My Cats are Much Less Annoying, Thanks to Iams

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2017

This cat food is awesome. I have one particular cat that takes liquid dumps when he eats any brand of cat food that I have given him, except for Iams indoor. Occasionaly, I buy cheap cat food at the gas station when I run out and need a temporary fix. All of my cats' problems come back... hair balls, diarrhea, overeating etc. I have no explanation for it, but there is dentinitely something different about this brand, not just clever marketing.

Watch out for mold!

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2020

I have this on a monthly auto delivery and this is the second time I’ve gotten part way into a bag (which I pour into an airtight storage container) and discovered clumps of what looks like mold. There were several larger pieces more than the ones in the picture. The first time I though maybe it was a one off and just got rid of it, but this is the second time and now that’s 2 large bags I’ve had to throw away. I’ll be changing brands.

Finicky cat loves it

Flavor Name: ChickenSize: 7 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I have used this specific cat food for years. My cat is a long haired whie cat, incredibly finicky. The vet suggested it and Isabella will eat it, in fact, it is the ONLY cat food, wet or dry that she condescends to eat. .so yes, I am very pleased with the product.

As my cat has gotten older, she has been putting me through the test with food. She would stop eating midway through a bag, even the smallest I could buy. She would appear to be "tired" of the taste, and the fool human that I am, I kept changing her out (gradually adjusting to something new). People said, "Leave it there and she'll eat it", but she wouldn't! I noticed a bit of a weight loss and got concerned enough for a vet visit who said she was getting older, not as active, doesn't need so much, but suggested Iams. I just ordered more of this because she finished off the bag. Enough said.

Unsafe for feline consumption

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

Flavor Name: ChickenSize: 7 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

Accidently purchased this stuff instead of the normal Purina I buy for my cat since it now comes in the same teal colored bag. Big mistake. About a week after introducing this Iams food, my cat became incredibly ill with vomiting and loose stools. It became progressively worse over the following day, and I ended up having to rush her to the emergency vet. Determined cause of illness? Gastroenteritis caused by the food as it’s the only thing she eats. One $220 vet bill later, my cat is healthy and acting normal again. Will never buy this garbage again, should be recalled as it’s unsafe. Once I did my research, there have been numerous complaints about this same thing happening to other cat owners who use the same food. Save yourself and your kitty friend a lot of headache and buy another cat food!

This may be a lifetime supply!

Our old kitty, Ishtar, now about 20 years old, loves her Iams. Darlene, our "cat whisperer" who ordinarily takes care of buying cat food when it gets low was ill, so I got a small sack in the local drug store but thought I should buy a larger sack. For some reason, I had no idea how big a 22 pound sack is! It came packed in a large box and I could barely pick it up. This is a bargain, compared with buying the small sacks, but be sure you understand just how large a sack it is, and have a good place to store it, away from the mice and rats who surely would love to chew holes in the sack and feast on it! I hope that Ishie, our beloved Tuxedo Cat, will outlast the food.

What can we say about Iams? Our local big box pet store no longer stocks it, but our animals have always loved it and done well on it. This flavor works well with an older cat, who is no longer getting a lot of exercise roaming the yard searching for varmints. She sleeps a lot now and never goes outside, and this is perfect for her.

Recipe changed! Not for the better!

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018

Flavor Name: ChickenSize: 22 Pound (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

A recipe change occurred with this product mid-2018 from "Chicken" to "Chicken, Turkey, and Garden Greens". Cats did better on the old recipe than anything I've ever fed them. The new recipe has them vomiting all over. Even the dog regretted sneaking a few bites of the cats' new food.

Stay away from this new product. Judging by my experience and the mounting number of reviews, it's either inferior to the old product or it's contaminated.

Both of my cats really super love this stuff. My cat immediately stopped with the dry coughs and got the furball out! Like within 24 hours of starting this food. It works! Fast! Phew.

I've used another furball food dry and wet by Science Diet, but it actually made my cats really sick and the poo smelled so bad on that stuff. The poo smell isn't terrible on this, but not great either. The kib size on these is great too, really little. Other hairball foods I've tried have had huge size kibs which look more like dog food.

The actual scent of the food isn't the best, but the cats love the flavor... a lot. I was worried about moldy food looking at the pics, but mine was fresh, no issues. I dumped the whole thing out to inspect it.

It's a good value for the money. I don't know if it will be a good diet food too, we will see. My monsters definitely need to shed a few lbs. I ordered the 7# bag for starters, I definitely am going to order it again.

Lots of paws up on this food so far.

My cat is very fat.

I gots me a bit of a chubblette going on here in the meow department.
We're not talking a little bit of fuzz here, we're talking an over twenty pounder.
I don't want her to have health issues and I don't like having to clean her butt for her.
So I pulled her off the chow and stuck her on this stuff. Which she doesn't like too much.
That's not a bad thing when I need that stacked tray of fuzzy meatload to shed a few pounds is it.
This stuff hasn't given UTI's to my meow. The chow brand of weight loss meow food did.
She's been enjoying this sort of meow food for almost a year.
In the first six months she melted off five pounds. The proof is the shrinking bowl of furr pudding.

I originally had my male cat on Iams and had no issues. We got another cat and we decided to "upgrade" their cat food to Blue Buffalo. After the switch, they kept getting crystals and I would have to rush them to the vet because they were peeing blood. I happened to go onto the review page of Blue Buffalo and saw where people were saying do not feed your cats Blue Buffalo because it is causing cats to pee blood. Once I read the review it clicked that my cats also were having that issue after I switched to B.B. I switched back to Iams and it was great. No more rushing to the vet over bloody urine. We deviated one more time from Iams and once again my female had bloody urine. So now they are permanently on IAMS. The vet recommended special foods which would have costed an arm and a leg but it has been years with no bloody urine. They love IAMS and we have never had issues with the food. Side note: I am not saying IAMS will cure crystals or bloody urine in all cats. Just saying how it helped with mine.
