I’ve been feeding my fur-pal Iams for quite a while now and let me tell you – we’re both big fans! The ingredient label looks solid, with meat being the first thing listed. On top of that, the price also doesn’t make my wallet cry every time I restock – always a plus.
My dog’s coat has been shiny and his energy levels are through the roof ever since switching from his old brand. It seems like it really suits his system. The only downside is that he seems a bit gassy sometimes but let’s be honest, what dog isn’t? 😂
All in all, in my books, Iams gets two thumbs up (or in my buddy’s case, two paws up). Though remember, every pup’s different and what works for one might not work for all. Best bet is to try it out!
Anyway, hope this helps, happy feeding! 🐶
I’ve been using Iams for my golden retriever, Daisy, for a little over a year now. We switched from a cheaper brand when I noticed Daisy picking at her food and her coat looking a bit dull. Since the switch, she’s been chomping down meals like there’s no tomorrow and her coat’s got its shine back!
My vet even complimented Daisy’s overall health during her annual checkup. He said that premium dog food brands like Iams often have more protein and fewer fillers than their bargain counterparts, which is probably why we’re seeing such a positive change.
I also really appreciate Iams’ variety. They cater to different breed sizes, age groups, and dietary needs which is just great if you want to make sure your fur-buddy gets just what they need.
On the downside though, it’s no secret that this stuff’s pricier than most grocery store brands out there. Wished it was a bit easier on the wallet but hey, I figure it’s worth it if Daisy’s staying happy and healthy!
In short – would totally recommend giving Iams dog food a shot! Just do some price-checking ahead of time so that you know what you’re getting into 😉
Keep those tails wagging,
DogDudeMikeHowever…we did have some digestion issues when we first switched over, including upset tummies and disagreeable stools. Thankfully, these problems subsided after a week or two. My advice? Ease into a new food gradually by mixing it with your dog’s current food, and observe for any negative reactions.
Also, the ingredient list does give me pause. Corn is pretty high up there amidst other less desirable fillers. If you’ve got a pupper with a sensitive stomach or specific dietary needs, maybe something grain-free might suit better.
But all in all, for Bella and I? Not too shabby considering the price point. And most importantly: Bella seems to love it!
Remember: every dog is different though! What works well for one may not be ideal for another. Good luck deciding!
His coat shines like crazy and he’s got energy for days, which I attribute in a big part to the food, as it seems to have a balanced blend of nutrients. For my dog, the digestion is smooth and he’s never had any issues consuming or passing it. Plus, his vet checks are always complimented with positive reviews about his overall health.
That said though, every doggy is different! So what works for Fido might not necessarily work for your pooch. There’s always trial and error involved when switching food because we never truly know how our dogs would react until they try it.
But just to give you another side of the coin, one of my friend’s dogs did not take well to Iams – she developed allergies but again – this could totally be specific to her dog’s body reactions.
So yeah…maybe give it a go? But definitely keep an eye out for any changes or unusual behaviors in your fur baby after the switch, and consult with your vet if anything seems off. Hope this helps!
They have a variety of flavors, too. Daisy tends to like the chicken one best. But then again, that dog will eat just about anything – she once ate an entire loaf of bread when my back was turned, plastic bag annd all!
However, every dog is different of course. Some folks’ dogs might not react as well to one brand as another. It’s about finding what works best for your particular pupper.
What really sold me on Iams were the vet recommendations and the nutritious content. Personally though, I would always advise for any major dietary changes to be done gradually to avoid upsetting your dog’s stomach.
Hope this helps! Keep in mind that good food is just one part of keeping our fury friends healthy – regular exercise and vet check-ups are important too!
Just saw your post about Iams dog food and thought I’d chime in with my two cents. I’ve been using Iams for my golden retriever, Tucker, for about a year now and honestly, it’s been pretty great. Tuck’s coat is shinier than ever and he’s full of energy. Plus, the kibble size is just right for him – not too big or too small.
The vet says his overall health has improved compared to when we used to give him generic grocery store food. The only downside (and it’s really nothing major) can be the price point which is a bit higher, but I find that it’s totally worth it for how much Tucker seems to enjoy meal times and how healthy he’s been.
Another minor thing is that the smell can be a bit strong straight out of the bag but hey, as long as Tuck’s happy with it, so am I! Anyway, hope this helps with your decision. Every dog is different so what works for Tucker might not work for your fur buddy. Good luck!
