Nutro Dog Food Reviews

I have two Yorkies, one 16 year old with stomach issues & 12 year old with collapsed trachea issues. They absolutely love this food. I alternate and give them both (dry & wet). They have been on this food for about a year. My 16 yr old no longer has stomach issues!! Unfortunately, they discontinued only the wet chunky gravy. Luckily, the kibble was not. Onto a my journey to find something similar that they will love. Nutro Ultra please bring back the wet chunky gravy!!!

Nutro Essentials Dry Dog Food Toy Breed has the smallest bites that I have found. The perfect chihuahua dry dog food. My chihuahua had stopped eating dry dog food, for several years. I tried just about every dry dog food there was, and she refused to eat even the best, including Blue Buffalo. She loves Nutro Toy Breed and has for several years now. She does not like the Nutro Small Breed as much as the Toy Breed. She just loves these tiny bites.

Three of my four dogs started vomiting. We took them to the vet and they were prescribed medication which didn’t help, in fact had to make an emergency call on a Sunday! They vomited their food either right after they ate it or around 3 o’clock in the morning! It was undigested food! After changing to a different brand the vomiting stopped almost immediately!

I've been feeding my dog Nutro lamb and rice since he was a 12 week old pup, started with the puppy food and then switched to adult. He is now 15 months old. About a month ago (after buying a new bag of Nutro lamb and rice) he started to throw up his food several hours after eating. This went on for 3-4 days and then he refused to eat the food. I called the Vet and started him on a bland homemade diet, he immediately stopped throwing up. After over a week on a bland diet, I started to intro Nutro again, just to have him suffer with horrible stomach gurgles and really bad diarrhea. I contacted the Mars Pet company via email with my pet's detailed story to get some info, have they changed the recipe?

Purchased a bag of Nutro lamb mix dry food and it near killed my dog along with a friend's dog as well so I complained about it and all it was is a ** show from insurance guys sending me false information and documents from Mars and the insurance company!!!! Steer clear of these douche bags as they're criminals in every way possible.

We purchased Nutro at Walmart. Our dog has been having yellow diarrhea on & off. Now I’m reading other people are experiencing serious health issues with their pets & the use of WALMART NUTRO!!! I will never buy Nutro again or dog food from Walmart.

Long time user of Nutro Lamb and Rice small kibbles for a 17 pound adult dog. The day after opening a 6 lb. bag purchased in April 2019 our dog did not want to be touched and did not want to lie on her side. Two days later, the dog developed a yellow watery diarrhea. Her appetite and water consumption did not change during this time. Kept giving her the daily food for 3-5 more days. Diarrhea did not change. Took her to the vet who prescribed a bland diet (in limited amounts) of rice and boiled white chicken meat. Continuing the bland diet for another week, did not slow the yellow watery diarrhea. Doctor then prescribed a different probiotic and Purina EN kibble. Today is the day after the first Purina EN diet day. This morning's stool was formed, not watery, and not yellow in color. Except for Nutro purchased in April, I cannot identify other factors that might have caused the digestive upset.

I have fed this food for years! And have had many dogs that I have rescued off the streets even on it. I see their coats get better within a week. I currently have 3 dogs that are mine, and they have been on Nutro their whole lives. I have never had a problem with them getting sick or diarrhea. Now that everyone is out of puppy stage, I feed my 3 year old Aussie and my 1 yr old Lab mix the Nutro Ultra Adult (chicken/lamb/salmon) and my 12 year old Staffie the Nutro Ultra Senior food (chicken/lamb/salmon).

It first happened "coincidentally" around the same time Nutro started selling in WalMart. I opened my dogs food and it looked wrong, but smelled fine, package intact. My pet wouldn't eat it. They had changed the formula, reducing the lamb content and increasing the chicken content - a cheaper ingredient. Both of my dogs require special diets, and cannot just change foods, which is what Nutro did. It was not on the product packaging unless you read the ingredients, or ANYWHERE on the product page of their web site - I discovered it by digging into their FAQ's. I contacted the company for a refund of my pricey dog food and when I REALLY pushed they conceded that all the lamb formula dry dog foods were being changed to increase chicken - which wasn't even supposed to BE an ingredient in my other dogs "Limited Ingredient Diet Lamb & Rice formula".

My lab has been on Nutro for the last 4 years. When we opened the most recent bag purchased in April 2019, my dog was sick with diarrhea that same night. She was sick for the next 4 days until we finally stopped feeding it to her and started her on a bland diet. I reached out to the company a week ago and have yet to hear back. They either changed their ingredients or something went wrong at the plant, Either way a recall is needed in my opinion. Would not recommend until they release information on what happened this spring and publish how they will fix.

I bought the adult lamb and rice Nutro dog food and started mixing 1 cup with 1 cup Purina puppy food as I was transitioning my puppy to adult food. It took about a month to get through the 15 lb bag. Then I stopped the puppy food and went solely to the Nutro. About a week in, my 6 month old border/aussie started having liquidy, yellow diarrhea. It took me about another week to realize it was the Nutro. My dog had stopped eating as much and then didn't want to eat the food at all. We thought she was sick and this was why. I would mix in a little chicken broth so she would eat (after the fact, I regret forcefeeding her this poison). She also drank very little water, which was worrisome because of the diarrhea.

Since we have Chihuahuas, we need the petite sized bites. These are hard to find in most brands with the nutrition we desire for them. Nutro has two varieties with the petite size kibbles and we have used them for our dogs and have suggested them to other family members with small dogs. We have found that our pets are all satisfied and healthy while using the Nutro Ultra as well as the regular Ultra. We have tried other brands, but we keep going back to the Nutro since the dogs seem to like it best and we are satisfied with the ingredients.

I got a bag of this for my 4 month old German Shepherd because of the good reviews and it was a horrible mistake! After about a week and a half my puppy would throw up in his kennel around 5:30-6:340am, like clockwork. A yellow bile substance. I thought it was because of the late night treats he would get before bed, but when I cut those out he would still do it 3 nights a week. He was also consistently gaining 3 lbs a week on the food we started him out on, which was Purina One Large Breed puppy Food. Well the past 2 weeks he has maintained and even lost a pound. Did some digging on the food and it is apparently a thing with Nutro, the throwing up in the middle of the night. I feel bad that he was on it for as long as he was!

We have been using Nutro Chicken/Brown Rice Large Breed Puppy food for our Wheaten Terrier since he was 12 weeks old and he seems to like it a lot. He is 1 1/2 years old and we are switching to Large breed Adult Nutro Chicken/brown rice. Made in U.S.A without anything added from anywhere else.

I buy food that has meat in the first couple of ingredients. I avoid any non-meat meal or meat by-products. Peas are something that should be down the ingredients label. Look for vitamins and minerals with a strong percentage of proteins.

Bear died with complications of Protein Losing Enteropathy due to bad batch of this food. I cannot begin to tell people how guilty I feel for feeding him this. I am lost without him. Shame on you Nutro and shame on Petsmart for selling it.

Our three dogs are healthy and have shiny, thick coats. Other dog food brands we have tried seem to have caused itching and dull coats. Ingredients indicate Nutro is a healthy, grain-free pet food.

We have been feeding our Mia, Nutro Essentials Small Breed dry dog food since she was a puppy. She's going to be 5 this Sunday. I opened a new 15lb. bag of the Nutro Essentials Small Breed Adult and she started puking a few hours later. Not realizing it was the food making her sick for a couple days, went to feed her breakfast and she would not eat it. Just looked at the bowl and looked me. Put two and two together then.

We buy her Limited Ingredient Diet venison food. For the biggest bag it is about $70. One of the most expensive in the Pet Store. You cannot buy it at the grocery store. The price, availability, make me not want to buy it. However it’s the only food that my dog poops out Solid. It does cause her stool to be black.

Own three dogs of varying ages, size and activity levels. Dogs are healthy and satisfied. I feel the food is a bit pricey but worth it. I use auto delivery and reorder via Chewy.com for best available pricing and convenience.

I have been feeding my dogs Nutro for Years. I feel as if this food has given them the best life possible. No unnecessary vet visits, healthy teeth, gums, over all good health. Love this food and so do my dogs.

We went through many dog foods to find the one right for our Rottweiler. Nutro has been the best so far for his sensitive stomach. He loves the taste and does not have any bad side effects with this brand. Thank you!

My dog's breeder recommended Nutro Ultra and I've fed my dog this food all his life. He has GREATLY exceeded the life expectancy for his breed -- he is nearly 14 (vs. normal expectancy of 8-10 years) and his health has been excellent.

My Miniature Poodle is over 16 years old and has been a picky eater for most of her life. Last year I tried a different food for her. NUTRO WHOLESOME ESSENTIALS, small breed Senior. I basically fill her bowl, and she eats what she wants, normally about a cup and a half. Great product. J **, Charlotte NC

In general it is very good dog food but my dog lost its interest in eating it unless I add additional wet food together. We have also try other brand of dog food but we like Nutro for its nutritional value (less filler content and also right balance of protein content). Comparing to Blue Buffalo brand which has too high protein content it will lead to weight gain issue for most dogs.

I love the easy to read and natural ingredients. My dog's particular favorite (as of today...he changes) is the sweet potato and any meat...so you've got choices. Feed your dog the way you would your humans...with love and wholesome nutrition for a full belly and happy days!

When I first got Roscoe he was on a high end food that made him "explode." For my dogs, in the past, I've used Nutro Lamb & Rice and, once I started feeding it to Roscoe he has had very little stomach difficulties.

We fed our dog canned Nutro food since we got him at 8 weeks and he loved it. Nutro decides to change the formula and add chunks of vegetables in it and he won’t eat it. Hasn’t eaten in two days. Had to change brands of dog foods. Thanks a lot Nutro!!

Suddenly making my 18 month old dog sick. My little dog has been on this food since she was a puppy.. I bought a bag a few weeks ago... She started throwing up. Urinating in my house, passing gas.. And did not seem herself. I would have never thought it was the food causing issues.. Being I have given to her since she was 3 months old.. There were also times she refused to eat it! We could not figure out what was wrong with her. I was so worried I ended up calling my vet and was told to start eliminating everything I feed her one at a time for a few days. Well she has been off this for a few days now and has been perfect! NO MORE ISSUES! This food needs to be recalled ASAP!

Within a few hours of feeding this product to our dog he began having stomach distress, with frequent loud expulsions of gas, followed by severe diarrhea. He's a house trained adult who never "goes" indoors, but he was incontinent and has had a number of accidents. No indication of this being a problem but now when you go to the Nutro website and try to pull up the webpage for this product, it appears to have been taken down.

