Getting Started with Merlins Salmon Powder

We designed Merlins Salmon Powder to be as simple as possible — just one scoop of 100% freeze-dried salmon to boost your cat’s health every day. But like with any new addition to their diet, it’s important to introduce it in a way that keeps your cat happy and comfortable.

Here’s our step-by-step guide to getting started 👇

1. Serving Suggestions by Cat Size

Every cat is unique, but here’s a simple starting point:

• Small cats / kittens (under 3kg): ½ scoop per day

• Medium cats (3–5kg): 1 scoop per day

• Large cats (5kg+): 1–2 scoops per day

💡 You can sprinkle it over meals, mix it with water for extra hydration, or even serve it as a little treat.

2. First Impressions Matter

Many cats take to Merlins Salmon Powder straight away. The natural salmon aroma is irresistible — don’t be surprised if they’re trying to dip their paws in the pouch before you’ve even served it!

But remember: cats are naturally cautious with new scents and tastes. Their strong sense of smell makes them sensitive to even small changes in their food. So, if your cat doesn’t dive right in, don’t worry — it’s completely normal.

3. Gradual Introduction Works Best

If your cat hesitates at first, try this gentle approach:

• Day 1–2: Add just a tiny pinch to their food, enough to introduce the smell without overwhelming them.

• Day 3–4: Slowly increase the amount each day as they become more comfortable.

• Day 5+: Build up to the full recommended serving for their size.

This gradual method helps your cat adjust at their own pace, making mealtimes stress-free.

4. Building the Routine

Once your cat is happily eating Merlins Salmon Powder, consistency is key. A daily scoop will help support:

✔️ Skin & coat health
✔️ Joint mobility & brain function
✔️ Kidney health
✔️ Happier mealtimes with added nutrition

We’ve found the best results come with consistent daily use over 3+ months — especially for long-term support with skin, coat, joints, brain, and kidney health.

Final Tip

Patience pays off. Whether your cat loves it from the first sniff or takes a few days to settle into the new routine, once it’s part of their day, you’ll both see the benefits.

Because at the end of the day, Merlins isn’t just a supplement — it’s a step towards helping your cat live a longer, healthier, and happier life.
