Rachael Ray Nutrish Reviews

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...

We just bought our 17 yr old dog a bag of Rachael Ray's dog food - we have always fed him the cheap stuff, but we thought maybe he deserves some good food so why not Rachael Ray?? She's a good cook - BAD MOVE!!! Our poor old Sparky is now on his death bed... It only took two weeks and in that second week, he seizured 5... FIVE times!! He was partially blind to start with and now pretty darn sure he can't see at all - runs into tables, corners himself in corners and can't get out - He's become aggressive because he can't see NOW and is scared to death - He stands in the middle of the room howling at the top of his lungs DAY AND NIGHT and can barely walk - It's like he's standing on ice!

I, too thought this was a great product but after feeding this to my babies they all are experiencing bowel issues. This has never been the case before and I suspect it is related to switching to this product. I have just completed a deep dive and although the websites said there were no recalls I think there should be. I will not purchase again.

I thought I was making a wise choice for my dogs. The less costly brands are not a option for me. I have 2 dogs with a chicken sensitivity so also only beef or fish or venison. Out of 5 of my dogs 3 of them are seriously not well after just over 2 months of Rachael Ray dog food. It is not worth it. Do not buy. My receipt is for RR beef and vegetable and a bag of RR salmon.

Please do not feed your dog(s) this brand. My healthy Pomeranian got extremely sick in a very short period of time eating this food. Like many aforementioned reviews, my fully house broken dog could not control his bowel movements on this food, and to watch it unfold was nothing less than heartbreaking. My dog is on a very regular daily feeding and walking schedule, and has never had an accident or issue with bathroom breaks, until I tried this food.

I've noticed that the Big Life Brand Chicken with vegetables has less big bites! Also there has been 1/ 2 cup of dry crumbs in the bottom of the bag! Cost of large bag is overpriced. Not what I expected!

My dog died an ugly and messy death, I suspect it is due to feeding her Nutrish. My surviving dog won't touch the stuff. Now I have to live with the guilt that I made the choice to save a few dollars. The difference in price is roughly equivalent to paying the fee to have the dog cremated.

The last two times I bought This dog food Rachael Ray Nutrish wet dog food. And it doesn't matter what you buy, lamb and rice or any of the wet dog food. It has given my German Shepherd the diarrhea, runs really bad. The last time I used it was just 4 days ago and now I'm sitting up with him all night going outside to potty and it's got to be this dog food. I don't know what's wrong with it but I will never buy this again. I should have stayed with the Blue Buffalo. I really don't recommend this for your dog, just in case something's wrong with the dog food.

Well reading these reviews is pretty scary. My otherwise perfectly healthy four-year-old lab started developing seizures about a year ago and they’ve only been getting worse. This was around the time that we switched to the Rachael Ray dog food. I don’t know if it’s dog food but now I’m very curious if there’s a correlation because the dog's doctor and neurologist, can’t explain any other reason for it. We will be stopping this food immediately and switching to another well-known brand while we monitor the dog for improvement. Apologies for any typos in this review because I’m talking to text.

My poor dog has the misfortune of eating Rachael Ray turkey treats......HE VOMITTED BLOOD. Only new change, his food, milk bone, and other treat brand has been consistently given to him for the last year. 5 hours at the vet, nothing wrong but the treats. No more treats, never threw up again.

I hope Rachael Ray sees this. My dog and puppy would not eat their Nutrish Big Life yesterday morning and were given salmon and rice. They ate the salmon and rice. A family member gave the adult dog Big Life for dinner and the puppy ate puppy food. The dog who ate the Big Life threw up. I contacted the company and asked to have the food tested and they do not test unless they have several complaints. 71190 76182 bar code on bag. 76192003 above bar code. I fear the batch may not be safe for consumption.

I usually feed my pit bull buffalo but I tried Rachael Ray because the pet store was closed. At first my dog loved it, he even ate it without me mixing his usual wet into it. But he couldn’t hold his poop in. He is fully house trained, yet on this food he poops like a horse. Big piles of poop in my kitchen two days in a row!! I should have known, it’s was only $7 a bag.

I have an almost 2 year old cava poo. I been feeding her Rachael Ray since I got her at 8 weeks old. Recently I brought a refill bag of Rachael ray dog food because I ran out. I don't know if they changed the formula or what but my dog started throwing up for 4 days straight. I took her to the vet and $325 later my dog is better. Something told me to research this brand of dog food and after reading the reviews it's evident that this food poisoned my dog. I now give my baby science diet and she is happy now.

I purchased Rachael's bright puppy food for the first time after getting my puppy back from someone who was caring for her and my puppy was emaciated and in bad shape, I've had her back 9 days, she eats all of her food and now is healthy and happy, I will continue to buy this brand for her, I'm so pleased with the results it's had on my puppies all over health.

