Kirkland Pet Foods Reviews

Easy to find and get at Costco. Lasts a long time. My dogs don’t really like it but they will eat it if I add broth or cheese to it. Bags are made of paper so they are recyclable. Ingredients could be better however they are better than most on the market.

I had been feeding my Rottweiler American Journey limited ingredient dog food for almost a year. I noticed that the Costco brand was much cheaper so I decided to give it a try. My dog started scratching a lot, but I didn't think much of it. When I started to notice that he continued to scratch himself a lot and was licking himself a lot I thought it was seasonal allergies. I got him a bunch of stuff for allergies and it didn't seem to be getting better. He had a lot of scabbing, hair loss, and he was scratching himself to bleeding point. I thought it might be the food. So I found this site in which many other pet owners are reporting the same type of problem. I'm returning the food and switching him back to his old food.

We have been using Costco’s Nature’s Domain dog food for over 15 years. I have Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and my daughter has a Chihuahua and a small Terrier. My old girl passed away 3 years ago and she was 14 and very healthy to her last days. We use the grain free salmon. All the dogs have great coats, awesome teeth, they don’t fart, they are active and very healthy. People comment how soft their coats are. The vets are amazed how healthy they are. I wouldn’t feed anything else.

Switched to Kirkland's adult dog food for healthy weight. My dogs' weight stabilized and they are very happy and active. They are mid-sized dogs and the kibble size is perfect. They are fed with a continuous auto feeder, so it was the dog food that made the difference.

I have been purchasing Kirkland dog food for years. My dogs have always been very healthy, no upset stomachs, no problems. It is easy to get and inexpensive and works. Plus, my dogs love it and eat it all up.

Value for money in terms of quality and quantity! Unlike other brands, Kirkland keeps our dog fit and healthy. Our dog who is little over 10 years old has great metabolism for his age. Thanks to the Kirkland food.

For the first time, my dog eat the food right away, and trying new dog food, she would always get sick, but when she started on this dog food, she did not get sick.

First ingredients are meat. Kirkland Pet Foods is a high quality food and the price is reasonable. It’s in a class of premium foods but at a discount.

Our lab/pit mix was very picky. I tried everything from raw to cooked meals to other kibbles. He was fed this brand at the rescue so I decided to try it. He now eats at every feeding time and his coat looks beautiful and feels great. Our other two dogs love it too and they look and feel better too. I love this food for our dogs.

I use this food for fosters and my own pets. Cost is fair for a single protein single carbohydrates food. Costco always has the food either online or in warehouse. Nice flavor variety. Itching patchy skin along with licking much improved while using combination of treatments.

It is a good buy and meets the standards of being good for my dog! I have read the ingredients and are comparable to other more expensive named dog food. I use to use Beneful for my Blue Heeler but it has grains in it. I also use PetSmart's Authority if I happen to to a PetSmart store.

Ok so I have 3 dogs and I finally broke down and gave in and purchased the cheap stuff from Costco. BIG MISTAKE! I cannot believe how my dogs behavior changed after 3 days of eating this! He has become overall aggressive. I only have it to my corgi to try out first. He is the overweight dog. He also drank so much water!! He has never needed to drink like he did when he ate this food. I read the reviews and I am taking this back immediately. DO NOT buy the weight management dry food. He is the kindest most loving dog! And I took him on a walk and he was pulling at me to try to attack another dog. He has NEVER done that. His entire personality changed. I can’t believe that this food had that effect on him but it did!! Awful!!

I have read the ingredients now and then over the years but don't truly recall them. I do however trust Costco/Kirkland to be honest about those ingredients and to not knowingly provide a less than healthy product.

It's quality and affordable. I have 2 dogs so it's nice to buy one big bag. I only have to buy a bag every few months. My dogs seem to like it.

My dogs like this food so that is main consideration. I have heard good things about it nutritionally speaking. I get the small breed kibble and can feed all of my different sized dogs the same food.

We feel Kirkland dog food is the best dog food! We have tried others including Blue Buffalo which our dogs did not like. Kirkland has real ingredients not fillers, it has fresh chicken as it main ingredient and egg with garden vegetables, fruits like and herbs plus brown rice.. It contains Pro and dried beet pulp, potatoes, Omega 3 and 6. Glucosamine and Chondroitin, antioxidants plus other vitamins and minerals. I like that we can get a 40 pound bag at the Costco store for a lot less money than other brands. The Kirkland canned dog food which we use as a treat on top of their kibble (Nature's Domain) is also real ingredients, turkey and pea stew. Our dogs LOVE it!

Changed to this brand several years ago and could not believe the difference it made for our dogs. Their coats became better, disposition improved as they seemed much happier all the time, they had more energy, and their fecal matter was noticeably in better condition.

I'd been feeding my dogs Kirkland dry dog food for a year or two. Loved the price and the grain free choices. Both of my dogs, began smelling bad this past winter. And they spend a lot of times swimming in the river and playing outside. Even after shampoos the smell wouldn't go away, it oozed out of their bodies and made my house smell bad. I went back to a more expensive brand I'd used before and the stench left their bodies. Now my worst problem is wet dog smell. Don't think I'll go back to Kirkland, although it will cost me a lot more.

After years of buying this product with my dog eating it happily, something changed in the formulation of the canned Nature's Domain Organic Chicken with Vegetables for Dogs. The first thing I noticed was that the contents poured out rather than requiring a utensil to remove it. What's of concern is that my non-fussy dog took a few bites and has since refused to eat it. I thought it might be just a can or two, but he hasn't touched any from the same case. My cats would try to get to his food before, but sniffed at it and didn't touch it either. I trust their instinct, and if 3 of them responded in the same way, I trust their instinct.

Both of my German Shepherds have been eating this dog food for the last 41/2 to 5 years without an issue. Within the last few weeks my male dog threw up and refused food for four days. I went to the vet and they put him on a wet food. He ate for a few days. I slowly incorporated his dry food back into his diet by mixing the food. He ate it, threw up, had diarrhea, and refused food again for 3-4 days. I have him back on the wet food. My female gained a considerable amount of weight and has been breathing unusually hard over the same two weeks my male has been ill. Nothing has changed in their diet or their environment. I would like to echo what others have said in the most recent reviews here. Something is definitely wrong!

The Kirkland dog food doesn't have all the extra fillers in it, so my dogs don't get tummy aches, no stinky flatulence either. It's a little under $30.00 for a 40 pound bag. Great price, great product and most importantly it has really good ingredients! I think it's better than the brands people spend a lot of money on. I used to use an expensive brand and my dogs would still have the stinky farts. Even purchased it from my vet. Love Kirkland Dog Food!

I bought this dog food for my two labs and my granddog lab after my Dermatologist shared her story about how this dog food helped clear her Labrador’s skin problem. One of my labs and my granddog lab have very bad skin problems and both dogs skin problems have greatly improved after being on this brand for 6 months. They used to eat a high end feed store brand chicken & rice flavor.

Been feeding this same food for over a year, now the latest bag the dog ate one meal from it and became sick, will not touch it now. I can't smell anything different with the food, but there is something very wrong with it. He will eat anything but that food.

I am perplexed why, apparently, only the bad experiences show up here. For 15 years our Schnauzer ate Kirkland Mature Dog with fine results. Now, our three-year-old Schnauzer recently switched from that to the salmon/sweet potato and the results are very pleasing. Costco has not disappointed, again.

We have feed both our German Shepherds Nature’s Domain (red bag) food for years with no problems. Last week my female started getting sick so I decided to switch her food and see if that helped. I left the male on it since he was not experiencing any problems and now he is so sick as well! Something is most definitely going on with this dog food as I’m finding similar reviews from people that are experiencing similar situations!

I have bought Kirkland brand dog food for years, no problems. But this specific food is suddenly making my dogs throw up and have diarrhea - seriously sick. I have 4 dogs, 3 mutts, 1 poodle, it is definitely this variety of Kirkland food, not something else. When I switched them to the regular green sack of Kirkland, vomiting and diarrhea ended.

For this dog food to generate so many comments, there is an obvious problem. I just bought a 30lbs bag. Because my dog ​​is small and the bag will last a long time, I transferred the product in well sealed individual ziplock. I have unfortunately read your comments after the transfer. I only gave him a very small portion, we're not going though any issues. Buy I won't feed my dog with that product knowing that it could make him sick. I won't take the chance. 50 CDN$ down the drain. Going to call Costco and see what they are going to say. But I doubt that they will take back all 8 ziplocks. Just HATE throwing the money away like this. Very disappointed COSTCO.

Bought a bag and both of my dogs were sick for 4 days until I switched their food to another brand. Shih Tzu had uncontrollable diarrhea and threw up once. The Rottweiler would throw up a few hours after every meal. I reported this to the Kirkland vet team, but they said the food had been tested before it went out and blew me off. This is the only thing both dogs were getting that was in common.

My dog was on this brand of food for a few years. Over time she developed hair loss and scabbing around her eyes, inside of her ears, back paw and neck. After several visits to the vet, blood work and biopsies it revealed she had very little zinc in her diet. The food is supposed to contain the required amount of zinc but I don't believe this is true. I've since switched her to a completely different brand of food and her skin is back to normal and her zinc levels are back in the normal range. Stay away from this food!!

I switched over my 2 dogs to Costco’s dog food. After a month my small dog development some health problems, he was having difficulty peeing and became aggressive since he wasn’t feeling good. His bladder ended up being severely infected and needed surgery. Now he is on different dog food and he is back to his happy puppy self. My big dog started getting gassy, his stomach is enlarged, you can tell he doesn’t feel good and is starting to get grumpy like my puppy was. He is also having a hard time breathing and doesn’t want to move. He is completely fine until we feed him, then he takes a turn for the worst. We have tried the dry food and wet food of Kirkland. My suggestion is to stay far away from their dog food.

I began feeding my shepherd Kirkland food and within about 3 weeks he developed severe itching. I assumed fleas, but after flea baths the itching continues to persist. So then did a little research and I read other reviews that detailed itching that match what my dog is dealing with (biting wrist area, severe scratching of belly). It has been 5 weeks since I started him on Kirkland food and he continues to itch. I also noticed he went to the bathroom 2-3 times more than usual... Definitely not worth the savings for bulk food.

We recently got a puppy and the breeder gave us a bag a Nature Domain Puppy Food. Our older dog has been sneaking her food when no one is looking. He has developed a horrible rash on his tummy and the puppy has diarrhea. After reading these complains I now know what is going on. We feed our Dogs NutriSource and have never had a problem. I just wanted to use up this bag from the Breeder before putting the puppy on NutriSource. I now wish I would have switched her right away. Now both dogs are suffering.

