Review: IAMS Savory Sauce Country Style Chicken for Dogs Sauce for Dry Food

I live in a house with 10 other occupants, besides my mom, dad and brother. There names are Fifi, Beanie, Ren, LaLa, Peanut, Tybalt, Bubba, Bully, Flea, and Putt- Putt. Wait, I almost forgot about Tootsie. Opps, make that 11 dogs. (Pinn was right).
It's hard keeping count when there are that many pooches running around. However as large as that seems, most of these dogs are all so tiny you barely even know they're there. Except for when the 11 dwarfs start howling.
So out of the 11 dogs, there is bound to be a handful of spoiled rotten pooches that will show their teeth to you when you try to feed them dry food. Seeing how food prices can be costly, we don't go out of our way to make sure the picky eaters get what they want.
However when the price of our dog food went up, we went with something cheaper. The result was a handful of unhappy dogs. How were we going to get princess Fifi, and prima Donna Beanie to eat this new stuff?
Our solution so we thought would come with the purchase of IAMS Savory Sauce in Country Style Chicken flavor. Thats right, sauce! Sauce that is meant to be poured on top of dry food to add a juicy flavoring to the food.
The packaging looked nice enough that for a moment I truly thought this was made for humans. It comes in a bottle that resembles a BBQ sauce bottle. It had an easy click up cap. On the bottle was a picture of a piece of all white meat chicken breast with a cut in it. It looked delish!!! Of course with such nice looking packaging, we figured the dogs would go nuts for it.
The sauce itself we could see through the bottle in certain areas where there was no labeling sticker covering it. The sauce itself was a light brown and gray like color with particles of chicken floating throughout. It looked good!
At home we popped the top and took a sniff. Mmmm... yes, it smelled delicious, like chicken gravy. I was even wiling to give it a little lick to see how it was. I refrained from doing so of course.
We assumed that once the dogs got a sniff of it they'd be in heaven, and we'd be forced to buy a new bottle every week.
We poured a decent amount on top of their wet food, and watched as Fifi stepped up to the plate. She sniffed it and walked away. Peanut was next, and usually Peanut will eat anything. He is the only Chihuahua I've ever seen with cellulite.
Peanut stepped up, took a piece of dry food covered in the sauce out of the bowl, and placed it on the floor, and walked away. Ren, showed no interest at all. Putt-Putt putted up like a broken down car, took a sniff, and followed Fifi. It was a no go. Tybalt stepped up and took a few good hearty bites. She didn't seem to notice the sauce or dive in like we thought she would. She was never a picky eater though.
Lala stayed in her bed, she didn't even bother to get up to see what was going on. Flea stepped up to the bowl and took a few bites while waging her tail. She seems to eat new treats we get only to satisfy us. This dog actually nearly smiles to show her appreciation, but we could tell she just was not digging it. Next came Bully, our newest member. He will eat ANYTHING, and the sauce was to die for according to him. He plowed his big triangular face into the bowl and slurped up what was left. The other dogs didn't even get a turn. However I have a feeling, like the majority, they wouldn't even have gave it the time of day.
So, it seems that larger dogs seem to only prefer this type of treat. Tybalt the husky didn't seem to mind, and Bully the bull terrier was in heaven. I suppose some snacks are meant for the big boys.
Seeing how only 2 of our dogs seemed to be okay with IAMS sauce, we have no future plans to buy another bottle or any other flavors.
PRICING:
We found our IAMS savory sauce at Walmart for $2.99. It's a pretty decent deal compared to most treats on the market today.
OTHER FLAVORS:
Besides chicken, there is also beef, and bacon. They even have a formula specially made for puppies.
RECOMMENDATION:
Well for the cheap price its worth a try. Your dog may love it or hate it, you just never know until you try it.
My statistics came to 2 out of 11 dogs approved.
(Flea doesn't count, because she only ate it to make us happy, she never touched it again)
