2000 » In a 2-hour operation, the stomachs of 28 cats are laid open to let experimenters observe reactions to fiber ingestion. All cats are killed. Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln and Iams Company: Feline colonic microbes and fatty acid transport: effects of feeding cellulose, beet pulp and pectin/gum arabic fibers. Nutrition Research, Vol 20, No.9, pp. 1319-1328 (2000). AR Bueno, GD Sunvold (Iams), GA Reinhart (Iams) et al.²² Summary ⮕ Short-hair female cats, ages 2-5, are divided into sets of 2 or 3, caged indoors, and fed various diets for 2-3 weeks. One cat is discarded for “a unthrifty appearance.” Animals anesthetized for the “colonic perfusion study” are positioned on their sides to split open their abdomens. A catheter is installed in their colons. A tube is also forced inside each animal's rectum. After their bowels are flushed, a test solution is pumped through empty bowels and collected every 10 minutes over 2 hours. In the next phase, sections of the caecum and colon are extracted. The paper does not indicate whether cats are killed before, during or after this phase.

“In another experiment, the stomachs of 28 cats were exposed so scientists could analyse the effects of feeding them fibre. The animals were operated on for at least 2 hours and then killed.” UK Sunday Express report on Iams cat-dog experimentation

• May 2000: 24 female cats are sterilized and over-fed until clinically obese, followed by drastic food-reduction to imitate “rapid weight loss in cats.” Three liver biopsies are performed on the cats during testing.

  Summary ⮕ 24 female cats, ages 2-5, are purchased from a commercial dealer and confined separately. Each cat is “ovariohysterectomized” and fed a “high quality energy dense diet” (Iams Eukanuba) until all are clinically obese at 80 days. Experimenters comment: “Obese cats are at greater risk for development of osteoarthritis, ligament injuries, perineal dermatitis (inflammation of skin near genitals), diabetes mellitus, lower urinary tract disease, and cardiomyopathy (heart disease). Mortality risk is also increased.” After the obesity phase, cats undergo a 7-8 week crash diet, consuming 25% of their “energy requirements” until they lose “30 to 40% of their obese body weight.” During this stage, 2 cats are unable to ingest even a quarter of their nutritional requirements. Experimenters admit: “Safe, rapid weight loss in cats can be difficult, because cats…are more susceptible than other species to HL (hepatic lipidosis).” 3 cats progress to HL impaired liver function. All cats endure invasive liver biopsies. UK Express report: “The research team sterilised 24 female cats, which were over-fed until they become obese. They were then starved on a crash diet and when they had lost a third of their weight their livers were examined to investigate the link between weight loss and liver disease.”

In their lifelong tenure as test subjects, animals are constantly needle-jabbed for blood draws. They're crated and caged in sterile lab environs. Some never feel grass beneath their paws or sunlight on their backs. Beagles, the most commonly bred dogs for experimentation, are scent hounds denied their natural instinct to chase unseen smells in air and ground. The lucky few find eventual refuge with groups like Beagle Freedom Project, a nonprofit charity that rescues animals used for research.

• 2000: Newborn husky puppies are injected with live virus vaccines and allergens to elicit chronic allergic response. 14 pups suffer illness and allergies. University of Calgary and The Iams Company: Hypersensitivity Reactions to Dietary Antigens in Atopic Dogs. Proceedings of the 2000 Iams Nutrition Symposium: 69-77. Merle E Olson, Michael G Hayek (Iams) et al.²⁴
  