Both my Boxer and my Boston Terrier have been on Nature's Domain Turkey Meal and Sweet Potato for 8 consecutive years. In the past year, the Boston Terrier showed signs of cataracts leading to blindness. The Boxer is now showing signs of cataracts. I'm unsure if it's a coincidence, however after doing a little research, I've read blindness has been experienced by other users.

I've used Kirkland dog food for decades. I now have three dogs and about a year ago switched them over to the Kirkland Nature's Domain (I've tried 3 of the 4 varieties). Over the last year, all three dogs have developed major itching to the point where they're now on **. Each dog developed it at a different time and in a varying degree, but all three have it now. Their fur has become dryer and more brittle. It's the only thing that all three encounter that is identical so I have to conclude it's the food. We even took out our grass and put in artificial turf thinking they had a grass allergy. Then recently I also read that the FDA has come out with information that dog food with peas, potatoes and legumes can cause heart disease in some breeds. Nature's Domain contains peas and potatoes.

I decided to switch my dog to this brand of dog food because I like Costco and I know they usually have very high quality products. Well this one caused my dog to have difficulty breathing and to develop an extremely inflamed GI. tract. My dog didn’t develop these problems until she started eating this food. When it first happened I thought maybe she had eaten like a sock or something so I took her to the emergency vet because she was acting as if she was struggling to breathe. That was a $600 vet bill just for X-rays and for some medicine. They said the X-rays showed that she had a very inflamed gastrointestinal tract and there were lots of air bubbles in her stomach. They had me put her on a bland food diet for the next 5 days.

I did some research and found some Diamond pet food reviews with my dog's same exact symptoms. He is a 5 year old Lab. Been on Nature's Domain brand since he was a puppy. But this last bag is when we had problem. He had been showing us his tummy for a while till finally I noticed a rash all over. He is a beach goer so we assumed it was the ocean. He began to be lethargic. Didn't want to eat (he eats everything always). He started throwing up everywhere. Took him to the vet. Everything seemed ok with his labs. Gave him antibiotics. He still was vomiting and had diarrhea. Wasn't himself, no energy, etc. Thought it was the heat. Took him off the food. Gave him chicken and rice. The vomiting and diarrhea stopped but energy was still nothing. Tried to give him the food again but he ate it reluctantly and never finished it. That's when I stopped. Knew something was wrong. He is not as sick but energy level not up to his old self.

I worked at a vet clinic about 4 years, I've seen first hand the destruction some food brands can cause on a dog. I've seen dogs come in on the same day with their kidneys and livers nearly 3 times the normal size... Some weren't fortunate enough to go home and snuggle in their favorite bed with their favorite humans. Again all coincidentally had nothing out of the ordinary happen in their lives other than switching to the same food brand. Luckily it wasn't this Kirkland food brand I am writing about today, although there is only one brand I can name that I have seen dogs have nearly the same reaction to: Kirkland mature dog chicken, rice and egg formula. Now I'm baffled at the owners who said after weeks of their dog eating this product they noticed something different about their dog... That is pure negligence on their part if you ask me because I noticed the negative side effects within moments of my dogs first bowl.

Just had my 8 year old lab mix pass away. She'd been acting a little different these past couple of weeks, we just thought it was the weather or that she was just a little under the weather. Then yesterday she wouldn't walk. We took her to The vet and within 15 min. She went into cardiac arrest. The only change I can think of is that we just purchased a new bag of dog food @3 weeks ago. I've used this food before so didn't think anything of it. But the vet kept asking me if there was anything in our yard she might have eaten or drank. The answer was no, nothing new. Now I'm convinced it had to be her food. Just want others to beware.

For almost twenty years I have fed my dogs the Costco Kirkland Chicken, Rice and Vegetable dog food. It's rated four out of five stars by the independent Dog Food Advisor. All the way up to last year I was also feeding my puppies the Costco Kirkland Chicken, Rice and Vegetable puppy food to my puppies. That is rated 4 1/2 stars out of 5 by the Dog Food Advisor. Unfortunately last year they stopped carrying it at our Costco and they went to their Nature's Domain Puppy Chicken and Pea. Although rated four out of five stars, since that time I have three one year old puppies that I have kept to be hopefully added to my breeding program. They have been on this new puppy food their entire lives along with three litters of puppies sent out to clients that had their puppies raised on it. Many of these breedings have been repeat breedings which previously have had no issues. Until this year.

I recently purchased the Kirkland Signature Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato Dog Food, as a recommendation by my dog's Vet. As I was preparing to scoop a cup, I noticed a white pill inside the bag. This immediately made my heart sink. I read the etching on the pills and it read, **. I looked up the pill, and found it that it is a painkiller, anxiety, chronic pain, and depression for humans. To say the least, I am outraged by the quality control of this company. I will be reaching out to Costco and Nature’s Domain about this issue. I’ve never had an issue with Kirkland products and thought it was a reputable brand. After reading the reviews about this product, I found that dogs were getting sick, losing hair, suffering from dry skin, and blindness. Do not purchase this product for your loved pet.

In Brief: Found dead maggot(s) in can of Kirkland Lamb and Rice dog food when opened new can – Code: KLRD 10:30 - Best by Jan 16th 2020. Called American Nutrition who I am told make and package can dog food for Costco and left a message for someone to call me back, they have not. I took the can in question back to Costco and showed them the maggots. Make sure you check the food as the maggots are easy to miss if not paying attention. Have been using this food for years. I now question is some of my dogs stomach problems may have been caused by bad food.

We've been feeding our dog for about 8 months, the Salmon & Sweet Potato formula. She went blind in February. She was perfectly healthy before this. Anyone else have vision loss after using this brand of food. I'm sick if I caused her to lose her sight because of this!

I have always trusted the Kirkland brand, so when we got our corgi puppy, I switched her over to the Kirkland Nature's Domain puppy food. On this food she was having diarrhea a lot and sometimes bile vomit. The vet found no issues. I did not think it was the food since I thought it was a quality brand. Finally after 3 months on the food, my poor dog was losing hair, had a dull coat, was not wanting to eat, became very lethargic, was losing a lot of weight and vomiting a lot. I decided to do some research on the food at that point since she was not willing to eat it and had a massive throw up incident in the middle of the night on our bed. That is when I found all the terrible reviews for the Nature's Domain food! All the bad reviews had description of the ailments my dog was suffering from. It was an a-ha moment where my dog's behavior all made sense.

I have a purebred Male German Shepherd who is 15 months old. When I was in Costco a few weeks back, I briefly noticed that they (just like SAM's Club) carry their own brand of dog food. I snapped a couple of photos of what I was interested in, compared to what he has been on since he was able to eat dry food, & figured I'd do my research when I got home and decide from there.

We have been using the red bag (Kirkland's Nature's Domain Turkey and Sweet Potato) dry food for several years. A few years ago they weren't carrying it and when I called I was told that they hadn't been able to negotiate a new contract with their supplier. A short time later the grain free became available again and we bought it. I was told it was essentially the same formula. We switched to grain free because our mixed breed dog frequently developed a rash that looked somewhat like prickly heat and she was miserable. A dog breeder we ran into at a pet store told us that her dogs with the same problem did better on grain free food. She was the one that suggested the food at Costco. When we made the switch we gradually added the new food to the old and she made the transition with no problem.

We have been giving our English Mastiff the dry Kirkland brand for 5 years and all was well. When we got a Frenchie we chose to feed her the same food since it was healthy and affordable. Less than a year later she went into liver failure from what we thought was canine hepatitis. She was given a few weeks to live and switched to liver specific food from another brand. To our surprise, she recovered. Not even 6 months later and our Mastiff, who was still eating the Kirkland food, began showing the same symptoms. After several tests it is confirmed that she also is in liver failure. I couldn't believe that both dogs had the same thing even though they were different breeds! After some digging I found all of these terrible reviews and it all makes sense now.

I have 2 dogs who are on Kirkland Domain Salmon and sweet potato and love it. They are healthy, high energy, healthy weight dogs. Their coats are soft and silky. I’m a loyal customer. Bonus on the price of about 60% of compatible brands. The industry reviews online are above average for quality content. One review said “Costco’s hidden gem but not for long.” and I Agree!

First of all, I need to comment on a review from a few weeks ago. Someone rated this food as 1 star because their dog died with a tumor?! Really?! Based on 0 evidence? (Or at least none "presented.") If there are moderators, that review should be removed! Why not blame it on your cleaning products? Or the electrical fields from your iPhone? Or bad vibes? Will the car you drive get a similar review with the same reasons? In any case, the ingredients here look good. I have a family member who has used this a long time. My mutt loves it. My Wheaten terrier, who struggles with any variation in diet, seemed to get an upset stomach more when eating this. Less when we switched off of it.

Nature’s Domain. My hubby bought this blue domain dog food from Costco Burlington Ontario home and said it looks like a really good food. So I Fed the food we usually feed and half blue domain turkey and salmon to My dog 10 years young who has always been healthy, Within 3 hours she started to heave like she wanted to throw up. We just thought she would throw it up. As I sit with her comforting her hoping she would throw up Her stomach blew up bigger than the size of a beach ball and was hard as cement. Then she died in my arms within 35 minutes this all happened. Now it could be a coincidence. I don’t know. But I would never feed this food to something I loved so dearly. I am so heartbroken and miss my old soul. She was a terrific companion. I feel I let her down. I had no time to take her to hospital. It happened so fast.

We’ve used the Kirkland premium dog food for 13 year years on our black lab who passed away this week. We fed him this dog food all his life with the additional dinner scrap every once and a while not often but about 8 years he started to develop tumors. Not saying the food is the cause but who wants to see the tumors pop out but he was in a healthy environment. But I don’t think it helped. Next black lab I have we will go a different food route.

My 16-pound "teacup Rottweiler" loves this food. It's a Healthy Weight dog food and since putting my dog on it, he has lost 3 pounds. He does not eat all in one sitting, her more crazes all day much like a cat would.

Costco is the main seller of Kirkland dog food. Their Healthy Weight Chicken & Vegetable formula is one of the lowest fat content foods on the market. With most other brands our dogs exhibit signs of allergic reactions, but not with this Kirkland formula (and we have tried many others). I wouldn't change if the other foods were free.

Would like the food healthier with less chemicals added, more nutrition, less by-products. All consumers of dog food can now see that it is better off getting dry dog food with higher protein and dried vegetables in it.

My dog eats it with no issues such as stomach or vomiting. It seems to agree with him. Plus I read it is ranked number 4 among mid-priced dog food which is affordable for my budget.

Previously we tried Eukanuba, Blue Buffalo, Purina, and couple of others. But we settled on Costco's "Kirkland Signature Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato" dog food. We currently have two large Airedales (100+lbs each) but previously we have had as many as four at once. These are four-footed family members and we try to do the best for them that we can. (Best care, best food, best vet, best quality of life, etc.).