He (Lab) loved his Nutro wholesome essentials when we first got him at 8 weeks old. Now at 10 months old, within the last month or so he has been puking early in the mornings and constantly eating grass to make himself sick, and has been having severe diarrhea. We have been feeding him the lamb and rice dry food. It was to the point where he didn't touch his food for over 24 hours. First thing we did was change his food. And guess what, he is back to normal! Recently Nutro has changed their ingredients to make it cheaper and using more chicken meal. We switched him to Go! Solutions by Petcurean. We highly recommend if you are having issues with Nutro.

I have been feeding my Pomeranian JoJo Nutro Small Breed and Toy Breed and when he eats he's not active and just sleeps. No energy and two days ago he vomited yellow bile. I am upset cause I didn't know Nutro is making dogs sick. It's shameful they kept this a secret at the expense of my dog eating food that is making him sick.

I raised both ten year old Papillons on this food. Recently I started seeing it on the shelves at places like Walgreens and Dollar General. This gave me great pause. 2 years ago we adopted a larger rescue and starting buying the Nutro cans of the same food. There was so much gel, the poor dog began having horrible re-flux issues. We stopped and bought more of the smaller packs for her as well. About 2 months ago we bought a case of the chicken and rice from PetSmart and had to return it. The food inside was old and grey tone. They apologized and gave us the "new" look packets.

I have been feeding my 3 dogs Nutro wet food packaged in the small trays, for the past 5 years. Nutro changed their packaging and formula for the worse. Not only do my dogs not like it, it has made them sick. By process of elimination it was determine that the new formulation Nutro was the culprit. I’ve read online reviews of many pet owners having experience the same results as I have. I noticed when I opened a tray that it has way too much gelatin. I would say 20% of the tray is nothing but gelatin. I actually had to scoop it off before I feed them. Never again! I wish Nutro would bring back their old formula.

I’ve used this food for years. In the last 6 months my dogs (dachshunds) have been having diarrhea and vomiting. The vet cannot figure it out. I read these reviews because it seems that when I feed them that’s when they get sick! I will not feed them this crap again! It has to be this food! Too many reviews to say otherwise! If either of my dogs die because of this I will sue these people! I even had one of my pets' poop analyzed and it said she is not digesting this food correctly! Please stop feeding your dog this food. I think they have changed the recipe!

I have been feeding my Boston Terrier Daisy Nutro natural for seven years. She became ill in August and I did not make the connection with Nutro until recently. She passed away on August 20, 2018 suddenly. 40s before she passed away she stopped eating as much then two days later she became lethargic. And she passed away two days later. My son’s dog a boxer only nine years old passed away from cancer of the tumor in his brain and in his mouth and he also ate the Nutro natural dog food. His dog and my dog play together all the time and eat the same food. I Daisy was only a trooper just turned nine. They’ve been together since they were born and now they’re both gone, With one thing in common Nutro natural. If you’re reading all these reviews and seeing how other pets Responded to it, I really think the loss of these two sweet pets was aided by Nutro natural.

I have a 10-month old miniature Dachshund who has always been fed Nutro wet food and Nutro kibble. I have been buying the 12-pack turkey and chicken trays since he transitioned to adult food after his neuter a couple months ago. Over the last couple weeks, he has been reluctant to eat, which is odd because he usually eats anything and everything. He’s also been less energetic after meals and wanting to lie around after eating. Last night after dinner, he began vomiting violently and having explosive diarrhea, tremors, and loss of motor function. I’m handing the remaining unopened trays of food over to the vet in hopes she can identify what in the food caused his symptoms.

My 2 Yorkies have been getting sick off of this dog food. I have bought this dog food for the past 7 - 9 years and I never realized that my dogs were getting sick periodically. This would happen when the labeling and or ingredients would change from time to time. I noticed this particular time that my "Lamb" diet food was not being eaten and when I decided to wash my dogs bowl I noticed this "Lamb" diet smelled strongly of fish. My dogs currently have diarrhea and have been very lethargic.

If I could give negative stars I would. Our regular vet had us put our Golden Pyrenees on Nutro nearly 2 years ago to help with her weight... She loved food, especially if it was within her reach such as dinner table, kitchen counter. It seems that Nutro changed their packaging and even naming of food not long ago which, I read here others think they changed the formula and I’m inclined to agree since her symptoms showed up about 2 35 lb bags into the change. She never had nor was suspected of having any heart issues but her diagnosis from vet hospital, after xrays, ultra-sounds, visible symptoms, blood work was DCM and CHF, Thrombocytopenia, Pulmonary thromboembolism and cranial vena cava thrombosis and Acute Kidney Injury.

I have 2 dogs, a 10 yo and a 2 yo. They have both been eating Nutro Small Bites Lamb and Rice. The 10 yo has been on Nutro for many years. They both threw up yellow bile 4 days ago and they both suffered loss of motor function. After finding this site, with others having similar experiences with Nutro, we switched their food. The 2 yo bounced back immediately. It took the 10 yo 72 hours to get most of his motor function back. We will not feed them Nutro ever again!!!

We fed our dog Nutro dry dog food since she was a pup. Normally purchased the food at Petsmart. In November of 2018 I discovered that Walmart started carrying the same food, still branded Nutro in the exact same bag, for several dollars cheaper. Those of you that know Nutro realize this food is not cheap. Within a week my dog started getting sick - at that time we did not suspect that it was the food. She continued to eat it and became sicker. With Vets input we changed food and there was much improvement in her BM - from water to a paste. Later discovered it was in fact the Nutro HOWEVER we caught it too late (please mind that this dog was taken to the vet on a regular basis and no illness was ever ignored, or treatment postponed).

These treats gave all 3 of my dogs food poisoning, one of them almost died. This company will not respond to anything about this experience and denied this experience even after I provided them with the vet bill/notes showing that they had food poisoning. Do not buy these treats. Their treats have been recalled in the past. These treats are dangerous!!!

We have a 10-year old Pomeranian. He has been on Nutro for about 8-years now and he really loves it! We get the Nutro Max Grain Free Mini Chunks (great for small dogs!) and the senior Hearty Stews wet food. He does great on this diet and has lots of energy and excellent fur coat. When our vet let us know to switch him over to senior food we could not find the mini-chunks in senior. Turns out they do not produce this. Our vet stated it would be OK to keep him on the adult mini-chunks but to switch his wet food to the senior option. This seems to work fine. I would recommend to Nutro to make all of their wonderful dry foods with a mini-chunk size for those of us with smaller dogs.

My dog had a severe reaction to a flea and tick medication last fall. He’s an 8 lb long hair chihuahua. He lost 1/3 of his total body hair — developed quarter-sized sores on his skin with a severe case of seborrhea. His skin was literally peeling off of him. He stopped eating or drinking for a couple of days so we rushed him to the vet. Put on antibiotics and a fungicide — prescribed Douro Seborrhea Shampoo and we decided to do an allergy test on him for foods. After force feeding him canned food by hand for a week, he finally recovered. The allergy tests came back and the results were shocking — he was highly allergic to 19 foods out of a 25 item panel. The only thing he was NOT allergic to was lamb, beef and rabbit — that’s it. So the hunt was on for a kibble that had severely limited ingredients. After researching for a month, I finally settled on Nutro Limited Ingredient Lamb and Sweet Potato Small Bites.

Bought a bag of Nutro thinking it was quality food. Started feeding it to my GSD on Thursday and almost immediately she started with diarrhea. It's now Sunday and it has got so bad that she is suffering. I have come to the conclusion it's the Nutro food because she was fine before I started feeding her this. The dry food is the only change made to her diet so it must be this Nutro dry causing her problem. Now I have to throw away an almost full bag of food. Not risking feeding her any more of this.

Earlier this year, my young dog started itching and I was wondering about a food allergy. She was on Nutro Small Bites for adults. Food allergies are a tricky thing to diagnose, but after reading all the horrid reviews, we decided to make a change and we just put her on Castor & Pollux brand. She hasn't had any problems since. Since my senior was doing well on his food that he had eaten for over 5 years, we continued giving Him the Nutro Senior.

I purchased Nutro Dog Food on Saturday, 1/5/19 at the Walmart in Sevierville, TN. I fed a total of 4 cups to my puppy, 2 cups per meal time. This was my first time purchasing Nutro Dog Food of any type. I read the ingredients, I liked the packaging and I felt that the food would be good for my puppy. My puppy consumed all 4 cups of the puppy food. Later that evening, she became very lethargic; no jumping and running around, no smiling, no licking, and no playing.

My dog ate for a few weeks, then one day started throwing up yellow bile and had bloody diarrhea for about a week. I took her to the vet and she got Rx dog food, antibiotics and a clean bill of health. Assumed it was something she might have eaten off the street (this happened before because of that, we live in a city), so never thought it would be the dog food. She stopped wanting to eat it so much after that, but I thought perhaps because it was a weight management formula (so less tasty?). Anyway, she spent time at my mother's house where she ran out of this dog food and ate my mother's dog's food and gobbled that up and had no problems. We came home and two days back into this dog food she is throwing up yellow bile and has bloody diarrhea again. After reading the reviews, clearly it's this food! Will never buy Nutro again.

My dog has eaten this for a couple years. Lately she does not want to eat it. This last bag I purchased, she ate for two days, twice a day. Each time she got sicker and sicker. The last time after throwing up, she was literally foaming at the mouth. I cleaned it off and watched for several hours as her nose and mouth had excess dripping and saliva dripping. My dog never, ever has nasal or saliva dripping. She was very ill. I have not fed her any more and changed her food. She now eats happily and is doing much better. I thought I was buying her one of the best foods on the market but now I know better. Never again.

Came to the site looking for answers regarding diarrhea, I'm sure 100% is the Nutro small bites because both of my dogs got sick at the same time, same day of making the switch, I have Schnauzers. They will go back to their old food tomorrow.

Introduced my dog to Nutro and within a few days she started having diarrhea and bloody stools. Switched her back and she seems to be doing better. I see many reviews with the same problem. Don't buy this poison.

We have had a healthy happy active dog. Even at 12 years old people are always shocked at how young he acts. We have fed him Nutro for a while now, and this last batch has cost us hundreds in vet bills. He started vomiting yellow bile, pooping blood and mucus, then it escalated to bloody vomit all within a week of starting this bag. We had no idea what was causing this. Took him to vet, and they could not find anything wrong after a bunch of tests. Put him on a bland rice and chicken diet and he was great for 2.5 weeks. We slowly introduced the Nutro back in and 2 days later he vomited more blood than before. It took him 2 days to snap out of whatever daze he was in. This food would have killed him. NEVER NEVER GIVE THIS FOOD TO ANY PET.

