The main reason that I've never considered Iams or Eukaneuba for our dogs or cats is the fact they are owned by Proctor and Gamble--which is the worst company ever for doing totally unnecessary animal testing on all their products (household, etc). And they're proud of that fact and refuse to quit!!!
I have refused to purchase or use any Proctor & Gamble product--food, cleaning, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, etc--for years, and tell everyone I meet why and what good alternatives are.
You really have to be careful and read labels--it is sometimes hidden. And since the P & G brands are the most heavily advertised in the world--like the Iams--most people just automatically buy them. Pantene, Oil of Olay, Tide, Cheer, Pringles,Mr. Clean Folgers, Charmin, Crest, etc. Just a thought on helping all animals--not just our own!!!
Every time I see a commercial for Dawn dishwashing liquid and how P & G is helping to clean up oil-covered birds, I just shake my head. At the same time that they're touting their laurels, they are torturing many other animals in their labs!!
