peas, though I don't feed them out of principle because they're just carby filler that cats don't need.

You are right I have used it and I have had no problems, the cats preferred the pates so I feed mostly those!
