Consumer complaints about Nutro Pet Foods

JAVAHSMOM · 06-08-2008, 05:38 AM

We've been feeding Javah Nutro pet food since we got him back in February and I must say all is well with him thus far.

I used to feed oscar and ruthie Nutro Lamb and Rice and they LOVED it (I only stopped because they're both on low protein diets now) I've never heard anything bad about it.

oh really? i thought there was a recall not too long ago concerning nutro. dogs were dying mysteriously.

Dreamer74 · 06-08-2008, 02:41 PM

We have been feeding our Brittney spaniels Nutro Natural for almost two years now with great results, and our Yorkie buddy has been on Nutro Ultra Holistic puppy with no problems. However I had previously been told told to watch out for that company, so I was already looking for a different brand before all of this came out. So I placed an order at our local pet place and on Wednsday all the dogs are switching to Wellness. Here are some more posts about Nutro issues.

Nutro was recalled when all the other dogfood was recalled. I am not sure if it was only canned or dry that was recalled though. My friend used to feed it to her dogs and they started throwing up a lot. She switched and they are okay now. I think you take a risk with any kind of dogfood anymore!

My Goldens were doing excellent on it. I changed once last month because I wanted to be cheap. I will never do that again. My Miles had a seizure on the new food. We immediately switched them back to Neutro Natural weight management for Large Breed. I feed the Biewer NV Frozen Raw Chicken.

I have been feeding the Ultra for at least 2 years now and luv it... The only time I have had problem w/ diarhea is when I did the Eukanuba challenge... Won't ever be doing that again! My dogs luv the Ultra too...

I was feeding nutro natural lamb and rice small bites until I had a housewide outbreak of the runs. 6 weeks - 4 antibiotics - probiotics - countless butt washings later, I changed the food to innova and it mysteriously cleared up within 2 days. Not going to blame it on the Nutro.. but it's a bit ironic it instantly cleared up when nothing else fixed it but changing the food. I have fed ultra also, found it made my coats dry.

That is interesting that you found the ultra made the coat dry. I have had that problem with Buddys coat but never thought of tracing it back to his food. The other dogs are on the natural with no coat problems. They all switched to Wellness yesterday so now I am curious how much of a change I will see in his coat.

It surprises me that the Ultra would make your dogs coats drier as the Ultra is packed w/ oil in the forms of fish oil, flaxseed and sunflower oils. It also has the probiotics for digestive health... My dogs coats are shinier and healthier since I started the Ultra.. I sure hope that I don't ever have the problems that are being reported, but I will watch out for it...

Penny loves the Nutro Natural Choice blueberry treats. But that's the only Nutro she eats. Hope they are OK.