While traveling home from West Virginia for work I remembered we were almost out of puppy food for our Labradoodle. I stopped at a Rural King and decided to try the Nutro puppy food. Mixed it with the remaining food but by the third day he was vomiting about 90 minutes after eating as well as acting like a old dog not a puppy. I first thought he found something outside and ate it while going out to do his business but not the case. After Googling I found all these other reviews and the problems from 2008 and stopped giving the food. Made a emergency run to the pet store and switch to another brand. So far so good. No problems. He is back to bouncing off the walls

I have been buying this for my dog for years, but recently she has been vomiting up the food, bile only! She even got to the point she wouldn’t eat at all, so I have been giving her boiled chicken and rice for a few weeks now and no problem. Poop is back to normal and she’s not eating grass or lethargic anymore. Please stop feeding this product to your animals. This is insane. I purchased the food at Walmart here in Virginia.

We have been using Nutro brand dog food (adult /lamb) for about 6 months. I've noticed my dog has been vomiting a few times a week, sometimes only a few times a month. Originally I thought it could have been the breath freshener drops I was adding to the water; however, we discontinued this product 3 months ago and the vomiting has continued. Unfortunately I located a series of questionable reviews dating back over 10 years when the company was under investigation for dog illness and death. I will be switching products.

I've been feeding my now 15 year old Jack Nutro for almost 2 years now. About a week ago she started becoming lethargic and hiding under furniture, which is totally out of character for her even at her age. Shes a jack and always been very active. She then started vomiting only bile and pretty violently and stopped wanting to eat her kibble (also out of character). I switched her to rice and boiled meat as I was worried she was starving and she gobbled it up, no appetite problems there. The next day I mixed a little bit of the kibble with some warm water and wet food. All she would do is lick the food and then pick out the kibble and spit it on the ground. This is when I knew it had to be something wrong with the kibble. Saw other reviews having the same problem as me and I discontinued feeding her the Nutro kibble right away. Slowly her bowel movements have been improving along with her mood. It's a big "No" for me from this point on.

My mini schnauzer, like the other reviewer's dogs, was on Nutro and it made him ill. He was quiet and kind of depressed looking, not active, then came the diarrhea with mucous and blood and lots of it (I was having to clean his rear by hosing it off or showering him, then wiping/blotting dry) - none of which is his norm. I was buying small Nutro bags at my local Stop N Shop Food store after his last food wasn't holding his interest, thought I'd switch him off for a while then eventually go back. I kept him on this poison for almost 3 weeks before making the connection.

For over a month my dog had been vomiting bile every day. I thought it was the usual dog hair vomit from her constant licking so I let it go. I finally took her to the vet and he suggested Hills Prescription Diet canned food. He also gave me a prescription for vomiting. I gave her one dose of the prescription and fed her the canned food. It was almost immediate that her demeanor changed and she hasn’t vomited once since the food change. I suspected it might be the food because she would eat it toward the end of the day but it was almost because she felt like it was better than nothing and I really thought she was avoiding it.

We have a 4 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever. She has been the perfect eater since a Pup, Never missed a meal. Never turned her nose up to a meal. Just recently we switched her food up as we have done in the past and decided to try Nutro. Our dog who will eat anything without an issue, eats this food when she is given it, But instantly gets sick right after eating it. We give her boiled white rice and chicken right after this and it goes down and stays down. The Vet was thinking she has a bug, but suggested the rice and chicken to see her response, So we have narrowed it down to the Nutro food. This bag was purchased in the Maryland Eastern shore region, And consumers should stop this food the minute they see their Pet have a reaction to it. We all Love our pets and the Dog food industry should be more regulated as to how these foods are prepared.

I just switched to Wild Frontier Vital Prey Diet by Nutro about a month ago along with people food some of the time. I just purchased the bigger cans & have been giving my Pomeranian more of the Wild Frontier dog food... Well she started getting runny dark stools, diarrhea and acting like she doesn't feel good...so I started looking up what could be causing it and switched her off the Nutro [Wild Frontier] and any other Nutro...feeding her turkey, pumpkin, a little plain yogurt. It cleared right up and I will not risk feeding her Nutro products again!!!

Was visiting family and their doodle had periodic bouts of diarrhea which I did not believe was normal. They had been using pumpkin as a supplement to help their dog improve their stool. We switched her off of the Nutro Lamb and rice and successfully this pup improved. I did a search on Nutro and Diarrhea and was very happy to see that there is an explanation with all of the experiences that others are having. Though it takes time, it is critically important to package a bag and take to your vet for them to document to the FDA for further investigation.

In August, we switched our dog very gradually to Nutro (mostly Chicken, Rice and Sweet Potato, but we tried a bag of Salmon as well). By mid-September, we had switched over completely and our dog started having loose stools. There was a bloody fluid coming from his rear, which we figured was from his anal gland. We took him to the vet to have his gland expressed and they were alarmed by the blood, which they said was not coming from the gland, and put him on an antibiotic. We also saw some mucus in his stool. Even after the antibiotic, his stools remained very soft for a number of days, so we switched back to his old food. Within 3 days on his old food, his stools were back to normal. I'm fairly confident there was something wrong with the Nutro we were feeding him.

In 2007 there was a huge recall due to melamine on grain coming from China. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN!!! We normally have our dog food delivered, but we messed up on dates, so we picked up a bag of Nutro, as we've always used them in the past. After a few days, our pups (2 Lab mixes) were periodically throwing up bile. Always in the morning before eating, so we thought that because the % of protein/fat/etc were different, they needed more. The vomiting did not stop and they seemed a little lethargic (it has been raining, and they don't like rain, so it didn't seem out of the ordinary). After almost getting thrown up on my head because my bot couldn't get off the bed fast enough, I was looking into a possible formula change and saw all these reviews.

This food has made our dog extremely sick. Vomiting, diarrhea and extreme blood in her stool. Please do not feed your pets this until something is fixed. I thank everyone on here for sharing. This food within 2 weeks dropped our playful pet to the ground. Thankfully with help and diet change she lives another day. Nutro please fix or change your business.

We have used this product since summer 2017 with no issue. When we opened our newest bag, shipped by Chewy.com on 9/9/18, our dog wouldn’t touch it, no matter how hungry she was. I researched reviews online and found many people writing that their dogs had become critically ill in August and September, with no cause for the illness found. While there is not definitive proof that this food was the culprit, it seemed to be the only common factors among the dogs.

After reading all these horrible reviews, I now understand why my dog (Golden Retriever) has been so sick!! Has anyone gone after Nutro, and if so, what has been the response?? We just had her to the vet and received a very large bill! Nutro needs to be accountable for this!! I can’t believe how sick these poor dogs have become. It’s obviously since the bag change, I have used this food for years!! Get it off the shelves Nutro!!!

We have been feeding nothing but Nutro for 11 years. In late July of this year we started having diarrhea issues with our 6 yr old chocolate lab. He is quite the indiscriminate eater and will pick up things in the yard and chow down on them so we did not think much of it. We took him to the vet, got some meds and off we went on the journey of a week of meds. Then our 11 yr old chocolate lab came down with diarrhea. We took her in and they said tummy bug so they gave her the same meds. All along, the vets are telling us this is either bug/parasite related or dietary. I insisted all along that it should not be dietary because they have been on the same food all of their lives and it did not make sense in my own head just what could have suddenly gone wrong with the food that now and only now were we having issues with diarrhea.

I just found these comments and I am horrified. Here's my story: My Yorkie is 9 years old and has had an exclusive diet of Nutro small and toy breed dry food her entire life. Never any issues until this year. March 2018 my dog became deathly ill. Vomiting, lethargic, diarrhea, lots of blood loss in stools. Vet was baffled... thought she might have just picked up a virus. It appeared to clear up after extensive medical care ($700). It never occurred to us that it was the Nutro food. Fast forward to September 2018 my dog became ill with the same symptoms again only this time she could barely stand on her own. Emergency visit to the Vet this past weekend ($650)... Vet still can't determine what is causing it.

Our dogs have been eating this for 3 years. Our female vomited and seemed lethargic. She was ok next day. I continued feeding dogs. I noticed all month they aren't finishing their food as they normally did. They eat a few bites and walk away. I think the formula changed.

Like many other reviews, about 4 weeks ago, my dog too got immediately sick after switching to this dog food. After one day, she had diarrhea and had a LOT of blood in her stool. I finally figured out it was the food in her stool, soaked with blood. After a vet bill of over $350, I ruled out any other infection or bacteria...it just was this bad food. Please do not give this food to your precious furry babies...they can die from it!!!

My little Shitzu Bichon mix recently got so sick we took him to the emergency after hours vet...he began throwing up and throwing up (about 20 times). He was so weak he could barely walk. I was racking my brain to think of what could’ve made him so sick. So I googled any treats he’d been given. No reports of illness. I googled Nutro which I had recently transitioned him to. Tons of sick dogs recently! Within days of fully transitioning to all Nutro, my dog became so sick! I will never give my dog Nutro again. The company should do the responsible thing and do some research as to why so many animals are getting sick!

My 75 lb. pitbull with an iron stomach began vomiting profusely almost immediately after starting her on this brand. I wonder what lab I could send this to to get it tested? I bought 2 bags and threw the unopened one out. Why return it so someone else can poison their dog??? It's poison!!!

We’ve been using Nutro wet food (sensitive stomach) for both our Yorkies for years. We recently changed them over to Nutro (Senior) as they are getting older and suppose to be easier on their stomach. We’ve noticed that both dogs started vomiting yellow bile after eating the food for three days now and both started having diarrhea with blood in it. We rushed them to Vet today and they got put on Antibiotics. The Vet couldn’t tell us what was causing them to get sick. I got home and immediately went online to research complaints on Nutro dog food and noticed all the negative reviews with similar issues surrounding this food. Done with this brand, we also contacted consumer reviews 1-866-773-0221 to file a complaint. With so many similar stories something is definitely wrong with this dog food.

After hearing so much about grain free foods not being good for our dogs, I went to our local Petsmart and was recommended Nutro small bites. I slowly introduced the food over about a week long period. We were on vacation when we noticed both of our 4 pound Yorkies were having diarrhea and some vomiting but decided maybe it was just from the travel in our motorhome. One of them got so sick that we had to find a vet on our way home, he couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him... diarrhea, throwing up and like he was in pain if we tried picking him up.

Been feeding our dogs Nutro Wholesome Essentials Healthy Weight Adult Pasture Fed Lamb & Rice Recipe Dry Dog Food for years. My 11 year French Pug is deathly allergic to chicken so this WAS a safe food until now. Without notice Nutro changed this lamb and rice formula. Opened a new bag 3 weeks ago- first feeding my dog was vomiting and having diarrhea. I had purchased a new bag from Amazon like usual- only to learn our trusted stand by now has chicken meal listed as the 5th ingredient. Same label, no warning!

Never buying a Nutro product again!!! We have two dogs, a Border Collie and a Chihuahua. They started with diarrhea and our Chihuahua had blood and mucus in his. I took him to the vet and they really couldn't tell me what was wrong. He was put on an antibiotic for a week with a special canned food for digestive problems, and charged me $130.00. We also noticed they were not eating the food any longer. I Googled Nutro Wholesome Essentials - adult and found all of the reviews, and knew we found the problem. That food was slowly killing our dogs!! Nutro, we are done with you!!

