Rachael Ray Nutrish Reviews

I gave this food to my dog and after just two days, he became very sick. He started vomiting, had diarrhea, and experienced extreme gas. It clearly didn’t agree with his system. I do not recommend it.

I have fed Rachael Ray dog food, wet and dry, as part of my dogs food rotation for a couple of years without any issues until now. I have a Standard Coated Xoloitzcuintli and an Am. Pit Bull/Am. Staff/Dalmatian/Chow/Golden.....mix breed neither are picky eaters and do well on almost any diet. I just purchased a new bag of the Grain Free Chicken and Sweet Potato kibble and several cans of Beef & Vegetables, Beef & Pumpkin and Chicken & Pumpkin. Three days in and my Pit mix starts vomiting, emptying her stomach. We fed her once more with even worse vomiting. Started her on boiled chicken and rice and she was back to normal. After a few days we added 1/2 cup of kibble to her rice and she was vomiting again. We are back on chicken and rice and will be changing our food immediately and removing Rachael Ray from our rotation.

If I could give this food a negative 5 I most definitely would. We have been giving my 6 lb Chihuahua the Gentle Digestion for some time now. I don't know what they have changed but the consistency is nowhere what it was. My baby has started having TERRIBLE issues such as intense stomach pain with very intense shivering, vomiting, gross stools . . . And that's just to name a few things. Not to mention all the time and money we have had to spend at the vet as well as having to see her in ICU for a week. I have written to the Nutrish company and all I got back was a stupid form letter asking me to answer all these questions. Keep in mind they were asking all the questions I had already answered.

I have been feeding my pit/lab mix Racheal Rays kibbles for a 15 months. She got along great until the last bag. It had a different smell. My dog ate it for two days and then became very sick with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. She would not touch the Racheal Ray again but acted hungry and wanted table scraps. After spending $700.00 at the vet who found only a very irritated colon we switched to a wild meat food and she got better almost immediately.

I don’t know if the new bag has a different recipe or is spoiled but we have had this on auto delivery for the last 3 years and suddenly BOTH of my dogs got really sick, in fact we are still trying to get their diarrhea to stop.. Usually when we feed our dogs, they are eager to eat their food but for some reason, they have been avoiding it, well I guess they eventually had to eat and my chihuahua started getting diarrhea and vomiting a couple days later.... 4 days later, my dachshund came down with the exact same symptoms!! Just a coincidence? I don't think so..

My 10 year old dog had an abreaction to Rachael Ray Nutrish, including blood and mucus in stool. Not much energy after eating this. She ate the regular commercial kibble prior, no problems. I have switched to a Dr, marty formula, which seems to be more digestible.

I purchased one can of Nutrish Beef and Veggie dog food to use as a topper on my dog's dry food. He liked the taste and gobbled up his food. The next morning, he was dropping piles of poop in the house (which he never does) and then he got sick and wasn't able to eat. On day two he was voiding a mix of water, mucous and blood. It's day 3 and he still isn't able to eat. With a majority of reviews like this, WHY IS THIS POISON STILL ON THE MARKET?

We purchased a big bag of Rachel Ray's dog food with no chicken and it does. All her products have some sort of poultry in it and my dogs can't have and they won't eat it anymore. They just lost interest. We can't get them to eat it. We put stuff in to entice them but no. They just don't like it.

Currently sitting in the parking lot of my vet waiting on my dog to get IV fluids. My dog has been on RR nutrish for a while but recently it has been hurting her stomach leading to diarrhea and bloody stool. After reading the reviews I can see this is an ongoing issue that needs to be addressed before people's pets dies because of their food.

Unfortunately this food caused quite a few health issues for my little pup. Nonstop bloody diarrhea and occasional vomiting. We had several vet visits and they could not find anything wrong. As soon as we changed food brands at the recommendation of another vet, the problems started resolving themselves. I feel whatever formula they are using is not good for dogs' digestive system at all. Save your pup and yourself the heartache and pass on this brand please!!

