Dixieland Dancer, don't want to start a fight but I don't think Iams is a bad dog food, just because of the ingridients. It's like us, eating Mcdonald's when they use some artificial chicken or something on the nuggets. But hey! who cares? As long as we like it. You should read the label. This is what eukanuba for small breeds say: The eukanuba Vital health system provides advanced nutritional support with special ingridients in each formula to keep you dog's vital system in optimal conditions. Each eukanuba formula is developed with nutrients important for a dog's specific life stage and/or size.
It also has real chicken protein which help to develop and maintain strong muscles and healthy coat. I don't mind animal testing in this product 'cause they test it to make sure that our pups and dogs have a balanced nutrition for growth, gestation and lactation.
Anyways. In Chile, we don't have much dog food brands and this was recommended by Leika's vet and the pet shop were we bought her. This is one of the best brands apart from Pedigree and Purina. And I haven't had any problems with it. And anyways In here I haven't seen any brands that offer a special nutrition for small breeds. All I know is that pedigree has some but for older dogs. As long as my dog eats it and has strong poops I don't mind.
