I signed up for a sample bag of Iams Healthy Naturals Dry Dog Food at Wal-Mart.com. At the time, I had no idea that this small sample bag would end up changing what we fed our dog. Our dog is quite picky when it comes to his food and I honestly didn't think that he would eat something that was actually...

My two dogs will eat this but it is not their favorite.  They will only nibble but not engulf.  I have seen this food literally sit in the bowl for two days or more.  My dogs are not starving but I want them happy about eating their food.

My  2 dogs started eating Iams Healthy Naturals about a month ago and I am really impressed with the nice results so far.  They were eating a high end food and my male began chewing and biting his legs and paws and the female had chronic loose stools. I knew this food was really not agreeing with either one but I really wanted the best diet possible for them and somehow I associated highest price=best food.  Was I wrong!   Out of frustration I picked up a bag of the Healthy Naturals and began transitioning them from the old food to the Iams, increasing the Iams every day until they were...

I bought this because my vet recommended it. My  dog patches loved it. It costs a little more, but it makes her coat very shiny and soft. She loves the flavor and the size of the pieces. I like knowing I am giving her something that is vet recommended. I know I am giving her an all natural and healthy dog food from a name I can trust. She is like a family member to us so I can feel good about feeding her this food.

Not only will your dogs love this - you  will too! 

I found quite a decrease in stools while feeding this product.  ALSO, the smell of the stool was much easier on the senses, something we can ALL benefit from!

The dogs loved it.  It was just the right size for my girls.  Neither one had any problem with the size of the morsels.  Both bowls were cleaned up almost as fast as I put them down!  

With this food I also found that I could add a little warm water to it and make a nice wet food as a special treat.  I was able to mix their vitamins supplement in the wet meal and they never knew...

My 6 year old lab starting have uncontrollable diarrhea in the living room at night and it continued over the next few days. About to bring her to the vet, I pondered what could have poisoned her? My 15 year old lab seemed to have gas but be generally alright. The 6 year old who has always loved dinner time, would only walk up to her bowl and turn her head away. I realized that as I had transitioned their food to the iams healthy natural, the sicker she was getting. After a few days, even the older male was starting to have intense gas and diarrhea... Since switched to a locally made (expensive)...

I have a year old Cane Corso who is a very active dog. He was originally on Iams Large Breed which he loved and did well on. I purchased the Iams Healthy Naturals because it had antioxidants added and I figured he would like it because the formula seemed pretty similar to the Large Breed. Well he hated it. His bowl sat full for nearly three days and he would just pick at the food when he got hungry. I went out today and bought a bag of his original food and he wolfed it down like he hadn't eaten in months. I'm going to donate the Healthy Naturals to the shelter, it just doesn't work for us.

I hate to say this but I am really disappointed with this Natural formula dog food!  I am writing Iams now to see if they offer a refund.  My dogs both absolutely hate it!  They aren't the table scraps type either, they're just not eating as near as much.  When I get off work they still have their breakfast in their bowls.  Also my Lab's coat isn't looking as shiny as with the other Iams' foods.

This product was really good. I say that because my doggie at all his food. Normally,she sniffs around before she eats. But when I pour this she came running. She at it all. I am not a really good fan of Iams but this dry dog food is really excellent and good for my doggie. She really loved it and enjoyed it.

My standard poodles love Iams Healthy Naturals.  When we got them, they were eating another brand and weren't all that healthy.  But now their coats shine, there gums and tongues are extremely healthy, and they are just happy dogs.

I am sorry, I can't in good conscience recommend this food to anyone.. My dogs did not like it at all. I had to try everything to get them to try and eat it. The couple that did, had horrible diarrhea.. Very quickly their coat showed signs of malnutrition, drying, and flakiness.. They didn't have the same energy, or attention span.. I didn't even finish the bag.. I don't think this food has proper nutrition for active large dogs.. It might be fine for tiny breeds that don't do much, or don't expend much energy. But I think this food has no real nutritional value. Maybe cardboard with flavouring... review »

I am in the third week of a food trial with my dog and this product. I own a schnauzer and she is allergic to every thing. I have tried other Iam's products with her in the past and found her to get up set stomach and loose stools. So far her pink skin from her allergies is subsiding and she seems to love the taste. I am really hoping that this is a food we can stick with. I will update this if we have any problems, but at this time we are happy. This is cheaper than the food from the vet. I have used purina products in the past that almost killed her. So if any one out there has any other experiences... review »

My lab instantly, 2 hours or less, cleaned out his colon on my living room floor, so I'm not so  impressed.