My dogs had been eating Nutrish for a couple months. They probably need to take a better look at quality control. This last bag has made 1 dog vomit every time & she can’t eat it at all. The other dog only will eat it if he is starving… idk what happened. But I can’t take a chance & I'm not going to buy this dog food anymore.

I got this food 'cause I'm in a hard spot financially and this was in the budget. 😞 I am so upset I didn't research this!! My poor Teddy Bear has been puking since 5 a.m. on and off. I did read on Google after doing a search on Nutrish. That they put herbicides In this dog food!!! No wonder so many pets are sick!! I wish I had a lawyer 'cause I'd sue the hell outta this new company!!

I started transitioned my service dog/fur baby on Rachael Ray Nutrish chicken and vegetable in September 2024. Shortly after he started throwing up. It wasn't everyday at first. Over the last 2 months he has been throwing up almost everyday. I could tell that he has lost weight. I took him to the vet 3 weeks ago. The vet said that this food isn't good quality food. My Henry has lost 15 pounds. The vet has me start him on a bland diet. Henry will not eat now. I have done research on the companies who have owned Nutrish which has been sold numerous times in the last several years. This is what the FDA said. We also want to alert readers to the fact that, in late June 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified Rachael Ray Nutrish as one of 16 pet food brands that may be linked to heart disease in dogs and cats. Apr 25, 2020. The previous companies have been sued.

My dog has been on this food for a few years and done well, until this new formula Nutrish. This made my dog very sick, severe diarrhea. I will not feed him this garbage. She should be giving refunds. I’m now stuck with a big bag of food that’s going in the trash.

My dogs got very sick a few days after getting new formula. My 14 year old did not make it. My remaining dog refuses to eat it. If it has an allergen my dogs couldn’t handle or coincidence I don’t know.

This food made my dog very ill. Bloody vomit and diarrhea. I will never purchase this food for her again. What is being put in this food? There are SO MANY other complaints just like mine. This food isn't fit for pigs.

April 2025. Bought small bag of Nutrish at Publix. Gave it to my dogs and immediately after they did not feel well and didn't want to get up. Throwing the rest away after reading all the problems other dogs have had with it.

If I could give it zero stars I would. My Yorkies have also showed signs of the bloody watery messy poo. My youngest also with the vomiting and was taken to the vet. A shot to stop the vomiting and anti-diarrhea meds as well as a bland home made diet per vet instructions. Started to return to the food and it happened again this morning. So furious this crap is on the market with the amount of complaints I've seen. I'm upset with myself for not doing a deep dive on the dog food after the vet visits and clear test results.

Our dogs did really well on it for a long time. The formula has changed and has a lot of jelly in it and our dogs don't want to eat it now. I understand the company has sold. We'll have to find something better now.

Bad Experience with both dogs. I was feeding Fromm from Germany & decided to try Rachael Ray Nutrish. Amazon bought it from a 3rd party refused to allow me to return or receive a refund - disappointed!

My Lhasa Apso almost died from Rachel Ray Nutrish Beef, Pea and brown rice recipe. His dog groomer first noticed purple lesions on his body when cutting his hair. My dog was also extremely itchy like never before.I took him took the vet and was told it was allergies due to the time of year (Spring). The vet gave him an allergy shot and it seemed to get better but never cleared completely up. The vet told me that he would require an injection every 30 days until allergy season was over. My Lhasa Apso was 6 years old and never previously had allergies of any kind. After another 30 days the lesions were back in full force but now he was vomiting blood with bloody diarrhea. I took him to a different vet that did a blood test. The blood test came back that his red blood cells were very low. The vet kept him overnight and gave him steroids.

I don’t usually leave reviews but I felt obligated to leave one about the Rachael Ray chicken and veggie recipe. I tried it for my 2 dogs, a husky and a small terrier mix. Well, for one they weren’t interested in it at all (and my husky is a little piggy, she‘ll eat anything, but not this) and when they did finally eat it, my husky has had diarrhea in the house for 3 nights (just from one bowl) and now my terrier is having bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Everything was completely fine with my dogs until they had this dog food.

