Nutro Dog Food Reviews

I figured I would give Nutro (original formula) a try and thought my dogs would like it. They did and they enjoy mealtime now more than ever before. Nice texture, just the right size pieces, highly digestible for my dogs, easy for them to chew as well, and they seem to really like it a lot. It very nutritious for my dogs and helps to keep them healthy and happy. Maybe make the pieces a little softer. Would be a lot easier for older dogs to chew. Also lower the price a little bit. It is kind of expensive in my opinion, but I will still continue to buy it either way.

The Nutro Original Formula was on display at a pet store and I wanted my dog to try something different. The packaging was nice and attractive to my eye and it was on sale. It's made with real ingredients, healthy and filling for my dog, Miskaws. The flavors are nice and natural as well. I don't feel guilty feeding this to my dog. The size of the dog food is decent size for the price, nice texture and nice taste for the dog. I also like the way it scoops. Very easy to serve in a hurry.

The Nutro Puppy was given to us by the shelter when we adopted our new puppy and it seems digestible and wholesome. We are impressed with it because it seems to provide good gentle nutrition for a growing dog. Indeed, our new puppy is growing fast and looks forward to the measured amounts of the food we provide. However, the package is a little bland and the nutritional information is written in too small of a font. The food itself seems fine but I'm wondering if there couldn't be a bigger variety of flavors and a simpler way to package the concept.

My dogs are finicky, they have food allergies to chicken and most other meats and they don't like sweet potatoes which a lot of foods have. And they eat this food (Nutro Wild Frontier) better than others I've tried. It was recommended by my vet for being good for food allergies. I also have looked at other food labels and this met all my criteria of having fish and potatoes, and not sweet potatoes or chick or other meats. I like that it is fish based and grain free. My only suggestion is to make this more age specific for puppies or older dogs.

I read reviews of Nutro Dog Food that were very good and recommended it highly. I wanted a quality food for my dog and that's what I got. So, it did meet my expectations. It's made with quality ingredients. My dog liked the flavor and ate it well. It seemed to improve his energy and coat. There was a variety of different options to choose from as well. I would improve on the ingredients and make it as natural as you can, so it's even better for dogs. Also try to make it a bit more affordable and more readily available at mass merchandise stores.

It is made with natural ingredients which makes it more like what I eat. They seem to care about what my dog eats. This is better than what I had been feeding my dogs and they like the taste. Also, it has meet my expectations and my dogs like the food and they are thriving on it. The cost is reasonable and my dogs' veterinarian also thinks it is a good choice for my dogs. I wish it was more readily available. I usually have to search a couple stores to find this Nutro product because it is not available in regular grocery stores.

We originally switched dog food brands because we were switching off of puppy food. We were already re-stocking our house with regular food and couldn't get a big bag of our original brand, so we went with a medium bag of Nutro Dog Food to try out and both of our dogs loved the food. There were a few times when we first started our two dogs on the food that it seemed like they weren't getting something in their system that they needed. But after a few days they seemed to fully adjust to the new brand and even seemed to be more energetic. What I like about the Nutro High Endurance is that it's mostly natural ingredients. The product tries to include ingredients that are good for the dogs and help them grow naturally and stay healthy.

We have one dog that tends to gain weight so we needed something with limited ingredients that would help that. So I put both of my dogs on Nutro Lite & Weight Management and one dog lost quite a bit of weight and the other was a little bit slower but it did help. Stick with limited ingredients as it seems to help my dog's digestion. The availability of the smaller bites was hard to come by at my PetSmart by my house, which is not Nutro's fault, but my dogs prefer smaller kibble. I do wish it was a little bit cheaper because I lost my job last year so I had to cut back on the amount that I have been giving them. I do think that you get what you pay for when you buy dog food.

Nutro Lite & Weight Management Dog Food is very natural and very healthy. Their foods have a lot of nutrients in it rather than just plain trash and unhealthy ingredients. This brand and product however can make it more healthier. I would choose Nutro Dog Food over other brands because they meet the healthy expectations that I wanted for my dog. This is the best healthy brand yet.

We use the lamb and lentils recipe for adult dogs. We were looking for a grain free dog food product for our large, high-energy breed. We like that the product has a 25% protein content. There was a longer period of transition to get the dog used to the Nutro grain free than with previous food changes. We had to mix the old food with this new selection for closer to two weeks than the six days stated on the bag. While the ingredient list consists of mostly easily recognizable ingredients, I wish there were fewer ingredients, a simpler recipe. We were also looking forward to the shiny coat guaranteed on the packaging but we have not seen that improvement.

I was recommended to try the Nutro Original Formula dog food by my close friend and coworker, after she used it for her three dogs and had phenomenal results. I also decided to buy it because to the relatively low costs. And it is also organic, healthy, convenient, nicely packaged, good and nutritious for my dogs, easy on their stomachs, tastes good to them, high in protein, and all natural ingredients. However, they should make it cheaper and in bigger bags for lower prices. They should also make it easier to obtain through conventional stores. Also, they should make breed specific blends and formulas, available for all animals and breeds.

I researched the different dog brands and decided to choose Nutro original formula since it was packed with many vitamins and minerals such as chicken for protein, and other things such as corn important to keeping my dog healthy. Overall, the brand is very good, and I have not had any issues with it. My dogs eat it as well.

I got Nutro Original Formula because I wanted to get my dog away from other dog food. My dog eats too fast, her breath is bad, and I really don't care if it is grain or gluten free as long as it is not made of junk. I would improve the price and packaging for one. It is drab and unexciting.

I researched a lot about Nutro High Protein-Grain Free and it have very good reviews and a lot of people I know really like this. I really like this food because it's natural and it seems like my dog really likes it. It has good veggies and meat that your dog really needs.

Nutro Max is healthy, contains no by-products, corn, wheat, soy or artificial ingredients. It comes in a variety of flavors. It is available at the major pet stores and comes in a variety of sizes, so it is easy to get. I am pretty much satisfied with everything. It is a little bit on the expensive side, but I am willing to pay more for a better quality product, especially if it concerns nutrition. The breeder I got the puppies from had them started on this brand and he recommended it because of the healthy ingredients. It did meet my original expectations.

Nutro dog food was recommended to me by a friend who uses it and after reading the ingredients of the dog food I was currently using I decided my dogs deserved something better. I like Wild Frontier Nutro Dog Food because it's good for my dogs. They also have a variety of different flavors to choose from which means I can switch it up a bit for them. It's healthy, inexpensive and sold where I normally shop. And most importantly, my two dogs love it.

Farm's Harvest was recommended by many of my dog owning friends. My dogs like it and it has the nutrients they both need and is reasonably priced. It also does not give them gas. I'm not a dog food expert but I picked a good food for them.

The packaging caught my eye so I did some research on it and sounded like a great product for my dogs and so far I love it. It helped that it is made of 100% whole grains and natural fruits and vegetables. I like that it contains 5 real fruits and veggies. It has 100% whole grain for healthy digestions and helps with my dog's coat. Best of all, my dogs love it. There is nothing that I dislike about this dog food but it would be awesome if the price was a little bit less. But I understand why and totally worth it. It'll be cool if they made some portable products.

Nutro High Endurance Dog Food meets the requirements my dog needs. It helps my dog with all kinds of ailments and it is a good thing for my dog to have. It gives my dog the vitamins it needs everyday and proper nutrition. This brand is the best and I like it very much and it would be good for my dog because fillers are a big no no. I need my dog to have real food and vitamins to survive in this world because it is necessary nowadays to get the right food for your dog.

I purchased Nutro Lite & Weight Management due to the price. We are always looking for the cheaper alternative. We also switch brands for variety, we need to switch it up to make sure the pups eat. It was colorful and my dogs seemed to really like it. It seemed flavorful. But maybe improve the packaging to make it look more appealing.

After I mentioned that I worried about my German Shepherd gaining weight as he entered his senior years, my co-worker recommended Nutro Lite & Weight Management. So far, it has met my initial expectations. His weight is under control. He has not gained weight on it, which is good because he's starting to get old. Also, my dog can be very picky about his kibble but he seems to enjoy the flavor. I think the price should be lowered a few dollars but the dog food is actually pretty decent.

My dog likes Nutro Dog Food and as long he is healthy, I will continue to this brand as well as others. They had good reviews and had no complaints from anyone. It's wholesome and nutritious and has great ingredients that are identifiable and good. I love everything about this brand. It's great the way it is now and I am a buyer for life, but I would like to see more flavor variety.

