Questions & Answers

17 Customer Questions

did they change the shape of the food ?

Answer by Chewy • Sep 01, 2018
This food has undergone a packaging change and many customers have noted that the kibble size has gotten smaller.

My cats love the kitten food. is it ok to just keep feeding them this even though they are 1 year old and 4 year olds. they don't throw up, which has been a problem.

Answer by Chewy • Apr 25, 2019
Since kitten food is formulated to assist kittens with development, it's recommended to switch them to adult food after they're over 1 year old.

How many cups are in the 16 lb bag?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 09, 2019
There will be approximately 4 cups of kibble per pound. The 7 pound bag will have close to 28 cups and the 16 pound bag close to 64 cups.

Is this made in the USA

Answer by Chewy • Feb 04, 2019
Iams formulas are manufactured in either Henderson, NC, Leipsic, OH, or Aurora, NE.

Higher protein and fat for cold winter climate

I got this for my cats since we live in a very cold high desert climate. They are 100% indoor cats but I wanted them to have more fat and protein to burn for warmth

I got this for my cats since we live in a very cold high desert climate. They are 100% indoor cats but I wanted them to have more fat and protein to burn for warmth. They all loved it and I recommend it for kittens or adults that need extra nutrition.

I work with a local rescue and my Humane Society as a Community Coordinator, and we often get underweight, malnourished kittens that have been abandoned. This food, in tiny bites, has been a huge help getting these babies to s healthy weight. I have tried it ed many brands, and this one wins, hands down. Even the most picky eaters love it, and it's wonderful for adult cats who need extra care due to injury or abandonment. I have this on auto ship - it's that good!

I have a couple of cats that will eat it. I’ve taken away the other cat chow, but I have a lot of angry frustrated cats as a result. It’s not going well and I have had the Proactive Urinary chow for a year and still keep it available. Maybe the creater of this chow should make it more palpable.

Kitty loves it!

When I adopted my cat from a rescue, they were very strict about the instructions and wanted me to keep him on the food that he was on, which was Purina Kitten Chow

When I adopted my cat from a rescue, they were very strict about the instructions and wanted me to keep him on the food that he was on, which was Purina Kitten Chow. He decided he didn’t want it anymore so I had to buy Iam’s and he absolutely loves it! I had to donate the bag of the other food to the rescue, LOL

Iams Kitten food

I have adopted two new kittens and they love Ias kitten cat food. It is gentle on their stomaches and I feel confident it meets their nutritional needs.
