That does not make much sense as Iams are right around 4% fiber on all the formulas I checked (wasn't sure which Iam's the vet wanted you to use) and are Solid Gold Just a Wee Bits and Wellness Super 5 Mix for Small Breed are also at not more than 4% fiber.
I feed Solid Gold Just a Wee Bits now and have been for several months now. The pups seem to like it fine and I LOVE it. The ingredients are great, the kibble size is tiny, it is an All-Life-Stage food, and it is available locally for me!
I would tell him that these are all 4% fiber and you would prefer to use a Premium food instead of Iams (which is at best a mediocre one).
I also very much agree with Maui Girl in her advice not to make major feeding changes for just a few bouts of diarrhea and try the pumpkin or beet pulp instead. If they had been doing well on a Premium brand before and this is just a recent problem, then I would think it even more important NOT to change the food as you investigate other varibles that might be causing the trouble. Could just be a normal little germ that they could pick up in the back yard or from another friendly dog lick.
Good luck and I hope things get solid soon!
