| Nutro Dog Food? Well we are FINALLY almost done with the free bag of dog food the breeder gave us and I'm excited as I wasn't. A huge fan of the brand we got but ah well! We just went to the pet supply sore and the nutritionist there recommended switching Cody to Nutro, so we bought the puppy formula and I'll be trying it out tonight! Just wanted to know some experiences with this brand of any of you have any. I know it will be a much bigger step up than the old brand. |

| Have you googled the Nutro brand of dog food? It's caused many serious illnesses and even deaths in dogs and cats.

| Either of those would be MUCH better choices. Orijen is an excellent food.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll probably get Taste of the Wild as they had that in the store as well along with Wellness and Canidae. | |

| We tried Nutro too after Holly finished her original dog food and it made her sick. We had to take her to the vet for some meds, because it really screwed up her digestive system. I could literally hear her stomach churning and gurgling when she was earing Nutro. |

| Yup -- I heard sooo many bad stories about Nutro. Just google Nutro Consumer Affairs. I fed it for about a week and then stopped. Nothing bad happened to us but it wasn't worth the risk

| I had Roxie on Nutro for a few months, and it caused her to vomit...a lot. Once I switched her to Innova EVO the situation improved greatly.

| We had our cats on Nutro - right before all of the dog illness occurred. We switched everyone to Science Diet. And now our puppy is on Science Diet - it's what our vet recommends.

I had heard so many bad things about it here I didn't even consider it. After only a few seconds of conversation with me, I guess he could tell I had done my research b/c he left me alone. Good luck on your search for food. | |

I used TOTW, but switched due to it having ethoxyquin. You many want to read up on that before you decide on TOTW. There are several threads on YT about it. We are now using Blue Buffalo, and I do not work for them. | |
