We had our golden puppy on this from 8 weeks til about 14 weeks old. He kept having a lot of issues with loose stools. All testing negative. Didn't particularly like the food, had to do a lot of encouraging to get him to eat it. Read other reviews and thought, may be the food. Did a cold switch, to another large breed puppy food. He gobbled the food up, stools firmed up. He has been on the new food for about a week now and we couldn't be happier. Other pups may not have an issue, but this was our experience.

The kennel my German Shepherd is from recommended IAMS large breed until she is two years old, when she finishes growing, as it is what they feed their pups. She is a grazer, but gobbles up everything in her bowl when she gets hungry! A lot of people recommended brands like Fromm and Blue Buffalo, but she is healthy and happy with this food. Her stomach is also pretty sensitive and this kibble has never upset it. IAMS, along with some fish oil and joint supplements, is perfect for her daily needs. Can't beat the price and wonderful customer service, too!!

Originally bought it because we needed a large breed puppy food, but then realized that the puppy on the bag looked like our own. Perfect match. Plus, she likes it better than her old food

Active dog sport/competition dogs. Our feed of choice for puppies and adults since 1999. Our dogs like it moistened with a bit of water. Have always had good results. Amazingly less volume of stool comes out then their intake and almost no odor. Our dogs love canned food too so we usually put 1/2 can food obviously increasing a bit of needed fat. I am surprised and a bit suspicious by the negative result stories. I have found no difference in the high end $$ foods by comparison thru the years. If consumers want to pay more for dog foods. I guess they can.

I switched my nursing mothers to this food and they love it. It’s very small so when the puppies start eating regular food this should be easy and small enough for them. I definitely recommend this product!

I am full aware of GMO, byproducts, meals, & all the ingredients that people complain so heavily about. I do disagree with all the concerns, considering MOST animals and people do consume said products frequently and are just fine. Sure you get sensitive tummies and the like, but for the average day to day life, this food is just fine. We feed this to our Husky and large (16lb) Pomeranian. No, I didn't realize it was 'Large breed' when I first purchased, but by the time I noticed (silly I know) I didn't want to change their diet until we switch to regular dog food in December, when the last puppy officially can start eating adult food.

I do feed my pups fruits and veges every day with a morning breakfast including blueberries, soaked chia seeds, and natural peanut butter (no salt!). That probably helps them with the lower quality foods, but it works for us and for that I am grateful. … more

Our baby loves this and is at such a great weight and her health is amazing. She loves it when we put water and make a gravy for her as well. Her coat is soft, her skin is clear, her gums and teeth are great.

I have been very skeptical of Iams after recalls years ago. However, after repeated visits to the vet with my 4 month old lab/husky puppy (really had an upset stomach for most of a month), the vet recommended this food. I have to say, his stomach has been fine for over a month now and finally normal weight. I was thinking I might get a more holistic food, but that transition caused the same upset, so we are sticking with Iams!

My puppy seems very reluctant to eat this. I’ve had the bowl filled since 5pm and now it’s almost 7pm; but still pretty full. Granted my puppy wanted to play so that’s part of it, but most dogs gobble their food right up.
