“My GSD died eating IAMS”

written by 169O'Donnell on 02/11/2017

My GSD female who was active and competing in Utility competition, ate IAMS Proactive Large breed dog food, for 10.2 yrs and when I opened the last bag (from the Nebraska plant) purchased from Costco...she developed diarrhea and vomiting. Went to the vet got medicines and I/D dog food... also called IAMS to see if any consumers reported vomiting and diarrhea...they said no, they had not had any calls. My dog was better for 2-3 weeks and blood tests came back good....Dr felt we could introduce dog food again.... I gradually mixed IAMS with the ID dog food and She developed diarrhea and vomiting a second time... so went to get more meds only to return home to find her dead. Called IAMS again and asked if any consumers had reported death, vomiting or diarrhea....they again said no. The IAMS company lied to me. One of the GSD club members directed me to the Consumer Affairs site....There were 651 complaints about the IAMS dog food with the same symptoms and deaths. The company lied to me not once, but twice. I am pursuing this matter.
