Since certain Iams products have been recalled, does anyone know if that includes Iams Tartar Treats also?

Answer 1

Hi! I work for the Iams and Eukanuba Pet Care Team. Our Iams and Eukanuba dry foods, biscuits, Eukanuba Veterinary Diets, 10-ounce Eukanuba Canned Dog, Iams Canned Entrees, and Savory Sauce are NOT part of the recall. A portion of our canned and foil pouch wet cat and dog foods that were manufactured between December 5, 2006 to March 14, 2007 are involved in our recall. Visit our web sites eukanuba.com or iams.com for a complete list of our products involved in our voluntary recall. If any further questions, please contact our Iams and Eukanuba Pet Care Team at 1-800-882-1591. Thank you, Danette

Answer 2

No. It doesn't include the Iams Tartar Treats.

Iams products are not part of the official recall. However, they have implemented a VOLUNTARY recall. The recall affects "cuts and gravy" types of canned and pouch foods for both dogs and cats. You can go to the Menu Foods Income Fund website for a complete list of the affected brands of foods.

Iams foods are considered to be a premium type of pet food and is good pet food.

I work for a holistic veterinarian and we would not tell any of our client that IAMS or Eukanuba were good brands of food. When people ask me why, first I tell them read the ingredients. First thing on the list (dry formula) is corn or wheat then something else then possibly a meat "By product". Do you know what a by product is? When you go to the bathroom, thats a by product. Ok maybe a little extreme. A by product are all the parts that ordinarlly get theown away in human meat companies. This includes head, feathers intestines, hooves etc. My question then is this what you really want to feed your pet? Most of us look at our pets as a part of our family so would you eat that stuff? When researching a pet food look at the ingredients. The first 3 or at least first 2 ingredients should be a meat, Chicken lamb or beef. Just the word of the meat. Also another is meat meal such as Lamb meal or chicken meal, this is actual meat with all the liquid removed and made into a powder. Of course real meat is best. Pet food companies have to list in order of what is most in their food so if corn is first on the list and a meat is 3rd then this food is made up of moslty grain. Dogs need protein too. Another thing to watch out for are chemical additives. Look for natural tocopherols or fats as preservatives. Stay away from BHA BHT nitrites and chemical additives other than natural vitamins. I have a list that I know to be human grade meats without chemical additives. Most of these brands can be found in most small non chain pet stores.

It is also best to feed your pets canned rather than dry. Another food which are good are Steve's Raw and Bravo. It is ok and the best way to feed you pet is home cooked. Although be advised that different things need to be supplement to a home cook diet for your pet such as fatty acids and bone meal and other things. Best to find a vet in your area that can give you a good fortefied recipe to a suitable diet that is well balanced and fully nutritional. I hope I have helped a few with questions. Bye

Answer 4

Only canned food has been recalled. To be honest, Iams is not a very good product to begin with regardless of any recalls.

Answer 5

No they're fine. I personally don't like Iams but after diarrhea issues in two cats and a lot of expense trying to get a diagnosis and going through lots of "try this and see" medications, a lot of people including vets put me onto Iam's hairball, I don't know why but it works and stops the diarrhea.

Answer 6

it is canned & pouched wet foodsthat are being recalled, the tarter treats or dry food has not been recalled.
