Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken Dry Cat Food
Chicken is ingredient number one.
The everyday Iams dry bag on the Canadian site comes in three weights: 1.59 kg, 3.18 kg and 7.26 kg. The page adds beet pulp, prebiotics and a fibre blend, and it says the recipe has zero fillers.
A feeding trial line claims firmer stools in 10 days. Results may vary. A guaranteed protein percent did not load with the page text.
Mars sells this brand. Separate press notes name two US plants that produce Iams. This listing does not mention the Bolton Whiskas site.

Imported
This adult chicken kibble is a Mars food. The Canadian listing leaves the factory blank. A 2016 Mars note says the Henderson, North Carolina site produces Iams, and a later note adds Mattoon, Illinois.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken made in Canada?
The Canadian listing does not say that. This chicken recipe leaves the plant blank. A 2016 company release puts Iams production at the Henderson plant in North Carolina. The Bolton investment names Whiskas instead.
Who owns Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken?
Mars lists the Iams name with its pet care brands. The company is family owned and keeps its headquarters in McLean, Virginia. That ownership is not a Canadian plant.
What sizes does Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken come in?
Three weights show on the listing, starting at 1.59 kg and topping out a bit past 7 kg. The benefit line often features the smallest bag even when the header shows a larger one.
What is the first ingredient in Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken?
The page says chicken leads this recipe. A full ingredient string did not load with the listing, so the rest of the panel has to be read off the bag.
Does Iams Proactive Health Adult Chicken name a protein percent?
Not in the text that loaded. The page talks about fibre, prebiotics and beet pulp, plus a 10-day stool trial. It does not print a guaranteed analysis there.
