Nature’s Wellness named petfood of the Year

Iams Nature’s Wellness cat food was been named petfood of the Year in last week’s Product of the Year awards. Iams said the award recognizes the product’s healthy balance and the company’s commitment to the long-term health of cats, according to an article by Glee Wire (UK).

“Iams is a brand that is all about offering cats a healthy diet for a lifetime of love,” said Iams UK and Ireland business leader Sophie Holdcroft. “It is great that this award recognizes that.”

Nature’s Wellness, which launched last February, is aimed at the premium end of the petfood market and contains 26% meat along with tomatoes, peas, carrots, spinach and apple. The company has branded the cat food as a five-a-day food, reflecting the government’s healthy eating campaign aimed at humans.

A formerly porky Labrador has been crowned the United Kingdom’s (UK) best slimming pet by a veterinary charity after shedding 22 pounds, according to an article on BBC News.

Keano, from Plymouth, England, UK, was so overweight at 101.4 pounds, he could not roll over on his back before joining the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals (PDSA) scheme.

Five obese dogs and one cat completed PDSA’s 100-day diet and fitness program, devised by vets.

The charity said canine obesity rose by 9% in the last year, which can cause potentially fatal conditions.
