It is sickening to read these stories. Our dog is 2 1/2 years old and has eaten Nutro all his life. We recently opened a new bag of food - Nutro Large Breed Adult - and he wouldn't eat it. This is the same type of food he has been eating for the last two years and his appetite has always been healthy but with this food, we just sniffed it and walked away. He only ate a few bites when we hand fed it to him and once ate a bowl, we think out dire hunger. We purchased new food yesterday, Purina One, and his appetite has now returned. Our dog, which is a lab mix, has always had a sensitive stomach and throws up often, once to twice a week. Typically, there's nothing in it but some bile and grass. He also sheds excessively. We assumed both we're just normal traits of his but will now be keeping an extra close eye to see if any changes occur while feeding him the new brand of food. He also recently collasped in our house - we don't believe it was a seizure but he couldn't move his legs for about five minutes. We checked all the recall lists and Purina is not listed on there so we're hoping this will be a better choice for his health. Otherwise, we are considering making our own food for him as well.
