As Iams tells it, Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to fetch her portly dog a bag of Eukanuba Reduced Fat Formula pet food. The Iams Company makes Eukanuba and Iams premium-priced dog and cat foods (dry and canned) and sells them in pet supply stores and veterinarians' offices in 77 countries. The company also makes biscuits and the Eukanuba Veterinary Diets pet food line, which is specially formulated for pet health disorders. Founded by self-taught animal nutritionist Paul Iams in 1946, Iams also funds research efforts related to animal dermatology, geriatrics, allergies, and nutrition. Former chairman Clayton Mathile acquired the company in 1982 and sold it to consumer products giant Procter & Gamble in 1999.
