Here is some of the recearch that IAMS sposered and some of the animal
cruelty.

Oh yea, before you read this make note of what IAMS states:

"We only conduct research with dogs and cats that is equivalent to
nutritional or medical studies acceptable on people. We are deeply
committed to dog and cat well being, and our research policy reflects
that commitment."


Ibriham, WH, Szabo, J, Sunvold, GD, et al, Effect of dietary protein
quality and fatty acid composition on plasma lipoprotein
concentrations and hepatic triglyceride fatty acid synthesis in obese
cats undergoing rapid weight loss, Amer J Vet Res 2000; 6(5):556-572.

Obese, these cats were then starved for 7 to 8 weeks on a diet
containing only 25% of the calories needed for maintenance, in order
to induce drastic weight loss. The rapid, extreme weight loss forced 3
of the cats to develop hepatic lipidosis, a devastating disease that
is difficult to treat and often fatal.


Bueno, Cappel, Sunvold, Reinhart, Clemen, "Feline Colonic Morphology
and Mucosal Tissue Energetics as Influenced via Sources of Dietary
Fiber," Nutrition Research, Vol. 20, 7:985-993 (2000)

In this study of fiber cats were subjected to surgeries that opened
their abdominal cavities and flushed out the contents of the
intestines. At the end of the experiment, all 28 cats used in the
study had the entire large intestine removed.

Hayek, M.G., Hypersensitivity reactions to dietary antigens in atopic
dogs. Proceedings of 2000 Iams Nutrition Symposium

14 newborn puppies were manipulated with injections to develop
allergens to various food ingredients. When the dogs were later placed
on diets containing the allergen, they lost weight, developed moderate
to severe diarrhea, hair loss and itching. Twice during the
experiment, the dogs had solutions of the allergy- causing ingredient
injected into the lining of the stomach while under anesthesia.


Crenshaw, Budde, Lauten, Lepine, Nutritional Effects on Bone Strength
in the Growing Canine, 1998 Iams Nutrition Symposium.

In this study sponsored by Iams 18 Great Danes were placed on diets
with varying amounts of calcium and phosphorus and were later killed
so that their bones could be removed and ****yzed.
