Just like for most of us, mealtime is the most important part of a cat's day. And like humans, taking a proactive approach to health through diet is essential for cats' maximum health and happiness.

Thanks to IAMS—and some pro tips from Dr. Angela Hughes, DVM PhD, the Science Advocacy Senior Manager at Mars Petcare—serving your fur baby premium food that delivers optimal nutrition, energy, and that supports a healthy metabolism no matter their age, is easier than you might think. Read on for some meow-worthy mealtime tips and how to tell when your cat might not be feeling 100%.

MEOW-WORTHY MEALTIME TIPS

  • Curb nocturnal food demands by switching from morning to evening mealtimes.
  • Kittens may have a big appetite, but they have small stomachs; divide their food into 3-4 meals and serve throughout the day. Feed IAMS Perfect Portions for two fresh meals and zero messy leftovers.
  • When changing your cat's diet, use a ratio of 25% new food to 75% old food. Over three days, slowly increase the amount of new food as you decrease the amount of old food.
