Subject: Nutro Natural Choice/Chicken, Oatmeal and Rice Caused Vomiting

I was approached by a Nutro specialist while shopping in the dog food section of Petsmart. I normally feed my 6 month puppy Purina since that is what his local breeder recommended and the "specialist" stated that was the lowest quality food and to give my pup a healthier coat, I should use the Nutro Natural Choice Puppy product. I was persuaded and started my pup on the new food gradually. I made sure to mix small amounts of the old Purina food with the new Nutro food. By the 4th day, he started vomiting morning and evening. I thougt I may have given him too much of the new Nutro food so I gave it to him for one more day to see if he would get used to it. Nope! There was still vomiting. I decided to check online and I'm so glad I did! There has been many complaints on the consumer affairs website. I was so upset, I returned to the Petsmart store and told them my dog is vomiting from the food and to check online since there has been many complaints. They told me they haven't heard any complaints. There was another Nutro specialist working and I told him that the food made my dog vomit. He said that Nutro is in the process of switching suppliers from out of China and changing their rice supplier so there has been changes to correct this. WHAT!!! Why is the old stuff still being sold then? I also noticed there has been recalls on this same company last year. I was so fortunate to catch this early! I switched back to Purina and he hasn't thrown up since. Please let everyone know. I have read sad stories of other dogs that had worse reactions to the food some involving death and I surely hope they pull this contaminated food off the shelves.