Dogs think it is okay versus delicious - but Purina give one stomach blisters that does not happen with the highly rated Kirkland. I buy the Healthy Weight version which is probably why they don't love it - but it is definitely healthier.

I went from Purina ONE to Kirkland salmon and found a huge difference in my pup. He does not eat as much to get full and his coat is softer and fuller. He seems to enjoy the food more also.

This highly rated dog food has good ingredients, is very readily available at Costco, is priced very well for the quality, my large Labrador ate this food eagerly. I fed the weight-control blend.

Kirkland brand dog food is a good value. The ingredients are comparable to all premium dog food. My dogs like the flavors salmon & sweet potatoes, Turkey & sweet potatoes & new beef & potatoes. And it has added vitamins & supplements added. They also have a weight management if your dogs are a little pudgy. I stick with the grain free variety but they also have chicken & rice that is even a better bargain. Kirkland dog food is available at Costco. These bags are 35 lbs. So bring your muscles.

Kirkland dog food provides the best ingredients for the price which I can afford. There are many dog foods which cost more but don't provide the better and healthier ingredients for my furry family member.

We started our dogs on the Kirkland brand for weight quite a few years ago. One of our dogs responded to losing a few pounds, however, our other dog did not so we had to start him on Hill's Prescription Metabolic Dry Dog Food.

I choose the grain free selections at Costco which are fabulous nutritionally, my dogs enjoy them and they are 40% less than equivalent other named brands.

Bulk shopping is convenient. And the pricing is always an issue when shopping for dog food but their ingredients are good for the dog. I haven’t been overly particular regarding what I feed them concerning vs what I can afford.

I purchased the food over a week ago and was surprised when my 3 year old, 4 pound Poodle stopped eating Taste of Wild and started eating the larger nuggets Nature's Domain with my 100 pound Rottweiler. She has no problem chewing the larger nuggets. Furthermore, I have not noticed any changes in either dog and I saved money from the more expensive brands...

Best quality dog food and terrific price, compared to any other canned dog food available. Only trouble is that there is no Costco nearby. I have to drive over 60 miles to the nearest store. Then I have to buy several cases of the dog food and store it. That's just OK. Wish Costco had more outlets.

I buy the Kirkland brand dog food because it seems to have the best quality for the value. It is grain free, has all the proteins, fats and other nutrients that keep it competitive with the other top brands such as Blue Buffalo.

13 year old Maltese and two Shih Tzus (3 years old) on diamond naturals for years. We got Kirkland Signature from Costco, the Super Premium Lamb Rice and vegetable. The dogs didn't want to eat the food. It was left uneaten all day and my older dog ate it after I put warm water. My senior dog had seizures two days in a row after two days on the food. His lungs filled with fluid, organs failed, and he died from heart failure a few days after that. My other two dogs are vomiting bile and refusing to eat the food.

Just purchased (11/6/17) Kirkland Nature's Domain Beef/Sweet Potato for the first time for my 14 year old Aussie Shepherd mix & my 6 year old Lab. I'll be returning ASAP. It made my 6 year old sick and had constant diarrhea. She had to go outside every hour to hour & half throughout the night, having diarrhea each time. She only ate this twice in 2 days. I started giving her some cooked chicken by itself and she has been fine now for 24 hours. She has never reacted to any dog food before now. Since this was so extreme for her, I started looking for reviews on this brand and here we are...very scary to hear about all the dogs going to the vet and even dying from this!!! What is going on Costco?!

Nature's Domain Salmon and Sweet Potato Dry food - We have been feeding our pup this since we got him 6 years ago. I was so surprised to see all the negative reviews. He loves his food, never throws up, has normal stools, has the sleekest coat. I highly recommend this dog food - we don't keep it in the bag - we have a large Tupperware tub that holds the whole bag and scoop it out of there twice a day.

Maria of Tamuning's review, dated June 30, 2017 was almost identical to what happened with our Boxer over the past eight days. Have been feeding her this same dog food (Kirkland Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato Dog Food) for 3 years without incident. The last bag, purchased on the 22nd, looked and smelled different than before. Within 48 hours of eating, my dog was vomiting, drinking large amounts of water, very lethargic and no interest in eating.

We were very satisfied in the beginning! Roscoe really enjoyed it at first. It has been folded up and kept in a dry place, just opened it up to scoop some food out for Roscoe and realized theres mold growing on the food?!?! Stated to be good until June 24Th of 2018. Very dissatisfied and wondering any other time I wasn't checking the food prior to feeding my poor baby. Will not be buying this product again. Please check your food prior to feeding your precious babies.

I have tried Kirkland canned dog food twice now. Once when we first adopted our dog a few months ago from a rescue and just recently. Our dog likes the taste and eats it right up, but it causes him to have very loose stools and stomach upset. The first go round I figured it was because he had spent two weeks in the shelter and would settle down. We tried a few other brands and settled on one that has worked well. We ran short on food and still had almost a full case of Kirkland so I fed him twice today and he again had watery stools and also puked. Fortunately Costco has a generous return policy. I will return the food for a store credit and then go back to the other brand. The dog food may work well for other dogs, but our dog must be reacting to something in the food, maybe the brewer's yeast? If your dog has a sensitive stomach beware.

We recently adopted a senior Pug that we have known for years. Her previous owner thoughtfully bought a 40lb bag of this food (Kirkland Salmon and Sweet Potato Dog kibble). I assumed it was her regular diet, but she doesn't like it. As our other two Pugs were used to sweet potato and salmon kibble from a more expensive brand, we transitioned all three dogs to it. They weren't eating well so I started making food for them. That got old and expensive, so I started mixing the Kirkland food with what I made. As I began to increase the kibble, one dog threw up repeatedly and her stomach growled for hours.

I had a healthy 11.5 yr old Border Collie who would still run 6 to 20 kms with me each day. Also a 4.5 yr old Great Dane x Cane Corso. I was told by a guy at work that Kirkland dog food was good and less expensive. So I looked it up said 5 out of 5 stars and same ingredients. So I thought great I'll save money. Big mistake. Within 2.5 weeks both dogs started acting different. Wouldn't eat. Wouldn't run as far.

My dog is getting on in years now, and needs good nutrition, so I compared ingredient labels between Kirkland and the more expensive brands sold by veterinary services. Observing a match, it's a simple case of Kirkland being fairly close to half the price of the more expensive veterinary brand.

Nature's Domain beef and sweet potato dog food. We have been using this brand for our St. Bernard and our little Havanese for about 5 years now. We purchased a bag on Friday 08/04/2017. Gave them their morning feeding Monday, within 1/2 hour, the St. Bernard puked all over the place, all the food, water, everything. We immediately switched them to boiled rice and beef, the vomiting stopped immediately. Tuesday evening, since the 'illness' seemed to pass, I started mixing in A 1/2 CUP of the food to the rice/beef mixture. Diarrhea commenced within a 1/2 hour after eating the dry dog food. I woke up this morning, and he had vomited the dog food all over the bedroom floor. We will immediately stop purchasing this dog food and pray we get a refund. My poor babies. I guess you actually get what you pay for.

It is rated 4 stars on the dry kibble and 5 stars for the canned by DogFoodAdvisor.com. (5stars is their highest rating.) Lowest price for a quality dog food that I have found.

Salmon and sweet potato grain free dog food - We used to get Taste of Wild food but went to Costco as the content of their dog food seemed to be the same as Taste of Wild! It is at least $30 cheaper! My dog got so sick I had to take her to the vet! $200 later and antibiotics now special food! I don't think we will buy Kirkland anymore, would rather spend a little more money and have a healthy dog!

Kirkland Signature Salmon and Sweet Potato exp date 5/18/2018. A couple of days after opening a new bag of the aforementioned food and feeding my dogs, one dog threw the food up the next morning and threw up sticky phlegm after her stomach was empty and stopped eating, was lethargic and had to be fed water. She would not take any other treats that she normally rushes to eat. Her hair was shedding at an alarming rate. The second dog followed with the same issues the next day. By this time the first had to be admitted to the clinic for 4 days to be fed intravenously. Various tests showed she had kidney and liver problem and her liver enzymes were off the chart. She is currently on pills to control the liver damage. Both dogs were on anti-nausea and appetite stimulants. I now make food for the dogs.

Fed my dog Purina pro dog food then switched to Kirkland brand dog food. After a few weeks she couldn't go the bathroom. Took her to the vet and they did x-ray's and she was filled with bladder stones. Surgery was performed. The only thing that was different was the change of dog food. At that time we did not know that it was the food that was causing the issue so continued to feed my dog Kirkland brand. 8 months later she had to have surgery again for bladder stones. The vet at that time told us to take her off the Kirkland food so we did. Went back to her original food and had follow-up x-rays performed three times and there were no stones! Will never feed my dog this food again and I suggest that no one else does either! Happy we were able to find out the problem before something worse happened!

Our 9 month old Great Dane was switched to Kirkland's Nature Domain Turkey and Sweet Potato about a month and a half ago and about a month ago she started getting bumps on her face like pimples. Took her to the vet. They said it was a bacteria infection - gave us antibiotics. Two and a half weeks ago she started pushing her food away and would not eat it. She went from 8 cups a day to 3... We didn't get it, thought it was the infection etc. Then last week she was lethargic, not active, then stopped drinking water. We took her to the vet. They had to inject her with water, antibiotics. They don't know what's wrong, lymph nodes are swollen, now testing for cancer? Took her home. I thought she was going to die... It was awful.

When I was last at Costco they no longer carried the Greenies brand of dog chews which I have given my dog for a couple years. I assumed the Kirkland brands were the same. This was a bad assumption! My dog got very ill and it took me about a week to realize it was from the Kirkland Chews. She very quickly got ill! She was both vomiting and had green slime diarrhea. She ended up at the vet getting fluids and anti-nausea medicine. We removed the Kirkland dental chews and now she is fine. It took a few days to clear her system. DO NOT give these to your beloved dog!

After reading all of the complaints/incidents of sick and dying dog, I am convinced that this dog food caused 2 of our healthy dogs to get cancer. We have never had a dog die prior to the age of 14 and these two were healthy until I switched to the Kirkland "Nature's Domain" brand dog food because it was more reasonably priced and the ingredients seemed healthy. PLEASE don't feed your animals any of this disgusting crap.

I had been giving my two dogs Earthborn grain free dog food for years with no problems, very healthy, healthy fur and full of energy. I decided to try Kirkland's grain free because it was less expensive. BIG mistake. My dogs have been on it for two months. They recently stopped wanting to eat it and started vomiting and having diarrhea off and on, are lethargic and not themselves. The ONLY thing that change was the dog food.