Bought my dog and two cats the Rachael Ray dry food because we ran out of their usual food. I ONLY buy them high quality food and spend a pretty penny for it because I want them to be healthy.. After reading the ingredients it seemed to be clean and organic so I bought it. After a week of using this food, my dog and one of my cats started to itch severely to the point they were bleeding, scabbing, and ended up balding. My other cat was having horrendous diarrhea so we Immediately stopped using it and had to get allergy medicine and supplements to help stop the balding. We’re still working on getting their hair back after a few months now, but my other cat is fine now. Unless you want to take your fur babies to the vet eventually and spend money on medication, stay way!

I feed it to both of my dogs. I ran out the their original food was in rush brought at Walgreens. I notice one dog did see him not eat it at first and when started I notice the more over days he did eat it and was vomiting the food. I realized this food bothers him and I decided throw it out. Never buy again. Had to take my dog to vet the sickness continued and he lost weight then knew It had been from buying that food.

My 2 year old dog is currently being hospitalized for 3 days as a direct result of the poisonous food. She has severe pancreatitis, hemorrhagic gastritis, and severe dehydration. My vet confirmed the formula in this “food” is extremely rich and high in fat and 100% to blame. I have to pay $4,000 to save my baby's life and I am absolutely devastated emotionally and financially. It is unbelievable this poison is still on shelves. Stick to your mediocre human food Rachael. I am beyond disgusted and infuriated. How dare you face these reviews and complaints and continue cashing checks while people are losing their beloved pets! Legal action will most definitely be pursued. UNACCEPTABLE AND VILE.

Rachael Ray should remove her name from this product. After two days on this food my dog was vomiting blood, fortunately we stopped feeding this garbage to my dog. If I could have given less than one star I certainly would have!! I wish I had read the reviews prior to buying this for my family member! If Rachael Ray had any morals and wasn't just after the money, she would take this junk off the market!!! Please, Please don't buy this and feed it to any dog!

My 6yr 11m old mixed pit boxer is now dying from a mass on his spleen. He's had diarrhea for months and has lost almost 20lbs now. We thought we were giving him the right good food. I read all the reviews...and it follows what we've gone through. Hemangioma or hemangiosarcoma...not sure because we can't afford the 1100 dollar scan. 8000 for surgery. I'm sooo angry and sad and beside myself. I don't know what to give our dogs anymore...First, he had anal prolapse... diarrhea bloody. Vets are soo unhelpful...they just want to kill your dog, I swear. Please pray for my puppy to get well... Can't stop crying with this death sentence...and all because of this food.

I wish I had read the reviews for this garbage before buying a bag for my dog. After a couple of weeks with this food he started urinating blood regularly, having bloody stool, and just crying in pain all day and night. After switching back to blue buffalo senior food, he is sleeping soundly and no longer peeing blood. The vet said this food has caused kidney failure in a lot of animals. Likely toxic additives being introduced in their production process. This company does not care about the health of your pet and if you love them, DO NOT FEED them this trash. This stuff should not be on the market.

My dachshund ate this for 2 weeks, at 3 week I stopped giving it to him because it gave him severe diarrhea. I kept him hydrated and stayed with him every night all night. Let him outside and all did was have gas and diarrhea! He couldn't eat anything! He lost 6 pounds, his collar no longer fits him. We thought he was going to die! He has gotten better since we stopped that dog food but it has taken a week for him to start eating again. It was Rachael Ray Nutrish Dog Food with Salmon and Sweet Potato! Beware!! I didn't read the reviews or I would have never bought that brand!!! I won't buy anything else with her name on it! I still have the food so I can get it tested! I bought my dachshund Wellness Core and he had no issues whatsoever!

I’ve been feeding my cat Rachael Ray Nutrish for over a year. Most recently over the last few month, she has been eating the Salmon flavor. My indoor cat is over-grooming and pulling out her hair. She has been treated as a preventative for parasites. The vet can’t find any reason for this behavior except for the food. She loves the food but it is making her itchy. It should be checked to allergens.

We have been feeding their beef dry food to our Fred, an almost 3 yr old Lab, Border Collie, Aussie mix, think it was a good food and believing the label. He had an ear infection in his right ear for 7 months or more only to be healed by a product from Innovet, called PurOtic. Wonderful product, btw. Now, Fred is having seizures and after talking with a friend, advising we are feeding him this product and him telling us stories of his dogs issues, his daughter's dogs issues, we looked into it and found so much bad about this product. We have thrown out the rest of the food just now and will be switching to another food TONIGHT!!! I will try and post a follow up in a few weeks, probably, to give the new food a chance but he eats way more than he should, seems hungry even right after we feed him, too. Our friend advised that there is absolutely NO nutritional value in this food. Update hopefully coming, as I said. Wish I could rate 0 stars...

