Iams isn’t that great, and their policies on animal testing is disgusting. I would go with Hills Science Diet, or Purina One. We also feed our cats Friskies canned food as well.
(I can’t reccomend Science Diet enough)
I can only answer from my experience and my experience is ‘yes’.
Wouldn’t you want your pet food tested on animals?
I mean if this is the only issue:
In 2002, a film by animal rights organizations PETA slated Iams for the way the company conducted animal research at external laboratories. Iams ended its relationship with the Sinclair Research Center in 2003, stating that the filmed activity was contrary to the company’s strict, long-standing animal studies policies.[16] Since 2006, studies are conducted in pet owners’ homes, P&G Pet Care’s Pet Health & Nutrition Center and locations where dogs and cats are already living such as assistance dog organizations. This center and studies are subjected to unannounced examinations by the ASPCA.[17]
I have only two things to say- if PETA :rolleyes:is against them, they can’t be very wrong; and they have apparently changed their ways anyway.
More or less y infallible guide for animal welfare is- whatever PETA is pushing, the best thing for the animal is the very opposite.
I order a fair amount from hare-today.com, they offer whole ground-up carcasses of various species, which is a balanced diet and saves me a lot of labor. I also source cheap ‘waste’ animal parts, and organs, from local butchers and farmers.
