They were one of three companies with lamb based products that were implicated in causing dilated cardiomyopathy. Lamb is intrinsically deficient in taurine and it needs to be supplemented in any lamb based diet. You can tell by looking at the ingredient panel and finding taurine listed as a separate ingredient. 3 Nutro Natural Choice products, Nature's Recipe and Sensible Choice (I think it was Sensible Choice) were all reported as having deficient levels of taurine in a 2003 published report from UC Davis. The ctual study was donein 1999, but publication was 3 years later. At that time I looked at the labels and Nutro had changed only 1 of the foods implicated and the other two companies had made no changes at all. Nutro had changed the Nutro Natural Choice LM&R food but had not yet changed the Lite product and one other food they produced that was implicated. Most companies made changes in the late 90's when the issue first came up. |

The allergist recommended Neutro Natural Choice as an alternative to a prescription diet. Thanks, We will look into that one also. jw |

He had someone at PetSmart recommend the Natures Recipe. He asked me and I said I'd ask here. Any other food you might recommend. jw Since Steve Crane works for Hill's, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to recommend some Science Diet, eh Steve? LOL Personally, I tried Science Diet products on my pets in the past, but it seemed to make their skin dry and they had vomiting problems from it. I have cats but my sister has dogs and she had the same experience. Who knows, maybe they've hopefully changed their formula. I guess if Nature's Recipe can, maybe Hill's can too? |

That is not agreeing with her stomach occasionally and she has some skin flaking. My dog (her brother) is on Science Diet Puppy also. He has a nice coat and soft skin and no stomach problems. jw |

Ooh boy, the hypocrisy. For the record, Lauren is a infamous Hill's Hater from way back. Lauren, don't be so coy. I'll bring everyone up to speed.....you once claimed that Science Diet "killed" your cats. Now, you say it created problems for your "pets"? Am I to infer that you mean you fed your dogs Science Diet in the past? If so, you've never mentioned it until now. Hmmm? If you don't have dogs (by your own admission), what's the point in you reading this particular ng? Are you stalking Steve? For you to slyly imply that Science Diet is somehow "bad" when you don't even feed commercial pet foods to your own cats (you feed raw), is quite interesting. Do tell us more! For the record, Steve didn't even recommend Science Diet. Yet here you are, putting words in his mouth (no doubt, so that you can claim he is being "biased") and then claiming that Science Diet is bad when you don't even own a dog. Wonderful. |
