I believe it is made by the same company that makes Diamond brand pet foods(I could be wrong, though). The first thing I noticed about it is that it has corn gluten meal as the third ingredient.

IMO, getting Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul would be a better deal. Here the Chicken Soup is much chepaer than the Premium Edge.

Would you be able to order food online? You can check out www.petfooddirect.com to order from...I myself am placing an order tonight!
They have Chicken Soup on their website. Are you near any Petco or Petsmart stores? They also carry higher quality foods such as Nutro....

I think if you are going to choose between Iams(I just looked at your other thread) & Premium Edge, IMO the Premuim Edge is better.
