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.
Backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee
IAMS is so sure that you'll see a visible difference in your pet that they back their food with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Their recipes are formulated based on years of research and a dedication to keeping pets healthy through proper nutrition.

I've had my cat for 7 years and he's about 16-18 years old. I've always fed him IAMS because he seems to itch with other foods. He also has long fur that really sheds a lot, year round, so I'm stuck with only a couple choices for hairball care. Since he had bad gums and had to have all his teeth removed, he swallows dry food whole. I wish IAMS came in smaller pieces. I don't think I have the only cat with no teeth. Canned food seems to be more difficult for him to get into his mouth, but he tries. The type in the dark pink bag is a better size, but it's not available in the large bag. I recommend IAMS because I think it has lengthened the life span of my kitty.

Recievced my order as promised, very glad it comes in a thicker plastic bag as the deliver person left it under the dripping eve and the box was completly soaked. Cats love what was inside though and that is what matters most!

I give this food a very high rating because it covers all the essential needs of young and older felines. Use to use Science Diet but in comparison this company uses almost the same ingredients with an emphasis on nutritional health and healthy bones and muscles. The no Accounting title is not to diminish the product but because I live with such finicky cats. I have bought the senior, the hair ball formula and the indoor versions and my cats love the senior selection of Iams. Can't say why but unless I run a bit of water over this food and let the aroma permeate the dish, they just hardly bother. So if you too have finicky felines or canines, don't give up on Iams until you find the right I give this food a very high rating because it covers all the essential needs of young and older felines.

I haven't tried it long, only two weeks, so I can't really say if it has helped Snickers & her hairball issues. She loves the taste though, very much.

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!

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.

I recently purchased this Iams cat food to replace his previous food. The reason I replaced his old food coz it caused him pooping a lot and pretty smell badly. I had a high expectation on Iams coz of the good reviews. I dunno why but he's been eating Iams for almost a month and when he's pooping, I have to open all of the windows coz it smells so badly, worse than his old food. Very disappointing, so now I'll have to find a new food for him and hopefully it will reduce or eliminate the bad smell from his poop.

My box from Chewy arrived via Fed Ex on a Sunday. I was so pleased. My Himalayan had been throwing up after eating the previous catfood I had been feeding him. He now chooses the Hairball dish almost every time and no throwup! My Siamese cross grew larger and had a much better coat when she started to prefer the Hairball dish. I was so surprised at the length and thickness increase in her coat. That was the clincher to start buying larger bags of the IAMS Hairball! Thank you Chewy for the quick shipping!

Bonjovi our Russian Shorthair Cat only gets the best. We mix three different foods together so it’s not so boring. I just thought about myself how boring it would be to eat one food always. Iam and this mix is perfection. We mix with Royal Canin Vet Adult cat food. Never Science Diet since it broke a dog of ours teeth. It’s way to hard. So Iams and Royal Canin are perfect together.
