- Just a note on IAMS and FUS:
-
- Until 6 months ago, my Vet recommend either IAMS or Science Diet for cats.
- However, he has since withdrawn his recommendation of IAMS. He told me that
- he has treated 7 cats in the last year for FUS that were fed an exclusive
- diet of IAMS. When I heard this, I immediately switched my 2 boys to
- Science Diet. Naturally they prefer IAMS. :-)
