Nutro 1

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.

Three days ago we began feeding our 3 dogs the new formula of Nutro Ultra Small Breed, which came out a few weeks ago. Two days ago one dog began with diarrhea and vomiting, this morning the second dog began the same problems, and this evening the third dog is having massive diahrrea and vomiting. The new formula does not contain probiotics, but it does contain pumpkin, avocado and blueberries, with are "prebiotics". If you are going to use this formula, be certain to mix it gradually into whatever you are currently feeding your dog! Otherwise, prepare yourself for some nasty cleanups and possibly ruined carpeting.

Yes, they changed the artwork on their products AND the ingredients. I was feeding my Sheltie the Nutro Ultra. On the front of the cans in yellow lettering it said "NO WHEAT GLUTEN." This was the melamine tainted ingredient a couple of years ago. I bought some of the newly labeled cans the other day 9/3/09 and guess what? It contains wheat gluten again! Go to Nutro Ultra's website and click on their ingredients tab, they don't even list wheat gluten. I have had it with them. I guess I will be going to Merrills or Blue Buffalo now.

I thought this was an interesting page about Nutro from PETA:
