| kristen0421's Full Review: Iams Lamb Meal and Rice Formula for Adult Dogs |
We were having problems with the health of our two large dogs when we were told to put them both on Iam's Lamb Meal and Rice Formula. Our weimaraner, then a year old, had food allergies that gave him a rash on his belly and around his legs. Our great dane mix had a very sensitive stomach and constantly seemed to have diarrhea. We had tried several brands of over-priced "boutique" dog foods that were advertised as organic, natural, and perfect for dogs with allergies and sensitive stomachs; these "superior" dog foods cost anywhere from $40 - $60 for a 30 or 40 lb. bag, did not help our dogs one bit, and were the reasons we were spending so much time and money at the veterinarian's office.
When our vet recommended Iam's Lamb and Rice for both dogs, I was skeptical that it would help the problems they both had. However, both dogs showed incredible improvements after eating Iam's for less than a week. The mix's diarrhea disappeared; her stools became solid and healthy. The weimaraner's rash cleared up quickly and his coat took on a beautiful, healthy shine. We were sold, and have been buying Iam's now for over a year.
Some of our friends did not have the luck we have had with this dog food; the most common complaint we hear is that their dog(s) gained too much weight while eating Iam's Lamb and Rice. However, this is typically a complaint from people with less active dogs and people who do not exercise their dogs often enough. We have had no such problem; both of our dogs eat 4 cups of the food every day - 2 cups in the morning and 2 cups in the evening - and have maintained their ideal body weights the entire time. They are VERY active dogs, though, and get at least 2 hours of exercise each day.
