Please Boycott Iams!

hey guys,
i dont know if anyone here uses Iams food for their furbabies....
but if you do, please consider changing their food.

Iams carries out horrific animal experiements, that tortures and takes the lives of animals.

its pretty hard to believe a pet food company would be so evil, but alas its true.

please take the time to read some, i hope it will help you decide to switch food brands.

thank you.

some info 2 Uncaged.co.uk

www.iamscruelty.com

hope i do not come off sounding preachy. just hoping that less and less ppl use their products.

ETA: Eukenuba is part of Iams, so please don't buy that either!
Also, Science Diet also does animal testing

Re: Please Boycott Iams!

We used to but stopped awhile ago when I heard about how horrible the company was. I have never seen these sites though. Disgusting.

My mom also just recently stopped by IAMS because her vet mentioned that the company tests on animals.

Boo! Hiss! to IamsChat Icon

I have heard this too Chat Icon
I want to but Murphy only does well on his Eukanuba so on one hand I want to boycott the product but not at the cost of my dog's health.

Re: Please Boycott Iams!

BTW, in addition to the animal testing...Iams is not that good for your pet in the long run. Both my mother's cat's and my old dog got very bad teeth and stomach problems. We had the same vet and he had recommended Iams when they were young. He says now that he has found almost all of his patients have the same type of problems and he blames it on the Iams, especially the teeth problems.

Re: Please Boycott Iams!

Yeah I read about this on the puppy mill rescue chat board. How friggin hypocritical. I actually wrote to all the dog show people condemning them for allowing such a horrific sponsor to portray themselves as lovers of dogs. Chat Icon