Through my husband, who has had numerous German Shepherd dogs through the years, both before and with me, I have found Nutro to be a very beneficial food to give to my dogs. They thrive on the food from Nutro and I am always happy to give it to them/her. I like that the ingredients of the original formula are basically simple and healthy for my pet dog. I don't have to worry about other added ingredients that cheapen the dog food. My pet is eating on a daily basis. They could improve the dog food by maybe adding other bits of healthy food in with the pellets/food stuffs. I know that my dog loves little bits of something extra. Especially in the past when we had her on other food she like the distinction between the pellets and other bits that were in there.

Nice packaging. Emphasis is the key ingredients in the dog food. Semi-moist dog food that isn't hard to swallow or on their teeth and doesn't contain a lot of filler products so it fills my dog's appetite. I choose to purchase Nutro Original Formula because on other brands my dog was always acting hungry after eating. I wanted something with a lot of meat to keep him full for a period of time. However, I think that the dog food is expensive for a small bag. I could buy a bigger cheaper brand on the same shelf and that the bigger bags make it harder to carry out of the store and at home.

I initially purchased Nutro Original Formula because my neighbor gave me coupon. We tried and Chuck liked it so I continued to purchase it. It's supposed to be nutritious for a dog his age and as long as he's satisfied I'm happy. However, it smells horrible and that is really the only thing I would change if I could.

I chose to purchase Nutro Dog Food because of the natural ingredients and also a recommendation from a friend. I like the chicken flavor, and the beef flavor, because my dog seems to love those among all the flavors. I also like that it is high in protein, nutritious for my dog, and how easy it is to prepare. As long as my dog loves it, I have no issues with it. I will continue to purchase it so long as it remains of good value.

I like it’s healthy and all natural. I read too much on dog food out there and this is one that doesn't have negative reviews. I think it met my initial expectations since I didn't have the bar raised high so it didn't disappoint at all. I'm happy we tried and so are my dogs. I feel safe feeding my dogs this Wild Frontier dog food. I can find it at local stores which makes it convenient as well. I would like to see soft morsels in the mix. I do mix some hamburger or chicken in her food to help her out. Makes it easier for her to eat. My small dogs does better with chewy pieces better than the hard ones.

Nutro Wild Frontier is closer to nature than a lot of other brands I looked at. The cost was cheaper with higher concentrations of minerals and vitamins, plus the protein than the other brands without fillers or by products. I looked at the ingredients on the bag and I was sold because it included everything I think should be in a dog food that I feed to my Lady. I expected my Lady to snub the food but she really liked it which surprised me.

My veterinarian recommended I try it for my senior dog since she underwent surgery and needed a lot of vitamins. They gave me a buy 1 get one free deal at the office. Nutro Farm's Harvest Dog Food provides a all in one healthy diet. My dogs really enjoy it although it is more costly than other brands available and I can never find coupons available. They should have sealable bags in many sizes. Also maybe tubs too? Small bite and also moist bites would be many more flavors too since I have a senior dog and a new puppy.

I chose to purchase Nutro Dog Food based on reviews from friends who also use them. I bought a small bag to allow my dogs to try it and they love it. I like that the food uses real ingredients and not fillers, and the makers use natural ingredients. It is a premium, high end dog food and I like that my dogs also like it. However, I would lower the price somewhat because it is a great dog food but it is quite expensive especially if you feed it to more than one dog. Although it is a natural dog food it surely doesn't have to cost so much to purchase.

Nutro High Endurance fills my dogs up more than any other brands and my dogs doesn't have a reaction to it. They have protein allergies and Nutro offers proteins they can have. It's a good food for my picky dogs that seems to be allergic to everything. It also has a wide variety of flavors they enjoy so they don't get bored with one flavor. However, it's harder to find and I have to drive at least 20 miles to a pet store to buy it and sometimes that's not practical. It would be easy if they at least offered free shipping.

I am tired of all the bad publicity. Nutro Dog Food provided the best nutrition for my dog. It does not give him gas, and the price was always reasonable. My dog Max loves Max by Nutro chicken flavor. I have never been disappointed with it. I know it improved the health of my dog over a period of 5 years. He loves the chicken flavor. I also like Greenies by Nutro. Max always had good breath. I am very saddened though that I cannot buy Nutro products locally. I would like to buy them at Menards again.

Nutro Grain Free Dog Food comes in a size of bag that I need at a reasonable price. I also had a coupon for my first purchase. However, they should have different flavors, organic options and a wet variety available. Other than that, my dogs enjoy the kibble size and the taste. Also, it's important that it's grain-free and has no fillers in it.

Nutro is a natural dog food that is extremely healthy for my two dogs. It is for all stages of my dogs' life. With all the nutritional value of this food and knowing that it is all natural, I do not have to be concerned that I'm giving my girls food that would harm them and I can rest extremely easy knowing that they truly are getting only the very best. This food supplies one hundred percent of their daily food nutrients and it helps their coats to shine and keep full of energy. I absolutely love that my dogs love this food as well. I wanted to make sure that I was only feeding my dogs what is good for them. My dogs are like my children and I want to only give them the very best.

I like that the Nutro Original Formula is healthy and somewhat a gourmet meal for my dogs. I can feel good about giving them this. They always seem to enjoy it and I will continue to purchase as it does have great benefits for them at a good price. It isn't too expensive but still very high quality and an overall great product. It could always be improved as far as for digestion and health.

I like that Nutro Original Formula uses the highest quality of natural ingredients and it contains important vitamins and nutrients to support my dogs health. I also like that they have a variety of flavors to choose from. Nutro can be more expensive than other brands but I rather buy a brand my dog likes than a cheaper brand that he will snub. My dog is a picky eater, however, tends to prefer this brand over other brands. I would like to see new varieties to choose from though. My dog seems to snub the same ones after awhile.

I use Lamb/Rice small bites for adult dogs. Both dogs, retrievers, love this food and the small bites require them to eat slower. They have diminished dental plaque and shiny coats. Adding a little water makes a nice gravy for them and extra hydration. I have had no problem with gas or bad breath with my dogs. Follow the feeding schedule recommended and you will have a desired weight for your dog. Mine are slim and active. Sometimes the small bites type for adult dogs is harder to find. Thank you.

I have fed my Labrador Retrievers Nutro for over 20 years. I fed my large Lab Nutro lite but he didn't care for it so I started feeding all of my Labs Limited Ingredient Lamb Meal and Rice. My oldest male lab currently 4 years old started vomiting yellowish green bile. I thought he may be eating something outside that was causing it because it only happened about once a week. This dog also seemed really lazy and just laid around. I changed his food to Fromm weight control and he no longer vomits the bile and has a lot more energy. He goes for 1/2 mile walks and does 1/2 mile on the treadmill. This dog did not have the energy to do anything while eating Nutro. I also have a 7 month old Lab puppy and he refused to eat the Nutro large breed puppy food. I used to consider Nutro to be a quality food but it is not the same as it used to be. Mars The parent company for Nutro must have changed their recipe. Mars owns several dog food companies.

I switch my dog on this brand three weeks ago and now he is dead after use (Nutro grain free dog food). It was recommend by the pet company as a safe brand. I will miss my Kilo after 10 years and it took three weeks with your dog food. After looking at all the reviews why is this stuff still being sold.

My dog had a very sensitive stomach and we finally found a food that seemed to treat her well. We bought about 5 or 6 different formulas of Nutro natural before we found one that didn't make her throw up. My lab did live what I consider to be a long life of 12 years. We just had to put her down 3 days ago. I thought it was normal. However this is where I started to question her becoming sick with cancer.

Please do not brush this review off to the side. You will be thankful, and it will save you expensive vet bills. It might be lengthy but the stress this brand has caused my wife, dogs, and I is unbelievable. I'm just glad our dog and puppy are still alive! My wife and I purchased a large bag of the Nutro Ultra Large breed puppy food on Nov. 21st 2016. We did extensive research on the brand and it seemed to be a well respected and trusted brand. We were fairly happy with the ingredients listed and figured we would give it a go. We started incorporating the food slowly into our 1 yr old dog's diet. We noticed that she started becoming a little lethargic. Once we switched her over completely (we assumed she was fine, really dumb I know) she began vomiting and had diarrhea. She began sleeping way more than normal and we became very worried.