I have been buying Nutro dog food for my dogs for years, but I will never buy another bag. For the last three weeks I have been struggling to figure out what has been making my dogs ill, but now I know that it is the Nutro dog food. I know this because I have taken them off the food and put them on a bland diet of chicken, rice, and broth and they improve. As soon as I reintroduce the Nutro, the yellow mucus and ultimately blood in the stools returns as well as the vomiting.

Nutro Wholesome Essentials Feed Clean Dog and Cat Dry Kibble sounded great on the label, but my dog and cat ignore it. I had tried different flavors, chicken vs. Salmon and had the same issues with cat and dog. Upon mixing it with their wet food, they got stomach issues, {mucousy stools, bleeding (my dog)} and throwing up. My cat just ignores the bowl of kibble now, it has sat there for weeks, even when I dumped it and tried more of the new flavor, (chicken to salmon). When mixed with wet food, it caused her to throw up, which she never did before. I called Nutro reading that they add garlic to the food, but they said it was a safe amount. Please read your other reviews with numerous similar complaints including their beloved pets dying. I do not wish to take that chance with my precious fur family members.

I started using Nutro Wholesome Essentials Chicken small breed adult, about A month ago, because it was GMO free. Dogs that normally eat within minutes, started leaving food within a week of feeding it, to the point of some not eating it at all. After about 2 weeks of feeding this food, I noticed vomiting and loose stools, to Bloody Diarrhea. Every dog showed the same symptoms. As soon as I took them off this food All is back to normal. There is Definitely something wrong with this food. There needs to be a Recall before some possibly die.

Our dog became overwhelmingly sick with gastroenteritis after starting a new bag 1.5 week ago. She is currently hospitalized. We have been buying Nutro for years, but not anymore. The number of similar cases in such a short amount of time is frightening.

My boyfriend and I had a 7 year old Pit that we had to lay to rest three days ago after switching to Nutro two weeks before his death. It began with loss of balance/limping five days after the switch. Then the vomiting and diarrhea started. He couldn't hold down a thing, not even the liquid food from a syringe. Then his kidney and liver failed. Over 4k in vet costs and never had an answer. This food poisoned our dog.

I started feeding my 12 year old Eskimo Spitz mix Nutro Wholesome Essentials and at first I thought she was doing wonderful on this food. 3 weeks pass and her hair is falling out in masses and she began vomiting bright yellow piles all over my house. The next day she began to have blood specks in her vomit. I did my research and saw similar complaints affecting large amounts of dogs on this food due to ingredient change. I poured the whole bag in the garbage and refuse to feed her anymore. Do yourself and your furbaby a favor. Choose another food.

My dog is 9.5 yrs. WE have been using Nutro her entire life. About a year ago, I noticed A LOT of dry yacking and coughing, all day, everyday. I thought it was maybe her age, but recently she has been vomiting her food up everyday for the past month. I switched to a better brand suggested by my pet store. Immediately, my dog has no coughing, no yacking and no VOMIT! It's been over a week. I can't believe how much of a daily happiness switching made both of us. Sleeping at night and feeling better. Even her potty responses have changed SIGNIFICANTLY! I'm so shocked how a dog food was basically slowly destroying and killing my dog. I CAN'T THANK THE PET STORE ENOUGH FOR SAVING US AND IMPROVING DAILY LIFE. I'm so happy my dog can now eat in peace!!!

My dog Pepper is a healthy 7-year old Chihuahua Jack-Russell mix, and I've been feeding her Nutro Wholesome Essentials (chicken, small-breed) for a couple years now due to the raving reviews. I noticed this year she has started throwing up somewhat often, but I didn't think it was her food since she'd been doing well on it for a long while.

BEYOND ANNOYED! My name is Stephanie and I used to work for your company years ago as a food demo'er. I am now a LVT (licensed vet tech) and have seen what you have done to people's pets first hand. I was your #1 supporter and would try to convert any and every pet owner I knew to switch to your food. I was recently advised that your ingredients had changed in all of your diets and now chicken is your #1 ingredient in all of the food. WHY ON EARTH would you do this and not tell your customers that you made that change? People bought lamb and rice because it was lamb and rice and lamb (lamb meal) was the first ingredient. This was the food that you based all of your posters and literature off of and your #1 seller, I know I use to work in the pet stores as well. Now chicken and chicken fat come before the actual meat you have listed as the foods 'flavor".

If it were not for this website and the reports that I found here, I would never have known what it was that was making my dog so sick for the past 6 months that I was pretty sure I was losing him. He was so sick that I called the in-home euthanasia vet, asking them to be on standby for me. I have been feeding my dog Nutro Lamb and Rice dry food for the past 12 years. I learned the hard way that he was VERY allergic to any kind of chicken product or anything with ANY kind of fowl, and I have been very careful to make sure that there was NEVER any chicken or other fowl ingredient in ANY food or treat that he ate. Now I have learned that Nutro decided to add CHICKEN to the "Lamb and Rice" formulation - WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY NOTICE TO THE CONSUMER ABOUT THE CHANGE. This is unconscionable. My dog was so sick... not eating... lethargic... and his whole body was covered with sores and his skin was literally falling off his body.

Our Yorkie has been sick for several days with vomiting and diarrhea. As I was searching for reasons why I came across the Nutro complaints of this dog food. In May, 2018, our little Shih Tzu passed away and we had no idea why, she was going on 13 years old. As I read the complaints on this website, I see others have experienced the same or similar events. She started coughing with a sound like trying to clear her throat. Within 2 days of the onset of that, she died. Nothing can ever replace our sweet little dog, she was so precious and special to our whole family.

I have Upc and exp dates, the puppy Nutro Max is killing my baby and making other one sick. My third dog is on a special diet and has no issues and he is 14. My pit currently has liver and kidney failure suddenly and had a clean bill of health one month ago. My other dog is normally hyper, has been vomiting and diarrhea. I pulled her off food and she got better. My pit has damage that is irreversible and he is dying. Please do not buy this product. From now on I will just make my own pet food, so upset at the money I spent to save my baby and it isn't doing any good because of bad food. PLEASE AVOID THIS FOOD!!!

I started my Lab mix on Nutro Grain Large Breed Grain Free dog food (Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Lentils recipe) 2 years ago. I fell in love with the product, and her digestion issues resolved. Something has definitely changed in the past 2 months. She stopped wanting to eat, became lethargic so much so that she didn't want to go on walks, and started experiencing foamy vomiting and diarrhea with blood in her stools. I noticed the air tight sealed bin that I store it in had bugs in it suddenly. PetSmart refunded me the food and said it was most likely a bad batch. I purchased the product again with full assumption that that was the case. Things seemed to get better for a week, but sure enough we were right back where we were by week 2.

We switched our 8 month old Australian Shepherd puppy to Nutro dog food about a month ago. After about a week he started having really bad diarrhea. We woke up one morning to several accidents all around the house, and he had NEVER pooped in the house until then. He also began vomiting frequently. We took him to the vet and they gave us probiotics to put on his food and a prescription.

We have been feeding our 2 Scotties Nutro Lamb and rice formula since they were puppies. Something has happened to their formula. At first we thought it was because we changed to the "chicken" flavor but as it turns out that is not the case. Our dogs now suffer from diarrhea, throws up mucus, had blood in his stool. We just don't understand what has happened to their product. I am taking this dog food back to get a refund. BUT most importantly DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I will be calling the company regarding this matter.

Wholesome Essentials, Large Breed Adult: We've been giving our dogs Nutro for 6 years. Never have our 2 German shepherds been so ill like they have for the last month! I would take them off the dog food and let them fast for 24 hours with plenty of water. Then I give them boiled chicken, yams and rice. They would immediately do better with attitude, playful and solid stools. With the Nutro, diarrhea with blood and heavy mucus. I just bought 4 40lb. bags. They are going back to the store for a full refund. To include the bag that I just opened! What's up? Have they changed the formula, added some chemicals, this is NOT funny! Fortunately, my husband had the sense to check the web for any recalls or bad reports on this product. I am so disappointed to find so many recent bad reviews! Now I know why they are so sick, lethargic, and have severe diarrhea.

We have had our border collie on Nutro dog food since she was a puppy. Our dog is almost 9 years old and the last bag we bought she had diarrhea so bad that I had to throw out an expensive rug. We had her on the lamb and rice senior dog food. I stopped feeding her the Nutro immediately and cooked rice for her and gave her ** and started her gradually on new food and she is better. Apparently the formula has changed and it certainly is not for the better so be careful with this dog food. It's most unfortunate.

I fed Nutro Dog Food for years before the MARS corporation purchased it. I have since had problems on and off for years with my dog and never linked it to Nutro until recently. My dog was vomiting frothy mucus with blood after eating Nutro, was lethargic, and not himself. I put him on rice then rice and boiled chicken and all the symptoms went away until I started feeding the Nutro Dog Food again. After a few days of feeding the food he started vomiting frothy mucus with blood again. When I stop feeding Nutro and feed the rice the symptoms and all vomiting go away. I had no idea all these years the food I have trusted was making my dog sick. I have included an image of a sample of the bloody vomit that I have collected for the vet each time.

I was so glad to find a food that my dog could eat! She’s allergic to a lot of foods and she needs to be on a lower protein food because she has Struvite Crystals. I was so glad to find a lamb grain free limited ingredient food with only 20% protein for her. She does really well on this food!

My dog was switched to Nutro for small dogs earlier this year around mid December. He became increasingly ill in January though I did not identify it as the dog food right away. He seemed to lose his balance, urinated bright yellow in the house and his feces were increasingly bright yellow. When he began vomiting I took him to the vet who said it was bladder stones which were removed but he totally collapsed and refused Nutro food and became jaundiced. 5 days in ICU on other food and he recovered but with damaged liver and incontinence. Chihuahua got some of his food one week a while back and also immediately had the bright yellow feces. I took her off the food and became suspicious that the food poisoned my dog.

Just picked up a bag of Nutro small breed dry dog food (chicken) two days ago for my 7-year-old mutt. This dog can eat just about anything. Reason for the switch in food was a "free coupon" for a 5-lb bag of Nutro. Normally switching her over to new food is done carefully, blending her regular food slowly with the new. I did that two days back, then yesterday, and this morning. Came home to a major mess of 6 big puke splotches. I saw carrots in her puke, which I recall she ate on the 8th of May (today is the 10th). It was on the 8th in the evening when I started her on the Nutro. Could it be her body rejected something in the Nutro and wouldn't let it go down into her intestines? I don't care if I got a free bag of dog food, it isn't worth the life or health of my dog. Now she's sitting on the couch all balled up, it's as if her stomach hurts (?). Vet time.

