Hi there dusty has been on IAMS puppy food since we got him thats what he was fed on before so we kept it up, dont kow much about it has any1 used it? Or know anything good or bad about it?

Have been swithering on putting him on the raw diet but am not entirely confident on what he should get so bit warey? Any ideas on which is better for him?

Regardless of what it contains I won't touch IAMS because of their ethics (or lack of ) An internet search will show you most of it.

I find raw feeding brilliant for my three but it's not for everyone. Regarding kibbles I'm sure the others can recommend

can't agree more with milliesmum we always used IAMS until reading this about 4 years ago.
people on ST rave about a RAW diet so it must work very well i've never tried it as i've always fed james wellbeloved to my dogs it's not the cheapest but full of goodness. sorry i can't be more help but i'm sure others can.

OMG just googled IAMS cant believe it we are def changing wether to raw or other processed!

I am so mad that they get to advertise so much and that pet shops stock it!!

Def changing!!

mine have chappie and soaked biscuit , have used it for years got healthy dogs with no probs or digestive trouble but its each to their own, (theres so much too choose from now)

Am proud to say that the petshop I worked in refused to sell IAMS or Bakers

And since I worked there their 'raw' sales had increased

JWB is a decent company. Also, despite Chappie being thought of as a lower end dog food it's actually very digestible and can benefit some dogs.

Also worth checking the contents of over the counter Hills Science Plan if you've been vet referred. Alot of the stuff in the good quality petshops is the same although some isn't.

Thank you for all ur replies ( am at work just now ) so when i go home il chat to OH and we can decide what to do, he has a hawk so thought raw would be a good way for us to go as we have this type of stuff iin outside freezer already, its just quite scarey to change over to raw. I am so glad i posted this and found out the truth about IAMS!! They will not get another penny from me or any1 i know for that matter!!

Thanx

sorry should have said mine have the tinned chappie and soaked biscuit not the dried kibble chappie

debonair uk, you must have little or no sense of smell like me! I can remember a friend telling me that her vet said that Chappie was one of the best foods for a dog - but the tinned stuff does honk!

I feed raw, and have done since he was about nine or ten weeks. If I was to feed dry, I would probably use Skinners (especially after having met the rep at the Feniton fun day a couple of weeks ago)
