    I will never give my Boxers Iams again. Iams dog food gave them runny stool which they've never had before.

    Our Springer Spaniel, was eating Alpha Puppy when we brought him home. We needed to change to something more available in the supermarket / shop, so changed to Iams, thinking that premium puppy food (with a premium price) must be the best. After around a week or so we noticed there seemed to be a negative change in his coat, digestion and behaviour. After much research we are now changing to Burns.

    The first ingredient in Iams Dog Food is Chicken (with water). Once the water is taken out during the manufacturing process, it falls down on the list. This means the primary source of protein in this feed is Corn Meal.I question this companies means of preservation. They seem very misleading (what is 'mixed' Tocopherois). There are too many other quality brands out there for the same money to be messing around with this stuff in my opinion.

    My 13 yr. old lab/shepherd mix has always been fed Iam's Lamb and Rice dry food. Since last year, he got skin infections and has lost half the hair on his body. We thought it was just old age allergies (which he never had before), but the last trip to the vet turned on the light bulb. She asked if we had changed our dog food. We didn't, but had noticed that the food looked different than it used to. Then we found out through other concerned bloggers that Iam's changed ownership and the formula. ...

    I'm surprised that people have had bad experiences with Iams Dog Food. Dogs always need time to adjust to a change in diet and this should really be done gradually. I feel that anyone giving this food a chance would find it to be excellent!

    I've had my black lab on Iams for about 2.5 years starting with the puppy formula, then changed him to lamb and rice. Recently, as another reader stated, they did in fact do something to their formula and its been nothing but a nightmare since. His coat is dull and dry, itching all the time, he eats grass like there is no tomorrow and he sheds way more than he used to. labs have 2 coats so I take it with grain of salt this time of year but its really bad. I've changed him over to Californa ...

    My black lab is 4 years old. We have had her since she was six weeks old. The breeder had her on Diamond dog food, after she turned one she got sick off a bad bag so we switched her to Iams large breed. She is in great shape. We get comments all the time how shiney her coat is, she is in picture perfect health. She's been on it for 3 years, so proof is in the pudding! She is our happy, healthy pup!

    My dog has very sensitive stomach and Iams Lamb and Rice was the only dog food she could tolerate. Recently they've changed their formulation (adding caramel coloring to 1/3 of the kibbles). After her first meal, it came all back out. We tried again about 2 more times and she threw it all up. We were able to find some left over bags of the old food but after those are gone, we'll have to change to Eukanuba or Science Diet (we haven't tried those yet). So, if your dog is food sensitive, it might ...

    I have read the other reviews about poor health and sickness, and I am wondering if these owners were unfortunate to buy 'old stock', as I always check the use by date before I buy Iams dog food, and I have spotted out of date bags in stores.

    We tried our first dogs on this, and soon after we found that it was one of the worst foods we could have possibly given. It is full of E numbers, and other cheap fillers. The items coming from his other end were runny, and not of his usual sort, and from now on I wouldn't touch Iams Dog Food if it was the last food on earth.

    I gave my dog Iams only once. He was so ill with vomiting and diarrhoea afterwards that I threw the rest of it away.

    I have two boxers, a puppy who is four months old and a 1 and 1/2 year old boxer. My older boxer immediately had frequent and runny stools, and we didn't realize it was the food. After awhile he began throwing the corn up daily and having diarrhea. My puppy didn't start throwing it up until about three months on it. As soon as we stopped feeding them Iams dog food, their health was normal and they stopped throwing up. For the record, I was stupid and tried to feed Iams again, and the same t ...

    I have now been feeding our 5 dogs on Iams Dog Food since early December & have found a huge improvement in their coats & conditions since I began feeding them this food, I show our dogs week in week out & have to say I have never seen our dogs looking as good as they do now & their coats are smashing, their over weight problems are history now with this food, I had tried & tried to cut their weights on chum complete without any success at all, would recommend to all.

    Iams Dog Food - I'm very unhappy about this and dont dare give him Iams again. This dog has never had loose or watery movements, which is what happened with this bag twice.

    Iams (Lamb and Rice) actually made our Blue Heeler Boarder Collie Mix mean. She was begging to be skinny so we tried Iams. She ate it and a the next day she was out starting fights with our other dogs and biting me and my family. The shyer dog we put on it became mean that is when we knew that it was the dog food not the dog. So do not use it.

    I recommend Iams Dog Food to all Dog owners, exspecially if you care about there health. The only thing is you need a big wallet compared to other brands. I own a detection dog and will only use IAMS.

    Overall Iams Dog Food have poor quality ingredients, deceptive labelling practices make this product a poor choice for consumers.

    Feed your animals good food, not this JUNK from Iams! Try Nutro or Pro Pac for exceptional quality and value.

    Our Doberman pups came on leaps and bounds since we started it on IAMS Large Breed Puppy Food. I get told he looks so healthy, and it's all down to the IAMS dog food. But again, it's quite pricey, around £3 per kg, but I think it's worth every penny and seriously recommend it to everyone. Any food can fill a dog's stomach, but not many do it the favours IAMS will. 10/10, top stuff!