We've had our 2 Cockapoos on Nutro since they were puppies, and they like it, they're staying healthy. There's too much dog food hype right now but I see no reason to experiment.

I bought Nutro Senior Chicken Dog Food Small Bites for my 12 year old Yorkshire Terrier. After feeding it 3 weeks she starting vomiting clear snotty looking gross stuff one day and was very restless. She eventually picked at her food and wouldn't finish it which she never does. This went on for a three days and I had given her stuff for her stomach but she was still acting very weird. I was ready to take her to the vet when I remembered I had just started feeding her this new dog food. I got online and saw many negative reviews about the Nutro Senior Lamb Dog Food and stopped feeding it to her immediately. I went back to my old brand and after one meal her eyes started to clear up and her smile came back. She is normally a very healthy old gal who loves to take walks and play with her squeaky toys. After one day she seemed like she felt so much better. She was showing signs of liver failure from this dog food but seems to be back to normal now.

Nutro Ultra has great ingredients, no by-product meal, corn, wheat or soy. Non-GMO, whole grains and 3 different proteins. My dog is 11 years old and 14 pounds, she likes the toy breed size. Little, easier for her to chew.

Both of my lab mix dogs have been on Nutro for years. In April 2018 I noticed a change. They were itchy and were having upset stomach issues including diarrhea and vomiting. I could not figure out what was going on until I reviewed the Consumer Affairs website. I decided to contact Nutro directly and let them know what was going on, they immediately responded. Please contact them if you have any issues so they can resolve the bad batch or ingredient that may be causing all the issues for our pups.

I'm not usually one to write a review, but my dog recently passed from liver failure and while I was doing a little research to see what could've caused it I came across all of these reviews for the Nutro lamb and rice senior dog food and it sounded all too familiar. My dog has always been on Nutro since he was about one. I thought he had a sensitive stomach, but now I'm not so sure if it was him or the food, so I would have to switch his food every so often but always stayed with the Nutro brand because it came highly recommended from his obedience trainer.

I have Bought and fed Nutro to my dogs for almost 20 years. I had a Beagle mix by the name of Spencer that was switched to the Nutro for seniors back in 1999 - 2006. Spencer was 11 years old. I had him on Costco food and was told to get him off of it and feed Nutro. Within 1 week there was a dramatic difference. Spencer went from a lethargic old dog to a puppy. Lots of energy, his coat shined and no skin problems. I live in an area where my vet said she was surprised my senior dog had no skin issues. Spencer lived to be 17 years old. The vet was amazed at how long he lived and how healthy he was. I truly believe he lived longer because of Nutro food. So I decided I was not going to feed my dogs anything else.

We’ve been feeding our 11yo dog this food his entire life. Around March he’d become insanely gassy. Then we noted a decrease in appetite. Then it became severe. He barely ate and vomited what he did eat. He ate grass outside and vomited that. Alarmed I had fed him & made him a smoothie of ingredients for his stomach. When he kept the smoothie down I added his kibble to it. He puked everything. My cat got into the food and puked the whole kibbles. I’d thought he was dying of old age and this was the process. I’d checked for food recalls and saw nothing. After seeing a huge list on a Facebook post I decided to call Nutro. I gave them info off the bag. Turns out they’d swapped ingredients this year. From Chicken Fat to Chicken meat.

Nutro Peanut Butter Treats with Rosemary extract - Shortly after giving two pieces of these treats my Labrador had two big grand mal seizures. I believe it was the treats because it didn’t have a seizure after I stopped giving them to her. When I looked at the ingredients it says they use rosemary extract. Rosemary is a neurotoxin. ASPCA poison control for dogs says it is non-poisonous. I would argue that. Found a website that feels the same way. I don’t recommend these treats. **. I have contacted the company to discuss my concerns with this product. They took down my information and they are sending me a refund. I am throwing the treats away.

Our 5 year old strong and healthy pitty/lab mix has been on Nutro chicken for years and years. We decided to switch to the lamb upon the advice of our vet as our Bear seems to have some allergies and the common issue is often chicken. He had no issues with the food for about two weeks and then BAM, bad diarrhea for two days. Vet ran the usual tests, there were no other symptoms, bland food diet for a week. We were just getting ready to transition back to the Nutro when my husband randomly heard a group of pet owners talking, at a gas station of all places, about the issues their pets were experiencing with Nutro, specifically the lamb version. We did a bit more research and found this and that's all we needed to know, we threw it out - switched to another brand recommended by the pet nutrition center where we live. Fingers crossed. I do plan to contact Nutro.

My 12-year-old and 8-year-old Goldens had been on Nutro lamb and rice many years and it was well tolerated. Switched to senior formula and the 12-year-old began having soft stools Dec/Jan. Wasn't sure if she had gotten extra treats over the holiday season so didn't change the Nutro until she had some blood in her stool. Switched to another brand and the loose stools stopped the next day. Other people at the dog park told me their dogs (not on Nutro) had some loose stools over the winter so I thought I would try the Nutro again. I first added 1/4 of Nutro and 3/4 of the new food, she did ok. Upped it to 1/2 and 1/2 and she did ok. Gave it a try of all Nutro and she had severe diarrhea w/in 12 hours which continued for 5 days despite feeding her only homemade chicken and rice soup. Took her to the vet who checked extensive blood work, fecal tests. No problems.

We purchased Nutro Max Lamb & Rice a couple of months ago for our lab. He loved the first bag. At the first feeding of the second bag, he acted weird while eating it - he ate really slow and his mouth was foaming (he normally gobbles food up right away). That night, he threw up. He has occasionally thrown up, so we didn't think much of it, but he continued to eat slowly. Two days later, he had a really bad case of diarrhea (he's never had that before). Since the food was the only thing new, we discontinued feeding it to him. I gave him 100% pumpkin and cooked rice for a few days until he was back to normal.

After reading the recent reviews on Nutro Lamb I have decided that I should report my issue too. My precious little Schnauzer experienced the same kind of issues with diarrhea and vomiting after opening a new bag of Nutro Lamb Senior Dog Food Wholesome Ingredients. He got sick on Feb 25 and succumbed to this on March 10 at the local veterinary hospital. I was told he had pancreatitis but I am almost sure it was the dog food. Don't buy Nutro! The formula is bad!!!

Purchased these - Nutro Peanut Butter Dog Treats for my 9 lb Shih Tzu. Gave her 1. About 9 hours later she threw up this nasty yellow liquid with a hard undigested piece of something. Thought little about it. It happened again the next day. Then a third time. That is when I got worried. Looked at vomit best I could. The hard undigested piece appears to be the same size and shape as the dog treat. Stopped giving treats and problem went away. Taking treats back to pet store and letting them know. Also contacted company and waiting on a response. Please be cautious of this product.

I have been feeding Nutro lamb and rice and chicken formula to my Weimaraner for years. He's a healthy, active 11 year old now and I recently switched to the senior formula. I noticed with the last bag that he would throw up immediately after eating Nutro. Could not keep it down after eating at all. Took him to the vet and everything checked out fine. Blood work fine. No pancreatitis. Everything good. Put him on boiled chicken and rice and everything was fine immediately. Tried Nutro again and immediately had same results. Immediately threw up. Switched to a different brand and everything is fine. There is something wrong with this batch or new formula of Nutro and it needs to be pulled from the shelves before more dogs are sickened or killed. I've read numerous reports of dogs having similar issues and some even dying. All recent reports from the last few months. Nutro was great, but, the current batch is bad and should be recalled.

My poor senior golden started having issues at the beginning of 2018. He had an ear infection, followed a few weeks later by a stubborn eye infection. Then he began to have terrible diarrhea, and copious amounts of stool. I was worried his age was catching up to him as he was lethargic and ill. Around February I noticed our puppies stool was runny and bloody. I took fecal samples of both to the Vet, where they analyzed them for parasites since they both had symptoms. Came back negative so I started searching for reasons.

Was very shocked when I stumbled upon other complaints for Nutro lamb & rice formula making many pets ill. We have a Great Pyrenees which has eaten the formula for many years. Upon beginning a new bag in March 2018, he became very ill, throwing up and diarrhea. Took him to the vet, round of antibiotics and meds to keep him from throwing up as well as a special can food to feed for 5 days before gradually reintroducing him back to his Nutro. Going well until we, began decreasing special can food and everything started over again. After reading others reviews here, I have called vet and PetSmart. Nutro should bear responsibility for not informing consumers. These are sick pet family members and owners have costly vet bills. Not once did it cross my mind while trying to look at an ingredient label online that I would stumble on to this website. So very glad I did!

My dog has been eating Nutro since July 2018 when he was 8 weeks old. Always perfect. He is now almost ten months old. Just bought a new bag two weeks ago. Woke me up crying to go out, multiple bouts of diarrhea, throwing up. Fed chicken and rice for two days (immediately after first meal of chicken and rice no more symptoms). Reintroduced Nutro (grain free lamb and sweet potato) at 5pm dinner. Noticed a bit of white foam around his mouth. By early morning he is crying to be let out---throwing up (yellow) and diarrhea again. Something is WRONG with this food! Or this batch or something. We deserve money back.

I got this Nutro small breed. After 3 days my dog was shaking and mooning. I am 99.99% sure this is caused by the dog food. I will have to make appointment with the vet first thing on Monday to confirm this... After reading the reviews all are the same experience I am having... So why is it still on the shelves for other dog to become ill? I will update on how my dog is doing after the vet visit.

This week, I added some Nutro “Petite Eats” to my dog’s food. I did this for two days. I noticed her stool got softer after the first day. After the second day she had diarrhea and vomiting yellow bile. I caught her chomping on a houseplant and that evening she was very lethargic and wouldn’t eat. I thought maybe it was because of the houseplant and took her to the vet the next morning. I had a diaper on her to get to the vet and when I took it off it was full of blood. There is some intestinal issue going on that has nothing to do with the plant and she still has blood in her stool, she will not eat and is very lethargic and dehydrated. Last night she was still having bloody stool.

A few months after switching to Nutro Senior our dog starting to have diarrhea with bright red blood in it. We didn't make the link to the food and it went away after a day so we assumed he had a bacteria or virus that passed. A month later it started happening regularly - bright red blood explodes from his butt and he can barely control his bowls. All the tests have come back negative so far, so the vet thinks it's a food-related issue that has now destroyed his insides. Next step is exploratory surgery. Homemade food with antibiotics and probiotics for months has helped, but his stomach is still very sensitive. Would be an awfully large coincidence, seeing as he was on his previous food for years and nothing else significantly changed since then.

My dog has been on Nutro lamb and rice small bites for approximately a year. She recently started having watery, loose stools. Took her to the vet who tested her stool which came back negative. He then put her on medicine to help bind her. Helped a little but still not normal stools. She is now on a probiotic but is still having very soft stools. After reading the reviews on this particular brand it scares me to see how similar her symptoms are with other dogs. There obviously is something wrong with this food and should be removed from the market. I am throwing the rest of my food out and switching her to another brand of food. People beware.

