Do you buy Iams?

[#1Wolflover]

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!)

did you tell them what Iams does? Maybe I can find a site we can use to prove the story! Thanks for not buying! Spread the word!

Not only no but ... no way in the world!!! Not a snowballs chance in... ( I think I made my point..)

Peta started this thing, and so that is why I am not sure about it.

Iams is a expensive grocery store food. When Proctor and Gamble bought them out, they dumbed down the formula so they could sell it in the grocery stores and Wal-mart.

We feed Pinnacle Duck and Potato and Merrick either Wilderness Blend or Turducken or Canidae Platinum.

Mugsy is right as far as when they changed companies- They changed their formula when they went to the grocery store chain in availbility. It use to be a great food, but also originally a granular type, without preservatives, and a good meat source.. It went to heck in a hen basket starting in 1986... That is all I am saying. And I agree- its been discussed many times.

Good I'm glad you don't use Iams!

I don't want this to turn into a debate! If you don't want to participate than don't post! All I'm saying is that Iams is still here and there cruelty wont go forgotten!

PETA's vitriol should NEVER, EVER be confused with truth.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

No! I used to buy it 2 times, when they gave free cat-toys (tent and foodboxes). But since I've learned about what they do, I refuse that too

This should be in the dog house given past history of these discussions.

Do a search for Iams threads on the board, and you will find it over and over again.

I've yet to see convincing proof of the abuses. PETA claims against many companies have been overblown, and their methods are questionable at best.

As far as the OP in this thread, please don't post accusations like that without proof, or at least a link backing up your statement.

I think people should carefully consider their sources of information. Especially for such a case like this.

Mickey came to us on Iams and he was doing fine on it .. we just chose to feed what we fed our last dog.

I didn't say that Iams was a bad recipe so of course your dog was fine, its what they did for that recipe!

[My Peanuts]

There are some Iams products that I'd like to buy, like that dog gravy for their food, but I refuse. I will never buy Iams products. They test on animals, namely dogs, I've been told by a few sources, and their products are full of corn and fillers.

[Argranade]

Wtf they have like the best freaking animal food comercials, there so cute lol.

I don't know if any of this stuff is true or not, I don't buy there food mostly because I don't own a cat or dog lol but even if I did I would usualy just buy whats on sale ... I'll avoid there product tho if I magicaly happen to get a puppy or cat ....
