4health Dog Food Reviews

I had a beautiful healthy red nose pit girl who was a little overweight. I switched her from the 4 Health Weight Management food to the 4- Health Healthy weight food. She ate two bowls of this food. She was coughing up mucus. She coughed. Stood up and fell over in her kennel. I let her out to monitor her where I watched her go into a seizure, vomit foam, and go stiff. She experienced labored breathing and died before I could even get a vet on the phone. My other two dogs are on the 4-Health Salmon. I’m going to be throwing $120 worth of dog food away today.

I purchased 4health Dog Food beef potato formula for large dogs, I also purchased Small breed formula and urinary tract for cats. My 13 year old healthy boxer is the only dog that ate a bowl on Friday after an hour of eating it he started foaming at the mouth and had a seizure. Then on Saturday after eating a bowl he had 15 seizures throughout the day. My other pets wouldn't eat the food. THANK GOD!! On Sunday after eating he had a really bad seizure. I never even thought it could have been the food. We bought it cause the salesperson at Tractor Supply told us it was good for Bully breeds as he has allergies to dog food with corn and junk in it is the reason we were looking for something good for him.

I've always loved ProPlan for my dogs. They happily gobbled it up with no health issues for years, and then I broke down and adopted two cats, (Then two more). I was dumbfounded at the cost and lack of decent options for food at the time. Then one day, I was scanning the aisles of PetSmart for good options that didn't cost 1/2 my paycheck and there was a cat adoption day being held. I got to talking to the woman who runs the rescue and cat food came up. Because we were in PetSmart, she lowered her voice and very quietly told me that if I wanted the best cat food on the market, and at a fraction of the cost, to buy it from Tractor Supply Co, (TSC). She told me that their brand is called 4Health, but it's made by Blue Buffalo. The difference is in the price. It's extremely reasonable! She said she only feeds that to all the animals in her shelter but didn't want the staff at PetSmart to hear her say that.

I thought it was the medication my dog was on making her throw up every day all day long. But it turns out it was this food. Very very disappointed and after reading all the complaints about how other people's dogs are doing the same thing and yet there is no recall being done I am switching brands and never coming back to this.

We thought we would try this for our 10 year old Catahoula/Rottie mix. It made her very sick with diarrhea and she was very lethargic until we stopped the treats. Going to return it to the store the next time we go there.

The ingredient list is great which is why I bought it! Then my dog started getting extremely sick and lethargic. Refused to eat her dog food but acted like she was hungry and would eat treats. She had tiny dark inconsistent poops. Throwing up and absolutely no energy. I took her to the vet, who said she ate something that gave her a bug. She literally has no access to anything. Bathroom and bedroom doors always closed and the rest of the house is dog proofed.

Been with 4 health for a long time. Recently my 6 year old rottie started to not eat it. So we had to put grated cheese on it, somewhat helpful. So I personally did a taste test with Blue Buffalo. 1st was Blue Buffalo in my mouth that had the same taste threw out the chew from the beginning. I spit it out. 2nd 4 health put in my mouth and it had a pungent more of taste but when I bit it and spit it out instantly it was nasty chemical taste [I mean nasty]. If you don't believe me try it. I have called Diamond Pet Food and have told them my experience. Rottie wolfed down the buffalo food like he was starving to death. I personally will never give the food to my dogs again.

I've been feeding this to my 14 yr old dog and my 2 year old for about 8 months. Before that, they both were on the 4 Health puppy formula. About 6 months ago, the old dog would whimper and whine when he ate and afterward. I thought he had bad tooth. I had the vet look at his teeth, there were no issues. He started barfing foam. A few years back a vet said he had acid reflux and to give him an acid reducer 1/2 hr before he eats. So I started that up. It wasnt helping, so I started mixing some instant potato flakes, cooked rice, a little canned Ole Roy, and milk in with a little dry 4 health. He doesnt cry when he eats now!

Bought this at TS and thought this grain free food would be good for our three dogs. Boy, was I wrong!!! All three usually active dogs are just laying around, have diarrhea and are throwing up. We even have to carry them outside to go potty (if they make it that far). Would never ever buy this stuff again. Pet owners stay away from 4Health dog food!!!

We have sister hounds and thought this brand was the way to go. Early this summer, we noticed both of the girls were not eating typically, their normally firm stools were straight diarrhea. Several times, they had vomiting (white foam included) and explosive diarrhea on more than several of occasions. We changed everything else except their food brand/line (this 4health food). After going round and round with the vets, at LEAST hundreds in vet bills, several rug cleaners, innumerable phone calls, and even tears, in desperation, we changed their food brand/line. THANKFULLY now they are BOTH MUCH better. We will NEVER go back to this line again....EVER. STAY AWAY FROM THIS LINE OF FOOD!