I started my dogs on Nutro dog food. The first week questionable as I found some vomit and didn’t connect it to the food until a week later. Second week all four dogs were vomiting. I took the food out of their diet. Gave them pure chicken and brown rice (something I give on occasion). Has no vomiting on chicken and rice however 2 dogs still seemed to have a “sour” stomach. I reintroduced the Nutro and that same day/night all 4 dogs had lots of vomiting. I immediately took them off the food and back to chicken and rice and they are doing fine. I just returned all the Nutro food to my grocery store and filed a complaint with the manager.

Our 14 year old Golden Retriever has been eating Nutro Senior Lamb and Rice Formula and has done great. When they changed the formula and added chicken meal recently, we bought the chicken and sweet potato formula, thinking we didn't like the sound of the new Lamb and Rice Formula. After a couple of weeks on the new food, she started vomiting. Several times each time she ate, until she was vomiting bile and foam. We at first feared this was something serious that would be lead to the rainbow bridge. After 2 days of vomiting, and keeping nothing down, losing energy and acting generally pained to move about, I decided to check to see if there was a recall on the Nutro. I didn't find any recall, but found all of these other reports of similar illness. We tried to change her food, but she wasn't interested in eating much of anything we offered. (Special food for digestive support, goats milk etc.)

My dog's eat about half the food now that I switched them to Nutro because it is not loaded with fillers that make them hungry an hour later. I highly recommend this food to all my friends. Number one ingredient is chicken instead of corn or wheat and I like that there are lots of veggies in there too.

Nutro Lamb and Rice Small Bites Dog Food - My 12 yr old Border Collie Lab mix has been on this food for the last 10 years as it used to be great for his sensitive stomach. However, since fall/early winter 2017, he has had recurrent watery to very loose stools, needing to go out more in middle of night and many accidents in the house during the day while we were away. We tried the plain pumpkin for few days and probiotic treatments as before when had mild issues but this was not helping as when went back to regular food the diarrhea recurred. During this time my 8yr old Husky Lab mix was doing good but some softer stools noticed than before, she has always been able to eat things the other could not. I was ready to bring BC Lab back to vet when thought about first trying to change food.

I had been feeding my aging Pug/Chihuahua mix Nutro (Small Breed Chicken Brown Rice and Sweet Potato) for about 2 years. She seemed to like it fine. In February 2018, I ordered a bag for the first time from Chewy.com and noticed the packaging was different than what I had been getting at the store. When I fed my dog I also noticed that the kibble was more green in color. My dog ate the food but with less enthusiasm than she usually would. Often, she left food in her bowl for hours which she has never done. It seemed like she didn't like it. Over the next week or so I noticed that she smelled bad and she just seemed like she did not feel very good.

My mom gave us a bag of Nutro Dog Food when her older dog passed away. We started feeding it to our healthy 6-year old Lab and immediately noticed he would wake us in the middle of the night needing to go out. He usually always slept through the night. He would then either vomit outside or have diarrhea. We thought at first maybe it was something he had gotten into on a walk, but realized it only started when we switched up his food. We have since switched his food back to what he regularly ate and he seems to be doing much better. I will not be giving any of our pets Nutro food ever again - and I'm actually wondering now after reading reviews if it was harming my mom's dog all these years. Ugh! I think that pet food should be at least as regulated as human food - these are members of our family that the company is harming in the name of making money.

My 3.5 year old rescued lab mix has suffered with recurrent kidney issues due to severe Lyme disease. He also has allergies to fish and other things. It's been difficult to find a dog food that he can tolerate well, that's of high quality, that doesn't contain fish! I found Nutro Max Large Breed and decided to give it a try; it has selenium yeast which is supposed to be better for his kidneys which was a huge bonus for us! After a very slow transition, I'm happy to say he is almost finished with his first bag (1c am, 1c pm) and he's doing FANTASTIC! His energy is better than ever, yet his focus is great! His coat is gorgeous and soft...

This would have been a 5 star rating until Nutro messed up the formulas. My dogs had both been on Nutro all their lives and had done well. My 4 yr old Rottweiler was on large breed adult and 11 yr old Chihuahua was on small breed senior. Suddenly these formulas weren't available. My little Chihuahua died of gall bladder complications a few months into eating this new same-for-all-ages formula. I keep changing foods for my Rottweiler. He doesn't like the Essentials or the Ultra. WHY did you mess up the perfect food?

My Pekingese loves this food and gets really excited when its time to eat. It seems that every branded dog food seems to get comments about how they have killed their dog on here, but, I can tell you that this food comes highly recommended by my dog! Think you have to take reviews about how a dog food has killed someone's dog with a touch of skepticism, ANY dog food that highly poisonous wouldn't be on the market period!

Purchased a 3 pack of Greenies pet chews from PetPeople Pet store on 1/27 in Concord, NC. I purchased them for her breath and teeth. By 1/31 she was acting very ill. She was an indoor dog and there had been no change to her diet other than adding the Greenies once a day. She was ill for 3 days very lethargic, diarrhea, and refusing to eat. Took her to the vet on the Friday 2/2 thinking she only had a stomach bug. By Saturday 2/3 she was dead. She was a healthy 7-year-old dog who was very vibrant and full of life. My family is devastated by this loss especially my child. How can you as a company continue to produce and market something supposedly for health purposes that could potentially cause the death of the pet? It's inhuman, and inhumane and you should be ashamed of what you're doing not only to these beloved pets but the families who are left to mourn their loss due to your terrible product!

I have a teacup chihuahua and a miniature poodle who are very picky eaters. It has taken me months of buying different kinds of dog foods to finally have found the dog food that these two picking little boys would eat. They absolutely love the lamb and sweet potato recipe and I most certainly would recommend this to my family and my friends. My boys just cannot wait for breakfast time and dinner time to come, they dance around so excited because they know they're going to be getting their favorite food.

After reading other reviews I am convinced that there is a problem with this dog food (Nutro Lamb and Rice dog food). My 5 year old golden retriever has been on this food for 6 months after a recommendation from the pet food store. All was fine until the last bag I bought. The night after I fed my dog food from that bag he became very ill. He cried in pain and would not move. This dog is usually high energy. We took him to the vet and they did X-rays and a pancreatitis test. All negative. After I started feeding him boiled chicken and rice he started to perk up. The vet also did a full blood panel and all was fine.

Yesterday, I went to the pet store to pick up my monthly bag of the Nutro Wholesome Essentials Lamb & Rice. The clerk asked if I was aware the formula had changed as Nutro had been having problems sourcing the lamb so there was much more chicken by-products added to this formula. Aha! One of my dogs is allergic to high amounts of chicken and he had been scratching like crazy the last couple of months. We had even put him on ** daily which wasn't helping a whole lot.

My 9 year old Boxer has been on Nutro Dog Food since she was a puppy, moving from puppy to senior type. Last November 2017 we purchased the Lamb and Rice Senior, as usual, and noticed that she was not wanting to eat, and had stomach problems. While she has had episodes of diarrhea before this time she was having severe issues. At Thanksgiving she stopped eating and starting huffing, gagging. Took her to the vet and found her lymph nodes in her throat were swollen. She was treated and seemed better until the medicine ran out. Over Christmas she became severely ill, we thought we were going to lose her! Again, she refused to eat the Nutro food. Took her to the vet and they did a complete body x-ray and found all of her lymph nodes were swollen. She had Lymphadenopathy.

Fed this Nutro Natural Lamb & Rice Dry food for 12 years! Suddenly, last December one of my dogs started vomiting immediately after eating and excessive thirst. No temperature, vet not finding anything wrong. He passed 12/26/17. One week later another of my dogs started vomiting and excessive thirst. Realizing the only thing new in that time frame was a bag of dry food, I picked up a different brand and switched the last two dogs to that immediately. The sick one pulled out of whatever caused the vomiting right away. Nutro contacted and all they will do is refund my money for the food. No recall. Sample of the food dropped off at my vet for forwarding to the FDA. Yeah - not happy.

Nutro lamb and rice - I have used this brand for both my dogs for at least 4 yrs and it has always been great until November 2017 when both dogs have become very ill at the same time. Both dogs have diarrhea and vomiting since then and as I'm reading other reviews on here it seems others are having the same experience with this brand which began occurring at the same time. After thousands of dollars spent at the vet we still have no idea what's causing them to be sick. I have stop using this on both of my dogs.

We have fed my dog exclusively Nutro brand dog food for 5 years since he was a puppy. In September 2017 our dog started vomiting multiple times a day. We immediately took our dog to the vet where they did x rays and couldn't identify the issue. Next, the vet took a stool sample and were still unable to identify the cause. After reading reviews on here we decided we are going to switch his dog food and see what happens. We have spent a lot of money and time trying to figure out the cause of our baby's sickness. We wanted to share our story to raise awareness that Nutro dog food could be the cause like many others have experienced.

I do not write reviews normally, but after what I read about all of the bad experiences here, I feel people need to know my story. We have a very healthy 14 yr old Lab. We have been using Nutro for many years, senior with Lamb. My lab has been very ill since we opened our last bag in November. He started vomiting about 4-6 hours after eating and vomiting would happen multiple times until it became bile. The food has always caused diarrhea, but it has been severe since November.

We have two Brussels griffons that have been on Nutro from puppies. They are 3 & 4 years old. They have done fine until several months ago they started eating a lot of grass, vomiting with digestive distress. Both dogs ended up with anal gland impactions. 1 required surgery. Cause was noted as a good allergy. Within the same two months my sister in law whose dog is on the same food also had to have the anal gland surgery. 3 dogs from late Oct to December on the same food with the same issue. I have changed their food and they are doing well. I’m concerned something has gone wrong with this brand. We spent thousands at the vet for surgeries, medication and treatment.

I have a two year old Siberian husky and within my family an almost 4 year old Alaskan malamute. I started feeding my dog Nutro natural and sometime after I noticed clay color looking stool. Not too long after that, my dog started having seizures, one every month. After a month, she then got pancreatitis. Once she was switched off the food, her health immediately improved and it’s been 7 months without a seizure. My dad was feeding his dog the same food at the time and just witnessed his dog having a seizure. At first, I didn’t think the direct correlation was the food and just thought my dog was finicky and needed to be on a vet prescribed diet. But this solidified it - this food was causing both of the dogs to have seizures.

