I've already said before on here with Iams that the food over here is a lot different ingredient wise than the food in the UK but I didn't realise exactly how different until now. Our boys are finally old enough to get switched from kitten food so after a lifetime (literally) of just eating Iams dry kitten with various wet food we are going with Nutro Indoor Cat. I was just looking over the various posts in this forum about and people not recommending it over others and then decided to look at the difference in the ingredient lists.
