Iams wouldn't be my first choice or recommendation, but there may be more reasons than just this one why your vet could be asking you to feed it. Maybe there are other concerns here...

I think I read that Wellness is being fed now. Heard a lot about stool issue from that brand... I think if it was just a couple days of loose stool, it's fine to choose another "holistic" food or try this one again.

But there are many vets who don't care about selling food. They don't want to stock it. They make very little money off of it. They don't necessarily love the companies. They recommend them because they are obligated to (by their patients). They have helped a lot of dogs. RX foods are stocked at the vet office taht I spend a lot of time at. They don't like having to stock it. They don't make much off of it. They don't get great deals on it for their own dogs. In fact, I know a vet who tried to get a deal on a name brand dog food for her own dog. She was able to get it cheaper at the pet store than what she could order a bag for through her office.
