Dog food

I still haven't found anything claiming a recall nor an investigation into Nutro.  I am, however, still seeing post claiming dogs getting sick from it.  I would have just ignored all this except I can look back and possible see a problem for mine.  I would put out dry food for the little guys to snack on while I am gone.  They would not eat it.  And a few times when I have set Daisy's food dish down, she has just looked at it then at me.  It would take her longer than normal to eat it.  At lest twice either she or Missy have thrown it up.  And Daisy was always eating grass.  Well, to be on the safe side, I switched to Purina One Venison and Chicken.  Not crazy about some of the ingredients, but the meat is the first ingredient so the food has to be 95% meat.  My little guys love it.  Daisy and Missy have no problems and Daisy almost takes the bowl out of my hands.  And no one has thrown it up.  Jock would always throw up the Nutro kibble if he ate it.  So in view of all this, I am withdrawing my endorsement of Nutro.

I also called Purina to ask where they got their ingredients.  I was told that they buy from the local farms near them.  They do not use processed chicken.  That was a plus since all our processed chicken is now coming from China.  The Environmentalists are right.  Think globally, buy locally.  I also add vegetables to my guys' food.  I will always chop tomatoes or add some spinach or basil. No onions or garlic though.  I have always had the cats on Purina because that is all they will eat.