Bought new bag of Rachel Ray Nutrish Chicken & Veggies dry dog food and the entire 50 lb bag is filled with mold. The bag was purchased from BJ’s and intact-no holes, etc. I called the company and they said they will send a refund. I learned that Smuckers just sold this division of the company to Post. I’ll never buy this food again.

I can’t tell you the horror I experienced when I noticed some type of burn on my dog’s face after feeding him Rachael Ray dog food for months. It kept getting worse and worse, tried all kinds of meds, ointments (that he absolutely hated) and vet visits. Nothing worked until I changed his food. Only thinking that a more holistic approach could work. Little did I know, her food was the problem. I realized this after he would flare up again anytime he was put back on the food! Once I connected the dots, I read other reviews and was mortified. I couldn’t believe it. Oh, and these photos are just to show ONE of many issues my poor pup had. He actually ripped out a ton of his whiskers (possibly forever)! This was over a year ago now and they’re still gone.

I have been using Rachael Ray Nutrish for a few years and never had issues with the product until recently. I bought a refill bag and noticed that after a day eating the new bag of food my dog has uncontrollable diarrhea. She had bloody, watery stools multiple times throughout the night and the following day. I put her on medicated dog food and got a fluid injection per the vet's instruction and stools went back to normal. The vet recommended to try a little bit of the Rachael Ray dog food once the stools returned to normal to see if that was the culprit for sure. Once she was back to normal, I gave her a handful of the Rachael Ray food and sure enough, she had a watery stool. I had to throw out a large bag of dog food and made a point of buying higher-quality food from a different manufacturer. Waste of my time and money on the food and vet bills. I recommend staying away from this food as it seems to be hit or miss.

Unfortunately, I had to give one star in order to post this review. If I could have given negative stars, I would have. After switching my completely healthy 3 yr old GSD to this food, she began having seizures. We had to rush her to the emergency vet. They had to give her multiple doses of multiple meds to stop the seizures activity. All test for congenital epileptic disorders were negative. The tox screen is still pending, but the vet said she's 99% certain she had been poisoned. It only took one Google search to find out that this brand of dog food is linked to multiple class action lawsuits. This variety in particular was involved in a class action lawsuit because this food contains the weed killer glyphosate.

I purchased Rachael Ray Nutrish Little Bites Small Breed Natural Dry Dog Food and Rachael Ray Nutrish Real Chicken & Veggies Recipe Dry Dog Food for my two dogs two weeks ago. I mixed the new food with their old food for a few days as you are supposed to do, and within about 10 days of starting the Rachael Ray Nutrish my smaller dog, 10 pounds, started having accidents in the house which is not typical. When cleaning up one of the accidents, my husband noticed that there was quite a lot of blood in the urine.

Last weekend my dog got into this food at a friend's house and got SEVERELY ILL within 12 hours. He is otherwise perfectly healthy and vibrant and was SO sick we had to go to the ER TWICE. He was vomiting, wouldn’t eat or drink, beyond lethargic, super weak, acting strange, pacing, etc. He ended up with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis so with that also came tissue sloughing (his insides so inflamed, they literally start “shedding”) where inside tissue is just coming out of his bum and blood with diarrhea. He had to get IV fluids TWICE, multiple meds (injections there and a course of meds this week to continue) and it was the most distressing experience for both of us.

Started this food in the beginning of December and my very healthy five-year-old cat and also very healthy twin cats that are 4 months old are all lethargic, peeing blood and the vet has no explanation what's going on. After a very costly vet bill and antibiotics for the past 2 weeks, they are not getting any better. Did some research today and it said " have you changed your cat's food recently?" The only thing that has changed in this entire household has been this food. Looked it online reviews and it seems like everybody else is having the same issues. Returning the few extra bags that I have just bought and going back to my regular cat food that I feed the outside Barn cats. Zero of them are having issues.

Before purchasing the Rachael Ray Nutrish - Beef, Pea, and Rice dry dog food, my blue nosed pit's gorgeous coat changed, and she changed. She was lethargic, vomiting, lacking energy, just not her normal playful self. I took her to the vet and immediately she asked me if I had switched Powder's food. When I told her yes, to Rachael Ray she told me she had lost count of how many owners had brought their dogs in after eating her dog food, with severe allergic reactions. After 4 different medications and a $700 bill, and now several months later, my dog is still struggling to get her original coat back. Furious isn't the word. My advice, stay away from anything with her name on it pertaining to pets/animals.

