I love Nutro. My dog has been on it for years. She has a beautiful, lots of energy. She eat less of this brand and shed less.

I used to be very pleased with Nutro. I am not so much any more. The price is drastically increased, and the ingredient list has gone down hill. Disappointed. I give it one star as you must rate it with at least one in order to submit. Otherwise, mine would be no stars.

MY MIXED BREED DOG WAS ON NUTRO FOR A FEW YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS, HE HAS BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE VET. HE HAD BEEN VOMITING, REFUSING TO EAT, LETHARGIC. FINALLY THE THIRD VISIT TO THE VET HE HAD TO STAY FOR 2 NIGHTS BECAUSE HE WAS DEHYDRATED. NOW I AM READING HOW MANY DOG OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCES. MY VET TOLD ME HOW NUTRO WAS SOLD, AND COULD HAVE CHANGED THE FORMULA WHICH IS MAKING JAKE SICK. SO , I DECIDED FOR NOW THAT I AM COOKING FOR MY DOG, JUST CHICKEN AND RICE WITH PEAS AND CARROTS AND HE LOVES IT. UNTIL I RESEARCH THE VARIOUS DOG FOODS. I AM FINDING MANY MIXED REVIEWS FOR ALL THE PREMIUM DOG FOODS, BUT, WILL NEVER BUY NUTRO AGAIN.

fair

Never trust a candy company to make a quality dog food. And when a candy company buys out a dog food company, expect quality to go downhill. That is the case here. Mars Foods/Masterfoods, manufacturer of Snickers bars and M&Ms, bought out Nutro, and has reformulated the foods several times in the intervening two years. Now all Nutro cat foods have either corn or wheat in them, as does the Nutro Max dog food line. Most Nutro Natural Choice formulas are still corn and wheat free, but they are doubling up on the rice portions, increasing carb content while decreasing meat content. Not exactly ideal for our pet carnivores. It's a shame, as Nutro was one of the earlies of the new generation of natural, healthy foods... and that is falling by the wayside in the interest of profits for Mars.

When I got my Husky puppy, Dakota; I put him on this food because a great friend of mine told me it was awsome. Keep in mind that is almost 3 yrs ago. I think back then it was alright. I went away to basic training, my mom got him on Beneful and when I got him back I tried switching back to Nutro. Of course it was over a period of 1 week and it was a slow transition. He ended up with the yellow runs for a month and a half until I realized that it was the food that was causing this. I took in a sample of his stool to be tested to make sure that there was no parasites or giardia. All came out of negative. I switched to Calif. Natural and he was been doing so much better and we dont have to force him to eat either. I do not recommend this at work. And plus, after the recall with the Nutro cat food they are going to increase their prices again! They cut down with the dog food from 40 lbs to 35 lbs for $44.99 or so!

Just went to purchase a bag of large breed adult ultra and noticed they switched the bag style, formula,and reduced the bag size down to 30lbs from 35lbs. What a sneaky way to rip us off.

I recently switched my chihuahua to nutro from science diet. She had been having trouble with her stools for a month. After many stool samples to the vet, antibiotics, presciption low residue food, everything! We did some research and decided to try nutro. I was pleased with the ingredients. That was 2 days ago. I stopped the antibiotics, the ear drops for itchy ears and gave her nothing but the nutro nature choice and the nutro dog biscuts. Wow! solid stools, she loves it! Everyone has their own opinion, for us we will remain nutro users for life! Now my mom has switched her 2 chihuahuas and they love it too. One month at the vet, 48 hours with nutro! I am truely amazed. She is my baby and I want her to have the best. Nutro is just that, the best food for us. I hope everyone else finds what works for your babies. I only wish I had found it sooner, I'd be 400 dollars richer! Mimi and her mom

I have never fed Nutro MAX and never will due to the horrendous ingredients and my dog's allergies to almost every main ingredient in it. BUT, I know people who do feed it. When I first saw this food I was horrified...it's orange!! Why? That was frightening! Next was that none of these dogs seemed to enjoy eating it. I can't blame them. And third, all of the dogs I know that have eaten this have the worst stools!! If it's not strange enough that their stools are orange like the food, all of them had runny stools all the time. I was so disgusted and felt obligated to tell all of them that they should switch to a healthier food. I couldn't keep quiet any longer. This food is a disgrace. I wasn't surprised that the cat food was recalled, but I'll never figure out why the dog food isn't.

