These guideline amounts are a starting point and your cat may need more food depending upon age, activity and temperament. In order to reach optimal body condition, you may need to adjust food intake. This represents the total recommended volume of food per day. You should divide the total recommended feeding amount by the number of times you feed your cat per day to get the actual portion size per feeding.
If you have a kitten, pregnant or nursing cat, we recommend feeding IAMS kitten food.
Remember to have clean, fresh water available for your cat at all times.

Start by mixing 25% new food with 75% of the current formula. Slowly change the proportions over the next 3 days or so by gradually increasing the new food and lessening the amount of the current food. At the end of the weaning process, you should be feeding 100% of the new food.

better than most
By catmom4 on Jan 24, 2021
It is a genuine nightmare to try to search for foods that my cats will like. The worst part is trying a food that’s expensive but good for them and finding out they hate it. That happens to me with so many brands why I don’t know but for whatever reason my fat cats like most things from Ian’s. Through this cat food is not as low in calories as some other foods I’ve seen from the more expensive brands. I mean really what are we comparing 302 cal a cup versus 288. That seems like a big deal in the long run but if the cats are not gonna eat it and it’s a waste of money then what does it matter.

Piper Loves It
By Savannah on Feb 3, 2021
Piper has been gaining some weight recently now that he isn't able to get out as much during the cold (we've gotten down to 8 degrees here), so I wanted to get him something to help him with his weight loss. Although I haven't had this food for long, I have to say he has never tried to claw through a bag of cat food to get to the food inside before until I got him the IAMS indoor cat food. He absolutely LOVES his new food. I also think Chewy has a great price on this food and I wouldn't get it anywhere else.

Happy Cat = Happy Pops
By MrPhil on Feb 1, 2021
The feisty duo were in high energy gear. Clearly the kitten food their aunt gifted them has them running, jumping, and causing relatively good havoc across their realm. Though happy with the kitten food, their weight was becoming excessive. To counter this, Iams ProActive Health Indoor Weight & Hairball Care Dry Cat Food was purchased and mixed with the kitten food. This has helped to ease the weight gain and seems to have help to reduce their weight to something more fitting the size of their realm.

Made a difference
By HappyCustomer on Feb 18, 2021
I am not one for buying into "name brands", but I have tried many brands and nothing has helped Carlos with his frequent hair balls. And I mean frequent. I tried Iams, and saw a difference within days. I went back to a cheaper brand cat food maybe 1/3 way thru the bag we are back to hair balls. I'm sticking with Iams now!

Works great for hairball control
By LuvCats on Jan 17, 2021
After several months of her throwing up her food with a hairball in it every 2-3 days, we are now on day 6 of no throwups or hairballs & her poop is good-she always tended to be a little constipated on the sensitive food the vet said she should have, but it started the hairball problem. Be patient, the hairball control with this food doesn't happen overnight, may take several days or a week but it's worth the wait 'cause it does work!

Best Food for Hairball Problems
By Tish on Jan 26, 2021
My fur baby has terrible troubles with hairballs. I give her Laxatone to help her rid of them but when I switched to Iams with the hairball care it really does help her. I have trouble finding this brand in the stores so Chewy is really helping me out plus delivery to my front door is wonderful! I definitely recommend this item.

Only food that my cat doesn't puke on
By Nina on Jan 31, 2021
This is the only dry food that seems to help with one of cats stomachs. She tends to vomit up whole chunks of food but this has decreased since switching to this brand. Also it does seem to help my other cats keep their weight. Love this food and will continue to buy

By Cynderz on Jan 17, 2021
IAMS Proactive Health Indoor Weight & Hairball Care Dry Cat Food have solved my kitty's hairball problem. And, buying it from Chewy means that I don't have to lug that big bag up the stairs to my apartment! AND, the price was lower than my local Pet Supply store! I call that "Winning, winning AND WINNING!"

cats are slowly losing weight!
By Brit on Dec 6, 2020
I got this cat food: 1) to save money and 2) to help my cats lose some weight. I noticed my cats to start losing weight after finishing a 12lb bag of this cat food so I decided to keep buying this brand. My cats seem to like it. I noticed that my heavier cat (~12-13lb) is more active now which is a huge plus! The only downside is that both of my cats are always wanting food. However, this isn’t a huge issue as one of my cats always wants food, and it doesn’t matter the kind of cat food that she is on. I am not sure if it helps with hair balls as my cats never had an issue with hair balls. Will continue to buy this brand of cat food!

She loves it and so do I!
By MissKitty on Jan 28, 2021
My beautiful large and lovely plus size model loves the taste of this food. I love the fact that it should help with her weight and her hairballs (she's a longhaired beauty who loves to groom). A keeper for sure!
