Hi all,

Does anyone know if this food is any good? I'm currently in the process of switching my 2 and 1/2 yr old Lab bitch from JWB to AG basically because of cost, but I have seen this Iams in tesco reduced from £30 (the price I am paying for AG) to £13. If the Iams natures wellness is just as good as the AG I will use that instead and buy a few bags in bulk while it is on offer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS here is the ingredients for each food if that helps:

Iams: IngredientsChicken (>24%), Maize, Wheat, Animal Fat, Poultry Meal, Barley, Dried Beet Pulp, Rice, Sorghum, Chicken Digest, Dried Whole Egg, Vegetable & Fruit Blend (>0.8% blend of Dried Apple Pomace, Dried Carrots, Dried Peas, Dried Spinach, Dried Tomato), Brewer's Dried Yeast, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, Fish Oil, Linseed, DL-Methionine, Calcium Carbonate

AG:Chicken Meal* (min 27%), Whole Grain Rice (min 26%), Whole Grain Maize, Chicken Fat*, Beet Pulp, Fresh Chicken (min 5%), Dried Brewers Yeast, Egg Powder, Fish Meal*, Linseed, Fish Oil*, Minerals, Vitamins, Nucleotides, Prebiotic FOS, Prebiotic MOS, Cranberry Extract, Chondroitin Sulphate, Glucosamine Sulphate, MSM, Yucca Extract. *Preserved with mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract.

All I know about this food is that the kibble is very very tiny,  like puppy food.  I had half a bag given to me and my labs choked on the bits because they were so small.  I passed it on to a shelter.

Does not look as good to me.

"Chicken" in the AIMS ingredient list is raw chicken, which is about 75% moisture and 25% dry matter (meat).   Chicken meal is chicken with most of the moisture removed, so it's about 90% meat.   So looking at nothing else but the single most dominant (and important) ingredient between the two IMO Arden Grange is a better choice.
