If anyone is feeding Nutro take your dog (s) off immediately.  2 of my puppies were recently poisoned and killed by this product. 

I am currently communicating with Nutro.  If you look on consumer affairs you will see hundreds of complaints (RECENTLY)  Dogs are getting very sick and young and older animals are dying. 

Symptoms are vomitting, diarrhea, lethargy.  Took my pups to the vet immediately and we could not figure out what was wrong with them.  We put them on supportive care but they did not make it.  The day I switched to Nutro they got sick.  Mother Dog also got sick but symptoms were not as severe.  Then the other pups got sick and I received a call from a friend breeder at midnight.  He has told me about the recent complaints.  I immediately took the dogs off Nutro and their symptoms disappeared. 

Nutro does not feel that they have to pull this product off the shelf right now even though it killed dogs before.  They said they would have to investigate the hundreds of complaints they are getting first.  I begged them to pull the product but they gave me some BS quality control story. 

Please if you are feeding Nutro take them off.

Found this website re:  Nutro.  Sounds like you are not alone!

Wow.

Its always good to share such information - and it certainly pays to research products thoroughly....

However...

We feed Nutro to some of our dogs.  We use it with dogs who are sensative or have allergies, and one who has a very slight pancreatic deficiency. She was diagnosed NOT pancreatitis - but a slight deficiency.

The dogs we choose to feed Nutro thrive on it and it has resolved several problems for us over the years.

I would add that we feed it only to adults. We do not feed any NUTRO puppy products.

I am very sorry to hear about your pups dying, that should just not be happening after all the
recalls and information on what's in the food.

I fed Nutro to my dogs years ago, and they started itching and their fur
started falling out.

I have used so many brands of dogfood over the years, that I am pleased to say
I have found the right dog food for all my dogs, I think it's going on a year now since
I have started feeding Canidae All Life Stages, I no longer have any ear problems or
problems with dull coats.

Also my pups devour it!

I do on occassion feed raw also.

So far, I'm sticking with this dog food, it cost me $ 31.00 for a 40 pound bag, and when
you have 9 alligators to feed, it's so worth it!

I hear you sparrow!

I was driving over the bridge to the next town to some fancy health food store for dogs,
and I was paying about $ 39.00 for a 40 pound bag, and I was buying alot, and asked the guy
if he could give me a break on the price, and he wouldn't, THEN, I called around and in the
same town I live in is a boarding kennel that sells it, and I asked her if I could get a break on the
price and low & behold, she said sure, so if I keep going to her kennel to buy it, she will sell it to
me for $ 31.00 for a 40 pound bag.

Doesn't hurt to ask around.

Ramson Kennel is located in Salisbury Ma.

for anyone feeding canidae or some other pricier brands that you don't normally find in pet stores, call around to feed stores. they often carry these types of dog foods and also they may carry one or more raw diets. the prices are almost always better than a vet or fancier store.

I use to feed Natural Choice large breed lamb and rice. I had fed it for a long time. My dogs did ok on it for a while but then around Feb of this year they started getting very dry skin and loose stool. Also about this time Nutro pulled the large breed lamb off of the shelf saying that they were doing a product change. At this time I switched my dogs to Diamond Naturals lamb and rice. They are doing great on it. There energy level is good and their coats are great. One other good thing is that Diamond Naturals DOESNT have that MENADIONE crap in it. 

WOW $123?! I pay I think $55 for a bag of Orijen, $34 for Canidae.  Lucky me, I work for a kennel that feeds Canidae, so they order extra and I buy from them cheaper, since they get a bulk price. Our puppy looks great on teh Orijen/WolfCub blend we feed her, and I think our others look equally good on Canidae.

Interesting comment comparing aspartame to menadione...I have a client who reminds me regularly who awful for me the diet soda is I carry around.  Then again, how many of us eat hamburger helper so our dogs can eat the best holistic foods?

steve1 - that is an incredible amount to pay for any food. I do feed Orijen but wouldn't at that price. I know your in Belgium but try this link and see if he can't do better than that. The guy I have dealt with is named Matt. They have free shipping on orders over $50 and the Orijen adult is or was $57.99 (or close to that) for the 29.7 lb. bag. I don't know if he ships international but I am sure there would have to be a charge for it. www.doggiezbest.com

I am having it tested at a private lab right now.  The man made vitamin K is not the issue here.  It is not poisen.
