Nutro: questionable practices

Written: Apr 30, 2007 (Updated May 3, 2007)
Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
Pros:Readily available, not too pricey for decent ingredients, higher quality than grocery store brands.
Cons:Not forthcoming with information, not as high-quality as some foods in same price range
The Bottom Line: Do not buy it. If you feed it, take your dogs off it. Support a company that hasn't outgrown itself and actually cares.

We had our Cocker mix on Nutro Max since she came home with us last May, as my boyfriend wanted a decent food that was easy to find. She started a new bag in late February that seemed to be making her throw up bile, and then the pet food recalls began. We took her off it, and she stopped throwing up immediately after we switched her and has been fine since. Nutro has not recalled any dry foods, yet it has changed all its formulas to replace the wheat gluten with corn gluten meal...all without any mention that they used to use wheat gluten. Interesting. Whether or not you believe the food made our dog sick, it should at least raise a red flag that they're changing their formulas so abruptly. I contacted them about that very issue a week ago and they have yet to respond.

**UPDATE: A Nutro representative called and left a message a week after my e-mail and said that no formulas ever contained wheat gluten, but did not answer whether their formulas have changed or not. This earns a modicum of respectability, as they are attempting to address consumer concerns.**

On a strictly objective note, they also split ingredients. For instance, lamb meal may be listed as the first ingredient, but the next three are rice flour, rice bran, and rice protein, and yet another rice ingredient further down the list. Meaning that the food probably has much more rice than lamb, when you combine the rice ingredients, but you are led to believe that there is more lamb (a more expensive, higher-quality protein).
