Summary

IAMS Adult Salmon is a dry cat food formulated to meet the nutritional needs of adult cats aged 1 year and older, with a focus on supporting immunity, digestion, heart health, and skin condition.
The first ingredient is dried chicken and turkey (40%), with chicken comprising 24%, providing a high-quality, animal-based protein source that supports lean muscle maintenance and overall vitality.
With 35% crude protein and 14% fat, the formula offers a nutrient-dense profile suitable for active adult cats, helping to sustain energy levels and support metabolic function.
Salmon is included at 4.5%, contributing additional animal protein and serving as a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support skin health and a glossy coat.
The product contains 87% animal protein (as a percentage of total protein), indicating a strong emphasis on biologically appropriate protein sources for obligate carnivores.
Omega-3 (0.4%) and omega-6 (2.7%) fatty acids are included to promote a healthy skin barrier and reduce inflammation, which is beneficial for cats with skin sensitivities.
Taurine is present at 0.2%, an essential amino acid that supports cardiac function and vision, both critical for feline health.
A tailored fiber blend, including 2% dried beet pulp and 0.7% fructooligosaccharides (FOS), provides prebiotic support for gut health and promotes regular digestion.
The formula is wheat-free and contains no fillers, artificial colors, flavors, or GMOs, which may appeal to owners seeking a more natural feeding approach.
Calcium (1.3%), phosphorus (1.1%), and magnesium (0.088%) are balanced to support bone health and urinary tract function in adult cats.

Pros
Expand All
1

High animal protein content

87% of the total protein is derived from animal sources, supporting muscle maintenance and overall feline health.
2

Skin and coat support

Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids help maintain a healthy skin barrier and promote a shiny coat.
3

Digestive health support

Prebiotics like FOS and beet pulp aid in maintaining a balanced gut microbiome and support stool quality.
4

Heart health formulation

Taurine at 0.2% supports cardiac muscle function, which is essential for adult cats.
5

Free from common additives

The absence of artificial colors, flavors, GMOs, and wheat may reduce the risk of dietary sensitivities.
Cons
Expand All
1

Use of maize and rice

These carbohydrate sources may be less desirable for owners seeking low-carb or grain-free diets for their cats.
2

Relatively low salmon content

At only 4.5%, salmon is not a primary protein source despite being highlighted in the product name.
3

Moderate ash content

At 6.5%, the ash level may be a consideration for cats with kidney or urinary sensitivities.
4

Limited transparency on vitamin levels

Specific values for most vitamins are not provided, making it difficult to assess micronutrient adequacy.
5

Unspecified fish oil quantity

While fish oil is included, the lack of a declared amount limits evaluation of its omega-3 contribution.

How the score is calculated?

The actual calculation of the score is based on sophisticated and advanced algorithm that takes into account multiple parameters.

To simplify the explanation, the calculation is based on three main criteria:

(1) Amount of protein (more is better)

(2) Amount of carbohydrates (less is better)

(3) Quality and source of ingredients.

Based on that 3 main criteria, 9 score calculation rules are used to compare the different foods.

One major assumption is that the closer an ingredient is to the top of the ingredient list, the greater its relative weight and contribution to the food.

In general, cat food is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers, vitamins, and minerals.

Protein is the most important component in a cat's diet, and cats primarily get their protein from animal meat.

Fat is a primary source of energy and essential fatty acids.

Carbohydrates are controversial in a cat's diet, as cats are obligate carnivores and typically consume very few carbohydrates.

Fibers play an important role in digestion and food absorption, and vitamins and minerals are essential for different organism functions.

Dry matter values are used to compare the amount of nutrients in different cat foods. This means that moisture is excluded from the equation to provide a more accurate comparison.

Putting all of these and more into a formula results in a product score.

The maximum score a cat food can receive is 100. Points are added or removed based on the score calculation rules.
