Hi Marielena,
The IAMS, Hills, and Kirkland are all mass produced and do not contain high quality ingredients, there's just no other way to say it. IAMS is owned by Proctor and Gamble, Hills by Colgate Palmolive, and the Kirland brand, I don't know, you would have to ask the company who manufactures their food for them. Why not visit Beth's site, http://www.NutritionForCritters.com and read about the HealthyPetNet foods. As for the daily cost to feed, dogs and cats eat less Life's Abundance than with other brands because the food is highly digestible: high quality ingredients, high quality manufacturing practices, and freshness. I would recommend feeding your dogs Life's Abundance for three months and decide if the differences you see in your pets are worth the little extra money you might spend. My feeling, knowing you here on Ryze, is that you will be so pleased with what this product does for your beloved pets!
For your kitties, the same applies regarding the quality of the foods. When cats regurgitate after eating it's often because they eat too quickly. For cats we recommend feeding both a dry and a canned food so that the cat receives adequate nutrition. Canned foods are 70-80 percent water and most cats don't consume enough volume to get enough real food out of a canned-only diet. If you are feeding some dry food, one way to get a cat to slow down is to spread the kibble pieces on a flat surface so that he has to move around to pick up each piece. With canned food, feed a little at a time.
Hairball remedies are best fed apart from mealtime and not contained in the food because the roughage can interfere with the absorption of nutrients. Look at Metamucil for people -- it says to take it between meals. This is why Dr. Jane Bicks, HealthyPetNet's formulator, makes a special hairball treat and does not include a hairball remedy in the food.
On the http://www.NutritionForCritters.com web site, be sure to listen to Dr. Jane's audio and to view the Truth About Pet Foods video.
If you have any questions, just ask Beth or me.
Best, Ann
