Nutro in the news

Nutro Pet food has been in the news as causing vomiting and diarrhea. There is a list of consumer complaints located here: Consumer Affairs Nutro complaints

There is an article related to the problems experienced here: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/04/pet_food_recalls93.html?imw=Y

This hit close to home, as we had one customer at least already that was in our store last week looking for a safe alternative, since they were feeding Nutro to their pet, and they were having the same reaction. I don't know if there is any permanent damage done by the food, but apparently the vomiting and diarrhea stopped immediately after they quit feeding Nutro to their pet.

We currently feed "Taste Of The Wild" to our dogs. We switched them over from Solid Gold, another great dog food, mostly because they love the taste more than Solid Gold, and Taste Of The Wild is a grain free food. We only carry premium dog foods, and I can't recall any recent issues with anything we do carry, but in case there was a problem with something we sold in our store, I would highly recommend signing up for our newsletter, as we would immediately post an alert for all of our customers. We try and stay on top of everything thats going on.