My dog has just switched over to Nutro from Science Diet (it was recommended to me at PetSmart by an employee) and everything went fine with the first bag. The first bag was the small bites. His poop was a little lighter than normal but I figured it was due to the lighter color of the food. The second bag he is on now (bought a few days after Thanksgiving in Lafayette, Louisiana) which is not the small bites has caused terrible vomiting and diarrhea multiple times a day. I thought it was some kind of stomach bug but after reading the other reviews I am sure it is this food. DO NOT LET YOUR PET SUFFER FROM THIS FOOD!!! My poor baby.:(

Purchased through Chewy.com - as with other reviews my 11 year old black lab has been eating this food for years and never had a problem. My brother dog Sat her on Friday and within 5 minutes after feeding her, she vomited all up immediately. I thought maybe she was just nervous not being home so a while later he fed her some toast which she kept down. As soon as he fed her this food for dinner she vomited again. The next morning foam and bile. I racked my brain - what could it be?? And then realized that the only thing different was that it was a new bag so I decided to google it and found these reviews. I had him stop the food immediately and he fed her Blue Buffalo grain free food that his dogs eat and she has been perfect since. If my dog had been a smaller size I'm sure it would have been much more serious. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE NUTRO FOOD AGAIN.

We have used Nutro for many years but for the past year we noticed that our dog was getting some severe diarrhea on and off when we fed him. We took him to our vet and we were told that there was nothing wrong. We noticed one of the stores we purchased his Nutro dog food from pulled all of the Nutro products off of their shelves without notice or explanation. We quickly decided to switch his food because that seemed a little odd plus we began reading the complaints about this food. After the switch his poop is back to normal and he has a lot more energy. This is not a case of his food didn't agree with him, it's a case of there is something terribly wrong with Nutro!

I have 3 dogs and two of them have been on Nutro Lite Adult 1+ Chicken, Whole Brown Rice & Oatmeal Recipe (the 30 lb bag) for 12 years now with the 3rd being on it for over a year since we adopted him. My dogs have always loved this food and I have had no problems and I have always felt they were healthy because of this dog food. My dogs are almost 13, just turned 12 and 4 years old. I purchased the last 30 lb bag from PetSmart on November 21st of this year and all 3 of them seemed to just not want to eat the food. It was a first and I wondered why none of them seemed to have an appetite. In the time since, the two younger dogs now seem to eat it and seem to not have any issues but my older dog has just stopped eating. I have put rice in the food and he literally picks out the Nutro food and sets it on the floor beside his bowl so he can more easily get to the rice.

Dog food (Nutro Ultra Senior Dog Food) was purchased from Chewy.com in which our dogs ate it. After eating the food both dogs were vomiting and had diarrhea. We have since changed the dog food and there is no more vomiting or diarrhea. However our old girl Gabby was 18 years old and it put her on her death bed. She went downhill fast. Sadly she is at Rainbow Bridge now. I started buying the dog food in 2010 for our Coonhound Franklin. The food was fine for a long time. Chewy told me that they would notify Nutro about this issue but I wanted to make it aware to other pet owners who may be experiencing the same problem with their dogs from the Nutro dog food.

My dog has been refusing to eat this food suddenly with the last bag I got. At first I switched up the toppers I was putting on it thinking she might have been a little under the weather or maybe just having a picky day but no matter what I added over the next few days she refused to eat it. (Even the chicken and rice that I cooked for the human members of the family) BUT she happily ate her dog cookies or any other food that did not contain any Nutro kibble. It turns out that they bag the tiny mummified remains of baby rat. I am glad my dog is vaccinated against leptospirosis as vermin contamination often causing this illness. (Perhaps this is the vomiting and illness that other owners have been describing in their reviews?) I am horrified and disgusted.

Our dog had been eating Nutro Max Puppy chicken and rice since he was a pup and we got him from the breeder. He liked the food so we only switched to adult for on October 18, 2016 when I purchased a new 30 lb bag of food adult chicken and rice from Petsmart in Cincinnati, Ohio. I started by mixing it in with his old food for the next few days. By November 7th he started vomiting 1-2xs per day. By Friday, November 11th he was vomiting 4-5xs. It would be bile, white foam. He stopped eating and became lethargic. We took him to a vet, they did x-ray after x-ray, blood work.

My dog has been eating Nutro for over 8 years. It was the only food he would eat. We even tried switching him to a better brand and he stopped eating. So we continued to feed him Nutro Adult Chicken and rice. We left him with good friends to watch over the Thanksgiving holiday. They kept telling me that he was throwing up and he was not eating. And when he finally was hungry enough to eat he would immediately get sick. Upon our return he was skin and bones. He had lost almost 10 lbs. We immediately took him to the vet. The costs were so high for the tests. And they could not tell us what exactly was wrong with him. I'm not sure if it was the food but based on these other reviews I'm beginning to wonder.

Bought a 30lb bag of Nutro Adult Venison Meal, day before Thanksgiving at Pet Smart. Have used Nutro brand dog food for 14 years. Have had no problems. By Friday evening my two Schnauzers were vomiting every 7 minutes. Food 1st, then yellow bile, then blood. Went through the whole scenario of what could be wrong, did they eat anything else? Went to emergency vet, gave them 2 shots to stop vomiting. Stopped all food, started bland diet. Both dogs for 2 days did not eat, lethargic and would not have anything to do with us. Checked for any recalls, found none, but did read all the complaints online.

I have been feeding my Golden Retriever this food for 8 years, it had been the only one that I've used for his sensitive stomach. On October 19, 2016 I bought a new bag of Nutro Max Farm-Raised Chicken, after a few days he became ill. I've been to the vet 3 times. He has been vomiting yellow bile and had diarrhea. The first time so bad he was bleeding. All tests and blood work have been negative. He has been on antibiotics for over a month now and this seems to be the only thing working. After reading all these reviews and symptoms and looking at the time frame, I am convinced that it is the dog food. I am stopping this food immediately. This food needs to be recalled before any other dogs die.

I purchased a 35 lb bag at Pet Supply Store in Indianapolis right before the Thanksgiving Holiday. I always buy Nutro Small Bites, and my dogs turned their noses up. I thought that's strange, but I guess when they're hungry they'll eat it. I can't really afford to throw it away, but since my 5 dogs have eaten it they're all sick! Thanksgiving was horrible at our home this year! 5 dogs with screaming diarrhea is not my idea of a wonderful holiday. As if it's not stressful enough already.

My Yorkie has been on Nutro for 14 years. When I opened the latest bag (purchased at PetSmart) he wouldn't eat it. I thought he was being picky, so I poured chicken broth over it, added his favorite chicken jerky, but he would just eat the jerky. He vomited once, had lots of gas and was very lethargic and would only take very short walks before turning back. My husband suggested googling to see if anyone else had this problem and... wow! Something changed in the formula or contaminated this food. I am giving him boiled chicken and rice until he feels better then changing dog food.

I was in Petsmart the other day and talking to a person who worked there. Trying to find a healthy food wet and dry for my 6 month old chipoo. He recommended nutro max for puppies. I am telling you 3 days on this food my puppy is urinating very, very yellow urine in huge amounts. She is also laying down too much. I do not recommend this food for no one to eat. I will be returning this huge bag to store. I decided to cook homemade for my puppy. At least I know what she will be eating. I am glad I see the reviews here before she ate anymore of this food.

My Maltese is a picky eater and will only eat Nutro Toy dog food - for years I have been buying it without issues. I purchased a bag from AMAZON two weeks ago. Within 24 hours my Maltese was throwing up bile and was sick for several days. I stopped the food and she was fine. This week I tried it again and she got sick. It's definitely the dog food. Something is wrong with this batch! They should recall it immediately.

I'll start off by saying that I have a very energetic and robust boston terrier mix. She has an iron stomach and changes in her diet do not affect her in the slightest. She has no food allergies at all. I started her on Nutro canned wet food yesterday... Within 15 minutes she blew up in bloody hives. I gave her a potent oatmeal bath and **... Her condition continues to worsen. After looking into customer reviews I have discovered that within the past few weeks dogs have been DYING within DAYS of ingesting this garbage. Seeing my dog in this kind of pain is heart wrenching. There's no possible way it could have been caused by anything other than the dog food. I have attached a picture of my dog (Sweet Pea). These welts formed right before my eyes. This is insane!!!

