VetUK now stocking Iams :-(

<< < (4/4)

Desley (booktigger):
I also wondered if that was why it constantly seems to be on offer Dawn - I was telling my neighbour I had stocked up on dry food at PAH and she asked if it was Iams, and got a very stern no!! Plus some explanation of why. Mind you, she thinks Whiskas dry is good.

Cheesecat:
I did think of you this morning Mark when I did a litter tray round and decided to put it all into an IAMS bag I was given at the supreme and it was all it is good for  ;)  (I didnt buy IAMS of course but the store I bought from had no other bags!)

A woman in PAH told me she uses IAMS today and I told her why I don't. I am a woman who likes a bargain but I didn't even want the free samples in PAH. I wonder if its on offer quite alot because people are becoming more aware?

It is a shame Vet UK now stock it  :(

emma_vn:
Rest assured it's not just Iams - Hills, Purina, RCW.. all the big companies conduct cruel and unnecessary testing on lab animals. Hills are massive culprits and stocked by most pet shops.

I feed Burns and Denes.

Mark:
I just received the latest email from VetUK

'We would also like to give a big Vet UK welcome to Iams Cat Diets"  >:(

I have emailed back expressing my disappointment that they have started to stock it with links to websites with info. I also said that as I avoid companies that sell it, please would they remove me from their mailing list.

I know that Tesco etc sell it but most vets have stopped. As they are supposed to be vets themselves, they should be aware of the issues.

Edit - I just got a reply from them (after 10 minutes!)

"Thank you for your email. We have been fully aware of Iam's testing
methods history. However, they have admitted to this and do not use
 this
testing methods any more. However, if you still wish, I shall un
subscribe you.
Kind Regards, Vet UK Customer Services"


Not sure what to think - any ideas?