My cat loves this food and I feel it's an affordable brand that is a step above Meow Mix and Friskies. Now if I switch my cat back to meow mix to save a dollar or two she turns her nose up. I feel better giving my cat a slightly higher quality of food while still remaining on a tight budget

I love the different types of variety, not only in Flavors but products for different dog sizes. We started our once little guy on the Nutrish Puppy and he loved it. Now he's a huge fan of the variety for big dogs. He especially likes all the different shapes in the food. I would recommend this food to anyone trying to decide on what their fur baby should eat.

My cats love this food, it's made with natural ingredients and so it's very healthy. They are also very healthy. I have been using it for years and the price is very affordable. There are enough choices to be able to give them a variety of flavors.

We have two cats that have been eating this garbage cat food. About a month ago, our female calico started scratching her ears to the point where she had bloody scabs and hair loss. I took her to the vet and he said it was an allergy. My other male cat also has some scabbing by his ears, but not as bad as our female calico. He does not eat the wet food as much, but tonight he had some and started scratching his ears again. We just threw all of the wet food out and will get something else. I hope it has not done any other damage to our fur babies. After reading other people’s reviews on here, it makes sense to why they are both itching. Shame on you and your product, Rachael Ray! This crap needs to be removed permanently from all shelves!

This just happen today!!!! Our cats regular food was out of stock so we decided to buy a small bag of the Rachael Ray's Peak Dry Cat Food. I gave my cats a scoop each this morning. Within a couple of hours they were both vomiting and scratching their faces constantly. We just figured out they’re having issues trying to poop and pee. They keep sitting in their litter box, but unable to pass anything through. It’s gotten to a point where they’re both crying in pain. We are taking them to the ER now. I wish I had read the reviews first. DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND. This needs to be taken off the shelves ASAP.

Her food apparently has a lot of vitamins and supplements that create a blockage in most cats' urinary tract! Which requires immediate emergency 1200$ surgery that took us 2 years to pay off!!! I trusted her brand with my animals. I changed them immediately to HILL'S SCIENCE DIET. I WISH HER FOOD WAS TAKEN OFF THE SHELVES. STICK TO COOKING FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION RACHAEL!!

Their regular food was not in stock. I purchased Rachael Ray Nutrish dry cat food. After 2 weeks my cats could not poop. They had bowel impactions. The worst one sick was the one who eats the most dry food. They were all having issues throwing up and impacted stools. They eat mostly canned food and dry as supplement. I have not had this issue ever before with any of my cats. I will never feed this food to any of my ‘family’ ever again. This food almost killed my cats. Many emergency trips to the Vet. Nobody needs to grief of seeing their cats dying because of what they trusted could be fed to them.

I bought some large bags of Nutrish for my dog and cats. They have been eating it exclusively along with a variety of canned food. My dog has been scratching herself constantly. My cats have been vomiting. I am throwing the rest away today.

I have purchase product for many years. Recently, the product had mold. The company was contacted and informed about the problem. Coupons were offered and a Fedex label to return the product for examination. Twelve days later no response was received. A second call was made. The company representative indicated that it takes 3 weeks to a month to receive delivery. This was not communicated in the initial phone call. This time frame is not practical for me to help them research their problem.

A few weeks ago we were at a local farm store and bought a bag of Rachel Ray Nutrish Super Medly dry dog food. We had used other Nutrish products before but I thought I would try the different flavor. After about 2 weeks our Scottish Terrier started to have trouble walking then she started throwing up. We took her to the vet on Saturday and they told us her kidneys were shutting down. Over the weekend they gave her 3 rounds of fluids but on Monday we had to have her euthanized. On Tuesday the 2 Doxies we have has developed diarrhea and we have had to go to the vet today for meds for them. When they developed diarrhea I threw the rest of the bag away. We can only hope out Doxies get better but the reason for sharing this is so someone else might not lose a pet like we have.

I'd been feeding my cat Sheba perfect portions wet food for a while, and I bought Rachael Ray Nutrish on a routine visit to Petco because I wanted to upgrade to a better quality food that contained more moisture. She absolutely loved the Nutrish and I fed it to her for two days before I googled reviews. I'm SO glad I did. I switched her back to her normal food right away because although she loves the taste of Nutrish I'm not willing to take any chances on her health. I did notice even after the two days she began itching herself more than usual, and her bowel movements were softer and way smellier than before. These are both symptoms mentioned by a lot of other reviewers. I'm hoping no damage has been done, but I'm definitely going to keep an eye on her and be much much more careful in the future. Thank you to every person here who has shared their experience, honestly you may have saved her life.

