Pet Problems?...funny!!
The Iams Pet Professionals, a team of 30 trained customer service
representatives at The Iams Company, handle more than 300,000
inquiries a year from pet owners across the country. Although the
majority of calls to the toll-free number are straightforward pet care
and nutrition questions, some can be quite unconventional. Here are
some of the team's favorite calls this year:

owners."