  Summary ⮕ 11 “Crossbred sled” newborn puppies are injected with a cocktail of attenuated live virus vaccines — distemper, hepatitis and parvovirus — 10 times over the first 85 days of life. Food antigens are also administered subcutaneously. 3 more non-sensitised dogs undergo the same procedures. Skin tests are conducted at 6 and 10 months of age [no reference to anesthesia]. Food allergens (soy, casein, chicken liver) are injected “intradermally” at 4 potency levels. Low-strength doses generally provoke a skin reaction. High magnitude injections are 100,000 times stronger than lowest concentration injections (0.02 micrograms vs 2000 micrograms). Some high-concentration injections trigger welts similar to large hives. Allergens are also injected into each puppy's stomach lining to probe gastroscopic food sensitivity. The higher strength inoculations prompt expansion of blood capillaries (erythema and oedema), resulting in moderate to severe inflammation with fluid-filled bulges and redness. Skin and stomach results are monitored for a month, while puppies consume allergic diets. Experimenters record: “[All 11 puppies] develop moderate to severe diarrhea and lose weight. Furthermore 8 of the 11 sensitised dogs demonstrate dermatological reactions that include hair loss and pruritis [eczema-like itching]… Moderate to severe pruritis, with and without lesions, is also observed.” UK Express report: “Iams sponsored research in which 14 husky puppies were repeatedly injected with live vaccines and allergy causing proteins for the first 12 weeks of their lives. They developed permanent illnesses in the test, which was designed to see how severely allergic they'd become.”

5/6/14: Beagle Freedom Project rescues beagles from a Nevada laboratory. Until this moment, none of the dogs have known gentle touch, love or safety. None have felt soft ground beneath their paws, played or run with abandon… Until now.

Kelly M Credille, GA Reinhart (Iams), GM Davenport (Iams) et al.²⁵ Summary ⮕ Under local anesthetic, 6mm portions of skin are biopsied from 12 Siberian Huskies, 12 Miniature Poodles, and 12 Labrador Retrievers every 3 weeks for 18 weeks. Each dog sustains 12 body wounds. Experimenters acknowledge: “Overall, there is little to distinguish the dogs fed the high and low quality diets.” A UK Express story states: “12 huskies, 12 poodles and 12 labradors were regularly given chest wounds to see if diet could affect fur regrowth. This was justified on the grounds that ‘dogs are enjoyable to touch and look at. Dogs with coat problems are simply not handled as much.’”

2002 – 2003 » Nov 2002 - Oct 2005: Iams funds Univ of Mississippi Medical Center's Dr. Roger B. Johnson to invoke gingivitis in 21 beagles. Dogs’ gums are cut and sutured to mimic this painful stage of periodontal disease in another Iams study.²⁷

• Jan 2002: “I received a letter from a student at the University of Illinois, asking if I could make some suggestions as to what they could do about 9 dogs [who] were housed in a windowless lab at the university. These dogs had cannulas (tubes) surgically implanted in their sides so that samples of digested food could be taken. The studies included feeding the dogs raw and rendered animal by-products including ‘poultry necks and backs and viscera, and ground-up poultry feathers.’ Until 2002, this research was funded by the Iams company, but now is funded by the soybean industry and US Department of Agriculture.”²⁸


• Nov-Dec 2003: To analyze how immune response varies in accordance with age, 36 young and old dogs are injected with beta-carotene, for tests about “whether beta-carotene is able to reverse age-associated decline. Young and old dogs (n = 36) were fed either a control diet or experimental diets containing supplemental beta-carotene for 2-month periods… beta-carotene improved these responses, mostly within 24-48 hours after injection. In summary, older dogs have lower immunological responses compared with younger controls.” Research and Development, The Iams Company, Lewisburg, OH: Effects of age and dietary beta-carotene on immunological variables in dogs.

2004 » Iams Doublespeak: In a 2004 shareholder proxy statement, Procter & Gamble claims, “Iams must use controlled kennel or cattery nutritional studies to confirm a significant new health benefit and its safety for dogs or cats… [To] end all kennel or cattery feeding studies would impede efforts to enhance the well-being of dogs and cats.” Really? Back in 2001, Diane Hirakawa, senior vice president, Iams Research & Development, states unequivocally: “The lesson learned here is that kennel studies are not an appropriate way to test feeding guidelines because most kennels represent a high-stress environment.” Ding ding ding. Diane has the correct answer. Truth About Pet Food explains in Pet Food Animal Testing: “Almost all feeding trials are performed at laboratory kennels. Cats and dogs are specifically bred to be test subjects. Most never have a home or see daylight. Cats and dogs are born, raised and die within lab settings.”