I bought a small bag of Rachel Ray Nutrish dry cat food to try out for my cats because my aunt said she was trying it. Her cats loved it. BIG HUGE MISTAKE. Within less than 2 weeks of buying the cat food, one of my cats is dead and one of my aunt's cats dead. Two different households, only similarity was the Rachel Ray Nutrish dry cat food. Both cats had the exact same symptoms and the vet said both cats had acute kidney failure. Both cats only about a year to a year and a half old and both cats DEAD because of Rachel Ray Nutrish dry cat food. DO NOT FEED THIS FOOD TO YOUR CATS! If she her food poisons cats, it probably does to dogs too. Keep your fur babies safe and do not feed Rachel Ray Nutrish Food! I wish I had enough money to get food analyzed and do autopsy for proof and I would sue. Also wish I read these reviews before buying this food and I could have saved my poor cat from a horrible death. Cannot repeat this enough... DO NOT BUY RACHEL RAY NUTRISH FOOD! IT WILL KILL YOUR PETS!

I bought the Rachael Ray Nutrish as a backup because I didn't get home on time from work to go to PETCO to buy their regular food from "Instinct." I bought a small bag. The cats loved it, however; after almost a week, my 3 year old cat started throwing up, looking really sick and lethargic. He also had a hard time going to the bathroom. Not too long after his symptoms, my 1 year old cat started to throw up and share in the same symptoms but she was still able to use the bathroom. I never had issues with other emergency foods before.

I purchased Rachael Ray's Nutrish wet dog food since they were out of our regular food, I started giving my dog this food on Friday and on Monday he hasn't wanted to get up. He's lethargic, can barely move, not eating or drinking anything. I took him to the vet. He was pumped up with fluids and took blood. Waiting for an answer of what is happening. I wish I would of seen these posts before giving this horrible food to my fur baby. Take it off the market already if so many dogs have become sick. I want them to pay all of these vet bills as well. It was a pretty penny.

A little over a month ago I went to buy my sweet Australian Shepherd her regular dog food, Blue Buffalo dry dog food. But, Safeway didn't carry it, so I bought her Rachael Ray dog food. At first, she didn't seem to want to eat it, but I thought that was because it was not her usual dog food. After a few days she started laying round most of the day, seemed to have trouble getting up and then refused to eat anything. I took her to the vet and after a few days they diagnosed her with IMHA. She might never get well. I know that I did this to her by trusting this dog food. I did save some of it and as soon as I can raise enough money I am going to have it analyzed.

My perfectly healthy 7 year old lab is in the emergency vet as I type this, due to Rachael Ray Nutrish dog food. It made her sick and my other dog wouldn't touch it. I think she knew something was wrong. I immediately threw out the food but over the next couple of days my dog is not better. Took her to the vet and she is in kidney failure. Reading these reviews, I'm not alone. I contacted Chewy to remove Rachael Ray's products from their site.

I fed my dog Rachael Ray's wet food which comes in a pack of 6 with all this nice packaging and is very affordable but at a high risk. My dog developed terrible allergies, would gag when she would smell the food, and would move a lot slower. The only reason I bought this is because it was the only appealing food I seen and it actually looked like good quality food. Terrible mistake. Do not buy this for your dog. My dog is currently recovering and began to feed her Blue Buffalo instead. DO NOT BUY!!!! It may seem affordable but your dog deserves better food.

My cat is usually fussy about me changing his food but I thought this was healthier from what I had read about the ingredients. I filled his bowl and he started eating like it was the best thing he ever tasted. I was amazed! He had no tummy issues since then. I’m very satisfied.

This dry food is grain-free and contains meat or fish as its first ingredient. It doesn't load up on fillers so my cats are receiving a good source of protein as well as other needed nutrients and supplements, e.g. taurine. The cats like it and I can buy it in the supermarket rather than having to visit a pet food store.

All the other brands you listed made my cat eventually sick! So out of desperation I tried Rachel Ray's and my cat loved it, and didn't have any more problems getting sick. To this day I don't know why, but happy my cat is thriving!

I gave my dog the soft meatball chicken roasters and other Rachel Ray treats and he started vomiting so I put them away and my husband found them. Eventually my dog got pancreatitis which was very difficult to diagnose because it was mild and then became severe. Unfortunately, he passed away and it was extremely heartbreaking and I kept racking my brain what did he eat and the only thing I could think of where these terrible fatty treats. I should’ve thrown them in the trash immediately which is where they belong. They are garbage and must be very very high in fat, very dangerous for dogs and I want everyone to know - that please do not buy these treats. I didn’t get my dog a lot of fatty foods and this is the only thing I can think of that he ate and contributed to his pancreatitis. Please read all labels and don’t believe everything you read. Do your own research and go to a health food doggy store for any healthy treats, never Petsmart or Chewy.

