Iams Large Breed Puppy formula

Pros: convenient- available at local grocery store; nutritional balance; great results
Cons: more expensive than some other brands

I picked up Lizzy from the animal shelter about five months ago. She was a small energetic 3-month-old Golden Retriever/Lab mix. I fell in love with her right away and wanted only the best for her. I began my search for the best dog food. Since ...

Pros: good nutrition balance, puppies love it
Cons: more expensive than average puppy food

Now I want to make it clear that the stools referred to are not mine but those of Zoe's, our 1 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever. Also that the healthy shine refers to her coat and not her stools (you can't polish a turd as the saying goes).

...

Pros: Trusted brand, perfectly balanced food for large breeds, comes in 3 sizes, good availability
Cons: Expensive (but well worth the extra)

We purchased our Golden Retriever Floyd in February 1999 and decided from day one that he should only have the best quality food. We did much research on the internet, checked in our local Petsmart and asked around our friends - the general consensus was...

Pros: HIGH QUALITY/LOWER COST/CONVENIENT AVAILABILITY
Cons: MY PUPS EAT SO MUCH, I HAD TO START BUYING 40LB BAGS

I choose IAMS BECAUSE I HAVE A FINICKY EATER. I HAVE 2 GERMAN SHEPHERD PUPS, ONE THAT IS 22 MONTHS AND THE OTHER THAT IS 6 MONTHS.

THE OLDEST IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PICKY EATER. SHE WAS ON EUKANUBA UNTIL ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO, WHEN THE...

Pros: formulated for large dogs, meat products
Cons: higher priced but worth it

Some people like puppies, and then some people like BIG puppies.
Those of us that favor the breeds known as the gentle giants, also recognize that these breeds require a little bit of extra love and care. Not only do they eat more, they need more...

Pros: healthy diet, made for large growing puppies, available anywhere
Cons: more expensive than some brands because I have to buy 40lb bag/ month

I bought my Akita from a breeder back in December. He was so full of life and energy and he was growing like a weed. We got him at 6 weeks old and he was only 10 lbs, now he is not quite 5 months old yet and he is 55lbs. I owe that all to Iams. I ...

Pros: Great for housebreaking because of small stools.
Cons: I have heard IAMS does animal testing.

I have 2 Doberman puppies, one 5 months and the other 3 months old.
I wanted something great for them to eat and Iams came highly recommended from the breeder of the oldest pup. I have been buying Iams for about 4 months now. Although, I am no food...

Pros: Shiny coat and healthy skin
Cons: More expensive than store brands

I have been a big Iams fan for years. I have always bought this brand for my cat.

Our puppy is a German Shepherd. We picked up our puppy when she was 10 weeks old. The owners had been feeding her Purina Puppy Chow. She was very healthy...

Pros: High quality nutrition
Cons: None I know of.

As someone else wrote we also have a Golden Retriever puppy. We've had her a month and is 12 weeks old now. We've learned a lot about pet nutrition and wanted to do better with this new little one than in the past with our previous dogs.
I was...

Pros: best for thier joints
Cons: expense

Hi there, I have a new puppy at my house. Although I think that calling him a puppy is a little understated! :-) "Moose" is my new Black Labrador Retriever. He is now about 8 months and weighs 75 pounds. HUGE! He eats a lot of food but...

Pros: Good results in growing pups.
Cons: Slightly more expensive than some other brands.

As a breeder of confirmation show dogs, I have had great results using Iams puppy food. The pups ween quickly. Their coats are full, shiney and have deep, rich color. The bone structure is more than adequate.

Iams products are used by the...

Pros: Has what large dogs need that others don't; less waste; vet recommended.
Cons: Price.

I chose Iams because I wanted the very best for my dog. In the past, I've heard the vet recommend Iams for our family dogs. When I moved out and got my own puppy, I attended a "Puppy Class" at our local veterinary clinic, wherein it was again suggested...

Pros: Quality
Cons: Price

We bought this food on the recommendation of our vet, when our dog was about 3 months old. The large breed formula puppy food is lower in fat than the regular puppy food, as well as high in good quality protein. One of the first ingredients is chicken,...

Pros: completely formulated for the dog
Cons: price

People do not realize the amount of money that is needed to maintain a pet properly. There are the shots, checkups, leashes, crates, toys, food, etc. This is especially true when you have a Labrador Retriever as a pet. You can cut corners, however, I...

Pros: I was impressed with the quality of the food.
Cons: Higher priced than some other dog foods.

I have to admit Iams is a little higher than some of the other brands, but I feel the benefits out weigh the higher price. I have a Standard Poodle he is now 15 month old. I have just switched him to Iams Large Breed adult. I tried a couple of different...
