Is Nutro Ultra okay? It is so scary with all these recalls on food. Has anyone heard anything bad about Nutro Ultra (all natural ingredients)? It has a Holistic formula? My dogs love it, but I want to make sure it is okay? I did have them on Royal Canin and heard a recall on that. I just feel so unsure what to feed these guys. Unfortuately for a few months I did mix some of the recalled moist food in their dry, but I don't think they got enough to be affected. I am taking them to the vet for some blood work next week. (After I get paid) I am willing to change their food again if I need to. |
I don't know but I took my kids off of Nutro and we are using Chicken Soup, they love it! |
For "total" peace of mind, I would home cook if I were you! |

I have been told Nutro Holistic is good. But I am not sure? How are things going with you? |
Because of the reports of dogs getting very sick from a Nutro product, I would not feed any of it. |
Ellie May Hi, I have seen the wet food recall of last year, and I have seen the posts you directed me to about the dry food and owners reporting sickess with the DRY fomula's. BUT there are no reports on the internet about Nutro DRY food and sickness in the UK. I have reported my problems to Nutro, and had a long chat with someone from Nutro UK today. There seems to be no press about anyone in the UK getting sick pets with the dry version. I admit it does concern me what I have read. BUT why hasn't anyone in the UK mentioned similar to those in the USA I seem to be the only one in the UK who has expressed concerns to NUTRO surely if the dry was that bad, there would be much more comments about it here in the UK ....... I am so :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: |
I see this is an old post..but, I have had mine on nutro natural for quite a few mos. and they're all doing great on it |
hi It is an old post and my doing that it has re surfaced (LOL) I was searching the whole forum for comments about NUTRO HOLISTIC and this was one thread that came up. Is Nutro Natural the same food as NUTRO HOLISTIC ? |
There has been More problems Recently with Nutro I just took my cat off it shes now on wellness I wouldnt take any chances ESp when theres better food out there |

Good point, but being in the UK we can't get most of the GREAT FOODS you all do. When you say more problems recently do you mean since the end of last year ? |
I'm sure Nutro UK and Nutro USA are manufactured in different places, so maybe that is why there are no reports of it there. Some dogs are just sensitive to some foods and maybe this is one of them for your dog? You could always homecook.:) |
My mistake, I thought they were all made in the same place. The guy from Nutro UK told me today that it is made in California ??? :confused: :confused: He must be sensitive to something in it, that's what I thought, but why after 17 months he was fine before that. Ellie May you are a fountain of knowlege, Look at the ingrediant list of the Arden Grange, I was told it has no Wheat Gluten Corn or animal derivitives in it: No wonder I am really upset look at all this little lot: Ingredients Fresh Chicken (min 19%), Chicken Meal* (min 19%), Whole Grain Rice, Potato, Chicken Fat*, Beet Pulp, Egg Powder, Fish Meal*, Dried Brewers Yeast, Linseed, Fish Oil*, Minerals, Vitamins, Nucleotides, Prebiotic FOS, Prebiotic MOS, Cranberry Extract, Chondroitin Sulphate, Glucosamine Sulphate, MSM, Yucca Extract. * Preserved with mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract |
If it is made in California then they are both made in the same place I guess. That being said, maybe people in the UK aren't reporting bad effects because there is some kind of problems. |

Do they check their fish for contamination? |
The ingrediant list is for the Arden Grange Premium that Teddy is on now, I don't know if they check the fish for contamination, are you asking in respect of the fish oil in it? It is the amount of Chicken Meal in it this is crushed carcasses YUK ! The maize is sweetcorn in it (Not that digestable) It's not the best list I have seen, but then again it's not the worst either. |

This is the link that made me get him OFF Nutro but now someone has advised Nutro Holistic I think it is best to avoid it ALL to be on the safe side. |
i would stay away from anything nutro |
I was asking because of the fish meal... Corn can be an allergen and some say it is difficult to digest but if Ellie was allergic I would have no problem feeding it. Chicken meal is actually better than chicken. Chicken is fine but when you see it on an ingredient list, it means they have not removed the water from it (which can be up to 80% of the weight). So you are getting very little chicken with lots of water. Chicken meal is just chicken with water removed. By-products are what I'd want to avoid. Wellll, I'd want to avoid it altogether. |
i didnt know that thannks :D ^^ |
Here are the definitions: http://www.sniksnak.com/ac/petfooddefinitions.html So whether it is chicken or chicken meal, I'd rather not feed it.:) |

Yes I won't try the Holistic I will stay away too. |

I looked into chicken meal and look what I found out: Chicken Meal Poultry by-product meal is a high-protein commodity used as a major component in some pet foods. It is made from grinding clean, rendered parts of poultry carcasses and can contain bones, offal and undeveloped eggs, but only contains feathers that are unavoidable in the processing of the poultry parts. Poultry by-product meal quality and composition can change from one batch to another. Chicken by-product meal, like poultry by-product, is made of "dry, ground, rendered clean parts of the chicken carcass" according to AAFCO and may contain the same ingredients as poultry-by product. Chicken by-product can vary in quality from batch to batch. Chicken by-product costs less than chicken muscle meat and lacks the digestibility of chicken muscle meat. |

So you wouldn't feed Arden Grange at all then ? |
Quote:
Chicken meal and chicken by-products are different, I believe. Both chicken and chicken meal can be from the carcass. |
Quote:
No matter what dog food you use (kibble form), it probably will contain carcasses. |
My husband came up with a point last night, Dogs in the wild are scavangers and so they would eat carcass and otehr animal remains (I know that sounds awful) BUT as I said to him. Yorkies are a MAN MADE Breed allbeit pedigree's and they would not be able to live in the wild, and feed of dead animals etc they would get very sick. I think when we are all considering what to feed, we are dealing with a breed with different issues to other breeds, (Who all have thier own issues) It is a mind field. I can see why you homecook but I have heard it can be hard to get all the correct balance of nutirents homecooking what is/are your receipe/s |