I bought the Kirkland Nature's Domain Turkey and Sweet Potato around December, 2016 then the Salmon and Sweet Potato dog food around January, 2017. I thought I was doing a good thing for my dog, buying this high quality food for him; boy was I wrong! I regret that it took me so long realize that this dog food might be causing these issues. First in mid-January my dog (a healthy Brittany) started having eye problems. The glands in his eyelids were so swollen that while we were at the vet's office he started bleeding from the eyes! That was horrible and led to a month's worth of antibiotics, both oral and ointment, and a visit to the vet eye specialist who diagnosed it as blepharitis, probably an allergy. I thought it was related to stuff the homeowner's association put on the grass, so I kept my dog indoors most of the time.

I am involved in pet rescue therefore have dogs of different breeds and different ages. I switched to Kirkland's Nature's Domain Turkey Meal and Sweet Potato due to the bad publicity that Beneful was receiving. (Rather than wait for a problem, I decided to be proactive to avoid a problem.) Sadly, switching caused the very problem that I was trying to avoid. After being on the food for eight months, four of my dogs have had bloody, gel like, loose stools. The excrement is bloody and very foul in smell (not a normal odor). These same dogs have been eating grass and have since refused to eat their food. A person had donated IAMS food to me therefore I decided to feed the dogs exhibiting these symptoms the IAMS rather than the Nature's Domain, to see if it would alleviate the gastrointestinal problems.

We have a purebred pitbull terrier who has been eating the Kirkland puppy food chicken and rice formula for 4 months now. He seemed to be doing OK on this formula, until we had purchased a second bag and started noticing pretty alarming symptoms in our pup. He started becoming very depressed, followed by lack of energy. We had just had a new baby, and assumed he might have been feeling a little left out.

Per the above negative reviews, the original recall was in 2012. The recalled dog food has been off the shelves for several years now. I can tell you I have two dogs, a German wirehaired pointer & a short haired pointer, both eat the Kirkland Signature Domain Turkey & Pea stew in the red can. I mix it with the Kirkland Signature healthy weight dry food, use a 3-1 ratio of wet to dry. They love the food, and flatulence doesn't seem to be as much as a problem as there was with other brands (well at least for one of them). Anyway as we all know, all dogs are different & react different, but I would say, if you're hesitant to try the brand because of the 2012 recall, don't be. I hope the helps.

I want to know if any ingredients come from China! I would switch the food types around - all being the Kirkland's Nature's Domain. First salmon, then turkey, then beef because I know that switching them up can help if a dog has skin problems which we were trying to sort out. He was on Nature's Domain for two years. When I ran a search online for reviews of the beef today, it is now completely gone from the Costco website which makes me wonder why. When the vet had me put him on a vegetarian diet a month ago, his hair around his eyes and the latest skin problem filled in nicely. He was accidentally fed some Nature's Domain on an out of town trip recently. Two weeks later I noticed his lymph glands were huge. I took him to the vet and now he's got cancer. I'm now feeding him chicken breast with a tiny bit of brown rice and that's it. I don't trust these dog food makers anymore. I love Costco but this is horrible.

Nature's Domain Beef and Sweet Potato dog food - I have a Westie I began feeding this dog food to. I had always fed him Science Diet but was trying to find something less expensive so I switched to Kirkland's brand. Big mistake. After a few weeks on it my poor boy began having stomach issues, itchy skin and dragging his bottom on the carpet several times a day. Vet said it was the grains in the food making his bottom itch, thus the rubbing it on the carpet. Completely grossing me out! Needless to say I switched his food back.

I have been feeding Kirkland Signature food and Nature's Domain food from Costco for over 10 years. I show and breed Bernese Mt. Dogs and Portuguese Water Dogs. Previously, they were one of the best foods on the market. All of my dogs were doing very well with healthy weight and shiny coats. In 2016, something changed. I have a 6 year old PWD with irritable bowel and extremely thin. This cost me a vet bill of over $5,000.00. I had to start cooking food for her to get her through. Anytime she gets a hold of the kibble, she starts to vomit again.

We had two Goldens, my male started having digestive issues and my vet recommended switching to Salmon and Sweet Potato formula. I feed my dogs the same food. It did seem to help my male with his issues but my female just passed away today. I don't know if there could be a connection to her feed or if it was her age? She was 9 years old. Now wondering if I need to have the food tested?

This is by far the best food we have ever given our dogs. Have been feeding 3 dogs, one has since passed, and have never had any issues and the dogs love it. Their stools are always firm and they can't wait for meal time. I have friends who spend so much money on raw and specialty foods and it seems they are always at the vet with some issue. I will always stick to the turkey and sweet potato because it has been great for so long. I can't recommend enough.

I have been feeding Nature's Domain pet food to my 5 yo and 1 yo dogs their whole lives, and our 5 yo cat, and they love it! I constantly get compliments on how soft their coats are, the vet always compliments me on their weight and they are really good looking dogs (lab and catapult breeds, both about 45 lbs.). I use the turkey can food for a special gravy treat, which I warm with warm water. When I go to the pet store, I look at the prices of regular Diamond pet foods, and snicker that I get their bags for almost half the price. I honestly think this is the best pet food for them, and wanted to share, since I have been feeding it to them for so long, and raised both my dogs from 8 weeks old, and they are so healthy!

Wow... just realized that EXACT same time, 2 years ago, also had problem with Diamond/Kirkland dog dry food. That is odd... Anyway, same thing: bought 2 bags of Kirkland Chicken and Rice in September. No problem. Bought 2 bags of Kirkland Chicken and Rice this November--dogs all have diarrhea. I have a pit x 18 month old. She is foaming and diarrhea all night. I will take her to the vet asap. The non-Costco/Tractor Supply Diamond Chicken and Rice (same formulation? Different batch?) I bought in October since I live so far away from Costco... no problem with that one.

Kirkland Beef & Sweet Potato dog food - This food was on sale and it looked healthy so I tried it on my 5 year old papillon/shepherd mix. After about a week or so I noticed a lot of panting and hypersensitivity/yelping from my dog. I just took the food back and bought his old food pedigree. I hope he'll be ok.

I have been feeding my dogs Kirkland Weight Management (grey bag) dog food for a few months now. My female dog started putting on weight, so I cut back the amount she given. Over the past week she a dog that hadn't had an accident in the house since she was about 6 months old suddenly had 3 very large accidents in the house. Her breathing became labored. She became very lethargic. Next she started vomiting water & white foam. She was drinking a lot of water but it wouldn't stay down & she stopped eating.

I have been a loyal Costco shopper since they established in Las Vegas, NV. I rescued our German Shepherd, Bosco, when he was just 9 months old. I fed him Kirkland's Lamb & Rice from the day I brought him home in 2005 until March 2016. As he got older he was not running with me anymore and started to get heavy. He also ate extremely fast. I was advised by a breeder/trainer to put him on a diet, so I switched him to Costco's Nature's Domain grain free (red bag) and used a maze bowl to slow down his food consumption. By July his weight was down substantially. I thought the diet was working.

Hey people wake up. The dry dog food you giving your dogs is spoiled... Why because these stores do not rotate their food, they don't sell the food fast enough it just sits. I had the same issue with my 2 dogs… Buy your food from a pet store, Petland Discounts, etc… They sell the food faster it does not sit in the warehouse in the heat!!!

Our German Shepherd has been eating Kirkland Nature's Domain Salmon kibble for approximately 1 year with no issues. He is an EPI dog (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) which in a nutshell means his pancreas does not produce the enzymes necessary to digest food, therefore, he must have a pancreatic enzyme supplement with each feeding.

Five of my dogs have been on Kirkland Natures Domain salmon and sweet potato for at least 6 years. Two of my dogs have horrible allergies (I'm talking ear infections monthly, skin infections monthly, etc). After I switched from an allergy free food that cost $100 for a 30 lb bag to Natures Domain salmon, we had no more skin or ear infections! The ONLY concern I have ever had was three of my older dogs seemed to develop fatty lumps all at the same time, but that could just be a coincidence because of their age.

I was both relieved and alarmed when my google search for "allergies to Kirkland dog food" resulted in this page! I had a hunch it was this particular food that was causing our lab's issues and after reading everyone's posts, I am very concerned. My dog has been suffering with a sudden onset of food allergies for about 6 weeks now - vomiting but mostly really bad diarrhea. We have been with the vet, running tests, on the phone, trying everything we could think of to solve this issue. Previously, my 8 yr. old lab ate everything and anything - no issues.

I've had my 2 year old on the same dog food from Costco since he was a baby. Starting early September 2016, he started experiencing vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions, and lethargy. Spent over 2k on testing, everything came back normal. Switched him off this stuff and within 24 hours he was better. The dog food for August and September 2016 is bad. There's nothing wrong with it as there are hundreds of the same bad reviews.

We have been feeding Kirkland Natures Domain dog food (blue bag) for a few years with no issues. This past month (October 2016), it started giving two of our three dogs horrible digestive issues. We took them off of it after a few days of explosive diarrhea 3-5 times a night and throughout the day. It would pour out of them and they lost a few pounds. $150 in vet bills doing stool samples and exams. The vet said one other person had been in complaining of issues with the same food in the past week. We switched to a chicken and rice diet and the digestive issues cleared up immediately, aside from my dogs poor raw butt. We took the half used bag and another full bag back to Costco and were refunded in full. Never buying this junk again. Beware.

My 7 year old Westie was on the same food his whole life but we decided a few months ago to give Kirkland food a shot since we love all of their products. The first bag was the Salmon Flavor, and we had no issues so we bought another bag of Kirkland, this time Turkey Grain Free. Within a week or 2 of him starting it he started throwing up and having Diarrhea. It has progressed over the last week and a half and he hasn't eaten even one bite of food in 8 days and he drinks very little water. He barely walks now. I returned the Costco food and bought him his old food but he's still not eating. I have tried giving him everything I can think of, things he usually goes crazy for.

My 9.5 year old Great Dane had been eating Kirkland Lamb and Rice for 6+ years without any issues. On 9/27/2016 I purchased another 40lb bag at Costco in Laguna Niguel CA (Cabot location). Within 2 days he had diarrhea really, really bad. Prior to this he had not been ill for at least 5 years. I started him on a rice and boiled chicken diet and after 7 days he was back to normal. On the 8th day I mixed in 1 cup of Kirkland Lamb and Rice (same bag) and within 10 minutes the diarrhea started again.

I have 3 dogs on the Kirkland Natures Domain and occasionally the lamb and rice. They have been on it their entire lives. In September my cats who are on the Kirkland maintenance cat food and my 3 Labradors all refused to eat... The dogs were on the Natures Domain Yellow bag at the time. One of my dogs has never recovered. He stopped eating and drinking, going on 4 weeks now. I have had him to the College and a private Vet, no abnormalities. He just will not eat and drinks little. IV fluids and some bits of chicken and ground beef occasionally. I am trying to nurse him along but he is not improving. After reading these reviews and some outside stories, I would STOP FEEDING KIRKLAND pet foods.

