We're trying to figure it out," Koontz said. He emphasized that the number of reports concerning dry food consumed by pets that became sick was not alarming.   That link just took me to the wrong page .. opps sorry it should work now 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Raja19 Posted : 3/29/2007 5:25:21 PM Is it just the Nutro Max that they are suspecting? Shadow, and Muffin eat Nutro Natural Choice, and Muffin has always thrown up randomly yellow bile since she has been on it which is her whole life.   Other then that the dogs are acting fine. Raja and Lacey are on CS. But the others are my moms dogs and so far they haven't been sick 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 3/29/2007 5:43:01 PM I am still feeding Nutro Large Breed Adult Lamb Meal and Rice and we're still doing fine. Of course, his food has no wheat in it. One meat source, one grain.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tashakota Posted : 3/29/2007 5:44:44 PM Our dogs eat the Nutro Natural Choice as well.  They have vomited yellow bile randomly before and I thought it might be a worm or bug of some kind that was not caught by their Interceptor.  So I had the vet give me a dewormer for them last year and they all ceased to vomit for some time.  Pepper has begun to do so again, as has Shadow.  The other two have not. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 3/29/2007 5:44:54 PM I'm pretty sure Nutro manufactures their own kibble   All of Nutro's dry kibble in a bag, biscuits, and baked treats are made exclusively by Nutro at the original plant in California and their other plant in Tennessee.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Myra Posted : 3/29/2007 6:57:17 PM I stopped feeding Nutro Natural Choice years ago because my dogs always vomited bile during the early morning hours while eating it (they've never done that on any other food). 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sooner Posted : 3/29/2007 8:01:56 PM I have one dog on dry Natural Choice. He was 30 lbs through a 40 lb bag when the recall was announced and now it's almost gone. No problems. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willowchow Posted : 3/29/2007 9:53:47 PM Also, it's important to note that vomiting bile is very common in dogs that haven't eaten in awhile.  I guess I'm not understanding why people are connecting vomiting bile with the food having a problem.  I could see if the dog was actually vomiting food, well that's another thing, but bile? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

My mom actually thinks it was NOT the Nutro that made Muffin vomit bile but the fact that whenever she did vomit she had always not eaten for a while.   For instance, Muffin would womit at around 12pm on...say.. a tuesday. But she hadn't ate breakfast yet because she was not hungry so the last time she ate was around 6 on Monday... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Jilly's Virtuos Posted : 3/30/2007 2:41:53 AM I was feeding nutro max and my dog is vomiting! And they got recalls... even the cat food! I thought it's natrual and great for them! But boy I'm wrong! [&o] I geuss even science diet has something too? But I'd say we all should throw them out of buissness! They are just putting different wrappers (some expensive but it's all th same!!) form canada on junk they throw together and call dog FOOD. Let's go w/ pedigree u can get anywhere or something made in the united states and one that has comertails!! I also still believe that pedigree one is the Same as normal pedigree and they are just getting more money![] I can't beliave this I think they are trying to acually go for killing the WHOLE dog population! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ron2 Posted : 3/30/2007 4:41:45 AM Yes, but people love to crap on Nutro. So, right now, it's a free-for-all, thanks to the supposed email of another member on another board, 2nd or 3rd hand.   I should start a thread for those of us who have had problems with Innova.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chelsea_b Posted : 3/30/2007 11:10:02 AM I guess I'm not understanding why people are connecting vomiting bile with the food having a problem. I could see if the dog was actually vomiting food, well that's another thing, but bile?   I agree. I could easily blame the fact that Cherokee used to vomit bile daily on the Science Diet I fed her. And actually it WAS the Science Diet, but not because anything was wrong with it, but because she wouldn't EAT it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
