Do you buy Iams?

[Alysser]

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.

I cannot have said it better!

I am not an IAMS advocate, but I have had lots of success with it, on occasion, especially when dieting my two Golden Retrievers. They no longer eat the "blue bag" of IAMS, but they did well on it. Our puppy, Mack, was eating the Iams puppy food when we got him, in May, and he continues to eat that food, with gusto! He is happy and healthy, and I will eventually change him over to what the Golden Girls are eating, but right now, at almost 9 months old, he is still on the IAMS Puppy food and he is doing just fine!

There are better foods than Iams. There are worse foods than Iams.

There are probably companies that do worse things to animals than Iams, and companies that treat animals better than Iams.

I'm not sure, however, if there is a much more radical, warped group than PETA.

Feed whatever works best for YOUR dog.

Do a lot of independent research of your own before you buy ANY group's rhetoric hook, line and sinker ... especially if that group happens to be PETA.

I'd like to add (from experience) if you have a dog (probably same with cats, but I don't know ) that has a hard time keeping on wieght I would suggest changing to somthing natural, I had Jenny on Iams and it seemed the more of it you fed her, the more wieght she lost.

*note: Do not use this method to try and loose weight, I've tried it, IAMS is horrible tasting, it's dry really crunchy and very salty. VERY bland. (yes, I taste test Jenny's food. )

I used to eat cat food when I was little, it tasted just like that.

I just watched a comercial for Iam and it said they put no fillers in their foods.. ????

[junescrater716]

Most dog foods have fillers. They just say that so you will buy the product. If you read the dog bible it tells you EVERYTHING about dog food including what they put in it.

*lol* you should market this as the next big human weight-loss fad - "All Dog Food, All The Time! Watch the Pounds Melt Off!" -- you could make millions on the book tour alone

And yep, i used to hide under the porch when I was really little and share milk-bones with my dog ... mmmm... crunchy!

(originaly seen in email as the purina diet)

Woman in line behind me askes if I'm buying that big bag of food for a dog?

told her that no, I'm starting The Iams Diet. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Iams nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again again although I probably shouldn't -- I had ended up in the hospital last time, but I lost 50 pounds before I awakened in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with the story, particularly a big tall guy who was behind the woman.

Horrified, she asked why I ended up in the hospital -- had the Purina made me sick? I told her no; I'd been sitting in the middle of the street licking my self and a car hit me.

lol. It's true, though. The more I fed her, the lighter she became.

Just an FYI, Nutro has added soybean oil to the food and is causing allergic reactions in some dogs. Mike has converted 22 dogs off of Nutro (even though we still have some in the store) because they had drainage from their ears. Everyone has come back and thanked him for the change because their dogs are healthy again. They added stuff so that they can sell it at Wal-mart now.
