Nutro Food

[Pam]

I stopped feeding Nutro when it appeared on the list with the whole mess months ago. I have switched back to Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul and this time bought the light formula. This is the one food that I have found that is perfect for Ripley. I can't even remember the last time he gurked up bile. Plus it has the added benefit of less calories for Bella who has a really good appetite and a tendency to put on an extra pound if not watched.

I called my brother after viewing this thread because his dog eats Nutro Lamb and Rice. He will most likely be switching. All of this is so scary.

I wouldn't wait for a recall, either. I'm currently feeding Wellness CORE and I am very happy with the results. I was feeding Nature's Variety but wasn't liking it.

I may eventually switch back to Innova EVO Red Meat.

Wow this is scary. I have fed Nutro Max for years now and never had
a problem. I haven't tried the Natural Choice Nutro products. I would
be very disappointed if Nutro was careless with the ingredients & it
harmed animals. The Nutro Max stuff has always been consided a good
dog food.

Pam. I checked that list every time they added any new Brand name,
and never saw Nutro products listed for recall.

I never did switch dog or cat food because I never saw Pedigree ,
Purina or Nutro Max listed. All the animals seem fine to me.

Liz, Nutro's name was on the early (probably the first) list although the list never did specifiy which particular types of their food might be affected. To be safe, I stopped feeding Nutro altogether.

Oh wow, If I had seen that I would have been a nervous wreck.

My pups are doing so well on it & even get praised for their shiny coats.

We used to feed Nutro Max.. before Eli joined us. Then switched to Nutro Natural Choice. Bunny lost LOTS of weight on NC.. so we switched to Nature's Recipe Lamb and Rice. In the mean time also took Eli off the Purina Puppy Chow he was eating when we got him and put him on Nature's Recipe as well. He never did like the Nutro NC Puppy. They all seem to like Nature's Recipe.

I also wanted to switch them to a food not on the last recall list. And one without ByProducts... And and added bonus.. Nature's Recipe seems to go on sale a lot at Petsmart with PetPerks. Was 26.49 for 40lbs 2 weeks ago. Not sure where you get your food, but I know Petsmart will let you return opened bags of food. We did several times with the Nutro varieties.

If we were made of money... I'd feed Blue Buffalo. They REALLY liked the sample bag of it.. but $40+ for 30lbs.. too much for me with three big dogs. I like all the interesting varieties they offer.

I have not fed Nutro so I can't offer much perspective there. I *CAN* tell you that I've tried this food made in Canada called Orijen. I've only ever seen it sold at one place so I purchased a small trial bag. Spanky loved it and it really showed even after only just that bag. It (the food, shiny coat, etc) lasted several weeks!
