I know this is an old thread, but I felt compelled to point out some incorrect information.....the first post states that Iams recommends feeding 4 cups of food to a 25 lb dog, and this is simply untrue. The feeding instructions for the origional formula on the website recommend feeding 1-1 1/4 cups for a 20 lb dog, and 1 1/4-1 3/4 for a 30 lb dog.

I have tried many dog foods and it is an absolute myth that you feed less of "premium foods". It has to be looked at on a food by food basis. Something like EVO is very high in calories and you will probably feed less, but I feed less of Purina One than I did of both Canidae and Natural Balance. Every time I hear "You save money by feeding less" it drives me crazy. Maybe you will on some foods, maybe not.

Another incorrect assertation in this article is that the first ingredient in Science Diet is corn. Nope, in the origional formula it's chicken, and in the lamb and rice, it's lamb meal.

When you lie about other dog foods that happen to be on your "bad list" to make your case appear stronger, you loose credibility, at least with anyone who bothers to do their own research.
