Not the worst, but not good either.
By MeadowsMom on Oct 6, 2020
I only bought this because the breeder had my puppy on it. I gradually switched my puppy over to Purina Pro Plan large breed puppy food. When I told my vet this he approved, adding that Iams is not a particularly good dog food. It’s only slightly better than some of the supermarket brand foods. So, no I would not recommend this.

only food my puppy can keep down
By Sam97 on Sep 7, 2020
Ive tried several brands of dog food, including science diet, purina pro plan, and a Costco brand. My 11 month old lab/ Great Pyrenees mix throws everything up. The owner of one of his brothers recommended this brand to me because her dog has the same issue and low and behold, he keeps it down! So far so good. He’s only vomited once in the last week and his puke looked like he’d eaten kitty litter and not just half digested food.

Dog Likes It, but Lethargic
By rebs on Sep 3, 2020
I tried this food after royal canin because it is cheaper. At first, I was pleased. The pup liked it! But now that he has been only on this food for a couple weeks, he is lethargic and he poops SO much. I read that when dogs poop this much it is because they can’t digest a lot of the food. This make sense because of all of the fillers in this food. He never begged for our food when we had him on royal canin, but now I think he’s hungry all the time.

Very good food
By WolfLady on Nov 17, 2020
This is very good food and my puppy has thrived on it. My veterinarian recommends only a certain number of food and Iams is one of those food.

Big mess with a ripped bag
By Heidi on Sep 15, 2020
I opened my package and the dog food bag was ripped on the side I had to get everything else out of it in order to clean up the mess was not happy at all. Never had any other problems.

better than Costco brand
By puppyfood on Jul 14, 2020
I had pedigree first, my dog liked it, but after reading that it it wasn’t the most nutritious I switch to the Costco brand puppy food. My dog ate it but with little interest. I had to mix in other foods for her to like it. Glad I found this brand. Best value I think for puppy food. I have a border collie lab mix breed.

My puppy came home on this food.
By srdladybug on Jun 14, 2020
My puppy came home on this food from the breeder. I bought some and kept her on it. She gobbles it up and loves it. However, it is full of fillers and she always seems like she is starving before mealtime and she had many bowel movements per day. Also, she had white flakes on her fur. I started adding the food I want her to be on and she seems more full. I think it is a great option for pet parents that do not want to or cannot spend more money for better quality food.

My 3 Dogs Won't Touch It
By Annika on Jun 12, 2020
I used to feed my dog Iams several years back when it was considered to be one of the top brands. (Before Science Diet, Royal Canine, etc) In my most recent order with chewy I decided to give the brand another shot as I recently added another addition to my family. I have three dogs, two of them are under a year and the other one is about a year and a half. Not one will touch it including my guy who will normally eat anything... So therefore, I cannot recommend this product.