I have been feeding my cat Rachael Ray indoor cat food for two or more years. My cat likes it. She lets me know when the dish is empty and to refill it. I chose this cat food because I was having trouble with my cats stomach. But now that she is eating this cat food everything seems to be just fine.

My cat is VERY picky! When I first gave her the Nutrish she started eating dry food again. She had diabetes and I have to keep her weight up and she does not like most of the dry ones. It keeps her caloric intake up with healthy food that she will eat!!!

Rachel Ray cat food has natural ingredients and no fillers. My cat loves it. I would recommend to anyone. The price is right. You can get it in most stores. The flavors come in chicken, salmon and other varieties. Very good product.

Despite the stereotype, many cats cannot tolerate cow's milk. Even worse is coconut milk. My cat will get sick and mewl in pain for several hours along with lose bladder control when fed cow's milk. Same for coconut milk. I usually get another brand's broth pouch, and my cat has no problems with those. They don't use coconut milk. I fed a pouch of this Nutrish broth pouch, and within an hour my cat is crying in pain. Then I read the ingredients. What BOOB thinks putting coconut milk in cat food was a good idea? Yeah, feed this stuff to your cat if you want it dead! Coconut milk can KILL your cat after several feedings. I tossed this hazardous cat food in the trash. It should never had made it to the shelf.

I fed my 9.5 lb. male Yorkshire Terrier Rachael Ray's Nutrish wet dog food. I only fed him this because Chewy was backed up (due to pandemic) and his usual dog food hadn't come in yet. What a terrible mistake - within two weeks he became extremely ill, suddenly very lethargic, loss of use in his hind legs, wouldn't go through the doggy door or climb stairs. He had no energy, hard to keep awake, no longer wanted to play. He is normally VERY high energy. I was so scared and after reading the reviews on Consumer Affairs I was HORRIFIED that a food so terrible is legally allowed to be sold ANYWHERE. Whatever is in this food WILL hurt your pet, possibly irreparably, over time. If you are using this - STOP immediately. Dexter is now doing fine after throwing out that poison and his energy is back. THANK GOD! PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF THE SHELVES FOREVER!!!

If you love you dog, which I’m sure you do, do not feed this product to your dog. I’ve feed my beautiful black lab rescue. The sweetest dog you’ll ever have this garbage wet and dry food. After a few months we noticed that she became lethargic. She didn’t want to play or even be around her family. Threw it got worse. She had difficulty waking. Her hind legs would no longer hold her up. She couldn’t go up or down stairs and didn’t even sleep in her bed.

To start with we HAD two very healthy dogs a White German Shepherd & a Spitz. We bought the NEW nutrish supermedleys. Fed it to our babies for a few weeks then out of nowhere the wgsd had a stroke and loss all control of her hind end with no feeling. We had to euthanize her, we were so torn up over it. Then a week later our Spitz had a stroke with the exact reaction. Totally loss all control and feeling in her hind end. We had to put her down. We lost 2 great and very healthy family members because of this food. We have some left and our vet is working to see what's exactly in it. Obviously it's not safe to feed to your dogs. I'm so mad and disappointed in the Rachael Ray branding. It sickens me to think that she has turned a blind eye on her product just for the money, not worried about the big picture of dogs getting sick and or even death from her. PLEASE IF YOU LOVE YOUR PUP DO NOT BUY THIS!!!

Out of ignorance, I switched to this food because I thought the Simply Nourish that I'd been feeding my Dakota since pup-hood had caused issues with his stomach. The reality of it was that I like to alternate flavors and ended up switching too quickly without blending. Rookie mistake. He was on Rachael Ray Nutrish's turkey and venison dry food for two months with a spoonful of wet food for each meal.

This is the worst dog food I've ever purchased. It isn't even worthy of 1 star but that's not an option. I have 3 dogs, 2 of them are pugs that will literally eat anything including ** and they will not eat this dog food. I have tried mixing it with other food such as canned dog food or a tiny amount of table scraps. They still won't eat this food. After reading the other reviews I'm glad they won't eat it. Unfortunately, I purchased 3 bags of this garbage due to the covid-19 virus coming to the USA and everyone buying up everything and hoarding it. The only thing left on the shelf was Rachel Ray's Nutrish. Now I know why. I wouldn't donate this garbage to the animal shelter, their life is already rough enough.

