Get the Health Nature Intended for Your Pet
Your pet is a member of your family. Whether you have a dog, a cat or both, it’s hard to imagine life without your furry friend. To ensure your pet enjoys a long, healthy life, give him everything he deserves — playtime, long walks, lots of love and, just as important, great nutrition.
  • A healthy, balanced diet ensures your pet has energy for vital bodily functions, such as the development of healthy teeth and bones, cell renewal and repair, and proper functioning of the heart and lungs. Your pet is primarily a carnivore with a digestive system designed for animal fats and proteins. However, fruits, vegetables and many other natural foods are also essential.

    The best way to provide these nutrients is not through supplements, but through a complete, balanced diet containing these essential vitamins and minerals:
    • Vitamin A is necessary for the growth and repair of your pet’s skin.
    • Vitamin E protects skin cells from oxidant damage.
    • Vitamin C helps heal your pet’s wounds.
    • Biotin aids in the utilization of protein.
    • Riboflavin and zinc are necessary for fat and protein metabolism.
    • Copper is involved in tissue pigment and protein synthesis.
    Just as eating natural foods helps you feel great, the same is true for your pet. That’s why Iams® created Healthy Naturals™.

    Learn how Iams Healthy Naturals can deliver 100 percent balanced nutrition for your pet — naturally.

    Iams Healthy Naturals for dogs and for cats offer easy options to give your pet the healthy food he loves and needs.

    These formulas deliver 100 percent balanced nutrition from all four food groups:
    • Natural protein comes from sources such as chicken, salmon, egg and lamb, and helps your pet build and maintain strong, lean muscle.
    • Natural vegetables (including tomatoes, spinach and peas) optimize the immune system. The beta-carotene found in carrots helps support your pet’s healthy vision.
    • Wholesome grains (including flax, barley and rice) provide energy to walk, run and keep up with other daily activities.
    • Natural fiber (from apples and beet pulp) supports your pet’s digestive system.
    Plus, Iams Healthy Naturals gives your pet antioxidants (including vitamin E) to help support the immune system, which is vital for good health and protection against viruses, bacteria and parasites. It also offers a wide variety of food choices for your unique pet.

    Help your pet stay healthier longer — starting with nutrition! Be sure you remind your pet each day how much he means to you — by showing him how much you care about his health. He’ll feel better when he gets all of the health nature intended.