We fed my dogs Nutro Food for about 16 years. Recently my dog became violently ill and was not able to keep even water or ice chips down. We took her to the vet and she had to be put on an IV due to dehydration. X-rays were done to see if there was any "foreign" body in her stomach but nothing was found. Only an area where the intestines were engorged with gas. The following day the x-rays showed no change and she was still not able to keep anything down. They decided to do an endoscopy nothing "foreign" was found in either her stomach or intestines. But the scope stimulated her bowels to move and she produced a "rotten stool" according to the vet. When he called me he asked what type food we fed her and when I stated Nutro he said "That makes sense then". He said that he had seen this same thing recently with another dog that was also fed Nutro. He said there had been a recall on it. But when I researched it on the web there has been no recall but there are over 500 complaints on ConsumerAffairs.com against Nutro from pet owners all with very similar complaints. My dog was hospitalized for 4 days with a vet bill of over $1500, she is home now but we are still monitoring her closely since she is still having some residual effects from that food.

We used to have our dog on eukanuba for a couple years and he would eat it but he didn't like it. We switched to some cheaper brands bc of money issues and he liked it better but could tell the quality wasn't as good. Now we are on the nutro ultra and he loves it. He likes the taste and no more "butt bath" problems like we had with the eukanuba and the cheaper brands. I would like to remind people that when they are switching dogs over to a new brand they need to gradually incorporate the new food or they will have diarrhea and gas problems.

Nurto dog food has worked well for both my dogs. I have a Pug and a Yorkie we got from someone else. Nutro dog food seems to be working pretty well, especially on my Pug. She is usually pretty healthy, except for a minor staph infection she got recently somehow, but we have some medication for that and she is already much better. Anyway, she tolerates the food very well, and she loves it. The Yorkie doesn't tolerate it quite as well when we accidentally give her my Pugs food. When she has her own food, she does very well. My Pug uses the weight control, and my Yorkie uses the regular adult food.

I have a shepherd rott/lab mix dog. We have fed her Nutro since day one starting with large breed puppy and then the large breed dog. She has had NO problems! We love this food. She is energetic and playful and never sick. I just hate to see everyone bashing it... no food is immune to causing problems for certain dogs. And if you think about it....most people don't get on here to rate because they like it but only if they don't so it would seem of course there are more negative ratings than positive. Overall Nutro is wonderful for us and our dogs! You may want to watch where you buy it also. If dog food like any food sits to long it goes bad and if your store does not sell it in large quantities that may be part of your problem!

Nutro Rocks!
Roxi Loves it
So Do We!!

I joined this site SIMPLY to review this product. I put my GSD puppy on it since I wasn't very educated about the ingredients and saw Chicken as the first and thought it would be a good choice. Boy was I wrong. She has thrown up and had diarreah very badly since I gave it to her. I did extensive research and found it rated only two stars on http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/ and also found on other review sites that many dogs were having the same probs as my Lulu. I also had to buy nutro large breed puppy canned to mix with it since she hated the taste and wouldn't eat it alone but I figured she was just picky.

Through my research I found Taste of The Wild which is no grain with very wholesome ingredients and 6 stars on above mentioned site AND it cost the SAME as the Nutro! It's just not available at PetSmart, I found it at a local feed store here. I cannot comment on the results yet as I just started the switch but I put the remainder of my bag of Nutro for free on Craigslist and Lulu chowed down the Taste of the Wild food without needing wet to make it flavorful.

Also, when I was at the feed store (who also sold Nutro and had a sign in the door that they proudly sell Nutro) I asked the sales guy "should I mix the rest of my Nutro with the TOTW to use it up or should I just stop giving it to her?" and he looked at me and sort of in a half whisper said "get her off it now!"

I will never buy Nutro again from how I have seen my pup react.

I am not very impressed with any of the Nutro kibbles or canned foods. My dog never seemed very impressed with the food and required some covincing to eat. He had terrible gas on Nutro dog foods and often had loose stools.

My dog's overall condition has visibly improved after changing to a different brand of food.

