It's a brand of food, go to your smaller Pet Food stores. It's wierd because even I thought well hmmmmm if you need dog food go to the big stores like Petco or Petsmart, but no offense to anybody but it's like buying an engagement ring from Walmart. The bigger stores just don't carry the quality that these smaller feed stores have. It's not that Iams is such a bad food (even though IMO it is) but there is just better out there and if you truly care about you pup and want the best for him there is better out there. Chicken soup is good, as well as the other mentioned above. I was feeding my pup Nutro Ultra, when I got her she was eating science diet, I switched her to Ultra and just last week I switched her to Canidae. After the Canidae I think I'm gonna cycle in a bag of the Innova EVO, then back to Canidae or I might try chicken soup or some of that Timber stuff. Also I heard Canidae was coming out with a fish flavored food. Anyways follow the labels advice on feeding, and judge your feeding using label guidelines, how they poop, and the old favorite their waistline. I got my pup from a rescue league and she weighed 43 lbs at 10 months, she is now 12 months and weighs 52. Like I said I startewd my dog on Nutro Ultra Puppy food, she did really well and I only switched her to Canidae because my research showed it was better. One thing that I think is important is to either wet the food a little or like most of us you'll find their once cute gas very offending put a scoop of yougart in with their meal they love it and it will soften it up and make it harder for them to suck down. My dog was eating so fast she would get the hiccups every time now she never gets them and she loves the yougart plus its cut down her emissions by 50% and the smell by 95%. Anyways you're doing a wonderful thing adopting good luck.
