warning nutro max - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thanks for the warning. One of mine has been (or both) has been throwing up a little the last few days. I was switching to Nutro Max so was only giving a little each day thank goodness. I just ordered some new food that's USDA approved on line. It should be here Wed. I really appreciate the warning. I'm horrified that I could have killed my dogs!

Please try not to worry I have only just found out too, Both mine were on Nutro Levi for 18 months & Teddy for 17 months.

Teddy has just started to get very sick. Levi has been fine. But they are both OFF Nutro now.

I hope your new food does the trick.

What are you going to get now ?

Is he better since he is off of it? Perhaps it was just the last batches? Good luck.

We have had all sorts of tests and medication from the vet, BEFORE I heard about the problems with NUTRO

We had 2 lots of 2 days without sickness in 5 weeks (so only 4 days) But that was with the help of medication.

I began to change his food before I knew about NUTRO he has been on his new food totally for 2 days today, and since he has been on the new food and no NUTRO we have NOT had any sickness.

He is not on any meds either.

I tend to agree with you. He got sick around the time we started the new bag of food.

I started both of my dogs on Nutro Natural small bites a couple of weeks ago. Should I pull them off of it right away? Neither has had any trouble but I don't want any to start either. I don't have a lot of options in this area can someone suggest something else to feed?

Also, what is the website for grading dog food? And is there a site that tells what foods have been recalled?

After hearing that this is a widespread problem and not just the food disagreeing with a few dogs, nobody could pay me enough to feed it.

How about Wellness, Canidae, Natural Balance?

Home cooking is the way to go. I started feeding mine home cooked and you can tell they have much more energy,Rocco has almost completely stoped throwing up. You can just tell they feel so much better!
They still get innova dry left out to nibble on though.

I don't have any of these available to me. Can someone provide me with the dog food grading site again.

Thanks.

They just had the BIGGEST BEEF for HUMAN CONSUMPTION recall in history a week or two ago... if we can't trust in our OWN food, we cannot ever trust in other types of foods!

This is sad! Both my dogs are on NutroMax mini chunk and do well on it. I do see occassional throw up, but nothing in their behavior has changed. I think Im going back to royal canin. They did good on that
