My dog will not eat IAMS food anymore, well he will if he gets hungry enough, I want to switch him to something else, any ideas? I don't feel like hes gaining weight eating IAMS either.

He is a basset hound. He will eat it if I add wet food to it, but I'm skeptical on the wet food. I tried the IAMS gravy and add a little to it, but he won't touch it. I just mixed the dry IAMS with a small can of ALPO and he scarfed it up. What good wet food is there that isn't filled with rat poisoning?

Wellness, Royal Canin, Nutro, Purina One, Prarie,
You should add what kind of dog it is, so that people with the same breed can tell you what they feed there dog.
Praire makes a really good wet food.

I never could get a critter to eat Iams in the first place.
Have you looked at some of the Purina formulas?
Here is another thing: Sometimes my grandmother would make gravy without any salt or special spices on it, and put it on her dog's food. And the dog would scarf it right on up.
Good luck!

That's probably a good thing. Get him some good quality dog food. Read the label, the first ingredient should be meat, no corn, no by-products.

Dear Pet Owner.
As you have probably heard – there is a major pet food recall taking place. Many leading pet foods have been affected and several pets have died as featured in this recent news article http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17650075/from/ET/
This is exactly why you are receiving this email. We want to alert you, DON'T LET YOUR PET BE NEXT!
In fact, you would do well to follow these simple steps to ensure you are not another accident waiting to happen.
Find your pets food and treats and see if wheat, corn, or by-products are listed in the ingredients.
If so, discard the products immediately.
Visit http://www.healthypetfoodbiz.com and purchase the Life's Abundance pet foods and treats.
This is not a shameless plug to capitalize on a recent tragedy, I would submit that it is quite the opposite. There are many commercial pet foods that need to be ashamed for their actions.
Today, Americans are constantly being mislead by clever marketing tactics regarding which food is best for their pet. For example, have you ever heard of the following pet foods that are now being recalled for harming pets?
Cat foods currently being recalled:
Americas Choice; Preferred Pets; Authority; Best Choice; Companion; Compliments; Demoulas Market Basket; Fine Feline Cat, Shep Dog; Food Lion; Foodtown; Giant Companion; Good n Meaty; Hannaford; Hill Country Fare; Hy-Vee; Key Food; Laura Lynn; Li'l Red; Loving Meals; Main Choice; Nutriplan; Nutro Max Gourmet Classics; Nutro Natural Choice; Paws; Presidents Choice; Price Chopper; Priority; Save-A-Lot; Schnucks; Sophistacat; Special Kitty; Springfield Pride; Sprout; Total Pet; My True Friend; Wegmans; Western Family; White Rose; and Winn Dixie.
Dog foods currently being recalled:
America's Choice; Preferred Pets; Authority; Award; Best Choice; Big Bet; Big Red; Bloom; Bruiser; Cadillac; Companion; Demoulas Market Basket; Fine Feline Cat; Shep Dog; Food Lion; Giant Companion; Great Choice; Hannaford; Hill Country Fare; Hy-Vee; Key Food; Laura Lynn; Loving Meals; Main Choice; Mixables; Nutriplan; Nutro Max; Nutro Natural Choice; Nutro; Ol'Roy; Paws; Pet Essentials; Pet Pride; President's Choice; Price Chopper; Priority; Publix; Roche Bros; Save-A-Lot; Schnucks; Springsfield Pride; Sprout; Stater Bros; Total Pet; My True Friend; Western Family; White Rose; Winn Dixie and Your Pet.
It's time to stop trusting the well being of your pet to just anyone who makes a pet food. If you are feeding commercially prepared pet foods, you need to listen closely.
Did you know that the FDA does not regulate the pet food industry?
Did you also know that most commercial pet foods are made from less than human quality ingredients.
Did you know that most pet foods bought in the store have been sitting around for as long as 18 months before you buy it?
Did you know that dogs and cats have the genetic potential to live 20 - 25 years but we are robbing those years from their lives with cheap pet foods.
Here are just a few of the procedures that we follow to provide your pet with a safe and nutritious product.
All the products are manufactured in a USDA facility.
All of our ingredients are individually inspected for human quality and carry the APHIS certification (a European standard for human quality ingredients)
Every vendor must supply an 'assurance statement' with each shipment. This statement must provide nutritional quality of ingredient provided AND must state it is free from any mold, bacteria, and so forth.
Dr. Jane has the ingredients tested AGAIN before manufacturing to make sure the quality is as stated AND it meets her standards
The product is tested 3 times during the manufacturing process - to again assure everything is 'as it should be'.
The product is tested again after manufacturing and again when it arrives at the warehouse.
One bag of food is kept at the warehouse - from each batch - to test in case a Customer has a problem or concern with the product. Each 'one bag' from each batch is kept for 1 full year.
The products are shipped directly from HealthyPetNet's warehouse to the Customer - no middleman warehousing (concerns of proper storage and pest control).
Can you say all of that about your current brand of pet food? Probably not. As I stated earlier, this is not a shameless attempt to capitalize on a tragedy, it is vital information that can save pets lives.
Don't let your pet be another statistic. Please give our products a try today. Don't wait! For your protection, we are not sold in stores, you must purchase online for fresh and safe home delivery http://www.HealthyPetFoodBiz.com
Sincerely,
David Tantanella
