Who feeds their dogs IAMS??

Question

Who feeds their dogs IAMS??I heard that it kills dogs and pets and i also heard there's a site called iamscruelty.com! Is it true what they say?

Answer 1

I can only offer you the advice to read up on IAMS products. Their entire line of pet foods (Eukanuba included) are extremely overpriced for the quality of food you receive.
You must remember that IAMS is owned by Proctor & Gamble, who use animal-testing on their household chemical and beauty products. I cannot, in good conscience, buy a pet food from a company who mistreats animals for product testing.
Just my 2 cents !

Answer 2

You heard wrong. My husband works for the company that actually makes the dog food that IAMS sells (the same dog food that other brands use, by the way). I've seen the plant, and it is not as pictured on the cruelty site.

Besides, IAMS has been around for a very long time. Don't you think that if the consumption of this food caused widespread doggie death, they'd have gone out of business by now?

Answer 3

I worked at a company that took in dogs and cats who had been used for the IAMS testing, and the animals were not quite right in the head. I don't know if this was from being locked in a cage, or if Iams actually did stuff to their dogs. I do know that it is not a high quality food, and I feed my dogs much better stuff.

Answer 4

IAMS/Eukanuba doesn't kill pets, but it is a low quality food. It is loaded with cheap fillers & by products..all things a dog doesn't need and doesn't process well. It lacks substantial meat protein. It takes up to 3 times more of a grain laden food for a dog to get proper nutrition then it does a good quality meat based food.

Answer 5

Iams doesn't kill pets, but it doesn't offer the proper nutrition that a healthy dog food should.

Answer 6

i used to feed my puppy IAMS but i don't anymore cuz this one gal posted an IAMS cruelty thing. but IAMS doesn't exactly kill animals... :)

i don't know if what PETA says is true, cuz they do exaggerate a lot... but what i say is, never take chances on things you can't be sure of.

Answer 7

No, IAMS went through some negative PR awhile back because one person, who was going through a nasty divorce at the time, neglected some of the animals. It's an isolated incident that has dogged them ever since.

That being said, ALL commercially available pet food is questionable. Your dog will do fine on vegetables and cooked meat.

Answer 8

don't know. i have to pomeranians and feed them mostly lams, but people have been talking about dog food having sub-standard inspections and requirements put into place yrs ago. that can't be good. I've been thinking about looking into making their dog food myself from left overs or meats and cereals from the store. thanks for asking the question, i don't think people give this enough thought.

Answer 9

i dont use IAMS product because of negative effect on my dogs skin/coat. the website is not true though

Answer 10

Come on, don't be ignorant. IAMS Food doesn't kill dogs. That'd be extremely obvious and duh, it wouldn't sell food. Give me a break! You can't believe everything you hear!

BTW, my dog eats Iams and has been on it ever since he was a puppy. The vet just went on and on and on about how he was SO HEALTHY at his last check-up. Good weight, good muscle tone, no signs of arthritis, and he is SEVEN.