2005 – 2006 » 5/1/04 to 6/30/06: Iams Company awards Purdue University $195,140 to study “Influence of N-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) on Musculoskeletal Atrophy During Unloading.”³² Researchers Dr. Bruce Watkins and Dr. Kevin Hannon apply “a piece of surgical tape to the tail [of mice] to hoist their rear limbs off the floor.” Mice undergo 7 days of hind-limb muscle atrophy. After they lose use of their back legs, all mice are killed. This study ends after public blowback. Cardiac puncture is a routine way to draw blood from lab mice. Mice are partly euthanized pre-puncture. They're confined in carbon dioxide chambers until breathing stops but heartbeat and blood flow continue.³³ Mice, the go-to model for disease and injury, have proven over decades to supply inaccurate data. Discrepancies between species — genetic, metabolic, anatomic, physiological, psychological — render mice largely useless when findings are intended for humans or other animals.³⁴ 2005: Iams funds Dr. Larry Arlian, at Wright State University, to replicate Tyrophagus putrescentiae (TP, the most common stored-product mite) in rabbits. USDA has previously cited Dr. Arlian in 7/12/93 charges that WSU violates Animal Welfare Act rules.

2008 » 8/28/08 Washington, DC (RushPRNews): USDA releases a complaint against Sinclair Research Center for “a lack of good faith.” The complaint cites 2002-2005 violations at the contract animal research lab, including failure to: Give pain relief to sheep in painful experiments; Use trained personnel to perform animal experiments; Provide veterinary care; Properly ventilate cat-dog housing; Maintain facilities in good repair, resulting in animal injuries; Offer animals space to move… A PETA investigation at the Missouri-based lab, then under contract with Iams, reveals dogs traumatized in empty metal cages and concrete cells. Dogs are seen heaped on a dirty, paint-chipped floor after slabs of muscle have been excised from their thighs. Gravely sick cats and dogs wither in cages. Iams reps who visit the lab see overheated dogs pace in outdoor cages, but do nothing. A USDA inspection, in response to PETA's complaint, cites Sinclair for more than 40 violations of the Animal Welfare Act. The lab pays $33,000 in penalties.³⁵

Iams claims 70% of animal subjects now live in volunteer homes for food/nutrition trials. Guardians feed their animals and collect fecal-urine samples for analysis. Other animal-testing pet brands make similar promises: No suffering or euthanasia. True, if animals are observed in family homes. False, for those still used in laboratories. In labs, animals exist in perpetual distress from handling, confinement, noise, isolation, pain, fear… Stress hormones influence data and can lead experimenters down false pathways.³⁶ In-home testing, however, has a proven success rate for “humane animal food/product testing,” PetSci program, Dr. Charles Abramson and Dr. Timothy Bowser.³⁷

2009 » PETA (along with Kinship Circle and many animal groups) keeps the heat on Iams in protest campaigns against brutal animal experiments. Iams parts ways with Sinclair Research Center, the contract lab cited for egregious animal welfare violations. Iams, evasive about animal usage, won't grant PETA access to their facility. On paper, Iams consents to stop invasive and lethal experiments on cats and dogs, plus initiate in-home palatability tests. Why does Iams resort to lab tests for at least 30% of its data? Iams says some data is too complex to extrapolate from home tests. PETA learns that Iams “still keeps as many as 700 dogs locked up in its laboratories for feeding trials and nutritional studies.”³⁸

