What is the difference between #1, #2 & #3 on the bags of cat food...this will be my first purchase of the food???

#1 is Chicken, #2 Salmon, #3 Tuna, #4 Turkey, #5 Quail and #6 Beef. The latter three come as wet canned food. I don't believe this line is going to last though as the brick and mortar stores recently replaced them with their new line of "Purrfect Bistro" and Merrick's website took some of the Before Grain products down from their offered products.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I've used the product for several years and never noticed. It's been good for my cats.

The numbers don't do much more than to differentiate their product line: 1 is Chicken, 2 is for Salmon and 3 is for Tuna.

Its just the flavors. Chicken is number one salmon is number two and so on.

I'm not sure what you're asking. You mean ingredients? In any case, I've gone through different brands of cat food over the years (max cat, halo, before grain, wellness, etc). My kittens are super spoiled and I am fortunate to make enough to buy the best and I can honestly say that merrick before grain is the best I've tried so far. I've spent countless hours doing research and this food is fabulous and I highly recommend it. Just make sure you transition your kitten(s) properly. Let me know if you have specific questions - I'm not an expert but I love my kittens and want only the best for them or anyone else's :)All the best,Igor I'm not sure what you're asking.

I think it is the same product, just the generic version. I use it for my feral cat & she does not seem to notice that it is on top of the canned cat food. I just use 1/4 tsp for a 15 pound cat.

I actually forgot ,but I can tell you ,if it says so ..must be 24...I remember I bought both the wet food described and also dry 9 lives ,but almost positive... if I had gotten less than promised ,it would have started my complaints ..and mumbling...I was very surprised to get what my cats eat..the classic seafood 3 variety in the picture.

I buy the 5lb bag. I have 2 dogs that each get 3 teaspoons apiece once a day on food. I bought my last 5lb bag in September 2013 and just got another because I was running low. Hope that helps!

it says cat food. However, every box I purchased contained damaged/dented cans.

I noticed a change too. I had hoped it was just one bag, and I have to say my cats don't like the new product as much. This may be the last time I purchase this product. I called the company, but they never responded to me. Guess they don't care.

I have bought several bags of these "healthful treats" from my vet overtime. But because I'm feeding them to 8 outdoor/garage kitties to keep their immune system in good condition 1 bag (@ $19.99/bag) it gets expensive so, I looked on the internet/amazon to see if I could find a better cost. These are the same that I buy from my vet. Hope this info helps. I usually buy several bags when I order. Have bought several others items (for my kitties) from amazon that I've had good luck with.

Well I feel stupid because I never noticed the two different versions of this. I have been buying the pet urine one but will definitely get the cat one next time to see it if works better. My best guess (and this is from experience with both dog and cat pee) cat urine stinks up the house a lot worse than dog urine so possibly the cat urine product would be stronger and more effective on cat odors.

Hi Kamy.. Well, in my family there is only two of us and I use a couple of these. I own four of the green Yummy Kerribags and 2 of the blue ones for the frozen items. I too, have a cart full of items. We need to remember the bulky items that we might be buying, so that is why I take about 4 of the green and 2 of the blue ones. For a family of 4 perhaps 6 of the green bags and 3 of the blue bags would suffice. If you can purchase a couple of the blue kerribags for frozen items that would not take room from your green bags, and the blue bags are great to have because you can place all of frozen perishable items in these. I hope this information helps you and has answered your question. Hi Kamy.. Well, in my family there is only two of us and I use a couple of these.

Similar to the other answers, I can't speak to whether this is an organic cat food or not, but I am guessing since it doesn't advertise as such on the label, that it is probably not organic. However, this is a grain free food, which our cats seem to love. It's exactly the same as the smaller 3.5 and 5oz cans that you can buy in the store of the same kind. Buy in bulk and use subscribe and save, and this is a better value than what you can get in most pet stores.

I'm not sure of a difference. I do know that this seems to have a "fishy" smell. I have 2 cats that use it and depending on the flavor of the canned food I mix it in, one will eat while the other won't & vise versa. Maybe, try in a different flavor of food. I do know that some "human" supliments can kill a cat.

I put in a 20 pound bag of dog food, and have plenty of room left over. We also have cats, so I am familiar with how big a bag of cat food is, and I can't imagine a 15 pound bag of cat food filling up much more than half of the container. Quick note - we use grain free foods, so those may be denser and take up less room than other types of food.

I thought it was 3 as well, that's why I ordered it. I'm disappointed, because I have 2 cats and need to fill 2 litter boxes and thought that this would be exactly what I needed to have waiting for us when we arrived at our destination this week.

I can't recommend a specific brand of food as all of my cats are on a vet prescribed diet, which is the Royal Canin Spay/Neutered formula & those pieces can go through the big holes fine. We have to get our food through the actual vets office (ugh!)

Here's the info from the Merrick website about this specific food (copy and paste link for info): http://www.merrickpetcare.com/consumer/products/product.jsp?id=46&page;=1&view;=list&sort;=category_3&order;=asc&name;=Chicken&c;ategories=Cat-Before-Grain-Dry&age;=All_Life_StagesI googled 'merrick before grain', then went to their website and clicked on 'our products' then 'cats' and then chose 'before grain'. You can go through a similar process to pick out and compare other foods by that company based on their claims. Good luck.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer the question as I emptied the bag into another container and threw the bag away. I can say that my cat's vet recommended this item after our visit in January due to the condition of her calculus build-up. It seems to me to be better and Luna loves them. I give her one each morning and that is usually what she eats first.

I am not sure about this food, I haven't had it long. What I have done in the past though is to break the bag up into zipper freezer bags and put them in the freezer. I would think this would work very well with this food since it is a more natural product. My cat didn't care for this food but I have heard other's love it.