After reading all of these reviews I'm just feeling terrible now. My dog was on a higher end dog food or home cooked dog food for about the first 6-7 years of her life, but we then switched to the Kirkland brand Nature's Domain. She primarily got the chicken or turkey blend. Right before she turned 9 she had a vet emergency and was eventually diagnosed with a liver tumor. I was able to sustain her miraculously for 3.5 more years using mostly homemade food and natural medicine.

On same food for years, he is 3 now, no prior issues. This last Aug, Sept 2016, and even after switching food, testing done food allergies switched to numerous kinds foods, still same issue. Is there any good food for food allergies???

We were feeding our Lab Kirkland's Nature's Domain Grain Free Turkey and he began getting very ill. After spending $500 at the vet to learn they could not find a problem with him, we switched his food and he has been great. Now we are watching my daughter's dog who has been profusely vomiting for 4 days only to learn the food she left with us is the same food! She has also spent $500 on vet bills to find "nothing wrong". Is Costco trying to kill our dogs? Why aren't they recalling this product and warning people?

To start with, my cats hate this cat food. They like everything, but I have to trick them to eat it. Today, the wet food had a large, about 2 inch by 1 inch piece of plastic in it! This is horrifically unacceptable.

Unbelievable that COSTCO has allowed this horrific situation to continue for what looks like almost a year, without warning customers/issuing an immediate recall and responding at the very last with an offer to reimburse vet bills and compensation for emotional distress and the loss of a beloved pet. This is an appalling example of more corporate greed. One person mentioned that in Europe, the company would have been shut down, at least until it was inspected. America is under corporate rule. My little Maltese whom I rescued a few months ago, had the dry heaves several times weekly. Then the vomiting began. Watery eyes, with discharge. Yesterday she vomited up lots of bile. I got online and this page popped right up. I wondered why she always seemed to eat the Kirkland food very reluctantly. Our dog do know this nasty, fatal secret. Class action, anyone?

I have been purchasing Taste of the Wild dog food for more than 3 years without complaint. July of 2016 I purchased the Lamb and Venison Bison Taste of the Wild Dry Dog Food, in Wisconsin, and discovered webbing and worms in multiple bags. I returned them and the store I purchased them from opened multiple bags and found webbing and worms! I called their distribution center and they discovered webbing and worms in multiple bags!

I purchased the Sweet Potato and Turkey Nature's Domain from our Costco in October. I did not feed it to my 4-year-old yorkie mix until April of 2016. She was on Nature's Choice most of her life and did great on it. However, it was getting a little pricey because we went from a double income to a single income, and I generally love Kirkland products. After researching the ingredients, I went ahead and gradually mixed it into her diet. She was a healthy, pampered, well-exercised, very loved dog. One evening in May, a couple hours after eating her dinner, she started screaming/yelping, and came running down the stairs. We thought she might have been electrocuted because of the way she was seizing, eyes bloodshot and bulging out of her head. We drove straight to the emergency vet and she died in the car on the way there, about 15 minutes later.

I just wanted to say that I have fed my dogs the lamb & rice as well as the mature brand for years and never had a problem. My last three dogs lived to be 11, 12 and 12 1/2 years and all past away due to old age. I have fed all my cats the Kirkland premium as well as the feral cats & kittens and no problems. I got on this site because I was going to change the dog's food to grain free, but looks like I'll stick to what's working well at the present. I will say that my neighbor did buy her dogs the salmon and sweet potatoes brand and her three dogs are no longer with us today.

We fed my 7-year-old Golden Retriever Nature's Domain food consistently for six years. I opted for the food based on Costco's reputation, the manufacturer and content. Two months ago, she stopped eating it very suddenly. She tried different flavors and finally two weeks ago, stopped eating the food again. She could barely walk and would only lay on the rug in our hall. Normally, she's a typical Golden and is bouncing off the walls. We rushed her to the vet to find out - after extensive testing - that she has acute renal failure and will now have to be on a modified diet and medicine for the rest of her life. She's only 7 and has been in great health prior to this incident. Our vet said he believes the damage is most likely due to her food. She never snacked and largely an inside dog. By process of elimination, we've determined it was Nature's Domain as it's the only thing she eats.

After moving to Phoenix, we decided to switch our three standard poodles to Kirkland's dog food from Canidae. Prior to switching our dog's health was impeccable! Only 2 months after switching to Kirkland, our two females went for their physical and their liver enzymes were off the charts. Two days later, our 2.5 year old female was found dead in the back yard. The only thing we have done differently was switch them to Kirklands. We are having a necropsy done, if the food is associated in any way I will be going to the media.

We switched to this two years ago and within three months our dog's saliva turned brown and stained his fur and everything he touched. After taking him off this within three months it cleared up again. He also had a cancerous lump removed from his tongue during this period. Could be coincidence but with the brown staining we wonder. Be very cautious using this product.

I didn't know that 4Health, sold by Tractor Supply, was made by Diamond. I was out of Purina 1 so I bought 4Health lamb and rice small bites on 7/25/16. Came back from vacation on 7/31/16 and saw my ten yr old shepherd throw up. It continued till she was hospitalized on 8/4/16. She wasn't responding to IVs, antibiotics, steroids etc and transferred her to large hospital on 8/8/16. She had quit eating and became very weak. The new vet did everything she could think of including an $835 transfusion. They could not understand what had caused her liver failure so fast. $2000 later and she died last night. When I read these reviews I was shocked and I talked to the Diamond vet this morning. She is going to try for an autopsy on my shepherd. My other two dogs have shown no signs of illness but they're younger. I ran to the store for Purina 1 last night.

Had my 9 year old lab die from liver failure and within 6 weeks my 8 year old cat died from the same thing. Only thing in common was feeding them Kirkland Brand. Premium Maintenance Cat Food and Nature's Domain Salmon and Sweet Potato Dog Food. Needless to say we are throwing away the remaining food since two of our dogs have survived this. We don't want to take any chances. Our vet agreed to submit a letter to Costco, if they get enough complaints they will have to investigate.

A few years ago I had an issue with Kirkland Signature Weight control blend bought at the Costco in Eugene, OR after years of feeding bags of it bought from a Costco in Independence, MO. My lab mix started drinking excessively, his urine became dark and eventually blood started showing up in it. He had a severe UTI which is very rare for a neutered male to get. After some research, I discovered that Kirkland dog foods commonly cause this. I stopped feeding it and switched to Blue Buffalo Healthy Weight and he immediately stopped overdrinking and became a lot better. Again, these are the symptoms/issues he displayed: overdrinking, excessive urination, producing little urine, dark urine, blood in urine, anxiety/distress.

Ok I'm shocked to see bad reviews on these items. I have been a boarding kennel owner operator for years. First I'll start out saying that My loved Staffordshire terrier Tara ate Costco Lamb and Rice, the dark green bag for years. She lived to be 18 years old. My vet said she forgot to die! My Pomeranian (someone never picked up from my kennel) was on Kirkland lamb and rice and his groomer told me I should put him on small breed Natural balance dry food. I thought maybe I should. He was only 10 pounds. In 24 hours he had a full blown allergic reaction. Ran him to the vet in the middle of night. His intestines were swollen... after 1500.00 bill, x-rays, and an overnight stay, I asked Dr. ** what do I feed this little guy. HE SAID "COSTCO LAMB & RICE." I said "You're kidding me." That is the only thing I will feed him. The reaction was 7 years ago no problem since.

I write this with a heavy heart. June 30, 2016 My husband and I had to put our 10 year Dachshund Dottie to sleep due to Congestive heart failure and organ failure. I found these reviews too late. We live in Arizona. Back in April my husband and I purchased Kirkland Signature Salmon dog food for our 2 dogs. Dottie (mentioned above) and Nash our 8 year old Ridgeback Hound mix. Both of these dogs were extremely healthy and had gotten a clean bill of health from their Vet checks in Jan. About 10 days after eating the food is when we started to notice them getting ill. At first we thought it was due to us putting fertilizer down in our backyard for summer grass. We would remove them from the food, give them boiled chicken or beef and rice. They would get better then return to being ill. Dottie much worst than Nash. I believe because she was smaller.

I've been feeding a miniature schnauzer and Pit Bull Nature's Domain for approximately 2 years. I purchased a new bag last week - July 20, 2016. Schnauzer starting throwing up, watched him for 2 days as he became lifeless and rushed him to the vet. $1100 visit - blood tests, x-rays, IV's. He is slowly gaining strength but not out of the woods yet. So, tonight, July 24th, the pit bull starts throwing up and eating grass like he had gone crazy. He s going to the vet tomorrow with the schnauzer. The food is going back to Costco. I sure would like to have Diamond pay that bill! I will definitely let Costco know when I return it, that they should pull it off the shelves, but they probably won't listen.

This food made both our Corgi's extremely ill. They were both vomiting and having diarrhea. One is barely eating at this point. The only change we've made is to this brand about a week ago, specifically the beef and sweet potato batch purchased at Costco at the end of June 2016. Both dogs are nine months old and were healthy prior to the change to this dog food. I don't normally post reviews, but please beware of this brand. Our sweet boys are having a terrible time, and now they have to go on their least favorite trip - to the vet. I just hope they're going to be okay. Save your dog and buy anything else.

I switched my 6-month-old puppy to the Nature's Domain Turkey Meal & Sweet Potato grain free as a slightly cheaper option for grain free food. She did well after her first bag (about a month of use) so I bought a second bag. After about a week/10 days after starting the new bag, she began to refuse to eat this food (would eat other food) and then about 13 days after starting this food, she began vomiting and having diarrhea. Took her to vet (other dog who's on diff food also refusing to eat and having issues) and while we discovered a parasite, vet still had concern food may be an issue exacerbating things.

My son's dogs and our dogs are related but live in two different homes. During the same period of time our dog became violently sick from Kirkland dog bones. He experienced four days of shuddering, like a seizure and had us so concerned for the pain he was going through that we consider having him put down. Our son's dog had the same experience and after $1,000 of veterinary cost all they could point a finger at was Kirkland dog food. Note: I know my next statement is going to upset most of you readers; nevertheless, I strongly believe it true.

I have had the exact experience of others. My Lab was used to the Salmon, then we started her on Turkey, then she started puking up, until it was only bile for about 6 days! She stopped eating her food (poison) on about day 2. We thought she ate 'something else weird' so we're just waiting for her to get better. She felt ill and was lethargic and dying actually. Then on day 6 my husband gave her some other dog food and she ate it fine and has been getting better FAST.

I recently ordered 2 bags of Kirkland Signature Nature's Domain Dog Food (turkey flavor) from Jet.com. While I didn't notice anything visibly wrong with the first bag, my dog threw up a few times which was unlike him since he's been fed Nature's Domain for 2 years. He also developed swelling in his nose which is being treated by antibiotics as a sinus infection, but the vet said it could be much worse. Last evening I opened the second bag and it was FILLED with mold (see pictures). I don't think it's a coincidence that my dog got sick after a few days of eating this food that came from Kirkland. I'm praying that this can be fixed with some medicine.