First of all, I wish I had seen these reviews several months ago. I started my dachshund on Nutro senior dog food at the beginning of this year. After several months, she started vomiting, rapidly losing weight, developed a "funny" walk and urinating uncontrollably. I have taken her to the vet several times only to be told her issues are mostly related to her age (she's sixteen). She did have blood work done that showed she has early stage kidney disease and has developed chronic pancreatitis.

My lab has been eating Nutro dry dog food for years, but since opening the current bag, he is having issues that may be related. He won't eat the whole bowl like he used to and is not his usual self. After reading a few reviews here, I'm thinking a new food is worth a try.

I bought the ultra senior dog food a month ago! I feed him this food about since 2 weeks ago. The very first time he had vomiting. I thought he may not get used to the food yet, so I didn't take him to the vet. And 2nd day he was ok, so I start cutting down the dry food and mix with brown rice, carrots, and lean beef. Everything was looks fine, but last night when I get home, I noticed he is kind losing his appetites, and not active at all. I was stupid and feed him with this dry food again. Started 5:00 am in the morning, he was vomiting a lot with white foam. In the afternoon I took him to the vet, the doctor said he had infractions. We have been trying very hard to work on him. After 2 hrs later, he left me. Now, I am going to send this dry dog food to special lab and see what's in the food that kills my dog, and after I get the results from the lab, I will sue this company for my dog.

Like many others, I too have been feeding my dog Nutro brand dog food for a few years with no problems, up until the past few weeks. I started a new bag of food and she began having diarrhea, orange in color. I took her to vet who ran fecal specimen lab test and full senior blood panel - no problems showed up. Vet gave her anti-diarrheal meds. I fed her white chicken breast and white rice and her stools became normal after a few days. I slowly, over a week gradually introduced her dry food back into her diet, once she was back on Nutro fully, the diarrhea came back. She is now back on meds and chicken and rice. I know now that it's the Nutro dog food that is making her sick and I will not feed it to her again. Do not purchase Nutro dog food. My deepest sympathies to those whose pets have died as a result of feeding their dogs Nutro dog food. How many pets need to die as a result of feeding them Nutro before this product is recalled?

For a week my Pomeranian has had building issues of bile vomiting, diarrhea. The only thing I can track it to is a new bag of dog food I bought at a pet food store in San Tan Valley, AZ. I have used Nutro for years without issues but this week I am very concerned my dog may not make it. He is not quite three and I cannot afford vet bills after the loss of my husband. He has been such a comfort. After reading complaints of recent dog food problem with Nutro and same symptoms I believe that my dog's issue is this food. No more after tonight.

I've been giving my Yorkie Greenies for years. The last 2 times I gave him them he became very ill and vomited. It was shortly after each treat was given. I knew immediately it was the Greenies because my dog only eats once in the morning and once in the evening and both times the treat was given in the afternoon. This company needs to seriously look into all these complaints. It's not coincidence.

When my husband went to our pet supply store to purchase our dog food we were told it was being discontinued so the store pointed us toward "Nutro" brand dog food. Well in the month we have fed this to our miniature schnauzer she has developed HORRIBLE Schnauzer bumps and won't stop licking her paws - both of which required oral and topical antibiotics. I am NOT happy. I have thrown out this crap food.

We have used Nutro grain-free food for nearly 5 years since our English Bulldog Sprocket was a puppy. We opened a new bag of food about 2 weeks ago. This week Sprocket broke out with red whelps all over his belly and skin and was throwing up yellow bile. We narrowed it down to the Nutro brand food. We will never use this brand food again. Something needs to be done to make consumers aware of this problem!

I have been feeding my two dogs this food for 7 years since they were puppies. The last bag purchased was last weekend and I used this food as of Tuesday, Sept. 20th 2016. It was purchased at Petco in Marysville Washington. The dogs became lethargic and immediately started throwing up yellow bile. They had diarrhea and now one of them has constipation. I am taking them to the vet today and feeding them chicken and rice that I am making myself. I called a friend who advised me about this dog food and the information that has been posted currently. This product is not what it once was. Its quality has been compromised. Please do something about this before others lose their precious pets.

We have a 25 lb pug, Bo and a 6 lb pomeranian papillon mix, Red. I have been feeding them Nutro brand since we got them 6 years ago. About a week ago we opened a new bag and they started eating it. I noticed that they were not eating very much and would actually walk away from it. I thought they were being picky and wanted treats instead.

Nutro Large Breed Chicken, Whole Brown Rice and Oatmeal Recipe. We have been feeding our dogs, Dottie (17 yrs) and Bear (1 1/2 yrs) Nutro dog food since we have had them both as pups. Our Lab, Bear gobbles down his food like a typical Lab. Just recently after opening up a new bag and we noticed that he would wake up in the middle of the night throwing up yellowish bile. After reading all the other reviews that were the same, he would stop eating and look up at my wife with sad eyes. He always eats his food and he was trying to tell us that we were killing him by giving him this food.

I purchased the Nutro Dog Food for my dog because they claim to be natural. I ended up with a dead dog. My dog stopped eating, became lethargic, started vomiting and diarrhea. And died a horrible death. This food is no good. I can't get my dog back and it's heartbreaking that I thought this would be a better choice in food. That happy dog would have been 1 on the 10th of September and I got his shots. Didn't change anything in his life only the dog food. My biggest mistake??? I emailed Nutro and haven't heard from them. They are the worst with all these complaints. They should recall the food.

We'd been feeding our 11 yr. old chihuahua Nutro Ultra Small Breed dog food for about 18 months as recommended by the folks at PetSmart. We recently bought a new bag of the same food and within days, our dog developed diarrhea, lost her appetite, and became very lethargic. Not even thinking it could be her food (as it was what she'd been eating for 1 1/2 yrs), we took her to the vet. They said her stomach was very hard, and gave her antibiotics and something to help stop the diarrhea. After two more weeks, she still hadn't recovered and we were about to go back to the vet when we thought to check for info on her food. That's when we discovered this website, and that all reviews of this brand back to Dec. 31, 2015 seemed to be 1-star ratings!

I just was reading about Nutro dog food. I have been giving this food to my dog for years. About 2 years ago my dog got very, very sick, vomiting, diarrhea and not eating. Almost died. Took him to the vet numerous times and they could not find nothing wrong with him. They gave him antibiotic and I made him homemade chicken and rice until he got better. He got better and went back to the Nutro dry dog food and again started with the throwing up bile, gagging and diarrhea again. Would have never guessed it was the food because he had been taking it since he was a baby. Since I switched brands of food my dog is doing great.

I, like the rest of recent posts have used Nutro Large Breed Puppy in the past and it has been okay. Then I used Bil-Jac for a couple of months and my Weimaraner puppy loved that. The Nutro was on sale at my local pet store so I bought it again and it has been a disaster like others have described. My dog's stool has been consistently loose and it turning into diarrhea this past week. I tried mixing in pumpkin and rice to help and nothing did. He has also been foaming at the mouth and throwing up bile. Being that he tries to eat everything I thought maybe he got a hold of a frog or toad without my knowledge. He has also been urinating in the house after being previously fully house trained. The final straw last night was when he soiled himself in his kennel. I am returning it today and letting them know about the problems so they can think about pulling it.

Nutro Senior canned food - I have used this product for several years. And, I was very happy with it. Lately, it has been giving dog explosive diarrhea. I have discontinued using this product and she is improving. I'm not sure what has changed, but the dehydration caused by this product almost killed my dog.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE GAVE IT TO OUR PUPPY!!! My wife and myself recently added to our family and new member. He was a adorable little "Ozzie-Doddle", full of energy and just as lovable as could be. He was jet black with little white paws with just a touch of white just below his chin. He was the most adorable thing you have ever seen. He would run thru the house and play with our 9 year old "She Po". My wife and I are in our mid 60's and it was like watching two little children play. Everything was perfect up till approx a couple of weeks ago when my wife changed dog food for the our puppy Maxamus to Nutro Puppy Mix from the brand she had been feeding him since we purchased him.

I've been feeding my rottie Nutro for the past 6 months. 2 weeks ago he became violently ill after eating. He vomited 3 times that day. He didn't eat or drink for two days. The vet thought he had swallowed something because his belly felt like it had something in it. Once they opened him up they found his small intestines enlarged as well as his pancreas and spleen. He also developed shakiness. He stumbled when he walked. He's recovering now but he refuses to eat his food. He sniffs it and whines until you feed him something else. I don't know what happened but I've had to switch to another brand.

