Well, first, there was the Iams Cruelty story, which happened before I got my dog. Thats why i never bought Iams when I did get my dog.
Now I am very thankful I didnt ever feed it to him, because of the recent founding of rat poison in the food.
I think Iams should loose their license to own a pet food company. If that doesnt happen, they will go bankrupt. Either way, they will be shut down.
What do you think?

I agree with you. I seen the video long ago on how IAMS treats animals and I never have and never will buy their products!!! They should have been put out of business long ago, but unknowledgable people patronize them!!!! I hope will ever is responsible for all of these animals sickness and death has to pay a multimillion law suit. No amount of $$$ will bring these dead animals back!!!!! SO SAD!!!!!!!!!!

The IAMS company is not responsible for the poison in the foods. The company called menu foods handles 80% of the dog and cat foods made in America. They got wheat from Asia that was tainted with rat poison and used it in the dog foods in America. They were unaware of the problem. If you want further information on the subject check out the website below, or contact your veterinarian.

Its not just Iams food...all food that was manufactured in the same place as Iams. There are what like...60 different brands that contain rat poison? I would put the blame on the plant...not the individual food company.

It was not just iams it was the supplier and i believe everyone that lost a pet or has vet bills from this should be entitled to a class action law suit as long as they have vet records to prove their loss i love my dogs there part of my family so i believe there should be real serious pay offs i did not lose a pet to this but those who did should be paid for their loss

It wasn't "Iams" the company, it was the supplier (Menu brands?) who's list of clients included 50 other names. None of them will be shut down or go bankrupt.
It's very sad, and I have a sack of food ready to return to the store that I'd purchased. I lost a dear pet 6 years ago to something similar - was fine one day, dead the next. Food never occurred to me, as I'm sure happens more often than we'd like to think.
Only way of being absolutely sure is to cook the food yourself for your pet.

Those who put their names on these foods bear a large portion of the responsibility for what went into the cans. All these so-called premium foods now turn out to be EXACTLY the same product as the cheapest store brand crap products.
That hurts. I had been a loyal customer of Nutro for about 10 years, with two cats. No more.
Now I only use good food for my beloved animals.

If others follow suit, those who betrayed our trust will end up going out of business.

IAMs isn't responsible, responsibility lies with the manufacturer and the supplier.