I would give no Star if I were allowed to. I was led to believe that Rachel Ray’s dog food was healthy. And started feeding it to my dog about a year ago. I just noticed her getting so fat but I wasn’t feeding her any more than I used to. So I researched and I found that the FDA just put out a warning there are many dog foods that cause weight gain and cancer and Rachel Ray’s Nutrish is one of them. The FDA article says that when dog food is labeled grain free it is often bad for your animal. This is a marketing ploy. I noticed her weight gain. I didn’t feed her more than I ever fed her but she gained 15 pounds in less than a year because I switched her to Rachel Ray’s food. She also started having seizures! The FDA warned that Rachel Ray’s food will cause cancer and you won’t know until it’s too late. I am now cooking for my dog and hoping that I caught it before she gets too sick to be saved! Don’t buy Rachael Ray’s Nutrish for your animals!

Neither of my dogs have had strokes or any health problems before switching to what I thought would be healthier dog food for them. Now both my dogs have had strokes. Most recent one being yesterday. I’m so heartbroken. Since I just looked it up and FDA is in investigation due to increased amount of heart disease linked to the dog food.

My dog passed away 3 days ago. He died due to heart failure. I went back and did some research on this dog food. I found out that it had been recalled. There are some studies done and most of the dogs that past away were for the same reason, heart failure. The sad thing is that there are no symptoms until it's already too late. He started being lethargic, with a cough, trouble breathing. PLEASE do not buy this food. Check this website mentalfloss.com and the FDA report called: THE FDA Has LINKED 16 Popular Dog Food Brands to Canine Heart Disease. I HAD to click on a star or otherwise I would have not given it a single one.

Our dog was healthy as of a few months ago, with positive blood work test results to prove it. After 5 days of eating Peak Western Grasslands Recipe with Bison, my dog is no longer running on walks, needs help getting in/out of the car, lost most of her energy, dizzy when walking and has fallen over, rapid breathing periodically without any movement prior...something is definitely wrong with this food. After reading the reports online that this dog food can contain chemicals from roundup weed killer and/or traces of euthanasia drugs, our beloved dog will never eat this food again. I wish we did our research before trying a new dog food, but we ran out and needed to grab something from the Grocery Outlet store across the street. Please do your research before using this dog food.

My Beagle has been eating this food for about two weeks. The first sign was itching. He developed a hematoma in his ear from the shaking due to the itching. Cost over $1,000 in vet bills with 2 surgeries and draining of his ear more than 3 times. For the past 5 days he has had diarrhea and been vomiting. He also has a patch of hair missing on the outside of his other ear that was not operated on. His bowl has remained full of this food as he now refuses to touch it! Big Red Flag. Last night in an effort to get him to eat I made him cooked chicken breast with white rice and he licked his plate clean! This food is going in the trash immediately!!! Waste of money! I wouldn't feed this to a starved stray... It's that bad.

We raise English bulldogs, I was told how good this food was, after 3 weeks on the new nutrisse steak, my dogs are all going crazy itching... Took them to the vet and poor babies are having a reaction to this food. Horrible horrible horrible!

I gave my 5 year old this product and after 2 days he is vomiting the food. They are selling this at Dollar General. I understand why now. Shame on Rachael Ray for supporting this product. Where is USDA.

I have been feeding Rachael Ray Nutrish dog food to my American Eskimo dog Bear for over 5 years now. I also fed it to my other American Eskimo Teddy, before he died of old age a couple of years ago. I have had zero problems with this dog food. No health issues at all. As a matter of fact, about 3 weeks ago my wife decided to buy some Kibbles and Bits for Bear because he eats the Rachael Ray Nutrish pretty slowly and she wanted him to have something different. Within days he was throwing up and had bad diarrhea. We stopped the Kibbles and Bits & put him back on Rachael Ray Nutrish & he is back to normal.

People wake up!! If it’s not safe for humans to eat it’s not safe for your pets, My dogs are currently experiencing the side effects from this so called good food, they are vomiting, constantly itching, they aren’t absorbing any nutritional value whatsoever and due to (No Vitamin D) my dogs that (HAD PERFECT TEETH) are now becoming obese. Gums that are bleeding, their teeth are totally decayed to the point they are loose and falling out, they are losing fur!!! Rachael Ray you need to go back to chef school because you certainly fell short of this product that you endorse and due to my pets failing health my vet bills need to be reimbursed for all 3 dogs... My dogs now have to eat soft food which my sister cooks for them every day because they can’t chew anything due to rotted decayed bleeding gums and teeth falling out!!! I foresee lawyer visit in near future due to this matter!!

Please beware of Rachael Ray Nutrish Small Bites Dog Food (kibbles). I will never again feed this brand to my dog and would beg the same of any friend or family member. I'm even here begging you, a total stranger, to please not feed this to your pet. Halfway through one bag of Rachael Ray Nutrish, my 12-pound Yorkshire Terrier began to have serious diarrhea, vomiting, and skin inflammation. I stopped feeding it to him immediately but he has developed food allergies as a result and it's taken several weeks for him to start feeling better. He has scars all over his ears from the constant scratching and I'm still trying to figure out what I can safely feed him. If I could give it negative stars and still post this review, I would. This food made my healthy pet terribly ill.

