Hey calabria you should check this out if you want to continue to feed nutro, I switch to Earthborn two weeks ago because of this alert.

DOG FOOD ALERT!! DOES YOUR DOG EAT BLUE BUFFALO? Complaints are piling in about diarreah, vomiting, seizures since the company was sold.http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/blue_buffalo.html

DOG FOOD ALERT!! DOES YOUR DOG EAT NUTRO/NUTRO NATURAL? Complaints are piling in about diarreah, vomiting, seizures since the company has changed their formula.

SO many questions!
1. I don't know if there is the same problem with the cat foods. You might want to search those brands and state cat food on Consumer Affairs website.
2. I don't know for sure about the fact that Blue Buffalo was sold or not - but a lot of peoples dogs are getting sick on it. Mommy tried me on it a few months ago and I got sick. These warnings are really just to inform people so they can watch their dog and watch for symptoms and see if possibly the food is making your dog sick.
3. I don't think there has been a recall on either Blue Buffalo or Nutro.
4. I have heard of higher protein amounts effect dogs differently as do different ingredients so basically it is a try and see how your dog does on certain foods until you find the right one.
5. Some people have stated that all those complaints are false? Well some of the comments here show that other peoples dogs ARE getting sick and it COULD be from either of these foods.
6. We switched to Merrick Pet Care Merrick foods because it IS made in the USA and does NOT have ANY ingredients MADE IN CHINA in it. Mommy liked the ingredients on the list and liked that the food is locally sourced etc.... So far I have been doing well on thefood.
7. Not sure I addressed all issues but will try to read through the comments again tomorrow and answer as much as I can.
8. Bottom line - it is always good to know if something changes in a dog food that is causing other dogs to get sick so that you can then evaluate your own dog and so you know what to watch out for. Nutro recently changed their formula - added Green Tea Extract - of which I read (don't know if it is true) that it is NOT good for dogs - so could be some dogs reacting to it or another possible "new" ingredient that was not there before. As always - the owner must judge what to feed their dog. I just like to pass stuff like this along in case others do not know what is making their dogs sick and can then figure out if it might possibly be the food.
9. That's it for now. BOL!