2014 – 2015 » 2014: Iams owner Procter & Gamble issues its perennial promise for reductions in animal testing, as better informed consumers demand cruelty-free pet care products.³⁹ While P&G does delete some animal models, and to its credit has devised more than 50 non-animal methodologies with a $400 million investment in development and validation of animal-free research — by 2023 the company has yet to make animal tests obsolete. Apr 2014: Procter & Gamble gets out of the pet food biz. In a sweeping divestiture that nets P&G $2.9 billion, the company sheds its worldwide pet care labels. P&G explains the deal as a way “to lose a slow performer and generate cash to grow core businesses.“⁴⁰ Amid lagging sales, recalls and scrutiny over animal testing, P&G sells off its Pet Care operations in North America, Latin America, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa to Mars, Inc. Its European lines are sold to Spectrum Brands.⁴¹

2023 – Present » Iams says any testing is done internally, so it can monitor protocols. Owned by Procter & Gamble till 2014, Iams (and most pet care lines that test on animals) remains vague about invasivity of lab trials. By 2023, P&G itself is not cruelty-free. Animal tests are conducted in-house or via suppliers and third parties.⁵⁰ P&G states: “We believe that eliminating animal testing is the right thing to do. We do not test our products or ingredients on animals anywhere in the world unless required by law. We are working hard to make it obsolete.” While this may assuage some consumers, many brands make the same items in P&G's vast portfolio — hair-skin-cosmetics, feminine hygiene, dental health, baby care, household cleaners, detergents, health — with zero animal tests. Mars, Inc. owns Iams, Eukanuba and Natura brands. The company does animal experiments that “must not inflict suffering, harm or result in euthanasia.”⁵¹ Mars claims that “development of our products and services” does not involve “studies that harm animals.” But animal experimentation, by definition, must harm animals to disrupt their biological function and behavior. Only then can animal tests fulfill the primary goals of scientific method: description, prediction, explanation, control.

1 NOPE, NOT CRUELTY-FREE. No pet food (or any product) requires animal experimentation to prove its safety and efficacy. In fact, strides in research technology let scientists hone in on the species studied (human, dog, cat, pig, chicken…) for more predictive and valid data. Cognitive Computing, Genomics and Bioinformatics, DNA Chips, Microfluidics Chips, Computer Modeling… are among evolving methodologies that can replace old-fashioned animal experiments. For laboratory feeding trials, animals are isolated in metal/concrete enclosures. Dogs and cats don't feel sunlight and grass or live as companions inside a home. Labs can be noisy and chaotic. During its Iams probe, PETA encounters a dog dead in his cage, bleeding from the mouth. A teeny kitten is “accidentally” washed down a drain. If used in toxicity testing, animals are poisoned by mouth or gastric gavage (stomach tubing). Substances may be injected into a blood vessel, across skin, muscle, the eye or brain. Some toxins are delivered into lungs via forced inhalation.⁵² For surgical experiments, kidneys, muscle, skin or other organs, are partially amputated or inflamed to mimic disease and wounding in animals.

• Before you buy: Ask If Your Food Was Tested On Lab Kennel Animals

2 YES, CRUELTY-FREE! What has changed since PETA and Uncaged sunlit Iams animal experiments — opening the door to question all Big Kibble about laboratory testing? For starters, pet food companies want to make lots of money. They market to consumers who view companion animals as family members. It's a bad look to test on the lab-version of those same dogs and cats. No business wants an internet call to boycott its products. For pet food testing, U.S. regulatory agency AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Organization) requires nutritional analysis and live-animal “feeding trials.” How and where those trials occur determines if they're cruel or humane. Nutritional content can be studied through chemical analysis and in-home feeding assessment. Trials done in family homes do not involve animal testing. Company staff sometimes volunteer their animals, who must be healthy, at least 1-year old, and consume the trial diet for a minimum 26 weeks. Pets are weighed daily, with no other lifestyle changes, and home testers can opt out. Pet food companies may also ally with veterinary hospitals for voluntary studies with animals who have preexisting conditions.
