Hi there guys...

I've read a lot of bad stuff online about Iams Pet Food and wanted to know the opinion of everybody on here about whether it a suitable replacement for meat in jelly / gravy...

I currently feed my cat Go Cat Biscuits & either Felix or Whiskers Canned Food...

Opinions greatly appreciated as always

oh boy, the cat snobs may jump down your throat if they see you feed those foods

anyhow, mine have had iams kitten dry food, samples have picked up at cat shows, they like it but can't say much else as haven't used it, sorry.

Do you mean Iams wet or dry?

I used to feed my cat Iams dry (along with other wet food) as I was naive enough to fall for the adverts about how good it was, until I found out about their testing on animals. I don't know if this is still an issue but apart from that, I don't think their food is particularly good quality for the price, and I would rather feed higher quality foods. It contains maize and wheat I think, and I'd rather feed a grain free food.

On the other hand if you are talking about the wet, I have no experience of it myself, but the wet food A-Z says the meat content is unknown and it also contains sugars, so again, you could feed much better quality food for the same price, or even cheaper.

Bit harsh maybe, the OP asked for opinions so people will surely go ahead and share those opinions.

Whether or not that happens it will at least be an opinion rather than a negative ,meaningless post.

Mine always really liked Iams dry food though I no longer buy it. Iams wet food I never tried as it seemed expensive for what it contained. Whether its Iams dry or wet food you're thinking about, I believe there are better quality alternatives at a similar, or lower, cost.

As an aside, I don't really get the "cat food snob" thing. Surely its fact and not a matter of general opinion that cat foods aren't made equally?

Personally I haven't been able to see Iams in the same light since I read about their various animal testing experiments IamsCruelty.com. Whether it still goes on or not I will not condone a company that is capable of this.

I used to feed Iams to my two furry gannets and they had no problem with it. I did, however, stop when the above became common knowledge.

I am sure this is no longer the case but I won't risk giving them my hard earned wonga. I now give it to Royal Canin and the gannets are equally as happy with that!

The Iams cruelty case isn't as it seems and was stirred up by Peta but as they say mud sticks but this explains better than I could Is it true that Iams has been charged with cruelty to animals?
