I bought Iam's for 50 lb Dogs by mistake.Can my 13 lb poodle eat it?

Question

It's the larger sack and I don't know if it will hurt my little dog or not.. It's the Diet Control..
please help..I would give it to some one who has a bigger dog but don't know of anyone.

Answer 1

It will be just fine for your little dog.. No major differences, other than the size of the pieces, and extra bone/joint health additives..they may even be good for your little guy..
If you have a food porcessor, you can give a pulse or two to break up the peices, to make it easier to eat..if he eats it fine, then no problem.

Answer 2

It should be fine. Just compare the labels if you are really concerned. Usually the food for the bigger dogs is in bigger pieces. It should be fine. If you ahve some old food left I would recommend mixing the two at first so as not to change the food flat out which may cause a tummy ache (for your dog).

Answer 3

It shouldn't hurt your dog at all. The pieces of the dog food may be bigger though, making it harder for you 13 lb poodle to eat them.

If the dog shows no difficulty in actually eating the food, then there should be no problem at all.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Answer 4

It would not value to call the vet and ask if there is something which you're able to do at homestead and what to look out for..... particular, raisins are on the checklist of do no longer eat for canines alongside with grapes, nuts, onions and a super form of alternative issues-in case you do not have a itemizing seem on line that's usually published there! good luck!

Answer 5

you would be better of feeding your dog sawdust than Iams products. analysis of Iams weight control

The primary ingredient in this food is a low quality grain (it should be meat!). Corn is a problematic grain that is difficult for dogs to digest and thought to be the cause of a great many allergy and yeast infection problems. We prefer not to see this used in dog food.
The second ingredient is a named meat product but since this is chicken inclusive of its water content (about 80%) and this ingredient will weigh only about 20% of its wet weight once water is removed (as it must be to make kibble) it is likely that this ingredient would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list. Fish meal, at 6th on the ingredient list, is a second named meat product in the food, but this is far too low down to make up an appreciable portion of the food. We note that the manufacturer does not claim to use ethoxyquin-free sources (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).

Answer 6

I'd take the whole bag back.

IAMS carried out horrific experiments to dogs and cats whilst 'testing' their products. They gave 100 lab cats kidney failure, fed them IAMS, looked at the results, then killed the cats......

I promise I am no tree top protester, but as an owner of 4 cats and 2 dogs, just couldn't believe my eyes and ears when I heard about this.
Go look for yourselves.

Answer 7

Take it back with your reciept. Your poodle probably can eat it, if it likes it and your poodle isn't on some type of restriction, but probably will go stale in the mean time before he can eat it all. Depends on your dogs appetite.

Answer 8

Its basically the same dog food, just larger size chunks. Try putting it in your blender for a quick whirl, that should break it down to a better size for your smaller dog.

Answer 9

If your dog can chew it, it'll be fine. The pieces are probably bigger. That's the only difference. It just might be hard for your dog to chew the larger pieces.

If you have not opened it, you can exchange it at the store.

Answer 10

It can mold if left out. I would put it in freezer bags and put it in freezer. Take them out one ata time when you need them. Or take it back to store and exchange for the correct size.
