Nutro pet food warning!

[catnapper]

Oh good god..... Nicki was vomiting all morning yesterday and died last night. Callie vomited this afternoon too (but not like Nicki did) and guess what they were eating????

I gotta go get another bag of food tonight

This is horrible. I used to feed all of my cats the Nutro Complete formula a long time ago before Storm started having urinary tract issues. I also seem to remember that a few PT'ers were commenting on how their cats seemed to be throwing up more or acting sick while on Nutro so they were going to change foods.

Kim, I sure hope that the Nutro didn't cause Nicki's death. I also hope that Callie will be okay. I'd take the food back to the store where you bought it and complain and get my money back. You might also want to save some of it so it can be tested.

Now I feed all of my cats Innova Evo which is almost like feeding them a raw diet. I sure hope that more animals won't die from this food.

Kim,
I'd save the bag the food came in from Nutro. It will have lot numbers etc.
So sorry to read about Nicki.

This CA article seems to be a rehash of an older article from last April.

The bag is long gone and I went to see how much was left in the storage tub..... maybe 2 cups worth of food, so they ate it all. What scares me is the listing of Pennsylvania and NEw Jersey dogs getting sick. It IS possible I have a bad lot too just because I'm in that region.

I have a bag of Eukanuba to replace the Nutro (didn't realize I HAD a different food because was prepared to take a 40 pound bag of un-opened Nutro back to the store tonight.) and I'm SO GLAD I didn't realize I had different food because then I'd have to throw out a ton of Eukanuba too because it would have been mixed.... thats what you get when you ask the hubby to pick up dog food - you get the wrong food which turns out to be a good thing.

Callie seems just fine. I did a bad job of trimming the fur on her legs and she's zooming around the house like a nut right now. She had oodles of treats in the process so I'll keep an eye to see if they come back up. She very well might have a hundred hairballs in her tonight because she ate half the fur I clipped off.

Drats catnapper, I am so sorry you lost Nicki! What a shame! (Wish I had found that sooner, it might have saved your baby.)

I think ANY food in question should be pulled from the shelves immediately until it is proven it is safe. They do not know what they are looking for in the Nutro so they can not test for it. They just need to test every ingredient they use to make it for any unknown substance that is not suppose to be there... More ingredients from China maybe? Who knows.