Cheers,
[Your Name]However, a bit of a heads up – not every dog might take to it right away. My collie mix had some minor digestive upset when we introduced the change. Think it’s best to transition any new food slowly, that’ll help them adapt better.
Just like us humans, not every food suits every dog. The best thing to do is try a small bag first before going all in with those giant ones. Remember, pack leader knows best! 😉
Don’t ignore the fact that every dog is different though. Mine took to it well, but some might not. Check with your vet if you’re thinking about switching – make sure you transition them slowly into their new diet so their stomach can adjust. It’s worth giving a shot if you ask me! As we all know, the proof is in the puppy chow!
Just saw this thread and thought I’d share my two cents about Iams dog food. First off, my golden retriever Lily has been enjoying it for a couple of years now. We had a bit of trial and error finding something she realy liked (she’s pretty fussy), but since we landed on Iams, she hasn’t looked back.
I do like that they have a range to choose from depending on your pup’s breed, age or size. There are even specific formulas for puppies, mature dogs, overweight dogs – you name it! It was really helpful when Lily was gaining a bit of weight (OK yes, maybe one too many table scraps) so we could switch to the weight control formula.
I can tell you that her coat has never been shinier and she seems to have boundless energy – more than she did with other brands we tried. The vet even complimented her on her teeth last time we went in, which is always a good sign!
But remember every pooch is unique, right? What works for Lily may not work for all. Always make sure to gradually transition your pet’s food so their system can get used to it. Oh and don’t forget loads of love and belly rubs along the way too 😉
Good luck with your fur baby!
We’ve been feeding our golden retriever, Daisy, Iams Proactive Health Adult Dry Dog Food for about a year now and she seems to realy dig it. Her coat’s been shinier and she just looks… healthier, you know? Plus, the vet says her weight is ideal and we don’t see any tummy issues.
The food itself smells pretty good, not strong or repelling like some others out there and has a decent grain-free formula. Price-wise, it’s reasonable too considering the quality.
However, keep in mind that each doggo is unique! What works for Daisy might not necessarily sit well with your fur buddy. Always best to transition their diet slowly and observe any changes. Should they seem unhappy or react badly (like diarrhea or vomiting), consult your vet pronto.
So all in all – good stuff, but always monitor your pooch when changing diets! 🙂
Hey there! So, my golden retriever has been chowing down on Iams for about six months now. Honestly? He seems to be loving it! I was a bit skeptical at first, but his coat transitioned from dull to shiny, and he’s got energy for days now. The ingredients list also appears pretty solid – no weird chemicals or fillers as far as I can see.
That said, every doggy’s different, right? So while my pooch thrives on this stuff, yours might not. They might have a sensitive stomach or food allergies… who knows? Best thing you can do is trial-and-error with small amounts first and watch for changes in behavior and physical condition.
Also, just FYI – Don’t forget to consult with your vet before switching up their diet too drastically! They’ll make sure the food meets all the nutritional needs specific to your furry friend’s breed and age.
Cheers!
She’s a picky eater, but she takes right to it like it’s her favorite snack. She’s 7 years old now and still spry as a pup! Still has a shiny coat and sparkling eyes – the vet says she’s real healthy too.
But like all things, not everything fits all, right? Heard about some dogs getting tummy troubles from different food brands. As for Daisy, she never had any issues with IAMS. But again, every dog is different – what suits one might upset another.
If you’re considering changing your pup’s diet, best have a chat with your vet first. They really know their stuff and can give advice based on your pup’s specific needs.
Anyway, good luck with the food hunt. Hope you find the best fit for your furbaby!
Just wanted to chime in with my own two cents on the Iams dog food debate here. I’ve been feeding it to my Beagle, Chester, for about a year now and honestly, he seems to love it. His coat’s looking shinier, his energy levels are through the roof and he finishes every meal within minutes – always a good sign!
The vet even mentioned that his overall health has improved. Granted, there might be other factors at play as well because we’ve upped his exercise routine and cut back on table scraps (much to Chester’s dismay), but I do think the switch in food helped.
One thing we did notice though was a bit of an upset tummy during the initial switch-over. But once we transitioned slowly from his old food to Iams, everything settled down.
So yeah, overall pretty impressed with Iams. Although I would urge fellow pup parents not to rush the transition process if you decide give it a whirl – take it super slow! Anyhow, hope this helps folks still deciding if they want to make the switch or not.
Catch ya later guys!