My dogs loved Rachael Ray's Chicken & Beef dry food. And it smelled so good I could eat it. And the original packaging was so good. Now their dry dog food smells bad, & my dogs won't eat it. And the packaging looks like a cheap brand of dog food. I will definitely be buying another dog food brand now. And I've used Rachael Ray 5 years..

I purchased the Rachel Ray Nourish wet food because it was on sale at Publix and I only feed my maltipoo puppy food with human grade ingredients, like Cesar or Freshpet so I thought this would be a good fit for her. Within 30 minutes of eating this food, she went from her normal happy puppy self to whining, laying around, and not moving much as if she feels awful. I found this site by searching online to see if other people had the same problem after feeding their pets this stuff. Now I feel awful because my poor puppy is obviously miserable and I am throwing out the other packs I bought. There's something wrong with this food and this company needs to be shut down for selling something that they know is causing dogs to get sick. I'll never buy another one of her products and just pray my puppy feels better soon.

In my opinion, this dog food seems to be generally healthy, but it's very hard for my young miniature schnauzer to chew. Despite having healthy teeth, my 2-year-old dog struggles to eat it. When I put some food in a bag and hit it with a mallet, it barely broke down. This is my first time buying this food for my dog, what else is in this food that makes it hard so hard?

DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD. My dog can normally eat anything and everything without getting sick. I'm talking salsa, chocolate cake and huge chunks of meat fat. He has never gotten sick from switching dog foods. After a few days of this food he had awful bloody poo and had to be taken out 10+ times a night. He was howling when he pooped and straining to poop more small clots of blood out. The vet did some expensive tests and said it was probably just an upset stomach. I gave him chicken and rice for a few days and he got better. Since he felt better, I switched back to this food and he was immediately sick again hours later. I switched to a different dog food and now he's fine. Has anyone had success contacting the FDA about this? I'd like to get the food tested in a lab to see what's in it.

I’m happy with feeding Rachael Ray to my dogs. I haven’t had any problems. They get dry canned and homemade food. The little one has had skin allergies in the past and even she will nibble the dry sometimes and she is very picky. Considering other brands and the outrageous cost Rachael Ray is my choice. I pray all our dogs stay healthy.🙏🏾

Just no way she knows or cares about dogs!! I ran out of a regular dog food and had to run in a retail store grocery store and buy some dog food so I thought the best choice was going to be Rachael Ray. Boy was I wrong. Every bit of what my dog ate came out the other end with 30 to 45 minutes. It was all soft. It messed up his bowels. He is trained and had to go in his crate. That says a lot. Having such a low bar product on the shelves angered me to know when and it angered me that my dog's system was messed up for for three days. Shame.

We started feeding Rachael Ray's Just 6 a few years ago for the simple fact it contained minimal ingredients and it was affordable. Early on our dog did fine with it but apparently it was discontinued and our next order came in labeled as NUTRISH (9 simple ingredients). By doing a bit of research we found out the company was under new ownership and obviously the formula had changed. Now it was EXTREMELY TOXIC and our dog was suffering with EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA, PROJECTILE VOMITING, DEHYDRATION and was overall SICK AS HELL.

Our 6 y/o lab has been on Rachael Ray's for almost 2 years. Several months ago he started getting very sick. Non stop bloody stools, loss of control in bowels and bladder because of so much diarrhea. He was literally having blood dripping from his rectum. We went to the vet, ran tests, gave Several different rounds of medicine to try to help him. We were at the end and vet suggested to put him down because his quality of life was so miserable. We swore it couldn't be the food (vet suggested it was a possibility) because he's always been sensitive and Rachael rays until that point had been just fine.

