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.

Nutro makes a variety of foods. Which Nutro product are you talking about?

It was the Nutro Max Puppy

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.

Nutro is good and then it is recalled.  They fix the problem and then it strikes again.  I know it can happen with any food but I would not feed any Nutro food to any of my dogs. I would not feed it to my worst enemy.

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
!

We were feeding Nutro and heard about a possible problem, switched to "Canidae All Life Stages" also but I sure with I could find it for $31.00, we're paying $43.00 for 40 lbs.

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.

Now what?

Have the Chinese suppliers found a way to slip in more contaminated ingredients using sham compainies in the USA?

There has to be a quality control problem.
