Do you buy Iams?

Sure let me find it and I'll post it.

I was mistaken with the fillers, it was the fish, it was a while back and I didn't remember correctly.


Ahh okay I found it, this page will explain the changes, it appers they did finally get a guarnatee from the company about the fish meal, which replaced the turkey meal they used to use. It was being preserved with ethoxyquin, which is a carcinogenic agent. It appears though that now they have guaranteed not to use it, so I think it's okay to use again.

Wait - so Chicken Soup is good, or not? I thought it was a premium food, and that's what I have been feeding Roscoe and the cats. Is it not a good brand anymore?

It looks like they worked out the problems, seems to be a good food still.

Ok, whew, thank you - I really don't want to switch them again, and they all seem to like Chicken Soup

Thank you! I was feeding Nutro until I found out that they changed ingredients, so I switched to Chicken Soup - didn't want to have to change again!

Actualy all food that's been afco aprooved has been tested on dogs but that's just a food trial and doesn't mean much except the animal ate it for a few months and most of them didn't die.

And as for carnivores in reality they tear into the belly and tear out the stomach and leave it then eat the other organs first. They really don't want that. It's only little carnivores like cats or foxes that eat the whole thing because they'll eat the whole mouse or whatever in just a bite or two.

Yes it has been in the past but they later changed the ingredients, removed turkey meal and replaced it with fish meal that was perserved with a known carcinogen, ethoxyquin. There was some issue with this and they have now come back and changed suppliers to provide guaranteed fish meal free of this preservative, thus making it safe to use once again.

Not sure if what they say about Iams is true, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than just feeding the dogs the food. True or not, the descriptions are disgusting.

Of course. It's not whether the accusations are true or not, it's the seriousness of the allegations. To hell with guilt or innocence.
