That said, I think you could find a bunch of complaints on any food out there, not just Nutro.
NONE of the complaints can actually state the FOOD did it ... My dog nearly dies from a bug bite but I am not off telling the world how bad bugs areOriginally Posted by GidgetCat
Sure, you could find complaints about nearly every food, but how many of them would be this severe? Nearly everyone of those had pets get severely sick or die after eating Nutro. Wellness gave my cats gas at first and Kumpi gave my dog a rash, but neither killed them. At the beginning of the recalls we switched to Nutro (dry) for a couple of days, and within the week all my cats were at the vet with elevated kidney values. What are being posted on Consumer Affairs are more than simple complaints.
Let me ask you this, if one hundred people "complained" that their children ended up in the ER or died after eating a certain brand of popsicles, would you feed your child those popsicles? Based on the logic of "you could find a bunch of complaints on any food," I guess you would.

THOU I do beleive food is medicine ...yet many foods have come close to killing me not cause they were bad but they and my immune system didnt like one another
My point exactly. It's very easy to find lots of information on the internet but let's not be gullible and believe everything we see. That's exactly what those comments are so we should all be very wary of repeating what may well be misinformation and open one up to lawsuits.Originally Posted by darlili
Personally, I'd be a little more impressed by the web site quoted by the OP if it were a .org or .gov site - or even if a vet or feline nutritionist were named specifically, rather than a bunch of untraceable anecdotal comments. I always consider what agenda might be in place for a given site, and what sort of verifiable evidence is provided by that site.
For what it's worth, I've fed my cats Nutro for two years - through the recall - no problems. And, as I understand it, Nutro actually has nutritionists in its employ - and seemed pretty darn vehement about ensuring standards were heightened and strictly enforced after the actions perpetrated by Menu Foods on its business partners.
