I give IAMS to my Chi. I noticed that it used "chicken by-product." Any harm in this ingredient?

No, there is nothing harmful about chicken by-products at all in dog food. This refers to ground up chicken carcasses once the muscle meat is removed, and includes bones and internal organs - these are parts of the bird that dogs would naturally eat, and are an important source of calcium and vitamins.
