I know about Iams. I also know about the pet food companies that put by-products in their foods, as well as carcinogens (ingredients that can cause cancer), like Red #40, Ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT, and all the while advertising how wonderful and healthy their product is for your pet. Iams ingredients are almost as terrible, and their abuse of animals is horrific.
Abuse comes in many forms, and the pet companies that buy rendered animals for pet food ingredients are also abusing the health of our beloved pets. Rendered animals can be any road kill, euthanized animals from shelters, vets, etc. They can be diseased and certainly not anything you would imagine someone rendering to use for pet food ingredients. If you saw a video of the dead animals right before being put into a rendering machine, maggots, hair, bones, all of this goes right in, you would be horrified at the amount of filth that goes into pet foods.
I don't feed my pets Iams, nor any pet food that practices these methods for obtaining and making pet food. It's all a terrible injustice to the animals and the people that love them.
The best way to avoid purchasing from pet food companies that don't care is to educate ourselves on what is really in our pets food. Learn how to read the ingredients and what they really mean. Know that there is no law for pet food, just guidelines. We, their owners, are there only protection.

I don't feed IAMS because I don't think it is a good food.
The whole PeTA campaign against them is from years ago, the video was PROVEN to be false and doctored. The animal 'rights' groups agenda is to END ALL ANIMAL OWNERSHIP! They will lie and falsify documents to further their animal hating agenda, and if a company should disagree, they will try to ruin them (just like IAMS).
You'd think they would be embarrassed, but they have no shame.

Oh I get it you are against Iams!!!! Yeah! And Science Diet and Eukanuba. But please believe that someone could sqeek about any dog food all day long for one reason or another. Go holistic, feed raw or home cooked so you know what your dog is getting if it means that much to you!
