    We will never again buy this food. Our canine got very sick immediately, continued with diarrhea, vomiting and general weakness, very disappointing. I will not recommend it to anyone.

    I wish I could write a positive review, as I had high hopes and was even proud of myself for taking the plunge and splurging on more expensive food for my young Rottweiler. After a good long trial now of 3 weeks, nothing is getting better. Possibly worse. She has not had a firm poop in 3 weeks now. It’s DEFINITELY the Iams dog food. The irony is, I bought the “Healthy Digestion” bag, too. It’s sad to say, but it is a no for me. :(

      I am sad to learn by reading all the many bad reviews, I fed my dogs IAMS in the can since they were puppies. I too notice blood in my dog's stool and hacking noises he made. I never thought it would be from the Iams wet food in a can! Also, a can of Iams doubled in price. So I will stop feeding Iams to my dogs. I may as well buy fresh meat and vegetables for my dogs to make their food.

      As a person who's been utilizing this food product for many years I'm noticing the quality is becoming more and more inferior. I'm also reading the reviews of employees that have worked there as well as people that have had detrimental things happen to their animals after eating Iams dog food. I recently sent them photographs of this gelatin top slime that's inside my dog food two different types of brands that is becoming more and more evident each can that I open. They responded with a slew of questions asking me where did I buy the food like I stole it or something, how was I storing it, etc. Etc. Tons of questions before answering me a simple question of what this substance was?? They were acting as if I was demanding a refund.

      I refuse to answer the questions as I wanted to know what is in their product simple as that. I highly recommend that you read the reviews of this product before you utilize it with any of your pet family members, as well as provide feedback to this company in the form of consumer affairs or google so that their upper management will respond since their reps could care less. Once we start taking money out of their pocket maybe someone will listen. This food has gone up almost 50 to 60% in the last few years and has become more and more inferior as mentioned above.

      I highly recommend that you do not utilize this food product and make sure that you utilize the phone number on the back of your product to make your complaint. Then put it in writing. Until we stop being lazy and just move on with a different food product they will not change their product and if it will save one animal or even one person from buying this product then my job is done!

      My dog can only handle IAMS dog food. I do a rotation between IAMS Minichunks Whole Grain and Chicken recipe, Beef and Rice, and Lamb and Rice hydrated with water and a few supplements and her tummy skin and coat so Amazing! I will forever feed my dogs IAMS. It’s affordable even the 30, 40, and 44 pound bags, money is tight right now for me and I can afford this and my dog thrives on it. She’s been doing amazing on it for 5 years! I’ve tried other foods and she just can’t handle it. I LOVE IAMS and definitely recommend it!

      Be watchful for mold. After moving some of the unwieldy 50lb bag into a sealed 5g bucket, all was fine until I got to the bottom of the bucket and noticed the food was wet and moldy. Asked IAMs. Not helpful.

      The bag is getting smaller and smaller for the price. Soon this 11lb bag will quickly become a quart size portion of food if you keep on. I really think this is the best dog food for my dogs and it has no horrible odor like most other brands. Even Purina One began to reek. But, I will be forced to do something else due to price if this continues. Thank you.

      We will never again buy this food. Our canine got very sick immediately, continued with diarrhea, vomiting and general weakness, ended up with emergency vet visit. It is a shame and shamefully pricey.

      I have been feeding my labrador Iams for large breed for 4 years. I usually buy the large bag at Costco. I store it in a tight sealed container that I clean with every new bag. I have noticed (6 to 8 months) with the last big bag and now this big bag that halfway through my labrador doesn't want to eat it. I have chopped up plain broiled chicken breast and mix it in to entice her (it is a small amount). Usually this does the trick. This time, she refuses to eat it. She smells the food and walks away. So again I put some chicken in it. Nope! She refuses to eat it. I offered her a plain snack bone and put it on top of the food and she refused to eat the snack bone. I put another snack bone to the side of her bowl away from her food and she ate it. I then took the snack bone off her food and put it to the side and she ate it.

      I have also noticed blood in her stool a few times, she is licking her paws and she is panting all the time. So I am going to watch and see if she gets better when I feed her some plain rice and broiled chicken breast. I will also take her in to the vet to see if anything else is going on. I put this review out there just in case other dog owners are having the same issue. These reviews help keep our animals safe and healthy.
