This Dog Food Really Works
August 4, 2014
We feed our dogs this food and then they act like dogs all day long. They are healthy, good-looking, and energetic so our conclusion is that this product really works. I give this a four star rating because, though there's nothing wrong with it, I feel most dog food could always be improved. We switched to Iams from Purina because Iams has a better quality ingredient list with chicken, rather than corn, as the top ingredient.
Full disclosure: I haven't eaten this product myself, but I've watched the dogs eat it and they really seem to like it. Of course, they eat bumble bees and seem to enjoy that too, so if you want to know if it is delicious you'll have to try it for yourself. The bottom line is we believe this is a better quality product than other comparably priced brands, and about as good as you can do without shelling out serious money for the organic fancy buffalo stuff.

Not for Pointer Sister
December 27, 2017
This food was not the right one for Pointer Sister. When I got her from the rescue, she'd been eating this for months, so I kept her on it to avoid upsetting her tummy. But I noticed that she was extremely itchy, had bald spots in her coat, and constantly acted hungry. I'm not sure all these issues were 100% due to the food, but I switched her to a grain-free, limited ingredient brand as soon as I felt I could. (I'll review that product separately.) On the new food, her coat is gorgeous, she rarely itches, and she seems full. Of course it costs 3x as much, but Pointer Sister is worth every penny! :)

My golden retriever is still in great shape after 14 years because of this dog food; 1 cup twice a day. He looks and acts half his age. My next dog will eat nothing but Iams... well, maybe the occasional banana or carrot too

I have 3 dogs; a Jack Russel mix, a German Shepherd/Collie mix, and an Australian Shepherd. I've tried different foods with them as they were growing up, but as adults this is the one food they will all continuously eat. We average one of these big bags about every 2 weeks, the dogs are all healthy, energetic, playful, and have beautiful coats. I'm not in a position to pay $50+ per bag for Blue what ever, this stuff does the trick and even my vet said, buy what you can afford, but try to keep overall quality in mind, and said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with Iams.

This is the first time I switched my dog's food and my dog didn't get sick. She loves this food as is although I sometimes add white or brown rice to it. My dog just loves rice so I give her a little 2 or 3 times a week mixed with this product. I've also fed her around other dogs whom I seen completely walk away from the food their owner gave them to eat the IAMS brand. No dogs got sick when they ate this food. It's the only thing I will feed her now. It has always came on time and packaged well in a big box that my 3 year old turns into a car, plane, and doll house. Hope you love this product as much as I do. SN: I have a pitbull and I've noticed she doesn't have gas as much anymore nor does her farts smell as bad as they used to.

My little Rat Terrier likes it. The dog had developed a bad rash on his back, he scratched and scratched until the rash was red and he had lost a good deal of fur. My son told me that it was probably the cheap dog food, Alpo. Well, the rash is clearing up and the fur is growing back. More importantly my little dog isn't scratching all the time. IAMS costs a bit more but it is worth it.
January 2, 2018 Up-Date.
The dogs rash is completely healed and his fur is nearly filled in. No scratching at all.

Started my dog on this dog food since she is an older lady now and when I noticed she was having some problems with energy and getting up the porch steps. She has been on it for about 2 months and oh boy can I see a change. I never thought that dog food would make such a drastic difference but she is like a new dog. I swear that food made my dog about 5 years or more younger. She still lays around and sleeps a lot but when she is awake she has less problems going up and down the stairs; heck she even seems to use them as her personal stair master and goes up and down several times a day just for exercise. She is also more sociable and interacts more with all of us. I need to start taking her for walks again to see if she also has more energy while making it around the block.. LOL

I've been feeding my dog Iams for several years. He is 8 years old and has experienced no health issues at all. The price point is decent in comparison to other similar items. I am a fan of the "mini chunks" even though my dog is well over 50lbs and has no problem swallowing a chicken bone whole if he wanted to. There isn't much more to say about this product without extensive knowledge of dog food ingredients, but i went to their site and got a full description of them which i find acceptable since the first ingredient is chicken, followed by several others that I know to be healthy and safe.

It's Iams.. what can I say! It's good for my dogs.. both my Boston Terrier and my Norwegian Elk hound seem to like the little mini chunks just fine and they are a perfect size for my Boston .. she does not have to struggle to crunch them up.
I feed my dogs a small amount of wet dog food also.. but always have a bowl of the dry dog food setting out. I have used the mini chunks for quite some time years ago for my Jack Russell... who had a small delicate mouth. On occasion I will switch to another brand of dry dog food just to let the dogs have a bit of a shakeup and taste something different.. but my mainstay is Iams mini chunks...
Its hard to know what else to say.. so I will just say that I like all the Iams products.. and this particular kind is the fav in our household for the two dogs I have now.

Before I became an Amazon Prime member I purchase this exact dog food from local retailers. I usually paid approximately $15-18 for a 15 lb bag. I had previously tried other well known small bites dog food from other major manufacturers and was told to change my dogs food immediately. I have seen great improvement in my two dogs coats, breath,teeth, and appetites since I changed over to Iams. Now the bonus if you are a prime member you can purchase a 15lb bag from Amazon for around $13 or like I just did and bought a 30 lb bag for only $23.99. This is only one of the cases that make me continue my membership and urge others to take advantage of the many perks available for people who give Prime a try.
