The IAMS Nutritional Difference
IAMS asks you to try their cat food and look for the visible differences their food can make. The difference you'll see in your pet's health comes directly from the nutrients and vitamins you're putting into her bowl every day. IAMS is formulated with premium protein, a unique fiber blend and a customized mix of protein and carbs. The result is a diet that promotes a healthy weight, supports digestive health and gives her energy for all kinds of frisky business.
Healthy Weight
Protein is a key ingredient in IAMS cat food recipes. IAMS is made with high-quality protein to help your cat maintain strong, lean muscles. Animal-based proteins like chicken, beef and salmon can help your cat maintain healthy muscle structure and support an ideal weight. And they naturally provide all of the amino acids that cats need to thrive.
Playfulness and Energy
IAMS delivers a customized mix of protein and carbs to keep your cat energized and ready for pouncing and playing. As carnivores, cats need a diet that's high in animal proteins with the ideal ratio of protein to carbohydrates to maintain a healthy energy level. Cats on an IAMS diet are getting essential amino acids, including taurine, plus the amount of carbs they need for hunting feathery toys.
Healthy Digestion
Getting the right amount and type of fiber is important for your cat's digestive health. IAMS uses a proprietary fiber blend that includes prebiotics and beet pulp. Prebiotics feed the good bacteria in the gut, and beet pulp is a great fiber source that promotes a healthy digestive tract. Every IAMS recipe is tailored to your cat's nutritional needs with the proper level and right kind of fiber for healthy digestion.

My young adult cat developed severe diarrhea. He was negative for everything my Vet tested. She gave him a prescription anti-diarrhea liquid, I gave him pumpkin, changed to the non-grain food she recommended. Nothing changed. I sent my husband to buy another bag of what the Vet recommended but he couldn't find it so he bought a bag of this. I figured "Why not try it?". 12 hrs after the 1st meal the poop was noticably better. 36 hrs almost normal. 48 hrs normal. I was in tears with happiness. And because my cat loves the taste he put the weight back on pretty quickly. He's a long-haired cat & now his fur is back to being luxurious, he's acting like a young cat, no more diarrhea.

Yes, it costs a bit more but I went from complete litter box changes 2-3x a day to every other day and I can take the plastic off the furniture (he also had dribbles when he passed gas & would get the diarrhea on his paws & track it on the furniture). Im so grateful we accidentally found this food. I'm not sure why this worked so well, but if your cat has digestive issues it would be worth it to try this. I'm so, so grateful because I have no doubt my cat would have died from the diarrhea if it hadn't stopped. … more

My 2 cats seem to enjoy the taste better than the Iams indoor weight and hairball control food they were eating for years. However, only 4 stars as they still throw up once in a while. One cat has an enlarged heart (recently found out) and now takes an allergy pill for wheezing, the other cat is healthy. They are indoor cats.

This is good smelling cat food that my senior cats enjoy. Growing up they were fed the cheapest food out there and they threw up a lot and had hairballs. Six months on this and they are much happier, as am I since I'm not cleaning up their hairballs. I'm aware IAMS is not looked at to be the best all natural brand. But its affordable and I've truly noticed a difference in my adult cats.

All my cats are 10 years to 17 years old. They were having a lot of hairball and tummy issues. Not every issue has been solved by switching to the hairball IAMS but they see to be getting sick less often. Glad I switched

Normal buy, chicken. Looking at chewy website and see the familiar color for chicken on bag. So I buy 22lb. Cats won,t eat. Upon closer look, in the corner it says "salmon and chicken". Crap, other flavors seem to be color coded. Normally wife buys cat food and has made same error.(told me after). Stuck with a bid bag. Not chewys fault.

I have been feeding this for several years. I have 3 senior cats and they all love it! I have had very few instances of hair balls which has been a problem in the past.

Oh! Scuze me <urp!> Sometimes when I eat fast, I get the "urps." I like Iams! So does my adopted brother, Boomer. Thing of it is...mommy bought us FIVE bags of food (she said something about the prices being the best she'd ever seen, so that's why she bought so many bags!), and...well...we just can't EAT them that fast! Hmmm...maybe that's why I have the "urps"! Anyway, I mentioned how much we both like Iams and she said we could have that bag next IF we slowed down our eating a bit (Boomer erps sometimes, too), so we both promised we would. I figure another 2 days of what's in the 'Munchies' jar and we're good to go with Iams! All three of us are just sooo-oo happy!

My cat has been eating Iams Hairball Cat Food with chicken only all his life. Now Iams has added salmon to this product. There was no way the addition shown on the front of the bag was clear enough to let me know the salmon had been added; in fact my cat just won't eat any kind of fish so I would not have bought it if I had known. Spoke to a representative at Iams and basically she was unable to help me INCLUDING NOT GIVING ME A REFUND FOR AN UNUSABLE BAG OF CAT FOOD! I am very disappointed.

During winter, my cats tend to hack up in the middle of the night. They are 12 and 13 years old, and my former standby dry cat food has been excellent, however, I wanted to try a hairball care remedy cat food. Even though I brush both cats thoroughly twice a day, the hacking up was occasionally occurring. It seems like this IAMS cat food has lessened the issue. I still keep both their regular and a small plate of the IAMS out for them and I think it's helping. The shipping so soon was convenient and FAST! One cat likes the IAMS more than than the other cat does. Go figure.

Loves it . Boy can be very fussy. I've tried many cat foods,both wet and dry. He will eat it for a few days then turn his nose up at it. So far he's been eating the Sheba and Iams for almost three weeks