I switched my 7 month old Husky mix slowly to this food (Nutro Large breed lamb puppy food) over the last 2.5 weeks mixing it with the blue Buffalo he is currently on. I upped the mix of Nutro to approx. 75% from 50% on Monday evening and he threw up Tuesday evening then on Wednesday at 3am. I could not sleep because I was so worried about my baby dog. He threw up most of his dinner after eating it like 9 hours ago. Then I decided to look at the reviews and saw a lot of other people saying the same thing and that Nutro was making their dog sick. I wanted him off the food immediately.

Our 6 yr old Lab/Retriever Cross just spent 3 very sick days in & out of the vet's office. (Not to mention over $1000.00 in vet bills.) It started when we purchased a new bag of Nutro Ultra Large Breed food. Within a few hours of eating from this bag he was vomiting, this went on for a couple of hours. Later that evening we tried to give him a very small amount of food, he ate it and again an hour later was vomiting.

I changed my 3 year old Golden Doodle's food from Royal Canine to Nutro Dog Food because she was having really bad gas. The gas went away on new Nutro Dog Food but we started noticing that she was not as frisky as normal and she had a spell where she acted dizzy, started drooling and shaking. She did not fall down or pass out so we thought she had an inner ear problem. For the next 4 months she would have one of these spells. It ended up that these were minor seizures. After researching I found out that rosemary can cause seizures in dogs. I switched to a all natural food and she has not had a seizure since. I would not recommend this dog food.

Wow. Ditto, ditto, ditto. Exact same thing as the others here. 8 year old Golden Retriever starting being picky with food, did not want to eat, ate grass when outside, vomiting, no energy, was dizzy. Was not the same dog for a month. Went to the Vet (he specifically asked what brand of food). A bunch of money in vet bills. Did blood work and came back normal. Started cooking fresh chicken/rice temporarily until she felt better and she's a different dog. Doing research on what food now to use and came across these reviews. Will never use Nutro again!

I recently bought a new bag of Nutro small breed puppy food. The first day that we fed it to our dog she had an episode of vomiting. I didn't think too much of it. The next day, 30 minutes after her meal, she showed neurological signs. Stumbling, shaking and lethargic. A trip to the ER and activated charcoal and 6 hours later she was fine. The next day, 30 minutes after her meal, same thing. After visiting a neurologist and an internal medicine specialist as well as a battery of tests, all is normal with her. We switched her food immediately and she hasn't had an episode since. Buyer beware.

While this food may be good for your dog the packet I bought for my dog contains pellets that are ROCK hard and even after one hour in water remained in the same way. In the end hot water and oil softened them. How they can be digested otherwise is beyond me. If possible avoid giving this food to your dog as it will block up their colon and could lead to serious digestion problems.

Like other reviewers, I switched both my dogs over to Nutro Lamb & Rice (since it was on sale). Both dogs became ill nearly immediately. My Boston Terrier developed red eyes (with thick discharge), was very lethargic and began urinating uncontrollably throughout the house - which is completely out of character. In addition his fur became dull and began to fall out. My other dog, a Boston Terrier/Pug Mix began vomiting yellow foamy bile multiple times a day and was also extremely lethargic. Her eyes became bloodshot as well. This continued for almost a week before I realized that the food may be the culprit. I switched them back to their old food (Whole Earth Farms) and within a day they both regained energy. Their skin, fur and eyes looked significantly better and there were no more vomiting or urination issues. I'm confident, especially based on other similar accounts, that the food was to blame. Consumer beware.

This dog food was SEVERELY constipating for my little chihuahua. I tried everything to make it better. Gave her wet food in the morning and the dry food at night. Added digestive supplement with sweet potatoes and ginger. But nothing helped. When I walked her and picked up after her, her stools were the color and texture of concrete! I bought it this food because it advertised having fruits and vegetables in it. But they are in separate pieces. Unfortunately, my dog picked them out and would not eat them. Finally just returned the remainder of the bag to the store. I will NOT be buying Nutro again!!!

As other reviewers, our poodle mix didn't do too well with the switch in the dog food. She started vomiting and urinating uncontrollably about 5 days after the switch. We have switched back to Purina.

My wife and I just switched our toy poodles to Nutro because it was slightly less expensive than what we were feeding them (but it's certainly not cheap). Both dogs have been extremely healthy with no health problems. Within 5 days of our 9 year old starting on Nutro Senior dry dog food, he is vomiting repeatedly and has uncontrolled and bloody urination. The only thing that changed was this food and I looked and found MANY similar (and worse) complaints from dog owners. We thought this was a higher end brand but are now extremely concerned for our poor dog (the other dog is 5 and has been eating the Nutro Lite without any problems yet). We are returning this defective product immediately and ask that you at least research customer complaints on this brand who we thought we could trust... Never again.

My dog is flourishing on Nutro. I mix it with warm broth and anything else that I have left over. He also eats it mixed with tuna in water. He's a Tibetan Terrier and eats the small breed type which is not easily available.

I do not currently have dogs but when I did Nutro was the one food that was affordable and did not have a lot of junk in it. The dogs loved it and that was part of why I bought it.

Nutro has been the highest quality product for dog nutrition consistently in my experience. I pet sit and would recommend it to my clients for their dogs.

We use Nutro Natural Choice GRAIN FREE Venison and Chickpea for our pure bred German Shepherd. She has been on this dog food for over a year (previously we used Nutro Natural Choice GRAIN FREE Venison and Potato), which she was on for the previous 2 years. Her stools are good and she is happy to eat up everything.

This brand was recommended by the trainer of my Service Dog, Paris. She maintains a good weight, has plenty of energy and loves the taste. I also use it for training.

My dachshunds have very sensitive digestive systems. They like dry food, but eat very fast, and would end up vomiting whole pieces within minutes of eating. I switched to Nutro Max for sensitive systems. No more vomiting, shiny coats, and no dandruff. Nutro makes a quality product for a decent price.

I feed my doggies Nutro Lite kibble Rice and Lamb formula. They love it. I give them about 1/3 cup kibble in the morning with a couple of chunks of pineapple (prevents them from eating their own poop!) and with Nature's Valley chicken nuggets raw frozen food at night... one nugget each.

I have a five year old mixed breed (Shih-Tzu and Terrier). I adopted him when he was just 5 weeks old; a rescue dog from a humane shelter. When I went to Petsmart to buy food for him for the first time, a Nutro Rep was there. He talked to me about the food I had planned to buy and pointed out the differences between that brand and Nutro. I decided to try it and have bought nothing else since. My dog has never been ill and I attribute that to a good, balanced diet. I plan to stay with Nutro for his lifetime.

My dog will eat wet food better than dry so I found Nutro at my local pet store and he's been eating for several years and he seems to really like it. I have no complaints.

Chase was allergic to Purina and was itching all the time. Vet said nothing is wrong -"Dogs just scratch, it's normal." Well turns out the pet store owner was more helpful. Recommended Nutro, we've never looked back. No itching and scratching. We've tried both Nutro and Nutro Max, both worked great. I got another dog 2 years ago. Put her on Nutro, no problems with the food. I felt compelled to share a positive story amongst all the negativity.

It is very difficult to find dog food that isn't mostly corn/grain-based. Even the 'premium' name brands seem to have garbage ingredients unless you can find a particular variant that is in line with a dog's natural diet.

When Karma was still a pup (Karma comes from World Class Champions, German Shepherd), I was feeding her Nutro, canned turkey and gravy mixed with Nutro Dry Turkey and Gravy. She became very ill and almost died. I was feeding Karma poison and did not know it. The Chinese make Nutro Dog Food and most other pet foods. Lucky for Karma and me, the recall came before it killed her. Karma has been eating raw chicken and beef with chicken cooked in brown rice. She is now the picture of perfect health. There is not enough money in the world to buy Karma. Karma will never eat dog food again.

The dog likes Nutro Pet Foods and does not upset his stomach (lamb and rice variety). Price is good but would also prefer better ingredients. Haven't noticed anything different with his coat.