I recently switched my dog's food from Nature's Domain Sweet potato and Salmon to Lamb and rice. Within 2 1/2 weeks, I had to put my lab down. He was lethargic and not eating much. His lab work was all over the place and his kidneys were swollen. He went into renal failure and I had to have him put to sleep. Do not buy this. Have never had a problem before. Have they changed manufacturers?

I bought Costco's Diamond Nature's Domain, sweet potato and turkey dog food, last week, mid June 2016. (This is my puppy's 2nd type of dog food.) She is 6 months old. After eating this food for 4 days, she started throwing up bile for 3 days and wouldn't eat. At the same time she had soft bloody stools. Poor pups been lethargic for days. So here is the kicker, I had no idea it was the food till today! I gave her a bite of some other food around and she woofed it! She was starving. She is regaining her energy now! But I am off to Costco to file a report, no one has yet at this store. But it looks like, at other stores they have. I hope, people will report it before any other loved ones get sick too! They say it is the only way to control their products' integrity.

My dog has really bad diarrhea with blood in the stool from eating Kirkland Dog Biscuits. I have read numerous reviews on Amazon and other sites where people have reported that their dog got sick from them - with severity ranging from vomiting and diarrhea to near death experiences. I am certain Kirkland biscuits are the culprit - here's why: Fremont Brewing Company in Seattle is dog-friendly and gives these dog biscuits to visiting pets. On three separate occasions my dog has gotten diarrhea after eating them, but I did not figure out it was the biscuits until this weekend, when he ate 2 of them. Now he has very SEVERE diarrhea with bleeding. No change in diet or other explanation other than Kirkland Dog Biscuits.

I recently started switching my mastiff to the Nature's Domain beef dog food from Costco, and she has been experiencing severe kidney issues. This is the only major change in her diet, so I've taken her off of the food. Is anyone else having similar issues?

We decided to try the Nature's Domain from Costco with our 4 dogs. We generally mix with two grain free, soy free and corn free products. It was a gradual blend to include the Kirkland's Nature's Domain and quickly one dog acted like she had a allergy sensitivity. She has NEVER had diarrhea before, but it happened. I took her off the blend thinking it was her breed. Diarrhea stopped. The next one started to have issues, he's never really had too much of a problem. I took him off the new blend. Diarrhea stopped. The other two seemed to be happier and much more energetic. I continued to keep them on the new blend, thinking the other two were only having a reaction to type of food. Then the next one started and he always has bouts of diarrhea. All he has to do is look at any cheese or rich meat and he gets diarrhea. Just in case I took him off the new blend. Diarrhea stopped.

My 7-month-old lab mix just got very sick from eating the Nature's Domain Turkey kibble. He was throwing up bile and had diarrhea. He was on this food for a couple of months. Don't feed your dog this food. It is poison. I am in contact with Diamond and Costco to let them know of the issue. I am in California and so far fecal test was negative and the vet couldn't make a diagnosis. Interesting fact as I stopped feeding him this food he improved slowly and all vomiting and diarrhea stopped.

This is our second bag of this dog food. First one was fine, so we bought a second. Our two dogs (lab/hound mixes) have horrible diarrhea. Beware.

I am not impressed with either Costco or the company (Diamond Pet) that manufactures this food. After 6 weeks of running back and forth to the vet with a dog (with diarrhea and vomiting) we believe this dog food is the issue. Our vet has come to this conclusion with all the evidence we have at this point. Our dog has been on other brands (Acana) and has been on a diet of lean beef and rice to settle her digestion. I get the feeling that no one wants to do much after filing an incident report but blame it on my dog's sensitivity to something. Personally I feel that it is likely some kind of chemical contamination in the food. Either way I am turned off of both companies as they appear to be more concerned about diffusing the issue than really investigating it. I recommend people file an incident report. Too many of those and they can't ignore it. We may have spent over $500 but we still have a lovely dog... other people might not be so lucky.

My husband purchased this for our dogs. Our black lab has had horrible diarrhea. Our golden retriever had a bloated belly and horrible gas. These other reviews are accurate. Please do not use this brand.

Same as a few reviews. My dog got violently ill after eating this food! He threw up nonstop, was lethargic, did not want to drink, go for walk or leave our side! We thought maybe he had cancer. He looked depressed and lost all his happy go lucky strike! We become suspicious since we just bought this bag a couple days ago! Also we had gone through a similar experience with Chicken Dog treats (Costco, but make in China) - he also became ill! Same situation, someone mentioned that their Pets died of Kidney failure after eating those treats. I came to this site, and saw that a few pets became sick after eating Kirkland's dog food. We consequently removed the food, and magically our dog is improving.

I wish I did not have to give this food any stars. Please do not feed your dog ANY food that is made by this company. I went from having an extremely healthy and happy mastiff pup (boerboel) to caring for an extremely sick one overnight. The onset of illness was pretty sudden. I put him through multiple vet visits, rounds of medication, emergency room visits (and more), before finally making the connection that the food (Natures Domain kibble) he was consuming was poisoning him. In the beginning, I noticed a sudden lack of interest in his food.

Our 7 month old has gotten very sick. Vet is stumped. All the tests are not giving answers, but his white, red and platelets are very low. We just started to give him this food a week ago. He got really sick 2 days later. Wondering if there is a connection!

I just returned from the vet, without my Beagle, Tank. For the past month or so I have been feeding him Kirkland Signature dry dog food. He was not really happy eating it but did so when he was hungry enough. Two days ago he began vomiting and stopped eating the dog food until I doctored it up. Yesterday morning I purchased a much better dog food from a pet store and it looked like this solved the eating problem. But sad to say the dog again vomited it all up within a few minutes. Thinking his stomach was only tender I did not worry. When I came home last night Tank refused treats and food.

I feel so horrible that it took me so long to put two and two together. I have been feeding my dog Kirkland Dog food for a few years but I am positive this last batch was poison. She developed horrible gas to the point it was hard to snuggle and be near her, developed diarrhea, she was starting to get lethargic and finally puked after eating before I decided to get new food for her. Within a few days of eating the new food and off the poison she is starting to act normal and with less gas.

Nature's Domain Dog Food, Turkey and Salmon Dry dog foods - We purchased a bag of each of these dog foods in January. We buy bags before we run out so I'm not sure of the exact date they started on these bags but my huskies don't want to eat it. I wondered if maybe they changed the formula. They usually are not this fussy. I bought a different brand within the last week and was going to contact Costco to find out if there are any recalls or formula changes to explain their behaviour. After reading other comments I'm wondering if the dogs are smart and know something is wrong with it.

First of all, difference every kind of Kirkland Pet Food in your reviews. I've tried 2 different kind with my Border Collies, first of two: Kirkland Signature Nature's Domain Salmon Meal & Sweet Potato, was great, smooth and shiny hair, firm feces, and not a single side effect; before that, I've been buying Pro Plan Sensitive Skin (as an advice from my vet for better hair), and with Nature's Domain get the same nice effects with significant savings. Second: Kirkland Signature Puppy Food, was ok, but didn't get the same results in my puppy, so I switch to PP Sensitive Skin Puppy, and when she grow up, will feed with Nature's Domain.

I purchased a 40 pound bag of Kirkland Lamb and rice dog food from Costco just one time. I normally buy a different brand but thought I'd give it a try because it was cheaper. Worst mistake ever. My 8 year old mastiff/pitbull mix, had 2 cups and 6 hours later, at 2 am; he was in a full grand Mal seizure. Over the following 6 hours he had 2 more. When I got him to the vet he had another. After full blood work the vet could find nothing wrong with him except that I had changed his food. He had another seizure right there before I could leave. The vet gave him an anti inflammatory and a shot of valium and I took him home. He had two more before he finally laid there and went to sleep. He slept all night and ate his regular food the next day and he has not had another seizure since. The vet said he must have an allergy to something in that new food.

Kirkland canned dog food - I have 2 concerns about this product: The contents of each can might vary a lot. From being very dry and crumbly, to very moist and easy to use. The other problem about this product is the can itself. About 25% of the time the PULL TAB on the top of the can gets PULLED OFF when trying to open can. Leaving a can that is unable to be opened. Because, once the pull tab is missing, and the lid is still on, it is impossible to remove the lid, even using a can opener. It is a real design problem with the can and its lid. And the sharp lid is dangerous.

We bought several bags of Kirkland's nature domain dog food. We gave two of these bags to our daughter. We have a Mastiff German Shepherd mix dog and our daughter has a great Dane. Our dog became critically ill. He became lethargic and refused to eat. We spent hundreds of dollars at the vet doing x-rays, ultrasounds, and blood work. The analysis showed severe liver complications. We took him home from the vet to spend a couple of more days with him as the vet recommended to put him down. During that time at home we changed his diet to rice and meat. Almost immediately he began to respond.

My little yorkies had been on Chicken Soup since puppies, they are 11 years old. With the last bag they started getting hot spots and scratching all the time... So I tried the Nature's Domain and they are doing great. I got the salmon because of the oils. Let it be known, the Aloe Vera plant completely cured the hot spots, no vet bills.

Where I work we have a couple of company cats. Someone purchased a bag of Kirkland brand cat food, what a MISTAKE! Our usually docile pets turned into mad crapping, pissing, screaming monsters! The crying was tolerable but the nonstop Niagara Falls of poop was not! The entire work area smelled a lot like a fairgrounds outhouse in the middle of July for 1 month! Luckily the manager purchased a finer quality cat food (not Kirkland brand) and a professional cleaning crew for the insurmountable piles of ** and things returned to normal.

For a year I have been feeding my German Shepherd Kirkland Nature Domain dog food with no problems. We started a new bag a few days ago (February 12, 2016) and my eager eater refused to eat from this batch (She's never turned down ANY kind of food in the past!). Once she was hungry enough by night time, she did eat it and then became ill. This happened twice. I checked online and discovered other dog owners have recently had the same experience. Don't know what is wrong with the food, but tomorrow we will switch brands! I'm so grateful that this forum exists and I could easily learn that others have had the same problem and the food was the culprit.

I started purchasing Kirkland dog food about 6 months ago when we adopted a 2 year old rescue dog and that's what the foster mom was feeding her. She was doing okay on this food other than she didn't seem to like the flavor much. If I added a little canned dog food she would eat it. About 3 weeks ago, I purchased a new bag of this food. She would not hardly eat it unless she got super hungry. When she did eat it she would have diarrhea every day multiple times per day. We cut out all treats to narrow down what was causing this. The only thing left in her diet was the dog food. She even started looking sick and I really started to get worried. Today I started looking online and realize that other people are having this same issue caused by Kirkland dog food. I have immediately taken her off of this poison. I hope that it has not caused any permanent damage. Do not feed your dog this food, there is something wrong with it!!!

