Healthy Digestion
Getting the right amount and type of fiber is important for your dog's digestive health. IAMS uses a proprietary fiber blend that includes prebiotics and beet pulp.

Every IAMS recipe is tailored to your dog's nutritional needs with the proper level and right kind of fiber for healthy digestion.

IAMS delivers a customized mix of protein and carbs to keep your dog energized and ready for running and playing. 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.

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.

This kibble has been great with my puppies. They eat this food just fine and seem to have no issues at all. It's good priced and pup approved in my household. 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

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!

I cannot use this puppy food for my 7 weel old Great Pyreness, the ingrediants do not agree with his stomach. After speaking with my Vet, I have found out that eating this food for him is like feeding Cheese Burgers, It is a really rich puppy foor not for large dogs as it states, My vet says this would be better to a Medium to Large Dog, not a extra Large like a Great Pyreness, so I have to return it for a refund. He has given me more suggestions to try. So I will be returning it if they allow me to, And order t=what my Vet recommends. Chewy is very good to deal with and if a food is not correct for your dog, they will refund you $$ and provide you with a different food more compatible I cannot use this puppy food for my 7 weel old Great Pyreness, the ingrediants do not agree with his stomach.

I have foster puppies who are on the Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy and they are thriving so well on it! I feed them twice a day and sit patiently while I prepare their bowls and then dig in!! Very good protein levels and not too much of the filler stuff. Highly recommend Iams ProActive for the littles!!!

We got an 8 week old goldendoodle and the breeder said this is what she was using to feed the pups. Our dog cannot get enough of this she loves it and isnt having any sort of digestive issues. The breeder also told us when she is old enough to switch to the green Iams bag as well. So far so good, but wouldnt mind trying other brands to be honest. We want to have a very healthy pup.

We ordered the largest bag due to the fact that we wanted 2 of our 3 dogs on this formula, and both are over 70 pounds. One dog doesn't mind, he doesn't go crazy over it but he does eat it. Our 9-month-old, however, does not like it. We are trying to find something to put weight on him that he doesn't turn his nose up at. Trial and error is the only way. It was nice that I got it delivered as it takes some of the suckage out of our failure in our dog food search. It's a good food for the price, and if your dog isn't picky it would be a great fit.

My 78 pound GSD mix didn't really like this food plus she throws up every time she ate it SO not the best but the ingredients aren't awful so that's one plus and you can get this food basically anywhere. Anyway, the shipping was fast and free so that was Great!

I think this puppy food might work and having it delivered to the house is great! They amount of food they are eating I would be at the store every week! Now, I just have to adjust the timing. And, I'm looking into more treats. Love the auto ship pay weekly as well.

We feed Iams Healthy weight large breed to our adult dogs,so naturally when we got a new puppy, we stuck with Iams and purchased the large breed puppy food. He likes it ( so do the adult dogs!!) no soft stool, or vom and he's growing like a weed!
