Question on IAMS & "less waste" puppy food

MidnightMu May 17, 2003 02:22 PM

I thought IAMS was supposed to be one of those canine foods that is supposed to have "less waste." But we've been feeding our 3 Yorkie pups IAMS puppy food, and let me tell you ... if this is "less waste" I'd hate to see MORE, LOL!

Any advice on a good puppy food that IS of the "less waste" variety? If not, any advice about IAMS in general or about a better puppy food for them?

My DH and I are gone for long hours during the day, so we free feed, and dry food is really the most appropriate.

Here's an earlier picture (about 2 months ago) of our 3 Yorkie pups - the male, BoBo, is at the lower right of the bed; younger Misty and Gypsy (who are sisters and not related to BoBo) are sharing the bed with him - Gypsy at the top and larger Misty at the lower right. We believe that BoBo and Gypsy will end up about the same size, around 4 1/2 lbs (the same size as my tiniest cat, BearBear), whereas Misty will probably end up around 6 lbs.

Personally, I tend to stay away from foods with "beet pulp" in them. Last time I looked Iams had it. It is a filler, but it is also sugar and too much sugar can cause problems.

I cook for mine, and therefore can better control what goes into them.

Here's another picture of the Yorkies, taken in late March when we first brought the girls home, as they took their first nap together.

BoBo (Mr. Bojangles) is on the left, Gypsy Dancer (who will probably end up the same size as BoBo) is at the top, and larger Misty Mornin is on the lower right.
