1. Whew! I almost bought Nutro this week.

I had to switch since my Hank is allergic to every damn thing. Luckily I went with Eukanuba "Naturally Wild New Zealand Venison".

2. Thank you for the heads up!

I was feeding a combination of Nutro dry and Wellness wet, but have recently switched to all Wellness. Glad I did. I think Nutro is a red company anyway.

Anyway, here's a kick for the other pet owners.

4. I got this from a vet lab

they do all the testing for local vets here in Austin. (blood work, etc..) I'll find out.

5. Nutro was one of the many brands recalled last year due to melamine contamination

Haven't they cleaned up their act yet?

6. Remember the Lounger who posted about their new cat dying from diarrhea, etc?

I wonder if he/she used Nutro. I can't remember who that was.
