IAMS Proactive Health Adult Healthy Dry Cat Food with Salmon, 3.5 lb. Bag

The cat I rescued was probably abused, so I have - for four years now - allowed her to be who she is. Which includes being an anorexic eater. I have spent so much on cat food, cat toys and perches and houses, I could have bought her a car. The only thing she likes is yarn. She finds my yarn and carries into the other room, drops it meowing and I thank her very much and put it in the basket there. There are about four baskets filled to the top. Now she will bring me a yarn from that basket to the bed while I am crocheting this blanket. Sometimes I realize I need a yarn that is in the basket. I have to wait until she is asleep and can't see me, and I take the yarn back.She won't eat wet, so I have about 15 bags of Kibble I remove about two morsels from each bag, add a little bit of treats, and then check what she has left. Those are the bags that get donated.When I was looking for a cat, a daughter went with me. I saw Tazzy immediately and only had eyes for her. Even though she first jumped to the ceiling landing on the cat crates and then jumped to a shut window clawing it to get out, I wanted her. My daughter kept telling me - you have gone crazy . How are you going to take care of her. She was 8 months old. Well, she She is beautiful. The lightest green eyes and a tail that matches a lion's tail - well a baby lion. And I thought that she might not be adopted since she is so weird.Upon arrival she ran into the walk-in-closet where I kept the cat litter box. She used the box and then went under my clothes. I crawled on my stomach two times a day to feed her - under my clothes . A month later she walked out of the closet and since then she has ruled the roost.Her feedings were always traumatic. It took me about an hour to open each back that was still standing and put a couple of kibble in the dish. Each night, after a feeding, I would go through the kibble left and take that bag out for donation.Last week I saw the IAM Proactive somewhere on this site, and it was 3 1/2 pounds which was a plus and I hadn't bought hat yet, and figured this bag would be easier for me to take to the shelter I donate -to take the unused portion to the shelter. That night I was sitting on the bed, crocheting a blanket that is scheduled for a gift for Christmas. Tazzy was on the bed with ime, which is a new thing for her. I guess after four years she has figured out the bed is the softest place to be.IAM had not been opened yet, so decided I will see if she will take a bite. Now or never. I put a small portion on a paper dish and put it down in front of her. I was stunned. My mouth literally popped open in astonishment. She had eaten what I had put on the plate. in about five minutes. About five minutes later she started to meow and jumped off the bed because she wanted more. And then that evening for feed time I only gave her this, and one other she likes and a couple of treats. No more standing and measuring from each bag. After four years of begging her to eat just one, she has found herself. Four years later she has asked for more of this food than at any time during her four years. Not ony does she love it, she asks for it. And now a week later, she has taken for granted this food is her food to keep. And I am an IAM fan. And hope they never change the ingredients.Our family has a group text, and I immediately went onto that. Everyone knows how difficult Tazzy was, but now this is a new Tazzy. She loves being with me during the day. - and just that she is eating I was so elated. She is finally eating something that is nutritious, and she likes it. She really likes it. I love the smaller bags and am going on after this to place an order again, because I never want to run out of this. So if you have a cat that is a picky eater, do purchase this. If Tazzy could talk, she would endorse it.Or even if you don't have a picky cat, this is a great food. I like the ingredients. To her, this is like eating the best steak (if you are meat eater) ever. I am an IAM fan.

The chicken-based formula provides a great source of protein, helping to keep her active and energetic throughout the day. I’ve also noticed an improvement in her coat—it’s shinier and softer than ever before. The balanced nutrients seem to help with digestion too, as her litter box habits have been consistent and odor-free.

My cats love the Iams dry food, I’ve been using this brand on and off for years, no complaints from my cats, hardly any digestive issues, soften it’s not to hard, no diarrhea, smell isn’t strong, cats are asking for more, I do recommend for any cats taste. Price bit to expensive it can break your pocket for multiple feeding cats .

Quality cat food. Multi-cat household & they all love it & thrive on it.Item delivered in timely manner. No damage to package.

Good ingredients and the cats like it.

My cat love her food. My cat stays healthy and her coat is shiny.

Real chicken is the 1st ingredient. Keeps my kitties fuller longer unlike brands that are corn. They love the taste and are healthier overall.

The smell of this food just smells like a pleasant dry well cooked salmon. Does not overpower you or smell bad In any way, it's a hard small crunchy kibble. It does not give my cat's diarrhea or any nausea. I feed it to them for lunch and in between food as I feed them wet food in the morning and wet food at night. One bag for 2 cats lasts about 3 months. I Keep it sealed up tightly in an old plastic washed out cat litter bucket in the bag still. It stays Fresh, they love the taste. It does stay fresh easily if it's sealed. It is an excellent value for the price. I've done a lot of research on animal foods for my cats & my dogs. This brand of dry cat food has the most nutrients for an affordable value for my budget. An all around great product. We've been buying it for about 5 years now. We will continue to buy it an repurchased this product As long as they sell it. my cats have had no health issues since they have been on it.
