String of Illnesses Afflicts NUTRO-Fed Pets

[aerialla]

So far I'm leaning toward Innova, its what I keep coming back to in my research so far. There are just too many on the market, it can get really confusing.

He doesnt seem very affected by it. Once he's burped, he's off playing again. Anyone else experienced this with the Nutro food particularly?

Itsy scarfs her Nutro too. Like a few minutes after I put the food down it's gone, and I feed her 3 times a day so she's not starving. She doesn't burp but she has been coughing and dry heaving. I took her to the vet today and she was diagnosed with tonsilitis. I have no idea how she would have gotten this?? But she is on an antibiotic now and I guess that's why she has been coughing and hacking. One thing I have noticed though is that, though her poos are solid, she seems to make a lot of them. It doesn't seem like a puppy should be having 3-5 bowel movements a day?? Not to mention the volume of the poo is, well, pretty impressive for such a small dog! It's like the food goes right through. But since I have backed off her Nutro Ultra and blended with another food, its seems she is pooing less.

Thanks for posting this. We've been feeding Nutro with good results. I've seen a couple of older articles but hadn't had any problems personally. But in reading this recent article after a new bag of food, we're seeing some things we don't like....

Coby has had some loose stools today and ocassionally in the past. Today Reggie has had two horrible reverse sneezing attacks. And hubby told me that Coby had a spell earlier today. And both my hubby and I noted that we can't keep their water bowls filled. None of these things along were alarming. But all of these things were mentioned in this article. The reverse sneezing could be just due to being outside for the first time this year, but the article referred to hacking, and that's how some people refer to reverse sneezing. And the water consumption is outrageous considering it's not hot yet. We just got a new bag last Friday, and these symptoms have definitely increased since that time.

So, we'll definitely be getting different food tomorrow.

Thanks - YT saves the day again.

Update: I returned the Nutro Ultra to Petsmart with No problems. They didn't really even ask why. I volunteered the info about the article.

I may return mine then too. I'll print out the article to take with us.

Oh no.

That doesn't sound good at all.
Increase water consumption and the fact that the recalled food last year was causing kidney failure...
