Iams in General Reviews

IAMS is produced by Proctor and Gamble and is tested on animals.

P&G admit that guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, rats and mice are among the animals poisoned in their 'product safety research', and cats and dogs are used in experiments for their pet foods.

P&G are very secretive about their toxicity tests, where chemicals are repeatedly force-fed to animals, rubbed into their raw skin, or dripped into their eyes. Other brutal tests include forcing animals to inhale chemicals or injecting substances up their noses.

Now, I'm not a cat, so I can't vouch for the taste of these, but my boy loves them. Like all cats, he is extremely fussy, prone to changing his mind on a whim, so the fact that he eats these every day and has done for months, is a pretty good recommendation I reckon. I feed George wet food as well as dry (dry for snacking) but I ...  Read the complete review

I must confess I have tried every single dried cat food out there to try to please my little ones. This was one of the more successful of the bunch and for a while I did buy it quite regulary. I used the buy the IAMS Adult variety with fish as they seem to enjoy fishy based foods more than meat based ones. Well they LOVED ...  Read the complete review

BACKGROUND INFORMATION When I first had my cat as a 10 month old, he was a fussy eater. I bought him Go Cat which is what his previous owners said he ate, but he was not at all impressed with it. So on began the quest to find him something he would like, but Sir decided for himself when he started going in my neighbour's house and ...  Read the complete review

I have had my cat Elmo for almost 7 years now and I've noticed that the older he's become the more fussy he's become at meal times. The last time I took him to the vet I got a bit of a telling off because he had lost a lot of weight just due to him refusing to eat the food that was put down to him so I decided that I needed to take some drastic ...  Read the complete review

Most pet owners, like to do the best for them, and clearly purchasing a premium food item such as IAMS is seemingly a good thing. Combining dry food convenience (for the owner) with the nutritional benefits of IAMS (for the cat). Unfortunately though, my personal (or rather our cats) experience with IAMS dry cat food, has not been a ...  Read the complete review

I thought IAMS was good too until I read about how many animals suffered experimentation, including deliberately induced kidney failure during it's develoment! See http://www.moggies.co.uk/html/iams.html - I think it is valid that buyers should be aware of this to allow you to make your own choice. I know I've made mine!

Sure enough, I'd recently just started feeding my cats Iams. This was becasue of a tooth problem possibly casued from eating too much wet food. Both the male and ...  Read the complete review

miaaaaaaaow! We three got a bit hacked off with the human buying us whiskas pouches, after all there is only so much leeway you can give them, isn't there. Next thing you know they try to palm you off with a tin of disgusting fish bones or something. We settled on a trial period of bringing home our own dinner, and sure ...  Read the complete review

I discovered a very upsetting thing about Iams today. The Iams that I have been feeding my treasured cats for the past year was laboratory tested, excruciatingly and terrifyingly, on a large number of cats and dogs. The kinds of tests are described below. I don't seek to preach. I am posting this article to enable you to make an ...  Read the complete review

I know you will all think that the yard staff do the hard work; looking after all the horses; staying up all night when they are sick or due to foal; shifting ...  Read the complete review

I am a big advocate of dried food for pets. My two cats are fed on Hills dried food normally - this gives them glossy coats, good health, and although as with any dried food your pet is likely to need more water than with wet food, the Hills doesn't make them overly thirsty. Two weeks ago, unable to get hold of more Hills as the shop ...  Read the complete review

As many readers will be aware I have rescued animals. My local rescue centre, Wood Green Animal Shelter recommends Iams for its animals. I know that Proctor and Gamble makes them, so am a little reluctant to buy this product. Max (my five toothed Tabby) is always hungry. Two weeks ago I ran out of James Well Beloved for Max, so at 6am in the ...  Read the complete review
