| I feel awful - I had no idea! I have been buying Iams since Biddy was a puppy. I want to throw up right now. I can't believe I have been supporting this. I will be boycotting from now on.

| I feed my dogs wet dog food in the morning (Premium) and then they have dry IAMS out all day in case they get hungry while I'm at work. At the rate they're eating their IAMS (or any other dry food for that matter), the bag I have is going to last ten years. My dogs eat a little wet food in the morning, have IAMs out during the day, and eat people safe food in the evening (often my leftovers - or chicken, other meats, rice, eggs, -- or many other foods, etc.). They get a wide variety of different foods and are happy, healthy, playful dogs. But - as I said - I probably won't be buying any more dry food for quite some time. Then I'll check different foods out again. Carol Jean |

| I Feed Eukanuba, Which is P&G, in other words IAMS! Thats terrible what they are putting those precious animals through, I feed 2 out of my 3 Eukanuba, which is P&G in other words IAMS... They LOVE their food... Gizmo eats Eukanuba Lamb & Rice, and Gypsy eats Eukanuba Yorkshire Breed Specific... I don't support cruelty to animals, and look forward to changing their diets... Thanks for the info... How about boycotting Butterball products! I watched a movie/documentary a few days ago about Butterball Turkey Farms!! What a disgrace, the treatment of turkeys investigation by PETA... Its horrific what they do to those birds before we consume them... I will never consume their products again!! And I Love low sodium butterball turkey breast from the deli... And also Butterball Turkey on Thanksgiving & Christmas Holidays!! I will eat something else instead... I Love My Furbabies, Nygee, Gizmo & Gypsy!! |

| I also want to thank you for this information. I did not know that some dog food companies cruelly test animals in order to help them make dog food. How sad. |

| Not sure if they are still doing this. The other day I smelled a bag of Science Diet Lamb and Rice and it smelled like a Rendering Plant. How on earth do they really test pet food? Feeding raw or homecooked would help stop the testing on animals |