I have a 4 month put golden retriever that was on this food when he came home to us at 8 weeks. Over the last 4 weeks I have spend hundreds of dollar, time off from work not to mention the physical and emotional exhaustion I’ve through from this horrible food! 4 weeks ago my puppy started suddenly have severe yellow liquid forcefully diarrhea and vomiting constantly, we have had multiple vet visit, X-rays, antibiotics, stool testing, rice diet and lab work sent to the GI Lab on the other side of the country and no answer. I finally decided to switch foods and things started to improve within a day! Then a friend reached out to me telling me about all these people having the same issues, how on earth is this food still available for sale! My poor pup and Family have been through the ringer over this and put us in debt over this! Nutro Max should be paying my vet bills and all the time off I’ve had to take over the crappy food!!!

I have a Pomeranian, with skin issues, she has been on Nutro Grain Free for two years, but, In November she ate the food and had extremely bloody stools and vomiting. I took her off the food, and started feeding her rice and chicken I made at home, she was doing well, so I thought I would start feeding her the Nutro again. She eats the canned and dry food version of this food. And today, the bloody stools and her vomiting started again, what is sad, is I still have half a case of the canned, a full new bag of the dry. I will continue to make her food with rice and chicken, and will decide what to do with the rest of the food. I think I will try and get my money back, Nutro should offer it back after this review, but, we will see.

I feel both my Labrador retrievers Nutro Wholesome Essentials Large Breed Adult Pasture Fed Lamb & Rice Recipe and they have been on it for at least 9 months, and have been loving it. I switched from Ideal Balance chicken brown rice formula (no corn, wheat, or soy) food because their poops weren't hard enough. On Nutro, their poops have great consistency and have been much more firm. I attributed this to the increased amount of protein. However, I'm concerned reading other dogs reactions to Nutro products... what type of Nutro were you all specifically feeding them? My dogs eat the non-GMO, lamb kind, and I don't believe it has corn or wheat. I also feed them Nutro sensitive stomach treats and those are some of the only treats that have not messed up their stool consistency. Two downsides are: I have to feel slightly more food than with the previous type of food. It has also caused their breath to be pretty bad!

Just had my dog at the vet with diarrhea, vomiting and dehydrated. Sub-q fluids, anti nausea & blood tests. This food made him really sick! And I have read of other dogs getting sick in November & December 2017 from this same batch of food! Bad food. Nutro made two of my cats sick also! I want my money back & the vet bills paid!!!

Quite simply, what I don't like about Nutro is this statement "Made With World Class Ingredients"! I didn't notice this until it arrived after buying online. What exactly does that mean? Answer: It could mean what you want it to. Is it made with ingredients from others countries? Nowhere could I find "Made in USA" which I believe a consumer like myself wants especially after paying a stiff premium for the dog food. I don't have time to call Mars up who is the manufacturer who also makes Pedigree and IAM's which is a brand they purchased from Procter & Gamble a few years back. But maybe the Mars company can explain what "Made With World Class Ingredients" actually means. For the price, I would hope the ingredients they use are indeed "world class"! But Mars, where are the Ingredients from?

Nutritious tasty canned food. My dog is a finicky eater and she likes this. She is eaten this brand, off and on, for about two years. She is now a senior so she eats the Senior Pate, Antioxidant Boost, made with Chicken, and Antioxidant Protein Boost made with Turkey.

I go through two 30 lb bags a month of Nutro Healthy Weight, Lamb and Rice formulation. My four dogs love this food. It's expensive but they are worth it.

Small sized, grain free nuggets of kibble having a higher nutrition value. I use the Adult Large size and Senior for my 2 dogs 3 yrs & 8 yrs. I use less kibble, 1 1/2 cups twice a day for each of mine which results in smaller sized poops to have to clean up. Nutro has all the stuff you want in their food and none of the stuff you don't want. Cost more than low end dog foods but in the long run because you feed a smaller portion size it probably ends up costing around the same.

I was feeding my 2 older dogs Pedigree, Daisy is 9 a boxer pit mix and Bruno is 6 a full bully breed. Daisy get skinny as she is older and Bruno is a bit overweight so I switched them to Nutro after reading its ingredients. Grain free got me though. Within the 1st month there was a shift in weight for both. It seems Daisy bulked up and Bruno slimmed up. I'm very happy with the results and they have more energy.

We use Nutro in our kennel. Our last shipment we noticed the large breed food is twice the size as before and the puppies are vomiting on it. We called Nutro. They insisted there was no change and per the bag I do not see one. But something has changed. The one star is their customer service is awful and they didn't care our dogs were getting sick on their food.

Good for his teeth - he loves the crunch - easy to break into small pieces so we can easily treat him throughout the day without worrying about weight gain and all of the ingredients are good for him.

I have two dogs, 14 and 15 years of age. The 14 year old has severe allergies and this one, lamb and rice seems to sit in his tummy well. They have been on this most of their lives.

I usually "blend" their food, Blue, Nutro, and Nutro farms. I like to make sure, they get chicken, fish, and either red meat or turkey. I buy three brands all different varieties and mix them all together...

This is THE WORST food I have ever in my life given my 65 lb. pit. She has never had an issue once with any food brand except this. She's been ** yellow all over my house for the last 2 days and she only ate the food one time!!! HOW IS THIS STILL ON THE MARKET??? These reviews have to be paid and fake because ** THIS COMPANY. How in the world does this product have 4.5 stars when there are so many negative reviews? 'CAUSE THEY'RE FAKE! My poor dog is in so much pain that I keep having to calm her down so ** YOU NUTRO!

Our experience with Nutro has been positive since we began feeding it to our dog a few years ago. She is a senior and has eaten other premium brands in the past, but Nutro has kept her taste buds happier than the others for an extended period of time - even with formulation changes for the senior kibble. (The latest change has been addition of sweet potatoes to the chicken & brown rice). A 30 pound bag lasts for about 2 months feeding our 60 pound dog one heaping cup twice a day.

My three senior dogs eat Nutro Ultra Senior and do very well. They had issues with Blue, vomiting, loose stools and pancreatitis but they have no problems with Nutro. Nutro has a low fat content which is good for senior dogs who are slowing down.

I like this Adult small breed food because of the limited ingredients and the quality of the food. It is an appropriate size for my 7 pound dog to eat easily!!!

My 4 month old German Shepherd/Husky mix puppy has been at the vet for 2 days now after I discovered bloody stool. At first, I thought maybe he ate something he shouldn't have or had something worse so I took him into the Vet the next morning and they were concerned as well as he is an indoor puppy and is up to date on his shots. They still ran a parvo test which came back negative, did multiple x-rays to determine if he ate something he shouldn't have, and finally did a barium series on him to see if they could get a better look and finally determined he had Gastritis.

Fed Nutro a few yrs ago. Dog had seizures. Went online to see other dogs had seizures as well. Disgusted with dog food industry. Cooked real food for dog - dog's body assimilated more of the food (75%) over Nutro. With Nutro what went in also came out with nothing used in between. Pissed at df industry.

After several different brands, I tried Nutro Wholesome Essentials for my small dogs (One is a Japanese Spaniel and the other an American Cocker Spaniel). Both love it. No itching, diarrhea or vomiting. They readily eat it up in AM and PM.

I feed my 8 year old dog NUTRO ULTRA Small Breed adult and he absolutely loves it. The ingredients seem very high quality and his coat is super shiny. The vet commented that he is healthier than he is ever been.

My two small dogs like this dry dog food and eat it regularly. It gives them firm stools that are easy to pick up. Since eating this brand they have fewer to nil stomach upsets. They eat the small bites chicken, brown rice and sweet potato recipe.

I have two dogs and the older dog is on Nutro Weight Management and she loves it. The younger dog is on Nutro Regular and I am very happy with how he is handling the food, because he is such a picky eater. I use to feed them a different brand but the dogs were having side effects, with the switch everything is working well.

I fed this to 2 different dogs, first one was ok. I discontinued it with the 2nd dog due to sensitivity to ingredients, and aging dog needs. I was uncomfortable with the misc non nutritive ingredients.

My 14 1/2 year old lab that suffers with anal cancer loves the grain free chicken and he has no problems digesting it, his stools are consistently well formed and I feel it gives him the adequate nutrition he needs.

I needed a sensitive stomach food for my Brussels Griffon. I had tried all the organic/natural diets and my guy still had issues. I remembered Nutro advertising a sensitive stomach food and I gave it a try and have been very pleased.

I have raise 5 dogs on this brand. They have been very healthy and lived long lives for big dogs averaging 14 -15 years each. They had beautiful coats and clear eyes. The food is easily digested without corn, wheat and other byproducts. All my dogs have loved the Nutro Lamb with Rice.

Not many pet food suppliers carry the brand. So difficult to find. Used it because meat was a primary ingredient not meal. Good value because of the ingredients.

Multiple times my 80 lb mutt (possibly, boxer, pit bull, mastiff, not sure, several different breeds) has gotten sick after eating Nutro, and even after not eating that much of it. At first I wasn't sure what was giving him terrible yellow diarrhea and extreme lethargy. After enough observation, I realized every time he had any of that food when nothing else has changed for him, he would quickly get sick. The yellow diarrhea wasn't pleasant but most noticeable was his lethargy, and this is a typically a very high energy dog. He would sleep for days at a time and barely move. He is 2.5 years old and otherwise incredibly healthy. I am 100% sure it is the Nutro causing this because everything else was kept constant in his life. Without the Nutro he does fantastic.

My dogs have always eaten Nutro brand - for 17 years now. It is nutritious and they love it. Always available and at a fair price. No need to switch.

I have tried other brands of dog food that our dog did not seem to like. Our dog really likes the Nutro source brand. He does like to get treats also and we do get him moist food with gravy as a treat.

Nutro has reps at PetSmart on the weekends that can tell you all about their food and its benefits. We had a dog that was diabetic and they helped us a lot!

This product is hard to find, but mail delivery brings it right to me. No allergies reactions, filled with good items not fillers, dog's coat looks better and happier dog.

Nutro Max Chicken and Rice: My bullmastiff dies from kidney failure in 2015. And the only brand of dog food I ever fed her was Nutro Max because I thought that was the best brand. I always questioned how and why my dog died from something like this when she was so healthy and active. Fast forward to 2017 I had this feeling to search Nutro Max causing dogs to die and I found so much stuff and people who said their dogs experienced kidney failure and the brand of dog food they were eating.

Nutro dog food gives my dogs body fat, healthy teeth, and I like the big chunks in it instead the little bit. My dogs like to eat fast. I am glad it slows them down from eating fast.

My dogs, Toy Poodle and Belgian Shepherd, have been eating Nutro Max Grain Free food for over a year and are just fine. No further allergy issues and is easy to maintain a healthy weight in both of them. Until I learn differently I would recommend the grain free food to any and all.

I recently switched my 3 animals to Nutro Pet Food. 2 of them have serious allergies. I feed my cats Nutro Grain Free Salmon. One of my cats had chewed off her fur, and was vomiting after eating every day. I tried many different foods over her 15 years. Nothing helped until I found Nutro. Within 1 day, vomiting stopped. Within 1 week, she stopped chewing her fur and it was growing back. Today, a month later, she healthy, enjoying her food, has stopped vomiting, hair is thick and shiny, and has some much needed weight. Wish I had changed sooner.

