Frequently asked questions
Who makes Iams pet food?
Iams is manufactured by Mars Petcare.
Where is Iams made?
Iams pet food is made in US.
When was Iams founded?
Iams was founded in 1946.
Is Iams WSAVA-aligned?
Yes. Iams meets the World Small Animal Veterinary Association's manufacturer-vetting guidelines (on-staff veterinary nutritionists, AAFCO feeding trials, and published research).
Has Iams ever been recalled?
No Iams products match any FDA recall in our tracked feed. Two caveats worth stating plainly: our feed covers FDA recall notices from late 2025 onward, so a recall older than that would not appear here; and brand matching is deliberately conservative, so a recall naming a parent company or a co-manufacturer rather than Iams itself may not be linked. For a definitive answer, check the FDA's own recall database.
How does Iams score in our analysis?
Iams averages 73/100 across 60 products in our catalog. Individual product scores combine ingredient quality, AAFCO compliance, and controversial-additive severity. See the methodology page for the full algorithm.
