Our take on the Iams Proactive Health Optimal Weight Dry Dog Food

Iams Proactive Health Large Breed Senior Plus is a dry dog food for large breed dogs aged 9 and older. It uses chicken as the first ingredient and adds glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support, plus antioxidants for the immune system. Reviewers say picky senior dogs often accept it and report improved mobility, but some note the formula relies on corn and by-product meal and can cause digestive upset in sensitive dogs. It competes with senior formulas like Hill's Science Diet and Purina Pro Plan, offering joint support at a lower cost per pound.