I fed the adult version to my dachshund, Lucy who had diarrhea all over the carpet and I had to have it steam-cleaned. I thought she must have gotten into something. Soon after, I purchased a bag of Nutro puppy for my new Doberman puppy and he got diarrhea so bad it was awful. I put him on a bland diet and stopped the food. After it cleared up, I tried to gradually add the Nutro puppy food back into his diet. The loose stools came right back. This food is really terrible and with all the gastric complaints, I wonder why they are still selling it? Is it really GMO? GMOs cause gastric upset in people as well as animals. I think this food should be investigated thoroughly.

Our dog is now three years old and when we rescued him, he was 9 months old, and on puppy Nutro lamb, rice and chicken. He is on the same adult food now and loves this food. He does have some skin allergies during the summer and our vet told us that the food we are using is not causing any problems. So I rate this food formula 5 star for my dog as he really likes it and is thriving and happy.

I cannot believe what I'm reading here. I was recommended Nutro by a local pet store. I feed it to my 4 yo dog and a day later severe diarrhea and he pooped blood all over. I researched this food and unbelievable what I'm reading here, many dogs have the same symptoms from this food. That is bottom disgusting that this food is still sold in stores.

Nutro High Protein-Grain Free is well known in my social life and my friends tell me it is good. So I bought some pack of them to try. After I used it for months, my dogs look like they love it. I love buying this dog food because it is easy to eat for my two little dogs. They love it because it’s soft and got good taste. This dog food can make my dogs looks not fat and it looks good for my dogs eating every day. But it’s just too colorful, it seems not healthy at all. It is good if they can change color to make them look more healthy. And it’s better to add more vitamins in there.

I like that it is high protein, grain free, it's low glycemic with chickpeas and has carbohydrates which is good food for dogs. Provides lots of energy and salmon for omega's benefit. I chose it because it doesn't have a lot of junk additives which are not good for my dog. It's a very recommended brand by my veterinarian. Plus my dog loves this food. The only thing I don't like is the price, but pay it anyway knowing the benefits outweigh the cost and to have really good food for my dog which is healthier.

It is a good brand with different varieties and great flavors and my dog loves it. It has quality ingredients made from natural products that are helpful to my dog. Nutro High Endurance is tasty and enjoyable to my pet and it's something that I can feel proud to feed my dog.

The reason that I decided to buy the Nutro dog food is because the store I normally shop at was showcasing this brand at the front of the store and had a sale on the brand if I purchased 2 or more bags. The Nutro dog food (Lite & Weight Management) that I purchase for my dog is specially formulated for his stage in life and specific needs for that life stage. I like the dog food so much. It really is a great value for all of the nutrition that it provides.

My dog’s hair was not as soft as it was and I kept trying new food until I found Nutro Dog High Protein-Grain Free Food. His coat is soft and he feels great and both dogs love the taste and I want the best for my furry friends. I like that it has no artificial colors or flavors and great nutrition plus my dogs love the taste which is important because if they won't eat it, it does not matter how good it is for them. But I wish they would improve the bags to be a little tougher so they would be resealable and less prone to holes. I want the food to stay fresh and keep all its nutrients and also preserves the flavor so it would be an all around good thing.

I like that Nutro have different options for different needs of dogs as opposed to the one-size-fits-all of grocery store. In my situation I was looking for a weight loss type of dog food as my older dog is a bit overweight and I know that this is unhealthy for any animal. The Nutro Lite & Weight Management's price was reasonable and it had the weight mgt option I was looking for. Also, as I had to go to a Pet store to buy this food, it is a every once in a while expenditure. The only thing is I have had to use a can opener. As I am not averse to this, pop top cans are obviously easier. My teenage kids, who have never had need to use a can opener, did not know what to make of this!

We have tried other brands and my dog did not like them, but she loves Nutro (Lite & Weight Management). It is small enough for my dog to eat. It also is good for her diet. It is an all natural food source for my dog, and made with real meat and vegetables. It does not contain soy or any other by-products in it. This one she eats very well and doesn't have a problem with her stomach. But they could make it in a beef flavor instead of just chicken flavor.

The High Endurance was recommended by friends whose dogs love the food and think it's a healthy food compared to other brands on the market and I agree with it. It is a very premium dog food, easy to serve, and nutritious. It has an appetizing appearance, excellent aroma, and good texture. My dog loves it. Overall, Nutro Dog Food has met my initial expectations very well.

Nutro High Protein-Grain Free is pretty nutritious and well stored. It has long-lasting shelf life and a product guaranteed by my local pet stores. It has very friendly packaging and I like the products expiration date are usually spot on. It also has a lot of ingredients that are environmentally friendly and my dog loves it. It's one of the healthiest choices on the market and would only pick a few ahead of it. My dog is definitely more healthier from it. But I do not see the brand all the time in different stores and the prices could be a bit cheaper. Also make flavors and add a few other ingredients to keep the dogs more healthy.

Nutro is something my pet likes and I feel it is a healthy all natural choice as well I feel good giving this food to my dog and gives me piece of mind knowing that I am doing the best for my fur baby. My dog loves it and has had no issues with the Nutro Lite & Weight Management dog food. It doesn't have the harsh additives and artificial ingredient as some of the competition. I was hesitant at first because my dog is very picky and sometimes has issues and I must say with this food we are pleasantly happy with no complaints and I know I am feeding her the best ingredients.

I fully trust the company that offers this High Protein-Grain Free dog food. I initially chose this brand because I like what is on the nutrition label. No grains and meat as the number one ingredient along with other fruits and vegetables. I love this brand of dog food because of its premium and quality ingredients. It also was at a good price. And my dogs absolutely love the taste over any other dog food that I have tried. This brand has definitely met my expectations. But I would love for Nutro to add a fresh and refrigerated brand that included meats, vegetables and fruits as a main ingredient and not mostly made of grain.

Nutro Lite and Weight Management was recommended and sold at the vet's office and can be found at most local pet shops. The food has help him achieve his weight goal and helps him maintain his weight which makes him heavier and will aid in his longevity. But I wish the weight/low cal food came in smaller bite size for smaller dog size. Also the bags are very neutral looking and could be missed if I was not looking for it specifically. Other than that, my dog likes the taste of the dog food and he has been able to take off a few pounds without being hungry.

I love that I can buy almost every variety in this dog food so my favorite pups have the nutrition they need. My family has used this brand of dog food for three generations so I know it can be trusted. And I always recommend this dog food to anyone that asks. The Nutro High Endurance itself is great but I have a picky eater and I need more flavor options. I also need a puppies and growing variety to help keep up with any babies or a senior variety to help my old guy.

I strive to feed my dog and other pets the best food possibly available. Nutro is non-GMO and 100% organic. Costs means nothing when it comes to helping my animals. Everyone should take the same care in choosing food for their pets. If not they don't need to own one. My puppy was allergic to other foods and so far this brand (Nutro high protein grain-free) has exceeded my expectations of this and other dog foods. Everything is great except the fact that it takes me 30 min to find the nearest store that sells this type of dog food. The drive alone is not fun at all and it’s frustrating. But at the same time the dog food is a must have for my dogs and other animals.

My dog is enthusiastic about this food for its good taste, easy to chew, and he eats it twice a day. I do not worry that given the correct amount of food, he will not gain weight. Nutro provides complete nutrition without being high caloried and I like it very much. It is easy to handle because it is dry and I don't have to deal with messy cans. My dog is primarily a house dog, so keeping his weight down is important.

I like the healthy fiber in Nutro High Protein-Grain Free that is good for your dog. You want to have good vegetables and other healthy items so it has enough healthy stuff in there so we want to make sure we have more. When I tried it with my dog he seemed to like it a lot. It's a good blend or something is making him want to eat it and you want to make sure it's good. But Nutro should make the dog food tasty so that dogs will want to come back to it time and time again and make sure it has high healthy content so dog wants it consistently, I don't want to have to go buy different brands.

I like that Nutro offered different categories/types of food products for dogs of differing ages and that it was available as a dry form of dog food. I thought the packaging was attractive for purchase, and I liked that it was for weight management. But I would like to see more of a variety of flavors offered. I also wish that there should be a decrease in price or offer coupons and the calorie content was lower or somehow that it would have actually helped my pet lose weight and improve their health. New dogs need better weight control. I did not see a change in pets weight with Nutro and it did not meet my initial expectation that I would see my dog's weight decrease.

I like that Nutro Lite and Weight Management dog food is all natural with no corn or byproducts inside of it. The first main ingredients are normally something real and organic and not nasty ingredients used as a filler. But some months, I cannot afford it and I would love to keep my dog healthy. It is a little pricey and I get that it is all natural and that may cost a bit more. I was recommended it from a family friend and I also like to check the ingredients in my dogs foods to make sure I am not feeding them terrible stuff and that they are able to live happy and healthy lives.

I chose Nutro because it was less expensive than the Blue Buffalo brand we were buying and it seems to have similar quality. The Lite & Weight Management is low in calories but with proper nutrition and without artificial ingredients plus the price is not unreasonable.

Nutro High Protein-Grain Free is highly praised by other dog owners I talked to. I like the variety for other dogs and at different stages of their life. It meets every pet owner’s needs. I like the high protein and the no grain content. It’s a popular and natural and safe brand. I’d be willing to buy it for my pets. The kibble brand gives my dog the crunch that she enjoys as well as the care to keep her teeth and gums healthy as well as bone health, a shiny coat and her digestive system running smoothly. The vitamins inside the formula give her a healthy start to enjoy life. In spite of recent online reviews and some FDA investigations, I’d still try it and give it to my dogs. I’ve personally never had any problems, nor my dog. I just don’t see it on sale as much as the other brands and I would like larger package sizes. Overall it’s a great brand and product.

I chose Nutro Dog High Protein-Grain Free Food because my dog seems to really like this brand. The options offered are also one of a kind which further leads me to love it more. It has surprisingly exceeded my initial expectations which were rather high. I like this because there is no other product like this on the market. It take several hours in one day just to shop around to find this product, so it’s somewhat special. (Not only special for the dog per se.) I still love this product although I hate that this is rare on the market. But it’s always worth the purchase.

Our veterinarian suggested we try Nutro Lite & Weight Management. Formulated to control weight of our Pug who is a senior dog. No artificial flavors, colors preservative, non GMO and low calorie in a lamb and rice formula which has vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and nutrients to keep her healthy. It also gives her fiber and protein which she needs. And we were able to get her weight to an acceptable level. She went from 38 pounds to 30 pounds without starving for food and made our Vet happy. Dog enjoys this food and her digestive tract is healthy.