Nutro was the absolute worst food that I have ever given an animal. When my dog was on this food he had severe stomach problems to the point that he was throwing up bile. He was only eating the food for less than a month when this happened. When we finally settled his stomach down and started him on different food (Royal Canin Golden Ret.) and he did not have any of these problems. It has been almost 4 years since this episode and we have never had a repeat of this kind of stomach problem with him since switching foods.

I bought my first bag of Nutro recently based on the recommendation of an employee at my local chain pet store. My poor dog has been ridiculously sick for weeks. We've been to the vet 2 times and on 2 rounds of antibiotics for him to still be throwing up and losing weight and without energy. It finally occurred to me to start checking blogs. I read many similar stories to mine posted by owners feeding their dogs Nutro.

We have used Nutro for our adult male Mastiff 10 years and for our Shih tzu 7 years. I am not unhappy with the product. My dogs seem to like the food and they do not suffer from loose stools or any other issues as I can tell. As we do not try other foods I can only give simple specifics and since my dog cannot communicate other than to simply eat the food, I really feel as this is somewhat of a biased review. The thing I can say is that they eat it when I feed them and they do seem to enjoy their meals.

I wish I'd seen these reviews sooner! I recently changed my Chihuahua to Nutro Weight Management. A few days later, he became lethargic, started panting and running outside to eat grass. He threw up foamy bile. I rushed him to the vet and they said his liver was enlarged and his sugar level was high. They did blood work and it came back unreadable and had to be sent off to a special lab to be read.

Nutro natural is the best dog food for my dog. He has skin allergies, but doesn't itch when I feed him the fish and potato variety. He seems to really like it and eats it all right away. I like that the food is natural with no grain or corn. I think that has a lot to do with my dog not itching.

Used Blue Buffalo until they had a recall. Chose Nutro to replace Blue Buffalo. Nutro is the same high quality and cost is less. No reason to switch back to Blue Buffalo.

After initially eating a serving of the Nutro Senior food, my dog has not been eating (he smelled the food and walked away) for 2 days. Last evening he ate about half a serving, and I just woke up to port-wine colored urine and diarrhea in the living room. Then I did some research and found over 1,000 consumer complaints of the SAME symptoms with this food!!! I don't have the bag saved or I'd be contacting the company!

We started using Nutro Sensitive Skin and Stomach a few years ago and it cleared up all our dog's itchy skin problems. This summer they returned with a vengeance. Turns out the formula has changed. Why would they do that?! So upset that now we have to begin the process of finding another dog food.

My dogs love Nutro dry and wet foods. I have two small dogs so I use the dry food for adult small breeds and mix it with a bit of their wet food. I've tried both the wet food trays and cans. Recently I've been solely using the cans since they have more food in them. They really enjoy the steamed seasonal fish with sweet potato and anything made with chicken. I also buy their treats for my dogs' evening snack. And it's all natural and healthy for them at an affordable price.

Our dog (chow/shepherd mix) really loves the Nutro Lamb and Rice Small Bites. She turns her nose up whenever we try something else. Every vet check-up goes well and she's had not issues. Good weight and at 11 years old, she still plays like a pup.

I work at a pet store and Nutro has been trying to boost their brand, so they had given us vouchers for free Nutro. I have 4 dogs so anything helps! I first got the lamb and rice small bites and my dogs didn't like it, which is odd because they eat literally anything. The next bag I got was the farm harvest. Half way through the bag now, one of my dogs began panting uncontrollably, shivering, staring at the ceiling, drooling and had a fever. The vet said she was in pre-seizure and could go into one at any time. This is the 3rd case I know of just with coworkers! A Week ago another girl's dog seized after starting the farm harvest. A few weeks prior to that another dog seized so badly that it died, and this is just after switching to Nutro. Coincidence? I have no hard evidence to say it's the Nutro, but that's the only commonality and it's just too odd that 3 dogs with no history of seizures all had issues after being put on Nutro.

I have been a dog food rep for another company for 4 years. I worked beside a lovely Nutro rep those years!! After doing research, if my families couldn't afford my brand, I turned them over to Nutro. Last night I reviewed a call from my sister in law. Their lil doxie almost died from the recent lamb & rice. Like others stated, it looked different. It damn near killed lil Coco!! After every test was run, the vet cut her open, they immediately took her off Nutro!! Their bill is over $10,000... I told them to get an attorney. She asked me to read these statements. OMG, and no recall!!! Nutro, wake up. You've already killed some dogs, just grateful it wasn't mine!! Stand up and take responsibility. Trying to save money, changing your formulation is KILLING OUR BELOVED PETS!!!

Bought large breed senior. Made her vomit. Wouldn't eat or drink. Younger dog got into it because she wasn't eating it and is now also sick. Got rid of all that is left. I won't give this to my babies.

I just recently rescued a puppy two weeks ago when he was 12 weeks old. I heard great reviews from neighbors and petsmart about Nutro. I got the puppy chow and that night, he had runny diarrhea. Figured it was just the quick food change combined with young age. A week passes, he has been pooping on average 10 times sometimes more a days. All runny, mucus, different colors. So I decide to take him into the vet. They check his stool, came back negative for giardia and parvo. Now, two weeks in, he's losing weight, still going 10-12 times a day and is now today he started vomiting after he eats every time. No more Nutro for him.

Our chocolate lab, Gracie, has been eating Nutro Chicken and Rice food for some time. Recently, the packaging changed, but an email I received from the company assured me that it was still the same high quality food. When purchasing the most recent bag, my husband and I could not find "no wheat, soy or grain" marked on the bag. Gracie ate some of the food, but then refused to eat it and became ill. She had diarrhea and vomited on two occasions. She got increasingly ill and within a week's time could not walk without help. Our vet ran tests trying to find out what was wrong with her, to no avail. The final outcome was that we had to have her euthanized last Tuesday.

Recent problems with NUTRO? Read on... 20 years ago we became the "parents" of a wonderful male Westie, "Thor". He lived with us until 18 and then the "rainbow bridge". He had stomach, and skin problems. A breeder in CT, recommended NUTRO Lamb and Rice. We found the problem to be chicken. It cleared up everything. We adopted another dog last year, a rescue pup. We wanted her on NUTRO lamb and rice. We were told that we would have to go to LIMITED INGREDIENTS because chicken was now in NUTRO. We went to LIMITED. We were then told that LIMITED carried chicken. No notice, no labeling. Comment from supplier? "NUTRO has done an exceptional job of destroying and cheapening the brand." If you have problems with NUTRO, change for the health of your best friend.

My dog has been on Nutro dog food for sensitive stomach for a couple of years. Recently the packaging changed and my dog has started vomiting. Blood work is normal.

I usually feed my dog either IAMs or Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice without incident. I recently started researching dog foods and found our brands were considered crap so I decided to try Nutro Lamb and Rice in the hopes of feeding my dog a better chow. Two weeks into the bag she began vomiting bile in the night, hours after consuming dinner. Her bowel movements were very soft and yellowish. I only allowed two days to go by like this and took her off the food. I wanted to return it to Petsmart but threw it away instead because I was afraid they'd keep it and feed it to their day boarders. She's on IAMs again and is fine. I don't care if it's "low grade" food at least it won't kill her liver. Why no recall Nutro?

We recently moved and found a great vet for our Havenese. With his allergies the Vet recommended Nutro so we tried it and our dog started throwing up bile. So we switched to Nutro Ultimate with the heavy antioxidants the throwing up stopped and he did become more frisky but his itching returned. So started to do my home work again same thing has happened to Eukanuba, Dick Van Pattens brand and now Nutro. Major companies buy these brands cheapen the product line and heavily advertise the product that used to be in the bag. Now Nutro is owned by Mars.

I noticed that Nutro changed its packaging and recipe for the Sensitive Stomach Dry Food (it used to be darker brown) but our dog kept eating it. Last week he was trying to vomit all night and eventually did throw up some fluid. He ate breakfast (Nutro) and threw it all up in an hour. He's been to the vet, and blood work showed his organs are fine but has a bacterial infection. He's been on a variety of GI tract meds (Pepcid liquid, Convenia, Cerenia) and hasn't been eating or drinking. Two days ago he had a miraculous recovery, eating 1/2 a hot dog and a bit of cooked beef. Yesterday, he ate more Nutro and now he's relapsed. Lethargic, vacant-eyed, not eating or drinking anything...turns his nose away from any type of food or treat. We're going back to the vet and never buying Nutro again.

