Iams dog food gravy

[Unosmom]

It doesent look bad, but I would steer cleer of Iams, regardless of what they promise, I just dont trust them.

i didnt know about the merrick toppers. thanks! i might get them a few here and there!

if only i ate as good as my dogs!

No Problem. :)
They have a ton of different ones, my dogs used to go nuts over them. (i feed raw now, but maybe i'll treat them to a little Merrick on special occasions)
I liked them because they didn't stink up the whole kitchen, most of them smell like soup!
Annie's favorite is Turducken, Grissom loved Grammy's Pot Pie, and Champ is my little fish mongrel, and liked Campfire Trout Feast best.

They are a little pricey, but are good quality, and if you're just using them as a topper or mix in for some variety, they're not too expensive.

I, also, don't trust them no matter what their ingredient lists say.

In case anyone is wondering why.....

to each their own... but i am just not sure that i believe that hype.

but i really have no read much on it.
other than they test on animals.

probably not the popular opinion here.... but i guess that is okay. by testing the food on laboratory dogs, we know that it is safe and healthy for our dogs... i guess.
but Iams food is crap.....

either way, i dont know. just not sure 100% what the issue with Iams is.

there is stuff on youtube about iams, but peta has a hand in it. I do not believe anything peta says.

Oh I don't totally believe it either...there's always 2 sides to every story.

However, you have to admit that the conditions in which they keep those dogs is appalling. It is also my understanding that they were testing on those beagles to see how much low quality protein they could use in the food without it damaging the muscle tissue. Now, seeing what they actually put in the food, I don't find that too hard to believe. lol

Hallie got some of the Iams dog food gravy as a present so I let her try a little since the ingredients didn't look that bad. It smells pretty strong and Hallie wasn't too crazy about it either. I usually just mix in some goody for Hallie like some leftover meat or a bit of yogurt.

I don't get it if a company can afford to do testing to see how low protein a dog can handled then what the big deal with doing testing to make the dogfood better. Its not like soooo many don't invest to want to invest in a really good kibble food. I'm sure there are those who can't afford it but, I just think that is stupid to test for stuff like that and then not test for things that would be good for the animal instead. I guess when money is involved everything is all messed up.

i would better understand WHY they tested on animals if Iams was not CRAP. if it was some kind of super food..... but its not.

Yeah, but test it by FEEDING it to the subjects...not by DISSECTING the test subjects.

I would have a hard time thinking it was a good choice buying anything from Iams. Just why would you put Dried Beet Pulp in canned food for? I would bet thier is alot more of this in the food than you would like. Buy some good stuff! I buy Innova canned because of the dollar factor (1.79) and I feel good about this company. They have a few different tastes. For a big treat I get Evanders duck in a small can, here it costs 1.09. He just goes nuts for the duck.

hes talking abouit iams savory sauce. he just didnt say it correctly. its not gravy lol.

and i guess its ok in moderation. i doubt it will kill your pet. ive used it years ago when i had some free coupons my dog liked it also.
