Do you buy Iams?

[Lady's Human]

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.

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

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.

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 ....

[binka_nugget]

Nope! Not sure if I believe the cruelty thing with Iams, but I wouldn't buy their products either way. I don't like their ingredients, my dogs don't like the food, Kai's allergies flare up on Euk/Iams, it's overpriced, etc.

I did for a year, then learned of the "cruelty" stop(p )ed and changed to other low-quality brands. After reading a few PT food wars and starting a thread I decided that Nutro would be better.


(mouth drops open) the effect was instant and amazing! After one cup of food (Nutro) her teeth were already noticably whiter. She had less dandruf and shed less. Also I noticed you need to feed less Nutro than you do Iams, proving it's better.

After all that, After reading more PT discussions I found out IMO that PETA wasn't being completely honest. I *might* have changed her back then, had I not seen first hand what crappy quality food it is.

It does seem horrible and the pictures and videos might be real, but I still don't believe most of it. PETA has raised false alarms about many companies before.


Again, all just my opinion.

[GreyhoundGirl]

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

It did? Hmmm, well Jenny's doing fine on it, and has a sensitive stomac, so I'll just keep her on it.

[Husky15]

Never fed Iams, never will.

I dont know what do belive about the cruelty because the site is PETA and they go waaayyy overboard a LOT. but I would never ever feed or reccoment IAMs because the food itself is cruddy their new commercial is driving me up the wall with "everything they need and nothing they dont" meanwhile the food is packed with grains and corn both of which are filler and utterly usless to dogs! oh then there was a cat one too, something about a nice a healthy cat formula consisting of greens and grains...ummm...cats are Carnivores!

[Suki Wingy]

why yes, my parents do. Because it's the best at the grocery store. It's all corn and sugar though so I keep trying to switch my dog to Blue.

[junescrater716]

nearly every food company does that. dog food includes utters, muscle, tounge, liver everything a human wouldn't eat. think of it this way, when animal is slaughtered they're using the WHOLE animal. not just certain parts.

[junescrater716]

PETA people are sick, freaky, liars. I wouldn't believe them even if they did have "proof". They think they're helping animals when really they are hurting. PETA was sued once because of illegal euthanization or something like that.

[Alysser]

I don't feed IAM's because, IMO, it's a low quality food. I don't listen to P.E.T.A and I never will. They kill animals themselves, so they aren't animal rights activist. I am agianst fur coats and stuff like that, but P.E.T.A members threw paint on coats. The animals are dead already and unfortunately nothing can be done so what is the point? They are lunatics and I cannot believe people actually listen to half their crap.
