Dogs need a diet that's high in animal proteins and fat, with an ideal ration of protein to carbohydrates to maintain a healthy energy level. Dogs on IAMS are getting essential amino acids, plus the amount of carbs they need for fetching toys and retrieving slippers.

Iams Small Breed Puppy Dry Dog Food
By Bentley on Feb 5, 2019
I purchased 2 large bags of Iams Pro Active Puppy dry dog food. My 9wk old Shih Tzu will not eat this. He ate a small portion and it took a long time for him to even do that. He seems to be a picky eater. I also bought Iams ProActive Health Pate for puppies, he seems to like that better. I want him to eat both dry and wet food. Any ideas.

Puppy food
By Coderk on Oct 6, 2018
My new puppy Séamus seems to love this, so far so good! It was not the food he was eating at the breeders but they recommended this and gave me some of the food he was eating to mix, first day 75% old/25% new, second day 50/50, third day 25/75. He had no problem transitioning. :)

This is great puppy food for the smaller breeds like chihuahua or smaller. The pebbles are small and the taste must be good as the puppies liked it right away. Just fantastic!

Puppy food for expectant mom.
By Barbara on Sep 5, 2018
The vet said to start the mom to be on puppy food so it’ll be easier for the puppies. Marci is doing fine. Puppies due in 2 more weeks. Can’t wait.

great food for puppies
By Donna on Aug 16, 2018
Puppy likes it and it is easy for him to manage. He still sometimes gets into our older dog's food, but eats his own most of the time.
