Do you buy Iams?

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.

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

[Jadapit]

Never have, never will. I used to feed Nutro but I heard it went to heck in a hen basket also as borzoimom said.

Thank you for not buying! Even if I was skeptical about Iams cruelty I still wouldn't buy it. I've never liked Iams, just had a bad feeling about it!

When Iams was first brought to market it WAS a great brand of dog food. It was good quality with little fillers. Then someone else bought the company and now it's crap and full with fillers and other garbage. Not to mention all the abuse they do testing it on animals.

but even if I did I would usualy just buy whats on sale .

You wouldn't be able to keep switching their diet like that, they would become extremly sick.

Hills Science Diet

That's another brand that has lots of fillers and is a very cheap brand of dog food.

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 didn't choose it because its peta, it shows Iams being cruel to animals! Thats a link right there, thats proof!

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.