I am shocked to read these reviews of Nutro. My dog has had several attacks of diarrhea and vomiting lately, and yesterday she had a major one. I took her to the vet and she is on meds and rice and chicken diet. I went to the internet to check out reviews on Nutro and was stunned to find so many... and by people whose pets have the same symptoms as my dog. She is very ill. I am taking the Nutro back to PetSmart tomorrow. I emailed them and they said they would make a full refund even though I don't have my receipt.

My dog has been on this dog food for years. Toby had at least two episodes a year with Diarrhea and vomiting. The vet told me to put him on a boiled chicken and rice diet, and give him 1 1/2 teaspoons of Mylanta twice a day for about a week, and I should see him getting better. I thought he may have a sensitive stomach. Well, I decided to try Nutro Ultra for small senior dogs and that is when he felt really bad! Took him off that after reading bad results. So decided to put back on Natural choice again and then I started looking up Nutro dog food and this consumer affairs complaints I noticed. Over 1,000 complaints! Well that is all it took. My dog will never eat any of their dog food again. Taking back the bag to Petsmart and showing them these complaints. Someone needs to do something about this. Thank you all for your comments... You may have saved my Toby!

I started feeding my toy pomeranian the Nutro small breed rice, chicken and oatmeal, and the next day, he was lethargic, diarrhea, bloody stool. He was that way for a whole week even after taking him to the vet. They told me he had a problem in his intestines due to something he ate, and gave him medicine which helped him. When it was time to introduce him to dry food again, I decided to stick to Nutro, because it's hard to find real ingredients at an affordable price for dog food. This time I have been buying Nutro Ultra toy breed adult and he hasn't gotten sick. In fact, his coat looks healthier and he is just fine. I truly believe something is wrong with the Nutro chicken, rice and oatmeal kind after so many reviews I read and my own experience. But I am satisfied with the Nutro food I'm currently buying. There should definitely be a recall on the one I mentioned and I will make sure I never get that kind again!

12 yr old English Golden Will not eat food. Won't get up in am to eat. Panting. No energy, ears drooping, eyes sad. Took him to vet. Blood test/liver are normal. Giving him rice and cooked hamburger mixed in Nutro dog food but will stop Nutro tonight. Something's not right.

I could not pass up this opportunity to express how deeply saddened it is to read of all your disheartening experiences that have come about since purchasing the Nutro product line. I too had fallen unaware of such deception in what constitutes sound nutrition and meeting a holistic standard of quality for my pets; because since last year when looking up the company Seeds of Change and seeing my favorite seed company (as and LLC) had been no longer, had to do to with the fact that Mars Incorporated purchased them. Such a business transaction had not only taken care of any future purchase power I was going to choose to extend to the new shareholders (i.e Mars), but immediately put a stop to feeding my dog Nutro Choice and Nutro Max Lamb and Brown Rice Kibble Dog Food as I had done since 1986.

I am reading the comments on Nutro and Martz, said their dog was very sick & died. My dog these last few day Had Nutro & is having liver problems and I just purchased the toy breed adult dog food - chicken, whole brown rice, oatmeal. Now I am concerned for my dog - he is seriously ill! Vomiting, diarrhea and may not be alive in the next few days. The Vet says the liver and blood work was way off. Now, I am thinking this is first time that I used Nutro, but I had to travel and wanted a dry food. I had Never used this food before! What a nightmare - don't buy this food. I hope my dog makes it, but he is so close to death.

OMG. I was brought to this site via an Amazon complaint about worms. So I Googled it. I had no idea Greenies was a Nutro Company product. I use a brand of their dog food. My dog had been vomiting yellow foam for a while now. Looks like this is more than a Greenies issues. Looks like a complete manufacturing issue. I am changing his food TODAY! The fact that The Nutro Company has yet to address these complaints makes me SICK. I refuse to do business with a company that doesn't even care about the well-being of our pets!

I have been buying Max Cat Adult Roasted Chicken Flavor kibble for my cat, Gray Cat, for years. She really liked it, and I liked it because its location was City of Industry that is local to me. However, something changed one day. The color changed from brown to orange and my cat threw up several times. I tried other brands that she does not like, but at least she does not get sick. I bought it again hoping for the best, and I heard her hacking again and she was bloated. After a period, again I tried hoping brown and it was brown "the old color" and Gray Cat liked it. Then I bought it again, and it was orange again. I would not buy it so many times if it were not the one food my cat really liked. Ingredients read the same but it is not local address any more. Maybe the process changed when they moved. I'm just really sad for my cat. I have not contacted Max Nutro regarding this.

I had my dogs on Blue for some time and the husky got tired of it. So, I switched to a couple of different brands. My dogs loved the Rachael Ray that I can get at the grocery store. That said, Dogs will love anything, so I saw Nutro Balance and thought to buy as I heard good things about this food. They were okay with the food at first, but then on the 2nd bag they started getting diarrhea and vomiting. I gave my dogs steamed rice and chicken and they were okay. I gave them Rachael Ray Chicken with rice and they were okay with the food. I restarted the Nutro balance food again and they are getting sick. It's the food. One of my dogs has the diarrhea and the other husky vomits the next morning and his food is whole. It was not digested at all. I will not use this brand again. I bought the food from Chewy.com and they gave me a refund.

I started this ordeal in June 2015. My dog started vomiting after a new bag of Nutro Senior Chicken Whole Brown Rice and Oatmeal was fed to him. He had the same food for years. We took him to the vet and his liver enzymes were really high. He was treated with antibiotics and looked like he was going to make it. He only lasted 45 days. He was never a sick dog. We contacted Nutro, we filled all the paperwork they asked for, we authorized them to contact the vets (3), and never got a phone back or an email. We called, talk to customer service (after been on hold forever), never call us back. No answers from them. The worst thing is that we lost our dog. He suffered because of the bad food and we had to put him to sleep. DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD!!!

I decided to buy this brand because I had heard good things prior to my usual review on things like this. 3 of my 5 dogs became sick with vomiting and diarrhea. My 4th dog is lethargic and no appetite.

We have been feeding our dog Nutro Lite dry food for years. No issues. The two most recent bags had a bunch of small black bugs in them and white worms. They were the older looking bags from Petco. We bought the sealed ones at PetSmart and will look more closely. Our dog has seemed more tired the last couple of days so hoping he will start feeling better with the new bag. If we find any more bugs may have to switch to another brand.

I have had my dogs on Nutro brand Lamb and Rice dog food for over 10 years with no complaints. However, the last 2 bags had different packaging and the kibble looked different... Not brown like they used to be, but yellowish in colour. For the last month, my Border Collie, who used to devour his food, started picking at it. He would either sniff it and walk away or take a few in his mouth and drop them on the floor and walk away. His stools became soft, with mucous and blood 1-1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was simply the heat of the summer and his age. My Jack Russell Terrier wasn't quite as picky and ate it until last week, until he started having the same bowel movement problems that my Border Collie had. I narrowed it down to the Nutro dry food and have replaced it with Wellness Core Dry Food six days ago.

Within hours of feeding this to both my 12 year old pug and 2 year old Pitbull, both had diarrhea... Everywhere for days. I wish I had read these reviews first. This seems to be a common theme among consumers. Thank god I got them pureed pumpkin and was able to nurse them back to health. It ruined their stomachs & my carpet... Not to mention the puke. It was so hard seeing them in pain and not able to hold their bowels for more than ten minutes. They were both lethargic and sad with their tails tucked under not knowing what was happening to them. I feel terrible for buying this for them, but mark my words, it will NEVER happen again.

My 55# Catahoula Cur (10 years old) has been on Canidae Rice & Lamb and on Blue Rice & Lamb. The latter greatly improved her fur: very little grease and no smell. I recently switched to Nutro Rice & Lamb, which she had many years ago as well. Her fur stayed well, so I got the second 30# bag of Nutro, this time chicken because it was on sale. The kibble was different, golden yellow circles (like cheerios). She started having trouble with her bowel movements, they seemed to bother her and they were slow, yellow and slimy. She started to lose interest in walks. The second bag was lamb, and I talked at PetSmart about the changed color and size of the kibble and not being too impressed.

I'm very glad I found this page which verified my suspicion that Nutro has changed its formula. It took me a long time to find a food for my yellow lab that didn't make him itch and throw up. I thought Nutro Venison and Brown Rice was it and have been using it for several years. Recently, I opened a new bag and he has been itching and throwing up for several weeks off and on, which has gradually become more often. I'm throwing out this bag and have him eating rice and hamburger until I go get him some Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Stomach food. I hope that will relieve his torment!