I didn't put 2 and 2 together until both my beagle and blue healer started having diarrhea all over the house (again). About 8 months ago I was in a hurry and picked up this dog food. In about 3-4 days both dogs were ** everywhere. Stopped feeding them this and the diarrhea stopped. They also would finish the bowl. Well, history repeated itself and I didn't even think about it, but here I am, knee deep in dog ** with the exact same dog food. Do not feed this to your dogs.

Kirkland brand healthy weight dog formula - Have been feeding my dog Kirkland dog food for 10 years. Last week got a new bag. After 2 days, dog got diarrhea. Took her to the vet. Dog started bleeding out of both ends. Put her in ICU. They gave her fluids, antibiotics and pain meds. 2 days later she died. Autopsy showed all her organs affected. This was a very healthy and happy dog. She did not deserve this very painful death.

On Dec. 26 came home to a urinating cat - he is an outdoor cat that has not had an accident in 10 years. We cultured his urine - no crystals, positive infection - abx for 10 days - still retaining urine.. This went on until we got him on an antispasmodic with periodic bladder expressing. I had just purchased a new bag of cat food in mid December. After reading these reviews I will never use the cat food again - too many folks echoing the same situation. I stopped using the dog food a while back, just before an outbreak of sick dogs.. Feeling bad that I continued using the cat food - it was a while later.

We've fed our dog Nature's Domain Dog Food for several years and the last batch we purchased has made her sick with diarrhea and increased thirst. Our dog never misses a meal and over the weekend she now avoids the food in the bowl. We will be taking her to the vet tomorrow as I am very concerned after reading all the reviews.

We've been using Costco (Kirkland) brand cat food for several years. We use the "Healthy weight cat" version that comes in a purple bag. I recently opened a new bag and just in the last week both of my cats have fallen ill. Both are lethargic, vomiting, and having diarrhea. The vet said it's most likely something they ate. The only thing they could have possibly eaten was their food. There is nothing poisonous in my home as I have two small children as well as the pets.

I have two Basset hounds been on Kirkland dog food since they were 3 years old. They are 10 now and with no health issues at all with Kirkland and no signs of slowing down. They still act like pups. They love it and like others have said, as well as many other dog food review sites, it is the top dept store brand of dog food (not specialty). I live in Canada and have friends also using this brand. No issues to report. Not every dog will respond good to every brand of dog food but I am very happy with Kirkland.

Our 10-year-old lab has been eating Nature's Domain beef with sweet potatoes for about three years. This fall when I purchased a new bag our dog began showing symptoms of a UTI, frequent urination, blood in her urine, dull coat, and lethargic behavior. In her lifetime she has had a few bladder infections but not like this. I had a urine culture done and it showed E. coli. We immediately began a round of antibiotics. Since October she has been on three rounds of antibiotics and is still fighting the infection.

We've been using Kirkland dog and cat food for several years without issue. Our pets like it. About a month ago two of my cats, the two that tend to get into the dog food, fell ill. It was shortly after purchasing a new bag of dog food. One passed away this evening and the other is suffering from liver failure but holding on. I strongly suspect the dog food as my other cats are still healthy, the ones that don't care for dog food. I purchased new bags of both this evening, different brand entirely.

We always have used Iams dog food. At Costco we thought we would try their Premium Puppy (yellow bag, food looks like a ring) because they didn't carry Iams puppy. Our 12 week old lab was sick for the whole week. I didn't make the connection until our 3 year old lab ate the puppies' food and was so sick for that day and the next. Nonstop diarrhea, covered in and sometimes only mucus/blood. I put our dogs back on their original food and they were fine. My husband didn't know why I moved their Costco food to the garage (to be thrown out) he gave them each a bowl. Once again both were so sick with diarrhea. If I hadn't thrown away the bag, I would return. But I will NEVER buy again.

I have been reading all the comments about the Kirkland food and I've got one thing to say. Think about how long the food stays on the shelf with temperatures going up and down in Costco. I think that the food probably arrives safe, but the variables that it goes thru before getting to your home could have an effect on the food. Also, think about the time you bought the food when your dogs began having problems. Was it summer or during fluctuations of temperatures? I'm not saying that is what's wrong with the food, but it's something to think about. I personally don't feed Kirkland food, but I do use the Nature's domain grain-free jerky treats with wild boar and have not had any issue with them.

We let our dogs try out the kirkland brand since they didn't have any pedigree in stock. They have been using kirkland lamb and rice for only 24 hours and now we have two dogs with horrible diarrhea and one that is starting to vomit. Please avoid using this brand!! I wish I had seen these reviews before feeding my dogs this horrible product. I will be returning it and the unopened bag of kirkland cat food that I bought first thing in the morning. Sharing this on social media so others don't make the same mistake, and please, do the same!

It's organic, grain free with meat and vegetables. Costco Kirkland Brand does not seem to have many additives and it is affordable and easily accessible. You can also order it online and have it delivered directly to your house.

I have $4 poodles, 2 standards and 2 toys. 2 of them are seniors and it's hard to find a food they all can handle and like. I have been very pleased with the dog food from Costco.

I've had large dogs continuously for about 20 years and I have tried most of the options for dog food that have been listed. In that time I've taken dogs throughout their complete life cycle. The brand that I come back to continually is the Kirkland brand from Costco. It serves the dogs needs well and I get great value from it; it's readily available, and the price is exceptionally good.

I have been feeding my 5 year old Labradoodle Natures Domain Salmon/sweet potato now for over 3 years with never a problem. Several dog owners at our dog park have switched over to this food in the last couple of years with terrific results. Although I have not had any problems at all, the recent negative reviews have made me nervous and because I have just opened a bag which I recently bought, I will be keeping a close watch on how my dog reacts to it.

My uses and recommends both Kirkland canned and kibble (the Healthy Weight variety) feeds and they are cheap so that's what my dog eats. My dog doesn't love the kibble, so it only gets eaten when he's hungry which helps with his weight.

Kirkland Dog food is much like Blue Buffalo. You have to read ingredients of the food and you can see that the food is premium and at a good price. My dogs love the food.

Based on research I have conducted, Kirkland has one of the healthiest dog foods as they use few "fillers" that have no nutritional value to our pets.

Same ingredients as the more expensive brands, but at a cheaper price! And my dogs seem to like it or at least they eat it! Since the first bag I ever brought home, my two dogs have stood next to the bag to claim their food, and growled when the other came near! I changed from a much more expensive brand, which they refused to eat.

The dogs seems to enjoy it and we're pleased that it's wheat free. Since switching them to wheat free dog food they've been less itchy, their ears no longer bother them, their skin seems to be healthier, and their coats shine. Without the fillers, the kibble goes further too.

I have bought three varieties of Costco's KIRKLAND Brand dog-food: the puppy mix and the chicken/rice/vegetables and lamb/rice/vegetable mix for adult dogs. The nutritional composition of each matches, then surpasses the even the best national brands. If you compare labels for protein percentages: the puppy food contains 28 % protein, the chicken/vegetable/rice adult dog foods contain 26% protein, and the lamb/rice/vegetable adult dog mix contains 23% protein. PLUS Kirkland has a HEART-HEALTHY mix of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. And, Kirkland's adult dog food contains a JOINT-HEALTHY mix of Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate.

Last week, my father and I got new dog treats for my dog thinking "Hey, they are made in the us and they are grain free. We will give it a shot." We gave him the treat at 7pm on Friday October 16th. My husband woke me up at 4am. Snoopy had projectile diarrhea, shaking, panting, and vomiting. He was going outside every half hour but by 5am, his poop was red. Our poor baby had blood coming out with his poop and I'm not talking just a little red tint, I'm talking nothing but blood. We called the vet, got him in at 830 am, she looked him over, said "Yes. It's from the treats." She took him in the back, gave him 2 injections and fluids, said to give him the anti vomiting meds and to feed him chicken and rice, and that if it didn't get any better, to take him to the Animal Hospital.

I have been using this brand of dog food for over a year for my two German Shepherds without any problems. In October 2015 I purchased a bag of the Kirkland brand lamb rice and vegetables and my dogs became gravely ill. They had to be rushed to the emergency. They had diarrhea, vomiting, could not walk and could not stay awake. The vet said if I had waited to bring them in they would have died. The emergency bill for not even 24 hours was over $2,000.00 and then I had to pay another $500.00 for a follow up visit to their vet a day later for a follow up. They were severely dehydrated due to the diarrhea and vomiting. I will NEVER purchase Costco dog food again.

Salmon based and good nutrition and dog's coat looks good. I will use different types from Costco if dog starts to get choosy and mixing the various types works well. Always use dry food.

I recently switched my dog over to the Nature's Domain Turkey & Pea Stew since it was such a wonderful deal at Costco. My dog loved it at first, but after the 4th day on the new food my dog became violently ill. She had frequent diarrhea with a lot of blood in it, lack of appetite, and very lethargic. I rushed her to the vet twice that week, but both times the vet wasn't sure what was causing it. They put her on antibiotics as a precaution, but suspected that the food was the cause. It's been a week and she is still trying to recover from the incident. I will be returning the food today to avoid any further incidents.

Have finally settled on Kirkland's grain free salmon after numerous attempts at more budget helpful or gourmet natural and pricey kibbles. A grand compromise supplemented with more fish oil, pumpkin, and green vegetables. Tip: Crushed egg shells stirred in (add pumpkin!) have helped a lot when anal glands need expression (frequently for a large bulldog/sheepdog mix). Safe form of adding calcium to firm up the bms. I would not crush up calcium pills w/o checking with your vet. It will likely be way too much Ca++ and disrupt and diminish uptake of other vital elements.

We have 3 German Shepherds about 3 years old, and one Pit Bull around 10 yrs old. We started giving them all the Nature's Domain grain-free Salmon/Sweet Potato about 2 1/2 years ago (early 2013). * months later the 3 shepherds got sick - one at a time over 6 weeks. They all got sick in their crates... The most vile vomit ever. I wasn't sure it was vomit or diarrhea until I saw them throw it up 3 times in 30 minutes in my living room. It smelled worse than anything I'd ever smelled (and we have 3 boys!) & it permeated the entire house for hours even with windows open (in December, so it wasn't fun having the windows open!).

I have routinely purchased Kirkland's Signature Nature's Domain Beef Meal & Sweet Potato Formula for my German Shepherd, since Kirkland first began carrying this product. This past Wed, my dog was pacing, at 4 a.m., needing to go outside. She had voluminous extraordinarily soft stool with mucous and the same Wed evening. By Thursday afternoon, she was vomiting, and by Thursday evening, she had projectile vomiting and diarrhea with spots of red blood. I was surprised, as my dog has been under my care for 6 1/2 years, and she has always been very healthy with very normal bowel movements, and she never has had an accident in the house. She is a house dog and does not have any contact with other animals or environments; therefore, she is less likely to acquire a contagious canine infection. We also do not feed our girl table scraps or any other treats.

