Providing food and other necessities for pets has become a huge business. There are now hundreds of firms that sell pet foods and perhaps partly thanks to the fresh controversies surrounding their productions Iams pet food is among the better known in the industry. Iams pet food comes with a variety that caters to a wide variety of pets.
According to Iams, their Iams pet food products are created in a perfectly ethical manner and the animals they own are looked after in a very loving and caring manner. Iams also has an employee pet adoption scheme and claims more than 85% of pets used by the firm were assumed by the employees. The quality of Iams pet food is something that is plausible and the company runs its own nutrition centre. The latter keeps Iams pet food out of controversy as they project a good image to the outside society.
Nonetheless the critics of Iams pet foods paint a completely contrasting and rather disturbing picture of the products of the firm. The common accusations for Iams pet food company is that they carry out unethical food testing and experiments on animals plus their company owned animals are not properly taken care of. The envision they give of Iams pet food is indeed a very harsh one.
The critics have gone up to the extent of voicing their thought by carrying bill boards urging the public not to buy Iams pet food. Whether or not the allegations are true remains a matter of dispute but due to the intense pressure Iams pet food announced that the company would be doing all laboratory testing within its own premises. The PETA claims that the pressure exerted on Iams pet food has improved conditions though for them it is still far from satisfactory.
It s highly unlikely that all reports of Iams cruel practices like flushing living kittens down drains etc. could be true. Notwithstanding there may be galore basis in the allegations and it is also remote that Iams pet food is developed under perfect terms. Still public participation in campaigning for animal rights and against animal cruelty could bring about a lot of pressure as shown by this instance and this would be very good news to all those little dogs and kittens out there.
