IAMS Proactive Health Healthy Senior Dry Cat Food with Chicken, 7 lb. Bag

My cat is a PICKY old lady!!!! Had a lot of teeth missing but I had to try and find something for her when we go on vacation….I don’t normally write reviews…but I HAD to in this case cuz I read others to help make the decision of buying this food…SHE LOVES IT!!!!! She’s actually eating this over her wet food even!!! So happy and relieved!

Just tried this for the first time today and both of my senior cats ate it right away! We have a 22 year old and a 14 year old, and they seemed to really like these kibbles as soon as it was served to them. Their main diet is canned food due to the fact that they don’t have strong thirst drives and we need to make sure they are hydrated. But they get tired of the same food sometimes so we change it up with kibbles. This one was a hit!

My cat got old and wouldn't eat any other kind of dry food. The purina pro senior food was so so and much better than others but ultimately he hated that one too. Switched to this and bam zero issue with this or the sensitive stomach one. He seems to love all of the iams dry food but he doesn't like the iams wet food. The wet food of choice is the purina senior pate chicken or tuna. He eats it all up every time. So originally my cat started getting skinny to the point that I considered it animal cruelty on my own part without even realizing it. But I always kept his bowl full an gave him wet food but he wasn't eating any of it. The dry food was the blue buffalo and the wet I kept trying all different types and nothing was working until the purina senior canned food. I didn't get a chance to weigh how thin he got but I'd say he was maybe down to 9 pounds possibly in the 8's but he is naturally a bigger cat so he was about 4 pounds underweight. I need to weigh him but from all my previous weights of him in the past I'd say he's maybe 14 pounds right now. Hes gotten quite heavy which is where he should be really. Trying to also make sure he's exercising so it isn't junk weight and really it just seems like he's gained healthy weight not just fat. So I'd have to give this food a million out of a million or a trillion out of a trillion because it really saved my cat from being in pain and suffering. He is much stronger now even at over 14 years old I saw him hop over my 7 foot high wall/fence with not really much of anything to grip onto. It always amazed me he could do that even when he was over 18 pounds but when he was down to 8 to 9 he couldn't. He never seemed like the most physically capable cat because hes so non aggressive. In reality hes a very strong cat and phycically could win but just isnt an alpha until he has to be hes a cute cat that just loves to be loved and doesnt have a mean bone in his body. Had another cat that would beat him up and had to get rid of it even tho it was a good cat and wouldnt ever hurt people but he didn't want anyone interfering he wanted his undevided attention and all of the love not half so he would fight the other and aggressively block him from coming near other people. But he would his jaws on his throat a lot and scared the crap out of me. He was a good cat on his own but wanted all the attention to himself I think it was because he was the first cat even though not by much. Children have the same type of jealousy between brothers and sisters with abandonment type issues.

My finicky cat loves this food. I get it cheaper from Amazon than from in town.

First day and my cats ate the whole bowl so quick. I bought it for my senior cat but my fat boy is getting older so I sprinkled some in his bowl and he picked the pieces right out! Safe to say kitty approved👍🏼

Henry the cat is 10+ years old now and I have been using Iams food from the beginning. Vet says he is in good shape and sees nothing wrong with him so as long as he’s healthy I’m good with it.

*picture is of piece size if your cat has trouble chewing big pieces like my boy*My cats definitely like this brand and this food. Hard to find good senior food in stores. It's a decent value and reliable! Some cats may have a hard time chewing since they are medium sized pieces of food rather than small.

I've been avoiding the switch from adult (orange bag) IAMS to senior (green bag) IAMS because -surprise!- my cat doesn't like change. And he's orange so his disdainful response to change is in no way subtle. Take, for example, his response to the fish toy that lay still until he touched it -at which point it suddenly jerked & jiggled- that I found mostly buried in his litter box...With about a month of kibbles left in the 7lb orange bag, I went all in and got a 7lb green bag, planning to mix the two initially to ease the transition or, in cat terms, perpetrate an atrocity against the status quo. I decided against deception and placed a bowl of nothing but senior next to the bowl of nothing but adult and was surprised when more than half of the adult was left when the bowl of senior was empty. OK, so I know that, technically, I've just expanded the menu and not really made a change. We'll see what happens when the orange bag is emptied and nothing but senior kibbles are on offer, but so far it's going well.
