I'm not sure on how I stand regarding humane animal testing on dog foods, but since I buy medicines which have been tested on animals and buy washing powder etc, I don't feel I am in a position to say that people shouldn't buy a dog food that is tested on animals. It seems hypocritical to me that some woudl feel it is OK to test a medicine on animals, but not a soap powder or dog food. It is all for our own means in the end, so i don't personally see any difference.
Of course, all of those who object to Iams may well refuse medicines for themselves, their animals or their children, but I doubt it in the majority of cases.

Ideally I wouldn't use anything that has been tested on animals as I am dead set against it for ANY means. Anything that I know is tested on animals I don't use. I would like to see animal testing banned outright but that's just me. Realistically though I probably use 101 products that are tested on animals or produced by companies that test on animals.

I don't think any commercial dog food is good in all honesty but it's far from the worst.
