Iams Dog Food

Since weening our boy off Purim’s puppy food and transitioning to Iams large breed we have noticed numerous alarming and worrisome changes and after 2 vet visits and now seeing these reviews, we are swapping his dog food!!! We originally thought he wasn’t feeling well or was sad and not himself because 2 family members were traveling and he was “missing” them. (Myself and my daughter) Upon our return, however he seemed to still not feel well.

I have fed my Dobermans Iams healthy weight dry dog food for 2 1/2 years. One of my Dobermans started puking randomly. He also was reluctantly eating the kibble for about a month. I also mixed 1/2 can of royal canin digestive care. About 3 weeks ago his brother suddenly got extreme diarrhea at 1:00 in the morning. Took him to the vet and they found absolutely nothing wrong with him. Three days later they both had severe diarrhea. Even though they were on diarrhea meds from the vet.

My dogs love Iams. We feed them dry kibble mixed with canned. I was feeding Blue Buffalo and it was horrible. My GSD had a horrible smell and a greasy coat. We switched to Iams and it's all went away. Most recent vet visit, her exact comment was "They're perfect, what are you feeding them".

Bought a green bag of small chunk chicken kibble for my pack, who usually have good appetites, and immediately started having problems. They became listless, vomited, and ate reluctantly. So I started researching and discovered discussions going all the way back to 2011 from many, many dog owners who talked about their canines getting very sick and dying. Apparently the food has a type of mold that produces a toxin similar to rat poison that destroys the liver and kidneys, and rancid fats that trigger pancreatitis and severe GI distress. Since this has been going on for at least a decade, it's pretty obvious Iams doesn't give a damn. I switched to another brand immediately and it's back to happy dogs, so hopefully whatever damage was caused will heal.

I didn’t know that Iams has been causing all sorts of health issues until it happened to my dog 2 days ago. I got a few bags of Iams dog food from a friend whose pup passed away. My 4-year-old Lab mix started throwing up on 4/6/22 and has been throwing up since. Not to mention she has had bloody diarrhea. I had to take her to the vet ER and they couldn’t find anything wrong other than irritation in her colon. They did X-rays and blood work.

I raised Toy Poodles, for 18- 20 years, on Iams dry puppy food, and I still feed it to my Border Collie and tiny Pomeranian!!! I have NEVER had ANY PUPS, WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS. THEY HAVE THICK, RICH SHINY COATS, and the only Vet bills I have ever had, were shots, & worming!!!

I switched my dogs from Beneful dog food to Iams. As of now we have been doing good on it. They seem to enjoy it. So we will be sticking with this dog food for a while. We also used Redford dog food. It was great. Only problem was that they only sold it at one pet store. That was very inconvenient.

I like Iams Proactive Health Pate with chicken and whole grain rice because our picky dog likes it. He generally will eat a whole can at a time. That is all I have to say now. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Bought the mini chunks for my small dog. Mixed it in slowly with her old food, and within a week she had diarrhea, going out in the yard every hour and a half to two hours to have a loose runny bowel movement, and has vomited once, yellow bile. I will now be feeding her chicken and rice if she will eat. Hope this doesn't cause a vet visit, and more important, hope there isn't anything wrong with her now. I will never purchase this food again.

Like many other people here my dog experienced the same out of control diarrhea and lethargy. This product was recommended by the local vet, as they said that blue buffalo, which I had been feeding him was not very good. Well I tell you one thing he never had projectile diarrhea from blue buffalo. This crap is going in the trash, and I’m ** pissed that this is even marketed for dogs.
