Do you buy Iams?

[#1Wolflover]

I'm soooooooo sick of seeing Iams chamercials!!!! The company is a bunch of hipocrates! If you haven't heard by now then I'll explain. The Iams company is cutting of the muscle of poor animals, not even under anisthetics (sorry I'm not sure how to spell it, so if your not sure what I spelled its when you put an animal to sleep but you don't kill them; like for surgery)then they stitch them up with the muscle still gone and throw them back into there cages!!!!!!!!!!!! If you buy Iams please stop ! Spread the word to I'm sure no pet owner will buy Iams once they here this! (This is only one thing Iams does, it gets worse!) Maybe we can put an end to this!

Nope and I will never buy Iams for my pets!

No, Iams is too much of a low quality food. I have heard about the whole animal cruelty for Iams and I am not sure if I completly belive it.

Its ture, I'm glad you don't buy it though. I'm not going to force you to believe me, but its true!

Don't buy it and never will but some of my clients use it - try and suggest an alternative but it is personal choice!
I use Royal Canin - prescription stuff for Bubs and her cystitis and a mixture of other Royal Canin varieties and Go Cat (cheaper but my girls love it!)

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I'd never, ever feed Iams. Even if it wasn't for the "so-called" cruelty they do to animals, I wouldn't feed it. My dogs certainly wouldn't do well on a diet mostly made of by products and corn.

I only really like Natura Pet's products (California Natural, and Innova atleast) and as long as I feed kibble, that's what Tango and my next pup will be eating.

I feed Iams and my cats did fine on it.I buy nutro now.I think Iams is ok.I used to believe PETA don't anymore.I think they are more of a cult group then animal rights group.

[animal_rescue]

I think we used to feed IAMS but that was when I was like 9 or something. I wouldn't feed it to my dogs now because it's such a low quality food. I want them to be healthy! Roxie and Emmy(foster) are currently on Burns Fish something lol I'll have to look at it and I'm switching Marty, Alex, and Maggie to Solid Gold Wolf King. So I know both are awesome quality dog food.

Also I do not believe all the animal cruelty stuff because I think PETA is mostly BS and started it.

To people who won't use products on their pets from companies who test on animals, ask yourself these questions....

1) do you vaccinate your pets?
2) ever had surgery done on your pets requiring anethestic (ie; spay/neuter)?
3) use any type of prescription medications on your pet (ie; antibiotics, siezure meds, eye/ear drops, sedatives, etc)?
4) ever had any type of bloodwork done on your pet?
5) ever even visited a licensed vet for any kind of treatment?

All of these things could only have been produced/perfected through animal testing.

I don't advocate animal testing for human products (ie; cosmetics etc) however for certain animal products/procedures, I don't see how they could possibly assure the safety of the product, or the effectiveness of it, without testing it on the species for which it was designed. JMHO

And for the record I used to feed Iams until I started working where I could get a discount on the Hills Science Diet which is what I'm feeding now, however I never had a problem with Iams itself and still don't.

As for P.E.T.A. ...... Copied from their own website.....

“If using animals is unethical, why does the Bible say that we have dominion over animals?”

Dominion is not the same as tyranny. The Queen of England has “dominion” over her subjects, but that doesn’t mean that she can eat them, wear them, or experiment on them. If we have dominion over animals, surely it is to protect them, not to use them for our own ends. if they had stopped here it wouldn't have been so ridiculous! There is nothing in the Bible that would justify our modern-day practices, which desecrate the environment, destroy entire species of wildlife, and inflict torment and death on billions of animals every year. The Bible imparts a reverence for life, and a loving God could not help but be appalled by the way that animals are treated today.

Guess P.E.T.A. never read the OLD testament of the bible??