I fed my 8 week old puppy this awful concoction thinking Rachael Ray surely would be a trusted healthy recipe. NO SUCH LUCK! My poor puppy had diarrhea 2 days and 2 nights (8 poops per night!!!!). He has felt miserable! I took him off of this poison and am now feeding him Purina Puppy Chow, that vet suggested and having no problems with the Purina. What the 'H" does Rachael Ray put in there to make so many dogs sick?!??

I purchased a box for my dog, we like to give him wet food because the hard food is too hard for his little teeth. We tried the Rachael Ray and he threw up a couple hours later. We didn’t know if it was the food or not so we kept giving it to him, he kept throwing up. Also gave him lots of gas!

Our GSP really enjoys Rachel Ray Nutrish. We switched from a long time Purina Pro Plan. She had been eating that since she was a puppy. She liked it, no issues et... The real issue for me was sometimes hard to purchase, (Amazon, PetSmart etc). Now we purchase Nitrish at our Publix Supermarket. Shilos loves the Chicken & Veggies. Thank you for a great product that we feel is good for our girl. PNS

Oh my God. This is horrible dog food! I purchased it for my 14lb dog because I wanted to save a dollar and switch to dry food for her teeth, she usually has fresh pet, but only 3 days and she's not doing good! She has had pancreatitis in the past so I should've known better! Her stomach is so upset and full of gas! She just seems like she doesn't feel good! I'm taking her off it now! Hope I can return the bag! Don't buy this dog food. 3 days and already affecting my dog!!

So I have a Great Pyrenees and a pit. They are both rescues. My Pyr has the worst sensitive stomach ever. Never had a dog be so sensitive before. My pit has allergies, skin allergies and was in rough rough shape when we rescued her. I tried the Rachael Ray food. It made my dogs sick and itchy. My pyr was puking very often and my pit was itching herself to death so I changed not long after switching to this brand. I thought at first maybe they needed to get used to it. Idrk tbh but no it wasn’t good for either. So I’d skip this one guys. Real talk. It’s been awhile. I don’t have my receipt but was bought at a pet store.

I’m writing to share a truly incredible experience with Rachael Ray's Nutrish Indoor Complete with Lentils. Honestly, I never thought a simple change in food could have such a dramatic impact on my cat, Kelly. A week ago, I bought Rachel Ray's cat food brand, Nutrish Indoor Complete with Lentils for my cat, Kelly, is NO foodie. Before trying this food, Kelly was the most unassuming, quiet cat. I often wondered if she was just naturally quiet or depressed.

I purchased Rachael Ray's big dog food which is no longer in production from a store Ingles on Asheville Hwy in Hendersonville NC. This dog food caused my American water spaniel to be bloated from constipation and itching really up your game if my dog were deathly I'll I would've sued but I gave her some chinese noodles with duck sauce and it removed it and switched over my brand from Petrol Iams senior and it cleared right up. Really no stars this time or any other time.

My dog eats twice a day. 3 cups divided by 2. So mixed one cup of his regular food with 1/2 cup of Nutrish. He wouldn't eat for 2 days. Then finally on the third day, he dumps the bowl and he actually picked out his regular food and left the Nutrish laying spread out on the floor. When I swept it up and checked it was exactly a half cup. So he didn't eat one piece of the Nutrish. So the next day I reduced the Nutrish to 1/4 a cup and the same thing happened again. He dumps it and doesn't touch one piece of the Nutrish. So we decided to fill his bowl with nothing but Nutrish and for the next 3 days he didn't eat. The bag and the bowl are still full. I won't even donate this to a shelter. It's headed for the landfill as you read this.

After reading the reviews this seems to be a common issue. I purchased Rachael Ray's dog food at Publix Monday and by today Weds he has thrown up several times and has bloody mucus, solid poop and diarrhea. Also drip blood from rectum. My husky is also house broken and pooped in the house because he can't control it. This seems to be a common theme even in 2022. They need to pull this dog food off the shelves!

This food caused my dog to have bloody stool for 2 days. I had to throw it out. I googled it to see if anyone else had this issue and apparently it's common. She should discontinue her wet dog food...
