Cat Food: Friskies VS. Iams

My girls are the proud owners of an orange cat named Pebbles. Pebbles is a healthy cat in general, but has acid reflux disease for cats. We tested many brands to find the right one for her. This article will review 2 of the brands and tell you which was perfect for our cat.

Price: We know cat food comes in dry and canned. This article will only be reviewing the dry food since it is what we buy the most often. First, I should tell you that they don't sell dry food in the same sizes. Friskies has 50.40-oz dry bags and 3.15-lb bags for $4.49 on sale for $3.15. Iams has 64-oz bag of dry food for $8.59 on sale for $7.49. The only way I can show you that Friskies is cheaper is to tell you that Friskies sells a 288-oz bag for $11.49 on sale for $8.99. The sale price is almost the same as Iams 64-oz regular price of $859. The thing is you get 224 oz more. That is a big difference.

Variety: Friskies has 4 major categories of dry food with numerous flavors within each group. The first group is called Friskies Seafood Sensations. It includes an ocean of flavors including ocean fish, albacore tuna, salmon, yellow fin tuna and crab, plus a touch of seaweed. The second group is called Friskies Indoor Delights. This helps control hairballs and maintain a healthy weight with delicious chicken, beef, turkey, cheese flavors and a touch garden greens. The third group is called Friskies Signature Blend. This blend is for cats that want it all, seven tantalizing flavors: chicken, beef, tuna, turkey, salmon, cheese and egg. The fourth and final group is called Friskies Feline Favorite. Variety-loving cats will love the chicken, seafood and liver flavors with Real Carnation Milk. Iams offers 9 different kinds of dry cat food for adult cats. They include the following: Weight Control, Original with Chicken, Original with Ocean Fish and Rice, Indoor Weight & Hairball Care, Original with Lamb & Rice, Hairball Care, Multi-Cat with Chicken, Multi-Cat with Chicken & Salmon, Original with Tuna.
