Subject: Hindsight and Too Late

I'm disheartened after reading the articles on this site. I fed my Lil' Min Pin "Natural Choice Lamb Meal and Rice Formula" all 7 years of his life. Just bought a 40lb bag within the last month and all was fine until one day he would not eat his food anymore. When I gave him a treat, he loved it and I "thought" he was spoiled and just wanted the treats more. Then all the sudden he didn't even want his treats and I knew something was up. He started drinking lots of water and urinating excessively. Took him to the Vet that very day hoping to find out it was just a virus, he'd be given antibiotics all would be fine. Boy was I so FAR from reality. Blood work showed his Creatinine and BUN to be elevated nearly double. Vet said he was in renal failure. Just 5 months ago when I took him in for his shots, complete blood work was done and all was perfectly normal. So how within 5 months could the little feller be in renal failure. Vet said he was young for this and could only guess it was hereditary or he'd gotten into something at home. I searched the house over and found nothing out of the ordinary except for his bowl of Natural Choice Lamb Meal and Rice Formula sitting in his bowl untouched. Never once did I think it was this food. Hindsight, I feel like a fool. I had to put him down last Saturday and I can't recall going through anything as difficult as that was. Now I realize he could sense something was wrong with the food and I didn't catch on until it was too late. I just don't understand why all the sudden this mess is happening to our animals. What cruel people there are in the world and it seems to be all about money, money, money!

Hindsight is....remembering our dogs are smart and if they're doing something out of the ordinary...they're probably telling us something best way they know how.

My cousin lost two of her dogs from food, called the company that put out her brand of Diamond Dog Food and they swore up and down their food had no problems. Her dogs died and shortly thereafter...what happened...the very food she inquired about was recalled!