We are on third bag of Kirkland Salmon Meal and Sweet Potato from Costco. The first two bags were fine. Third bag, both dogs developed diarrhea, throwing up and listless behavior with elevated fever after eating one meal. The would not eat it after that and the Beagle is an eating machine. I had to take the Aussie to the vet.

I have a 10-year-old golden retriever who is part of the family. She loves to catch a frisbee and though getting older, has always been full of energy. We have always looked for high-quality dog food with no corn. On our last visit to Costco we saw the Kirkland Nature's Domain brand dog food had top notch ingredients and wouldn't mind saving a little money and had generally found Kirkland brand products to be excellent. What a mistake that was. Within 3 days she become weak and lethargic and could no longer go up the stairs and looked dazed and confused. We brought her to our vet and asked if the food could be the cause of the problem. He said no because dogs that have trouble with food either throw up or have diarrhea. I called the Kirkland dog food company and asked where the dog food was made and if there had been any issues reported about the product.

I just read many accounts of what appears to be tainted Kirkland brand dog food; we had the same experience with our 10-year-old newfie mix. I had been buying their "natural" salmon/sweet potato mix off and on for a good number of years, and never had a problem with it. In August, I purchased a bag that my dog refused to eat; we're lucky in that his vomiting was mild, and his only other symptom was lethargy. I was concerned that he had cancer or some sort of organ failure, never thinking it could be the food. When I finally made the connection, Costco stepped up and told me to bring back any remaining food for a full refund. I switched over to a beef formula that day, and my dog ate as though he'd been starving. He had. I still feel terrible that I didn't pick up on it sooner. I did notice yesterday at Costco that the section reserved for the salmon formula was empty.

On Sept 15, 2015 I purchased 2 bags of Kirkland Signature brand dog food from Costco Pointe Claire in Montreal. (1) Chicken, Rice & Vegetable & (1) Lamb Rice & Vegetable. I proceeded to mix the (2) two bags half and half in the container as I always do. (The containers are regularly cleaned & dried accordingly) I have two large dogs: 6 1/2 Bailey my 110 lb Doberman and Hunter who is only 1.5 years @ 135 lbs due to his Bloodhound/Lab Cross. On Tuesday night, they proceeded to eat from the new bags purchased that evening. Hunter vomited that night. They ate the next morning, but both vomited later that day. At that time I had not made the connection that it could be the food, even though I had been having issues with Bailey eating this food in the past and have visiting this site before so am very familiar of all the complaints.

I have two dogs that ate the Kirkland Adult Lamb and Rice food for about 3 years. As others have said I think they changed the formula in the 3rd year (2014) and the younger dog kept vomiting it up. It became a daily occurrence that we attributed to his eating fast and drinking too much water. As time went on, I found bloody stools out in the dog run. That only took me once to start looking online for a cause and I found that many have complained of the same problem. They have been off of the Kirkland food for about 9 months and no more vomiting or bloody stools. I switched them to Blue Buffalo lamb and rice and have no more problems.

I have fed my female German Shepherd Nature's Domain Salmon and Sweet Potato since she has been 16 weeks with no problems. I just purchased a new bag at the end of August. My dog started itching intensely within a day of feeding the new bag to her. She has no fleas or no sign of fleas or parasites on her. The only thing that is new is the new bag we purchased. She has vomited in the last couple of days also and has gone off her food. I now know after finding this site that it is the food. I found out Diamond makes the food, and have been involved in several recalls over the last several years. Costco you need to make this right!!

I just read all these crazy bad reviews - and felt I had to give my opinion which has been super positive. My puppy is a 4 month old Australian Shepherd and I had him on a few different foods from the pet store that were really expensive and he didn't like them, and he was really itchy all the time. I was getting pretty frustrated trying to find the right fit for the poor little guy. A lot of my neighbors were telling me that their dogs were all doing well on the Costco dog food - so I thought I would give it a try.

My two dogs have been on Kirkland's Lamb & Rice formula for about three years. Both of my dogs did very well on this food. Last time I went to Costco's they didn't have the Lamb & Rice, so I bought the Kirkland's Chicken & Rice. My German Shepherd starting get diarrhea immediately. She was very sick, the insides of her ears were beet red. It was horrible how miserable she was. I stopped feeding her the Kirkland's and put her on Fromm's and she's doing much better. I will not be buying the Kirkland's food anymore. Especially after reading all of these posts. Something is definitely going terribly wrong with this dog food. I hope someone looks into this... soon!

Kirkland Salmon and Sweet Potato Dog Food - Over the last week our dog has had diarrhea (sometimes with blood and mucus) and we couldn't seem to figure out why. We had tried new treats with him and thought maybe it was the treats, so we stopped those about 2 days ago. Was still having issues but I figured give it a couple days to get it out of his system. Finally this morning, after having him get me up to let him out 3 times in the middle of the night, it finally clicked that it may be the dog food as we had just bought a new bag this week. After reading the reviews and complaints about the dog food, which my dog has also been on this food for about a year with no issues in the past, I will be switching him over to something new today in hopes this stops the bloody/mucusy diarrhea and see if I can get our happy little guy back to normal.

On 8/27/15 I lost my best friend of 13 years. I relive the 26th a lot in my head because I am not sure if what happened to her was due to the food but I have hard to believing that it wasn't. I had purchased a brand new bag of Kirkland Salmon and Sweet Potato. It's not the first time I have fed it to her but it would be the last. She took a couple of bites out of her bowl and slowly over the next couple of hours she started becoming bloated. The bloat ended up taking her life.

We have two dogs that have been eating Kirkland brand dog food, the salmon and sweet potato variety. They both have been on the food for about a year. Two weeks ago, our 3.5 year old Shepard mix threw up a bit in the morning (abnormal for her), then later in the day started throwing up blood. We thought she had gotten into something... She commonly chews up stuff out of the bathroom garbage cans. Took her to the vet. They gave her a Cerenia anti-nausea shot and was fine for about 24 hours.

We have been feeding our large dog (Mastiff/Boxer mix) this brand of dog food for about 3 years. He was thriving on it, and enjoyed it. Even our old dogs liked it. 2 weeks ago he began having explosive diarrhea w/ blood in it, gums and nose are WHITE, he has become so sick. After doing everything possible to keep food on his stomach, including going to cooked chicken, beef livers (because I knew he needed iron to replace red blood cells, or at least help in that regard), ground beef, and we began feeding him "dog log" (the name I give the large roll of fresh dog food we purchase and feed our old Chihuahua because he has tooth loss at age 16 and needed a soft food), and FORCING WATER DOWN HIS THROAT BECAUSE HE EVEN BEGAN REFUSING TO DRINK, he finally began to turn the corner... a bit.

I have been dealing with key people at both Costco and their supplier, Diamond Pet food, since March and I have watched these complaints increase. Same issues with my Chocolate Lab, high liver indicators, very expensive weekend at Animal Hospital with follow up visits and medication. Per top executive at Diamond they supply Costco well over 300,000 bags of dog food per week and there are going to be issues! I spoke with a VP at Costco and a Vet at Diamond who told me all they had done to upgrade the facilities, but nobody would tell me what they are doing to solve these current issues. One simple question regarding whether or not they have any quality control teams or people in place in emails to same execs and CEO at both companies have gone unanswered. They will happily take back our bag of dog food, but they cannot tell me what is causing these common problems we are all facing to one degree or the other.

I have been feeding my dogs the Kirkland grain free for about a month and a half. Into the third bag, two weeks ago, both my dogs started throwing up bile. After a week of chicken and rice one dog is fine. The other dog may be at the vet next week... will not purchase again.

We have four dogs. Two we feed prescription dog food, and the other two we have been feeding Costco Kirkland brand dog food. We've been buying the grain free varieties. We recently switched to the Nature's Domain Organic Chicken food. After a couple of weeks one of our dogs began throwing up, and then began refusing to eat her food. This was very unusual for her. We thought she may have a tummy bug. After four days of trying to coax her to eat and her being sick our other dog began vomiting after she ate her food as well. Our second dog then began refusing to eat her food as well. Our other two dogs on their prescription food were fine.

I have been using Kirkland dog food for over 3 years. My two golden retrievers like the food and I supplement with homemade cooked chicken and beef stew. I just purchased the new improved Kirkland brand with probiotic. Feed dogs Sunday evening and by Monday morning, vomit from my big Golden. Took him to the vet and couldn't find any problem. Vet gave him Cerenia anti vomit shot. He is recovering but doesn't want the Kirkland food. I'm feeding him cooked chicken and beef but full appetite hasn't yet returned. Waiting for the Cerenia to get clear from his system. Only change has been the improved Kirkland food. My smaller golden seems to be able to tolerate, but I'm afraid to keep her on this food. I will be returning the Costco food and looking into another brand this weekend. Until then, I'm putting both on homemade beef and veg stew.

We have been using Kirkland dog food for years, but last week after picking up new bags of salmon and turkey Within two days one dog was at vet with vomiting and diarrhea, blood in stool. The next day, 4 other dogs suffered same issues. All dogs got very sick. Vet tested blood and stool, no Giardia or Salmonella. We are going to have the dog food tested.

Here is a photo of some of the debris that came in this bag of "organic" dog food. I am an administrator of a national non-profit dog rescue and as such, purchase and feed (and have done so for over 20 years) a great deal of dog food. I am appalled and angry that I have unwittingly fed my dogs what, in my opinion, amounts to garbage. I would sue this company if I could afford to do so.

We have been feeding our dogs this Nature's Domain for the last 2 years. A few weeks ago our Shetland Sheepdog began acting sick and couldn't keep any of her food down - she started vomiting everywhere and acting lethargic. She was nursing a litter of one-week-old puppies and we were concerned about their health as well. After talking with our vet, we gave her some anti-nausea meds and tried her on a different brand of food that was supposed to be more nutritional (since we thought maybe the food didn't have enough nutrients). Within a few days she was back to normal so we kept her on the new brand of food. A few days after that, our Papillon started acting lethargic, vomiting, and having diarrhea. We continued to feed him but gave him some anti-nausea medication and watched him to see if he was showing any improvements. After another 2 days of acting sick, he started to get much worse and had dropped down to just 4 lbs body weight.

My mature German Shepherd had been eating the Kirkland Lamb brand of dried dog food for over two years. Recently, within the last 45 days, I have been to the vet because of projectile vomiting and diarrhea. I have been so overwhelmed because he has been really sick, and I went through the process of elimination, and now I truly feel it was his food. I am so distraught because I have had to make expenditures because of his stomach issues.
