Wow thanks for sharing this. I've never seen this brand because it's not in my area but how terrible for those pets and their families. I hope none of our members uses that brand.
Wow! There must have been some pretty bad batches of that pet food for some dogs to die of it. Dogs have the most acidic stomachs of all animals. That's why they can get away with eating rotten garbage. The pet food must have been a lot worse than that.
I have never used Go! Natural, but I was feeding my cats Foundations for 2 weeks. Peppurr got diarrhea and an upset tummy. Foundations is a new food that Petcurean just put out!