For some reason, my Beagle is very choosy when it comes to dry dog food. I’ve tried several brands and so far, and this is the only one he will eat straight out of the bag. He would smell all the others and back away. Can’t say that I blame him, they truly stink!

Had my dog try Nutrish, he really liked it and I liked the ingredients except the peas, he doesn't attempt to eat them, they are hard as a rock and he leaves them all over the house which is a pain. He likes peas fresh or frozen but these are way too hard. They should freeze dry them or take them out all together.

Nutrish is one of the few brands that have not been recalled. My dog came from a foster home and was fed with a premium brand that was home delivered. I was told he was a "grazer". I put him on Nutrish soon after I got him, and he just loves it. I mix a little bit of the wet in with the dry.

I was using Pedigree dry food. I wanted to put my dog on a diet but didn't see any diet food I wanted to buy so figured maybe just a better dog food would make a difference. I tried Nutrish when it first came out and my dog wouldn't eat it. Then I accidentally purchased Nutrish Peak (twice the price of the original almost) -- I actually thought I had picked up something else, purchased it and didn't notice til I got home. Turned out my dog absolutely loved the more expensive Nutrish. Amazingly, I have three cats as well and the cats liked the dog's dry food. Wish I could buy both the wet and dry of the Peak, but it's too expensive to buy both.

This is for the small dog breed. My two Chihuahua's love this dry kibble. When I switched from Purina One, I noticed, they gobbled it up, a very noticeable difference in increased activity by the third day. It has real ingredients, no artificial coloring or preservative. It's also less expensive than the other brands for an all natural kibble.

It's the only dog food that Scooby will eat. It keeps him away from the cat food. Scooby likes this food much better than the previous brand of dog food. Scooby used to prefer cat food to his old brand of dog food.

I had fed my dogs IAMS for several years. They got to where they were not interested in eating. I tried Nutrish and they LOVE it! I am so happy that I found it! I feel like I am getting a lot of bang for my buck!

I like feeding this to my dogs because it doesn’t contain any fillers or unnatural ingredients and it’s fairly priced (usually purchase at Walmart). If this isn’t available I will purchase other brands that are wheat and soy free.

I like the grain free one. It is available at grocery stores, which is so convenient. The ingredients are easy to understand. My dog is very sensitive, and will start scratching its fur when given other high end dog food at pet stores. This line also has amazing treats that he loves as well.

The price and quality are good. Tried other brands but my dog would not eat them and some of them she would spit out some of the bits she did not like. Just because a food is more expensive doesn't mean it's better.

This brand makes their food and treats to human standards, meaning we humans can eat it safely if we choose to do so. There's no artificial colors or preservatives and they are literally gobbled up by my baby boy and he's the picky type.

All three dogs in our household, two of them picky eaters, will eat this. The third one eats anything and everything but does seem to eat this food a little faster than most things. Several other dog owners I know whose dogs have tried this agree that their dogs find Nutrish especially tasty. I did a lot of research on the health value of Rachael Ray's dog food. Seems to be about average quality. Her Zero Grain seems to be the only one above average.

This made both our very healthy dogs VERY sick! Seizures and major hair loss. This happened after feeding this food for about 2 months. Don't use this! We thought we were losing our babies. They were that sick!!

My great danes love this food! I’ve tried a lot of others but Rachael Ray Nutrish is their favorite and it helps a good cause as well.

My dog is doing better on the Rachael Ray Beef food. But will soon discontinue using this food due to RR being bought by Smucker's. People are standing up to companies using toxic rendered waste, euthanized cats & dogs & imported toxic ingredients. I will start making my dogs & cats human grace food.

One of the few dog foods that we found That the dogs really like and so far after using for over a year They have had no skin problems or digestive problems.

We are currently using Rachael Ray Nutrish and our Labrador Retriever loves it. We were having a hard time getting her Taste of the Wild in the flavor she liked. The larger bags were only carried by Country Max and they couldn't keep it in stock. We had to special order, and they wouldn't get it in for several days.

My dog wouldn't touch the Rachael Ray dog food. Expensive mail order dog food and Jewel did not like it. Even though it's supposed to be healthy with natural nutrients. No good for Jewel.

I got great coupons for Rachael Ray Zero, and my dogs like it. Zero grain important as my dogs seem to have skin problems when fed food with corn. Size good for my little one, and can crunch too.
