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 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.

We have 5 very happy healthy cats thanks in part to Chewy. The convenience of having everything we need delivered when we need it is great, and tailoring every shipment to current needs is wonderful. I especially like a delivery schedule that is automatic yet can be adjusted as needed. I have recommended Chewy to many friends and will continue to spread the word.

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.

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.

My Maine Coon constantly has hair balls. Tried everything, to no avail. Finally bought a small bag of Iams hairball treatment. TA-DA!! no hairballs. Where she used to get one every month. Now is one every 9 months. Love this and so does she. And my other vast loved it also. Give it a try.

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 have been using IAMS hairball control for my cat for 6 years now. It provides my cat with a balanced diet and really helps cut down on those pesky hairballs.

This was the alternative to what my cat was eating. I guess the previous one was discontinued. She eats it and is healthy. Nothing to complain about and great price!

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.