Nutro is all hype....all the other reviews about it making dogs sick are soooo true! It did the same thing to my Maltese mix....she stopped eating her Science Diet so we switched to the recommended Nutro, she was alright for a while, then just refused to eat for like a week. Eventually she started to eat it again and was alright, but then she starting to get seriously sick and throwing up and had terrible diarrhea. I knew right away it was the food....all the reviews I've read have been terrible....I will NEVER feed Nutro to my pets again and would NEVER recommend it to anyone.

I wish they would break Nutro up into categories. Regular Nutro Max isn't a great food, but the Nutro Ultra Holistic Adult and Adult Small breed are excellent foods. I switched to the small breed after one of my dogs became picky over his Eukanuba small breed adult, but ate my mother's dogs Nutro Max. I picked the Ultra Holistic over the Max because of the ingredients. It's been rated a 4 star dog food on dogfoodanalysis.com, Nutro Max is a 1 to 2 star food. He enjoys eating it, and it's better then most pet store dog foods, so it's a win in my book.

I hear so many wonderful things about nutro and gave it a try,and my dog is just as shiny as the picture they advertise on their table.

the food is great! 100 % satisfactory.I did a full REsearch on the food product,and turns out that all their dog food is all natural and full of nutrition. ALL NATURAL

My dogs love it,and are both very healthy and shiny

That one lady that says her dog died,was not anything nutro could of caused.

It had to be from another sorce of illness she was not aware of that cause her dog problems had she taken the dog to the vet,she would of found the issue of her dogs illness. I see no where in the ingredients that would cause any problems.Thats too bad she lost her dog.I do not see anwhere to where Nutro would be the source.

Nurtro is also recommended by the vets.Did the lady actual take it to the vet and they just blamed NUTRO? That does not sound like vets would bash a vet recommended food.just weird

I just don't trust Nutro after all the problems they've had.

This used to be a pretty good food. I don't know what has happened lately. We fed our recent litter Nutro large breed puppy and every time we started a new bag of food, they got explosive diarrhea. Maybe it's just not consistent from batch to batch?

Our adult dogs did well on it, except for one girl who was very gassy. But they did poop a lot, and considering what we are paying for 30 pound (puppy) and 33 pound (adult) bags of food, it's excessive for sure.

In summary, there are worse foods out there but I wouldn't feed this food if something better is available. We switched ours to ProPlan and I am enjoying the reduced poop load for sure!

NEVER EVER AGAIN

I will never feed any of my pets Nutro again. It killed my dog two years ago and made my cat very sick. They get their ingredients anywhere they can and don't care that they do. Anyone who still uses Nutro after the food recall two years ago should keep an eye on your pet i would hate for you to lose a loved member of the family like I did because Nutro could care less where their product comes from.

Nutro dog food is not good, we started about jan. of 2008 feeding our rot weiler lab mix nutro. She loved it at first and seemed to have great energy, then about 4 months into it she started vomiting . We had thought it to be the new treats we had fed her so we stayed on the nutro. With more time her coat became worse and picked a up a strange odor. She started itching more and more. currently we are feeding her a rice and ground beef diet until she recovers from (NUTRO) after reading these articles I WILL NEVER GIVE HER NUTRO AGAIN. The package is misleading and not true. I hope anyone who reads this changes there dogs food immediately! I wish I could give this product Negative stars !

this food iz all nutrition and stuf but it prbly sucks to eat it cuz my dog isnt eating it becuz he iz picky but this food sucks

I would definitely recommend this food!

I have my 5 year old cocker spaniel on the Natural Choice Lamb because he has allergies. Before, I had him on prescription food from the vet, but when I switched to the Nutro, he improved DRAMATICALLY! He doesn't smell anymore, no more hot spots, all his hair came back. Its just fantastic, I'm really glad I switched.

I also have my 15 month old Rottweiler on the Max Large Breed, and he just loves it too. His coat is beautiful! And he has so much energy!

Both of them have good stools, and I have never had any of the problems with vomiting. I LOVE this food!

I put my flat-coated retriver mix on Nutro Max about a month ago. He had previously been on Science Diet, and I felt he needed a change. Before the nutro, his coat was soft and shiny; I often got compliments on how beautiful my dog was. Recently he has been itching like crazy, and did not do this previous to the Nutro Max. Today I just picked up a bag of Natural Balance Sweet Potato and Venison formula. I am going to try this and see if his excessive itching stops; it is supposed to have limited ingredients and be a great help with allergies. Hope it helps!

well, i'll have to agree with pwcox. everything he/she said is absolutely true, plus nutro has become the newest victim of the incredible shrinking bag. went from a 40lb down to 35lb, ingredients are cheaper, and the bag cost 7 bucks more now. i'm almost considering putting my dog on grocery store food, at least it's consistently crappy ! i'll give it a 2 for what it used to be.

