FAQs
What age is considered 'senior' for cats eating this food?
Senior cats are typically considered to be 7 years and older. This food is specifically formulated for their age-related nutritional needs.
Can I mix this dry food with wet food?
Yes, you can mix IAMS Vitality Senior Cat Food with a complementary wet food. Ensure you adjust the total daily intake to prevent overfeeding. Consult your veterinarian for the best feeding strategy for your cat.
How should I store the IAMS Vitality cat food?
Store the food in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. After opening, ensure the bag is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture or air from degrading the kibble.
Is this food suitable for cats with allergies?
This food is free from wheat, fillers, artificial colours, flavours, and GMOs. However, if your cat has specific allergies, consult the ingredient list and discuss with your veterinarian.
What is the benefit of L-Carnitine in this food?
L-Carnitine helps your cat's body use fat for energy, which aids in weight control and maintaining a healthy body condition, especially important for less active senior cats.
How does this food help with joint health?
The food contains glucosamine, which is a natural building block for cartilage. This helps support the production of healthy joint cartilage, promoting mobility and comfort in senior cats.
How much food should I give my cat?
Feeding guidelines are typically provided on the packaging based on your cat's weight and activity level. It's best to use these as a starting point and adjust based on your individual cat's needs. Consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Cat refuses to eat the new food
Ensure a gradual transition over 7-10 days. Try warming the food slightly or mixing in a small amount of a favored wet food (if appropriate).

Slow down the transition process. If symptoms persist, consult your veterinarian.
Cat not maintaining a healthy weight
Monitor portion sizes based on feeding guidelines and your cat's activity level. Consult your veterinarian if weight loss or gain is significant.
