I'm sorry, I can't give that "Iams is great" endorsement you're looking for. The best I can say is that it's the best of the "grocery store" cat foods. And that (Iams adult original) at least protein sources are the top two ingredients, not grains. I haven't bought it for a while, but if my memory serves, it was about $7 for a 5# bag. For about $9 for a 5# bag you can buy a top-quality super-premium cat food. Although that almost 30% more the price is deceptive, because many people find that their cats actually need to eat less of a super-premium food.