I love my Nutro high protien dog food. My 2 dogs love it. I switched them over to another brand of organic dog food because it was cheaper.Wrong! I will never do that again they were up at all hours of the night going to the bathroom and really really bad gas. I felt really bad for them so the $40 bucks for a 35lb bag is okay by me.

i was feeding my puppy natural balance which i thought would be great because the woman at the petco said it was the BEST and along with the price i thought i couldnt go wrong.Well after awhile i noticed more and more scratching and also much more flaking.I decided to switch to nutro max and cannot be happier the itching and flaking is gone and he is full of energy!

I have a 7 month old german shephard/pitt bull mix and have been feeding him Nutro Natural Choice large breed puppy food from day 1. He hasn't had any specific problems related to the food, or so I thought... I was asking a friend if the cooler weather has made his dog more anxious (less excersize) and he started to tell me about how a dog food could make such a difference. I came here and saw all these really negative reviews! My pup often has horribly stinky gas, and so have many of yours! Maybe it's time to shop for an organic dog food... silly me I thought "all natural" was good enough.

Nutro has changed a lot of their formulas just recently..... under the cover of making some products unavailable.

for their chicken based food.... 1st ingredient is now chicken instead of chicken meal.    for their lamb based food.... 1st ingredient is now lamb instead of lamb meal

Chicken and lamb are cheaper than chicken meal and lamb meal.  Once you remove the water, chicken or lamb is about 1/8 chicken meal or lamb meal. 

WAIT.... you will also see POTATO PROTEIN, PEA PROTEIN, RICE PROTEIN CONCENTRATE in dry formulas.... this is a way to boost total crude protein.... Isn't it great.... reduce meat based protein and replace it with cheaper grain based protein.... AND.... most consumers won't know the difference because most consumers don't read labels or bother to do research and continue to pay high prices.

If I were still feeding Nutro, I might as well feed my dogs vegetarian food.

I switched my 10 dogs over to this food after trying many others. We use the sensitive stomach formula (chicken, rice & oatmeal) and they love it. So far we havn't had any trouble. I have tried so many brands out there, and this is the best for one of my dogs with allergies and another with stomach problems. I hate to see all the negative. We tried what seems like every brand out there, and even the most expensive ones didn't work. Either my dogs didn't like the taste, or my one with the stomach problems threw up. He hasn't gotten sick once since we have used this.

I see dogs all the time ( work in a vet clinic) I always ask what people feed. People are misled by Nutro. They see the labeling and think they have a winner. Nevermind huge stool quantity, poor coat and allergies. I rank it up there with Beneful, another junk food. People look at the bag with vegetables on it and turn off their brain. Nevermind the food is red and green. Very fake looking, yuck! Whole Dog Journal rates all of the foods on the market if someone is looking for a good food.

I have 1 yr old yellow lab that is very active. We were feeding Royal Canine (lab breed) dog food until the price of the food went up. I then switched to Nutro high protein/active food. Our lab now has a better coat,more muscle definition and less stool. Great FOOD!

I have two dogs a 2 year old Weimaraner/Shar Pei mix and a 1 year old English Springer Spaniel. My 2 year old has always had allergies to wheat, beef, and gluten. I had a hard time finding a food for him until 02/2008. I bought him Nutro Natural Choice Chix, Rice and Oatmeal. It worked! His stomach problems subsided and so I switched their food to it. Then around the beginning of Aug I bought a new bag (same food just a new bag) and within 12 hours both dogs had severe diarrhea and vomiting. I didnt think it was the food at first. But what else could it have been they hadnt had anything different but a new bag. I stopped them on it and the diarrhea and vomiting stopped. I also took them to the vet, they said it was probably the food and to contact the company. When I contacted them they said they hadnt make any changes to the formula and didnt know what it was. I changed them to a new food California Natural Chix and Rice and they have done excellent on it. Its been about 2 weeks now and no problems. However, I still had some Nutro treats laying around the house and my husband accidentally gave the dogs the Nutro treats and within a few hours the diarrhea started again w/ both dogs. That just proves to me that it MUST be the Nutro. I am so disappointed in this company. Luckily I did my research and found California Natural and I will stick w/ that. - Meghan -

