Question
I have two cats, 9 and 7.  The younger one used to vomit at least once daily, so we made a change to food for sensitive systems, from Purina and Iams.  They get 1/4 cup each twice a day and have gotten fat.  They eat nothing else; they don't go outside.  What should I do?

Answer
Hi Linda:  Iams is loaded with Fillers that will make your cat plump.
How about a change to Innova for cats... get the Overweight formula.
Innova has just about no JUNK fillers.

I know you thought Iams was a good food but it is just a C rated food.
Innova is an A+++
Innova can be found at most pet stores.

Make the change over slowly... 1/2 the old food and 1/2 the amount of new food x 3 weeks...Then, go to 100% the NEW food.



Also, NuVET Plus for CATS- NOT sold in stores:  Buy from the manufacturer...
1-800-474-7044 EXT 265  ( call Joan, tell her about your cats...Tell Joan that Marie from All Experts sent you **** 81098)
NuVET powder for Cats is an excellent supplement/ immune system booster.

They have a taste guarantee.... or your money back.



Good luck with the food change over.
You will feed less of Innova because it has no fillers.
The poops will be smaller too.  They cats digest Innova better than the Iams.



BEST wishes
