Nutro - Natural choice dog food killed my mom's yorkie :( This has been an incredibly hard week for our entire family. On Monday my mom rushed her sweet little yorkie Mya to the vet. She had been vomiting and having a number of other issues that I won't go in to detail about. When she arrived to the vet, he told my mom everything would be ok...they just needed to get her fluids. At no time did the vet EVER ask my mom what she was feeding Mya or her other 2 yorkies at home. She got a call at 4:00 pm, that Mya had passed away. After speaking to other people and other vets, we have found that it was her dog food that killed her. And her other two yorkies are slowly declining in health. So please check what you are feeding your dogs, if it's anything made by Nutro - Natural Choice. Please throw it away and have your pet checked by your vet. Here is a link to consumer affairs, it shows several other people have lost pets in recent weeks from this dog food. We HAVE to get the word out!! Consumer complaints about Nutro Pet Foods |
Im very sorry to hear about your moms loss. I hope her other two yorkies will be okay!:thumbup: |
i'm so sorry to hear about your mom's yorkie |
i'm so sorry. May Mya rest in peace |
I'm sorry to hear about your mom's dog. I had no idea, thanks for the link. My Retriever is on Natural choice, I was shocked to hear this. I'll be taking her off it as of now. |
Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry for you, your Mom and your family for the loss of Mya. What is the prognosis for the other babies? Did the vet say specifically what caused Mya to pass? I am just so very sorry. :( |
So sorry :( |
I'm so sorry :( |
oh this is just horriable! I am sorry for your mom's loss I hope the other 2 will be ok |
pet food OMG.... just who can you trust anymore!! I thankfully am using wellness but who is to say this is not just as bad. I am so sorry to hear of your loss for your Mom ... This whole affair really sucks! I agree that maybe the directors right down to the processing staff should have to taste test the products they sell us as good food.... Maybe a little diarreah (sp) and vomiting ... or maybe a couple of deaths would make them rethink their changes! Sorry just had to vent after reading some of the article from consumer reports.:(:mad::thumbdown |
I am sorry about your mom's dog... It makes me worry that you can't trust any dog food, like deja vu of the recalls. |
I'm so sorry for your loss :( I read through some of the complaints...how awful! Thank You for sharing w/ us. |
I'm so terribly sorry to hear this. I will definately send prayer for your mom and all family members. As for dog foods...........NONE are safe and those feeding dog food of anykind are only playing Russian Roulette with their fur-babies lives. It seems some of the little babies have to give their lives in order to save others. How heartbreaking!!! Hugs and prayers! |
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom's precious Mya. And, I'll be praying the other two make a full recovery. Nutro has had more problems than most of the other pet foods. Even after last year's recall when the others seemed to clean up their act - Nutro continued to have problems and is hesitant to take responsibility for the death of innocent pets. |
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We are a family of yorkie lovers I have 2 my mom has 2 now. I felt so much heartbreak for my mom and her loss, so I did some searches here on yt and we are going to OH on Sunday to look at a 3 month old yorkie. Hopefully she will be a good match. No one will never replace Mya, but everyday that passes that my mom doesn't have her little girl at her feet is a constant reminder of her tremendous loss. Both of her boys are older and are very independent, Mya was only 2 years old. She loved everyone and was so full of life! I miss her so much! Both my mom and I are educated ourselves on home cooking for our doggies...it's the only thing we can trust in this day and age. Thank you again for all the support and prayers. |
1 Attachment(s) Here is a sweet picture of Mya & Ollie the night before Mya passed. (Mya is the one in the blanket.) |
i am so sorry to hear about your mom's loss...and i sure hope the other 2 will be ok...sending hugs and prayers your way! |
They are both just beautiful!! Mya is adorable wrapped up in that blanket. That picture brought tears to my eyes just thinking about how unnecessary her death was...Those stupid dog food companies... :( |
aw, i'm SO sorry for your loss!!! thank you so much for spreading the word tho! that's what i feed MY babies!!! nutro natural choice lamb and rice dry dog food small bites :( |
My heart is breaking for little Mya and your family. What a terrible loss of a beautiful little one. How senseless that our furbabies are basically being poisoned to death. Thanks for getting the word out. Hopefully, Mya's passing will at least help save other little ones. Nutro should be held accountable for the suffering they are causing...so sad :( |
So very sorry for your family's loss of Mya. I hope your moms other 2 yorkies will be okay. This is scary...I used to feed Hot Rod this! and not too long ago! |

We have to get the word out to everyone. If Mya passing can save the life of other doggies, then she gave a bigger gift than we ever thought possible. |

I'm so sorry that Mya passed away. :( That is so sad. :( I hadn't heard about this until now, so Thank You for your thread. I e-mailed my sister about that dog food. I think that's what she feeds her dog. Prayers going out to your family. :hands: Rest In Peace, dear Mya. :angelyork |
Sheesh!!! I feed my dogs this. Ace (our Lab) gets the Large Breed dog food and Chloe gets the Small Bites Chicken, Rice & Oatmeal. I have never had any problems with them except Chloe doesnt really like her food. I noticed that all the complaints delt with Lamb & Rice, so maybe its something to do with that... |
Im so sorry for your loss. This breaks my heart. I hope the other babies are ok. |

Here is the real kicker...as of 9/24 the vet still has not asked my mom what type of food she was feeding Mya, or what she is feeding her other doggies. Unbelievable!!!! We have talked to other vets and people that went through this with their dogs last year, and in recent months. It all fits EXACT to what Mya went through. The eye irritation, not wanting to eat, not playing as much, towards the end she was vomiting and had bloody diarrhea. What's even more sad, if you look back at my post from a few months ago when my little Chloe was sick, I was told by a mb member Ellie Mae to get chloe off the Nutro canned food ASAP. Which I did immediately. When I went to the vet, they were not sure what made her sick. Now I know exactly what it was....the FOOD! I wish I knew this then, maybe I could have prevented all of this. (And no, my mom and I do not go to the same vet office.) So we have two vets that were not educated enough about problems with dog foods. As soon as my mom get the tissue tests back on Mya I will post all the details of the findings. |
I am so terribly sorry for the loss of little Mya. That sweet picture made me cry. I will tell everyone that I know about this ... my daughter works for a vet and I will e-mail her right away! Thank you so much and please convey our condolences to your Mom. I pray that the others will be OK. |
Mya rest in peace |
