A lovely miniature dachshund called Sparky died after his owners changed his food, as he was becoming more and more choosy over food. But shortly afterward, he began vomiting, and ended up, not being able to keep any food down.
Celeste and Bob, Sparky’s owners had to take him to three vets before they found he was suffering from irreversible liver failure, and had to be put to sleep. Then they heard there was a recall on all Nutro dog food, and naturally believe it was the pet food that killed him.
An ingredient from a new supplier is believed to be the cause for the recall. When any company starts using a new supplier, it’s to make improvements to the company, usually to save money.
I don’t believe in giving pets ANY commercial pet food. What doesn’t kill them quickly, is killing them slowly.
In my opinion, if it ain’t fit for humans, it ain’t fit for dogs. Give your dachshund the best food you can, and add years to his or her life (and save on vets’ bills!)
Menu Foods, who make nearly 100 different pet foods have recalled all the possibly contaminated tins and pouches of food, and have listed all products recalled. There are 53 dog foods, and 42 cat foods.
