Our read The ingredients
A real fiber blend with modest reach
Signature feature
Natural fiber & prebiotics
Tailored blend of natural fiber & prebiotics for healthy digestion.
What it is Dried plain beet pulp supplies fermentable fiber and sits eighth on the ingredient list. Fructooligosaccharides, a prebiotic in the kibble, sits 19th.
Our grade
- Marketing
- Modest
- Meaningful
Iams says this blend supports digestion, and fermentable fiber feeds gut bacteria. Fructooligosaccharides sits far down the list, so its added effect on stool quality is likely small.
Modest Real, but smaller than the pack makes it sound.
Three whole grains sit third through fifth, with brewers rice sixth. The lamb name fronts a grain-heavy kibble.
