Iams ProActive Health

Iams starts off right by putting a meat “meal” as the top ingredient. That’s the way to begin, and it should be the primary ingredient. After that, it sort of falls apart with brewers rice (alcohol by-product bought cheaply) and corn meal (worthless to dogs). Sorghum is thought of as a middle of the road grain. More corn follows it up, and then a by-product which I was really hoping NOT to see in a food that costs as much as Iams does. They can afford to use quality parts of the chicken without resorting to disgusting by-products.

They pick up a bit at the end with using fish meal, as well as eggs. Whole grain barley is a solid grain as well, but it’s way too late in the list for it to make up for all of the corn in this food.

The verdict is that it’s better than Science Diet, but far inferior to the premium foods out there that won’t comprimise quality. Giving it 3 stars just didn’t seem to add up here, so it gets 2.

Where to buy?

What’s good about this food….

Lamb meal is first, barley is used as grain, fish meal.

….and what’s not so good.

Brewers rice is 2nd, far too much corn, by-products used, brewers yeast present.
