History
In 1969, Paul Iams wanted to find a name to differentiate the new formula from other Iams products. Iams chose to name this new formula "Eukanuba", a term derived from the jazz-era personality of Hoagy Carmichael, which means "peak" or "something supreme".

Manufacturing
When the Eukanuba plant in Leipsic, Ohio is owned by P & amp; G, it is the largest dog food factory P & amp; G. Metal detector is used to detect foreign objects that may fall. Bags are marked with numbers to indicate the day and time the food is made using the DD/MM/YYYY format, so the bag can be tracked in case of recall.
The ingredients in Eukanuba products contain animal and animal by-products, dried products from slaughterhouses. Most of the ingredients are from the United States, but a limited number of nutritional supplements are imported from countries such as China.