Unfortunately, I had my dog on this food before I knew anything about nutrition. This food is j-u-n-k! Not only does it have next to no nutritional value, but my dog also had several bouts of vomiting yellow bile before I pulled her off the food. I had no idea the food was causing the problem 'till I did an internet search on her symptoms. I was AMAZED by the search results. This reaction has become synonymous with Nutro products! I pulled her off the food, and the vomiting hasn't reoccured since. Do some research before you feed your dog this stuff. I wish I had. At least I caught it in time.

I have been using Nutro dry kibbles for almost 4 years and my dogs are doing wonderful, much better than the "name brand" products. I think its better since they dont use by-products, they use real meat protein not the heads, feet and guts. Also no yellow corn, soybeans and sorghum which is hard for anyone to digest. They use highly digestable rice. Great food for skin and coat, it works, believe me. No chemicals, no dyes but plenty of natural ingredients instead. Vitamins/minerals aplenty. I only wish i knew about this product before when my dogs were eating unhealthy so called named brand foods. We, my cats and dogs love it.

Nutro killed my 6 year old Newfie similar symptoms vomiting bloody stools, liver damage found by looking at bloodwork. Two other dogs, 8 years, 9 years, also sick but survived with 6 months of special diets and meds for liver problems. Bloodwork for all three similar. Newfie bloodwork the worst (ate the largest amount of Nutro dry food). Nutro was denying any problems with dry food because they were preparing to sell company.

Add me to the list of pet owners who are less than pleased with Nutro. I had been feeding my Yellow Lab Nutro Chicken, Oatmeal, and Rice. Started out good, he really loved it. Then, he began having EXTREMELY Foul Gas, I'm talking almost unbearable gas, and loose stools. I switched him off of Nutro and viola... no more gas, and firm stools. I'm just a bit upset that they advertise the food as being all natural and extremely nutritious and safe, but so many people are having the same results as I had.

No stars! What has Nutro done to their formula? I had my puppies on Nutro Natural Choice Small Bites Puppy (chicken) but then gradually changed them over to the adult version on their first birthdays. The first bag was ok, then bought a new, 20 lb. bag and immediately the problems began. Loose, bloody stools, vomiting - then I Googled and found NUMEROUS complaints. Have they changed the ingredients? Are they using tainted ingredients? Called Nutro and they read me a scripted reply. I am sending this to a lab for my own testing as I do not think we should trust Nutro to test it "and send me the results". I am a retired person and can keep track of my dog's eating/elimination habits. I know when this all started. I cannot believe it is a coincidence that so many others are having the same problems. Nutro needs to own up before this tainted food is exposed too! Who will buy their products once the news comes out that not only was their "wet" food tainted, but now the "dry" also?

Someone else mentioned they were a buyer who doesn't buy hype, and this is exactly what carries this brand -hype, something that is not real. Just look at the ingredients and you will find many grain by products. It is quite expensive for the amount of grain it has. You may has well buy a 50$ bag of grain byproducts. I fed this to my 12 year old bordercollie/flatcoat retreiver and she passed away a month later. She wasn't exactly young but everyday i regret putting her on this food. She never had any health issues prior to the day before she passed away and still enjoyed playing like she was puppy up until her days ended. I suspect she had kidney failure as she stopped moving one n ight and would just lay there and passed away the next morning. I don't think I've ever been as upset other then at funerals of my relatives. She was on costcos food before, the kirkland brand which is definitely better the nutro and costs 20$ or more less. Look at its ingredients, its a great deal for what it is. There is way better foods then it, but if your going to go with an avergae food, go with costcos. I'm not saying nutro caused it but I can't help but wonder...never listen to people who just say to use a food because its good, read the ingredients and base your decision only by that. The only reason it gets 2 star from me is that there are many poorer foods then this.

Our puppy was raised on the food and was doing great until Nutro switched the formula suddenly. Now there has been diarrhea and vomiting for two weeks. What were we supposed to do? We were all out of the old formula so we couldn't gradually mix it it with the new to help with the transition. Nutro left us high and dry...with big messes to clean up.