My dog has been severely sick and stopped eating. Both of my dogs didn't touch their food for 2 days. I threw out the food, cleaned the bowls and gave them a fresh batch. One dog ate the entire bowl from starvation and the other ate a few bites and left it. Later the sickness came back. Diarrhea everywhere. I was searching for recalls and saw the other comments. Something is wrong with this food.

I am severely disappointed in this dog food we got for our golden basset. We were hoping to improve his diet, but instead I have found that it is much worse for him than even Purina One. We put him on this food a month ago and everything was fine. A couple of weeks into it he started vomiting yellow bile twice a day. We tried feeding him more frequently, thinking that his stomach was empty but it did not help. We switched to a bag of leftover Purina One, which we have used with other dogs and he was fine the next day. After a few days we tried Nutro again and he's back to vomiting. Last night he refused to even eat it. We emptied his dish and gave him Purina and he gobbled it down like he was starving. I've heard about dog foods that essentially starve the animals nutritionally but I always assumed it was the cheap brands. Sorry to say I think Nutro is one of these.

My border collie has been eating Nutro his whole life. The day after we started the new bag he became extremely gassy. Quickly progressed to bloating and pain. I decided to check for recalls and now see that the company was sold. The new recipe being used is making my boy miserable. Before this happened I would have happily given Nutro 5 stars. I'm going to return the food first thing tomorrow morning and I will not be buying Nutro again!

My dog has been on this food for 5+ years. The 30# bag I just purchased is golden yellow kibble, the previous and all bags has been dark brown kibble. Not only has the bag design changed, so has the food. My 8-yr old Tervuren had major stomach distress and soft & diarrhea stools. I've switched to Bench & Field Holistic Natural Canine from Trader Joe's, cheaper and tons better, already after 1 feeding, stools are normal. I heard Nutro has been sold to a new company. Geez. New company, get a clue, you've ruined us long time customers, never going back!!

I have bought Nutro lamb and rice for my two golden retrievers for nine years. One of my dogs had issues and could not eat anything but lamb. For this reason they both ate the same. I find every time I go to purchase for at least the last two months my selection keeps changing. The first being the canned adult lamb and rice ground, which listed it as Savory. I used this ground food into hollow bones, freeze them and my last surviving golden Meadow gets this pupcical every night. After using this food she had a bout of severe diarrhea.

Decided to try my boxer Brutus on this food and he threw up the food... Which from reading about it I am glad he threw it up. What I want to know is what is wrong with the dog food companies that they don't seem to care about animals lives. I will throw away this bag of food as I don't want any other dog getting sick on this stuff. Sounds as if these companies make bad cat food too...

I have been feeding our dogs Nutro for 7 years and never have had a bad experience, I want to make that clear, until recently. I bought a bag of the Nutro Salmon and Sweet Potato blend, like I normally do and found out this is what suddenly has caused my Golden Retriever to have a serious bout of diarrhea and my Chihuahua mix to vomit. This went on for a couple of days and I determined it had to be the food. The day I switched to Science Diet Ideal Balance everything cleared up for both dogs. I believe Nutro needs to take a closer look at this problem and recall their dog food. Due to the fact we place the dog food in a bin once we bring it home, I do not have the UPC to let you know the code. However we did purchase it the end of July of 2015.

We've been feeding our Pit Bull Nutro brand foods her entire 12 year life; our other Pit as well before she passed. We've had to change from the high protein grain-free chicken to the salmon and chickpea recipe as she had an allergic reaction to the chicken recipe. Since the new bags have been out, our dog has had increasingly more severe gastrointestinal distress. Her stomach is constantly gurgling, and we've had two separate occasions of raging mucous covered diarrhea in the house. This is not a dog that goes to the bathroom in the house.

I have been buying Nutro dog food (lamb & rice for adult dogs) since I have had our 3 English Bulldogs. They are approaching 7 yrs old!! We have never had any problems until the last couple of bags we have bought. They started vomiting regularly (almost every day). I have taken them to the Vet only to find out they couldn't find anything wrong!! After reading all of the problems everyone is having with this food, I will no longer feed my babies another crumb of this garbage!!! Something has changed with the recipe and they can't convince me it hasn't!!! One of my babies started having seizures this week also. I have no idea if the food has anything to do with it but I'm not taking a chance and changing food as of today!! I have been a loyal customer for 7 yrs. purchasing 3 - 30lb bags every 2 months at $50 a bag, that's a lot of money I have spent!! Sorry Nutro, you just lost another loyal customer!!

I gave 3 stars because I'm only on their 1st bag. I switched from Blue Buffalo LP senior. After being on blue for years and very happy with it, both my dogs started getting sick. Long story short... my dogs are doing much better on Nutro. Poop looks better and they poop less. FYI when I took my dogs into the vet for being sick, he told me several of his clients had recent complaints about BB, and for the last few months their quality has gone down.

I don't know why people only write reviews to whine and cry about things and no one ever writes them to say hey its a good product. Squeaky annoying wheels get the grease. I have seen varieties of food make dogs sick and others be fine on it. As for finding bugs... Check where you got it from. My dog meantime has been on this brand since he hit adulthood and has had no issues. He maintains a great weight, healthy coat and no illnesses. He eats the lamb and rice small bites and looks forward to his mealtimes. Anytime he has been sick has been due to eating things he shouldn't have like grass or deer poop.

Nutro Natural has assisted in the stomach issues my boy developed from Parvo. All of my dogs have soft hair and normal health. I switch it up to keep their interest and no stool issues with the transition. I have tried other foods and they had stomach issues. My boy had rough hair that gave my bf allergic reaction instantly. Since he has been in Nutro Natural his coat is softer and creating less reactions. Almost hypoallergenic. I have 3 pits and I wouldn't give them anything else. Affordable and great for my babies. A LOT better than Gravy Train Lol!

As soon as name changed on bag my 11 yr old chihuahua had explosive diarrhea. Took to vet. 170 dollars later, found nothing wrong, went home on Kao for dogs. For weeks we go back and forth between vomit and diarrhea. Called Tractor Supply no recalls. Put her on chicken and rice homemade. She felt better. Back to Nutro, back to audible belly noises. Today I changed dog foods because my mom said her chihuahua's bloating quit after changing to Science Diet. My dog had also been bloated after eating. Hoping for a full recovery!!!

I fed my cats this food for the first time this morning. Ten minutes later they are projectile vomiting. I have never seen a cat vomit like that. It was frightening. I will never feed my cats this food ever again.

I am so upset and disappointed right now that I don't know how to start writing this review! I have a 1 year old male Beagle who have been feeding on Nutro Chicken, whole brown rice and oatmeal recipe as per recommendation from a Pet Supermarket associate. Right after we started him on this food, our dog has presented several episodes of bile foam vomiting, making them periodically as well as very soft stool. We thought that the dog was stomach sensitive and may have acid reflux so we took him to the Vet. After several Vet visits with the same issue, he was sent home with some medicine to treat the vomiting and diarrhea. Little that we know, he will improve immediately under a bland diet and medication and right after transitioning to his regular food the same episodes will come back again. We didn't know what to do but we knew our dog was getting sick little by little. :(

I changed my dog from Purina ProPlan to Nutro Choice Lamb and Rice Light as he had put on a few extra pounds and he is allergic to chicken. I switched him about 3 or 4 months ago. In the last month he has been vomiting, doesn't want to go for walks and has a UTI and crystals in his urine. I have had him for 3 years and he has never had a UTI before. The 2 weeks of antibiotics haven't cured his UTI and I have to take him back to the vet this weekend. I truly believe it is the dog food and I will never buy or recommend Nutro Choice to anyone. He has been back on the Purina ProPlan one day and already he is showing signs of improvement!!!

Small Breed Adult Chicken, Whole Brown Rice & Oatmeal Recipe - Our 3 year old Shih Tzu has been eating Nutro dog food since he was 6 weeks old. Periodically he would get sick and throw up bile foam. We thought it was due to having an empty stomach. However recently my hubby bought a new bag of food and within the week he has been vomiting up the food, and yellow bile in addition to diarrhea. Well our dog has never had diarrhea so immediately we got him to the Vet. The Vet ran blood work and his liver levels were high and he was also dehydrated, poor baby.
