Iams Adult Dry Cat Food Lamb

Cats get bored of one flavour of biscuit faster than most owners expect, which is the reason ranges exist instead of a single recipe repeated across three bag sizes.

This one is sold as the "Lamb" recipe in IAMS's adult range, though the numbers tell a slightly different story: dried chicken and turkey make up 40% of the mix, with lamb further down the list at 4%. It's a complete and balanced food for cats aged 1 year and over, built to the same profile as the rest of the range — 35% protein, 14% fat, and a tailored fibre blend that includes dried beet pulp.

• 100% complete and balanced dry food for cats aged 1 year and over
• Protein 35%, fat 14%, crude fibre 2%, crude ash 6.6%
• Dried chicken and turkey 40% (24% chicken) — the main protein, not the lamb
• Lamb makes up 4% of the recipe
• 87% of the protein is animal-based
• Wheat-free recipe, made in a factory that also handles wheat

On the name. Despite "Lamb" on the front, lamb is 4% of this recipe. Dried chicken and turkey make up 40% (24% of that is chicken) and are the dominant protein, with lamb added as a smaller ingredient rather than the headline one. It carries the same wheat-free claim as the rest of the range (made in a factory that also handles wheat), but it is not grain-free — maize and barley both appear on the list, and a previous listing calling it grain-free was wrong.

Who it's for: owners who want to add variety to an IAMS-fed cat's diet with a different flavour on the label — just don't buy it expecting a lamb-first recipe, because chicken is still doing most of the work.