After all this, I'm kinda glad that it forced me to take another look at the food and all the mediocre ingredients it contained. We are moving on to much better products for not much more money. Check out Orijen, Innova, or Canidae for a better experience.

I had my chi try this food and it gave her so much food built up on the sides of her teeth. I used the Fish formula and it seemed to get rid of her I gunk, which was GREAT. But her dental was not getting any help. Most of the food was stuck to her teeth then being swallowed. Plus they don't have very small pellets for 2 lbs dogs. Oh well. I thought it was at a reasonable price for my small dog but it wasn't specific for my dogs needs.

I switched my 11 year old Maltese to the Nutro Max Weight Control because the food I was getting at the Supermarket had food coloring in it and made her tears and saliva stain her coat around the face and paws. My sister give Nutro to her dog and loves it. My dog has eaten about 1/4 of the bag and started vomiting thick yellow bile at night. After reading this I am switching her food immediately.

Recently switched my 5 year old Cocker Spaniel to Nutro Max. All was well at first, he really liked the food and would gobble it up as soon as I set it down. However, after about a week on it, he started throwing up yellow bile at least once a day, sometimes more. Other than the vomiting, he seemed fine - eating, drinking and running around as normal, so I decided to keep an eye on him rather than take him in to the vet for tests.

After about a week and a half of the non-stop vomiting, I did a Google search for "dog vomiting yellow bile". Found a LOT of results for people who have dogs that throw up constantly while eating Nutro.

Decided to switch my dog over to another brand. SURPRISE!! He hasn't thrown up since I took him off Nutro. Buyer beware.

its ok in my oppinion. My friend feeds it to his black lab and she seems to be healthy. wouldnt feed them to much at one time because they get fat very fast!  I dont know a hole lot about dogs though - I am a cat person.

Nutro Max Adult Dry Dog Food purchased 12/20/07 made my dogs extremely sick - the American Eskimo still has diarrhea however the vomitting has stopped as of 1/23/08. 12/23/07 I had to take my Yorkie to emergency Clinic. 12/27/07 I to him to my vet. My Yorkie had to have blood transfusion at a Critical Care Veterinary 12/28/07. I spent approx $2500 & rising. My Eskimo is going back to the vet tomorrow for more blood work I am one of the lucky pet owners - my pets are still breathing 

Update 2/18/07 my american eskimo is still sick.  He will not eat anything.  I am giving him 14 pills a day & have spent close to $7000 in getting both of dogs well.  The vets are completely stumped.  I am having the dog food tested independently.

We have 5 dogs. Our youngest is 8months old and was switched from Nutro(which we had fed all dogs for a few years)to NOW natural due to loose, disgusting stools, horrible gas and bloody diarrhea. She has been awesome ever since. Now, 3 months later, ALL 4 of my other dogs are having chronic diarrhea and vomitting. When I stop the food they get better and start to feed them the Nutro the diarrhea starts again. Obviously, we're going to have to change foods. All of my dogs had been healthy and we were happy with the product aside from the fact that my blue heeler developed kidney and seizure issues, which we had not necessarily attributed to the food. What happened to this food in the last year?

I have fed my dog Nutro since I've had him, he started on Nutro Large Breed Puppy and then switched over to Large Breed Adult, I actually switched him onto another food because of all the negativity around Nutro, he was so sick, itchy skin, had the runs, wouldn't even eat, which is not normal for a 1 yr old dog! I am so upset that I messed with success Nutro is wonderful.

I fed my dog nutro natural choice her whole life (she's 7yrs old). She has done great on it but she would occatioally throw up yellow bile every couple of weeks. Not thinking it was the food I still fed it to her. She has always hated the food and at times won't eat unless we encourage her. I was talking to a rep at a pet store and she told me that they added soy to there food not to long ago. Soy is not good for dogs! That made me start looking at the ingredents again. The first ingredent used to be a meat meal and it has now changed to rice flour. This makes me mad! Nurto has always promoted there food saying that real meat is the number one ingredent. After the recalls I was starting to wonder about the true nutritional value in the food, since it's made in the same plant as all the crap food. I'm not happy with this food any more and quite frankly I'm very upset that I fed it to my dog for all these years!
