Our 4 year old dog is dying. She started a few months ago with loss of energy. When her back legs started collapsing on walks we took her to the vet who ran a number of lab tests. All her levels were bad. The day after the vet visit I realized it must be her Nutro large breed dog food. This site confirmed my suspicions. We immediately stopped feeding her Nutro, but it's been over a week since she has eaten anything on her own. I've tried everything but she just spits it out. We are now putting peanut butter in her mouth for some nutrition. If she has a bm, it is loose. The vet gave her antibiotics for her kidneys. She vomitted daily while on these. I hoped her appetite would return after finishing her medicine; it hasn't. If she doesn't start eating soon she will starve to death. I don't want to put her down, but I don't want her to suffer. I keep hoping for a miracle.

My Boston terrier died yesterday after a progressive decline in health. He had been on a raw diet until October of last year. He lost weight at first then he lost interest in his favorite toys,and playing,going on walks or car rides. He was an alpha male in the house and turned into a weak unsure dog.He started having some small seizures in July and back and forth visits to the vet with no explanation, I could kick myself that it did not realize it could be the dog food. recently he began drinking water excessively and urinating in the house. He never did this. He had loose bloody stool last week so I gave him parvoguard for this and Tripsy for his kidneys.

Early Tuesday(Oct 14) morning he had Grand Mal epileptic seizures.This was the most painful thing I've ever had to see. He regained conscience once then had several more cluster seizures. Even if I'd got him to emergency at 4 AM he'd never of made it. His heart could not take any more.I made him comfortable but I knew he'd suffered brain damage after the first cluster seizure and I have to say good-bye to my beautiful Boston Dooley.I stumbled upon this sit and now I see things through new eyes. here are known reasons for these seizures There's got to be way to stop this now

the result is the loss of our faithful companion.He was only 7-1/2 years old

Our dog had been throwing up for about a month until we finally realized it was the food after seeing on the news that the nutro canned food was being recalled. Although our dog eats the dry food, it must be contaminated as well. At first we thought that the throwing up was due to NSAID's that we had to put him on for arthritis, but after we stopped them for a week and he was still throwing up we switched his food to boiled chicken and rice. The vomiting stopped so we gave him his Nutro dry food again and the vomiting started up again. The vet was no help, and we only realized it when we heard about the recall of the wet food and did a web search and found this site (and others) that it must be nutro dry food. He ate the healthy joints with glucosamine kind. I have contacted Nutro, let my vet know about it and the FDA. Hopefully someone investigates this soon.

We are in the middle of dealing with our 9 yr old Cocker Spaniel who stopped eating his Nutro food and was throwing up and had diarhea. He had been completely healthy before this incident. He has eaten Nutro his whole life. The vet discovered that he had extremely elevated liver enzymes and after x-rays and numerous lab tests and an ultra sound, he is being treated for acute pancreatitis. His food has been changed to a low fat diet also.

He will be retested in a week and I will follow up this report but I was alarmed to see all the reports on Nutro. We had stopped his food and he ate the new food we gave him so we put him back on the Nutro and he got sick again. Now that he is on the low fat diet and antibiotics, he acts like his old self. I hope no permanent damage has been done to him. Please keep me informed if you discover any new information. I will update you, also.

We have spent hundreds of dollars on regular lab tests as well as clotting tests because these were irregular, also. He has had xrays and an ultrasound that cost us in excess of 700.00. Altogether, we have spent about 1,500.00

I switched my cat to Nutro Natural dry cat food about two weeks ago, and have only put a few morsels a day with her previous food. She has thrown up four times since. My Aunt's cat was severely sick recently, throwing up, diarrhea, and lethargic, and she has been feeding her cat the same food. Something is wrong with this food, as my cat has NEVER gotten sick from switching food.
