Kristina of Chandler, AZ May 26, 2009 I have always fed my dogs Science Diet adult food & they have been fine. Very recently about a week after I started another bag, my Border Collie started throwing up and had diarrhea. Since he was acting normal, I waited it out but after 7-8 days I broke down and took him to the vet. They took a ton of tests (xrays, bloodwork, barium w/xrays) and found absolutely nothing wrong with him. About 7 days after my Border collie got sick then my LAB started having the SAME problems. I stopped the food (since that is the only common thing they have) and within 3 days of a bland diet of rice and chicken, they both have stopped throwing up! I have 3 other dogs in the house and none of them were sick (they eat OTHER food, puppy and older dog food). The vet said there was no evidence of anything else in the bloodwork or tests, so we have come to the conclusion that it's their food. We think it might be a bad batch?? Something may have went wrong in processing it. The food was bought at Petsmart appr. May 1, 2009. Although I can not be 100% sure that the food caused this, through the vet and process of elimination it seems that it's the most likely source. 900 in Vet bills/tests & stress for both my dogs and myself. Nothing else noted at this time. Randy of Fair Oaks, CA April 24, 2009 I just adopted a 5 y/o Chessy from the pound. They gave us a bag of Science Diet kibbles. He hasn't had a single formed stool in the month we've had him, all are pudding like. He also could not hold it and went all over my carpet. I'm throwing the Science Diet out. I suspect too much corn in the formulation. I also noticed that he had frequent eleminations with excessive straining. Damaged carpet that remained stained, yellow, even after carpet cleaning. Michelle of Newmarket, ON April 23, 2009 i have 2 dogs one 4 yrs old one 2 yrs old. i was feeding them the recommended dose of hills science diet adult formula for almost a yr. during this year my 4 yr old wouldnt eat the food so i had to feed him a different brand my 2 year old ate the hills diet daily and many health problems excelled like seizures and many as time went on digestive problems constant vomitting and loose frequent stools. i took him to vets which promotes the hills diet food and told me he had sensitive stomach along with not to worry about the siezures as many dogs get this and it isnt a reason to worry. i decided to take him off the hills diet and started him on benefull by purina and his siezures went away completely, normal less stool, and he keeps his food and water down now. hmmm it makes me wonder if hills is all that they claim to be because i dont have no problems with the 25 dollar purina dog food vs the 80 dollar science diet. John of Allen, TX April 22, 2009 John of Allen TX (04/22/09) Fred of Grand Junction, CO February 15, 2009 Fred of Grand Junction CO (02/15/09) Andrea of Kansas City, MO February 11, 2009 Andrea of Kansas City MO (02/11/09) Cristina of Cary, IL February 10, 2009 Cristina of Cary IL (02/10/09) My kitten developed a granuloma on his mouth and the back of his legs that we are still trying to treat. My 3 year old ended up getting bad acne that had to be lanced on her chin. Over the month on this food, I tore my house apart top to bottom to see what they were getting in to. It was when my 3 year old had to stay at the vet for two weeks (due to the infected chin) that we discovered it cleared when they changed her to an all meat diet. I also took my little one off of the dry and put him on prescription ZD. Report Your Experience
