I believed that Iams was a great product and my vet always recommended it. Part of that was because it was a great company based in the Dayton Ohio area. About 2 years ago our dog began chewing his feet constantly. Recently he chewed until they bled. After taking him to the vet again he has been diagnosed with allergies to his food. The same food he has been on for four years and the same food that I fed my other dogs for 14 years. I believe that when P&G bought the Iams company they kept the formula only until they felt they needed to make a bigger buck. I will never purchase Iams products again after watching a good product changed for the almighty dollar. I have fed my dogs and cat Iams for the past 17 years.

Now he is 7 years-old, and its been a week that he doesn't want to eat his iams dry food. When I give him canfood or rice with chicken he eats. When i take him to the Veterinarian she says that he is find, but he is constently vomiting, and scratching himself. so no more iams.

In early November I purchased a new bag and I noticed he's constantly scratching at himself and scratching out hunks of fur. Brought him to the groomer for a bath thiniking he'd gotten into something. Nope, still scratching. I took him off Iams and he stopped scratching. Gave him one scoop of Iams to test if that was the cause and he was scratching again soon after. Don't know what Iams changed in their formula, but we're onto Blue Buffalo and no more constant scratching. I’ve been feeding my yellow lab Iams dry food (green bag) for the last few years.

It's very affordable (I only paid $21+ for a 40 lb. bag of the Healthy Weight formula). I have 3 dogs and they all like it and are doing well on it. I am someone who feeds canned or other cooked foods (meats, veggies, etc.) along with dry food, so I am glad that I get it at such a great price. I also use this food to stay away from ingredients like corn and wheat which trigger different allergic reactions in my dogs---itching, redness, anal gland problems, etc. Whatever you decide to use, it's probably best you try to avoid the useless fillers too. The first dog I ever owned did fine on any food, but that's definitely not the case w/the dogs I have now. Good luck. :) Harold, I’m with Kim–I like the Kirkland dog food if you have a Costco near you. It’s very affordable (I only paid $21+ for a 40 lb. bag of the Healthy Weight formula).

So any quality food should be fine; try Orijen or Horizon Legacy for higher protein and meat content. A Beagle/Chi mix should be small, so you don’t have to worry about calcium/phosphorous levels.

Im bringing a new pup home in a few days and I'm totally confused as what to feed him. What I thought were good brands are now all supposedly bad. Then I read being called names (Idiots,morons, ding-a-lings,etc) and made fun of by Jess and I think its totally uncalled for considering we are all wanting the best for our pets and are sharing and networking with each other to reach that cause. If someone dosent agree with what someone else is feeding their dogs its not that persons duty to ridicule them for it. There is no ONE dog food that is the end all as there are many breeds of dogs and each are unique in their own right. I would just like to find a high quality food that I could buy OTS if I had to. Can anyone, someone give a suggestion for a beagle/chi mix? Tks I agree Stacey!

He is a skinny dog as it is, and Iams just made it worse! Oh, and his weight is coming back up to normal as well. He is a skinny dog as it is, and Iams just made it worse!
