Changed Suppliers to China and dog won't eat anymore
593162
About a month ago I would have given this stuff 5 stars.  Our pup had digestive issues and tried a bunch of different food and finally found this one worked wonders.  Last bag we ordered suddenly it was a fight to get our dog to eat.  Did that for a few days thinking maybe she just wasn't feeling good.  But since it continued I started looking online and found that they changed their suppliers for certain ingredients to China after they were purchased.  Started her on Wellness Simple and she eats with no issues.

Be warned this is not the same as it used to be and if my dog won't eat it, I don't want to know whats in it.

Had used this product in the past with no problems. This last batch made all 3 of my dogs sick, vomiting, blood in stools, coughing. After several days they recovered thankfully. Ill never buy pet food from China again.

Made in China. If the Chinese poison baby food what will they do with dog food. In the trash.

Dogswell was a great food for my allergic dog UNTIL they changed the LAMB formula without notifying us. Last batch of food, our dog was all of sudden scratching his ears  and licking his paws with yeast buildup. Turns out they have now added CHICKEN FAT to the formula. Our dog is highly allergic to anything chicken. Returning the bag recently ordered and will not be ordering DOGSWELL again. Can't trust them!!!

Both my dogs have been on this brand  for two years and seem to like it! However one of my dogs sometimes gets gas from it when i open a new bag. I think quality control is an issue at manufacturer when they make the batches and bag it. Both my dogs had severe diarrhea for two weeks and i did process of elimination to figure out what was making them sick. The last thing i was thinking was that it could be the dry dog food. So that was my last process of elimination! Welp that was the problem!  I found that the bag i purchased with expiration date of 06/22/2017 was a bad batch. Yes i am 100% certain of this. Both dogs were sick and now that i purchased a another bag with (different expiration date of course), they are back to normal. I should have known it was the dry dog food as one of my dogs wouldn't eat all the food and she never does that. Always listen to your dogs! I am looking into a different brand since i do feel there is obviously no quality control at the manufacturer. My post is only referring to Lamb Meal and Rice formula.

I ordered a nearly $50 bag of dog food and instead got a 25lb. bag of organic baking flour which I have zero use for. I tried contacting the seller and 5 days later have not heard back, so it looks like Im going to have to haul this big box to return it. I also had to run out to the store and pay more for the dog food I had ordered because I had run out. So Ive learned my lesson, I will not buy from a non-prime seller again, least of all this one, online_trader. I love this dog food though, its done wonders for my dog who has had many skin/fur issues but its generally very expensive.

PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Hound and Gatos recently changed their formula without any warning to their long time customers.  It took me a bit to realize the change.  In the mean time my poor dog despite us adding more and more calories just kept loosing weight.  Thousands of dollars on vet bills and tests couldn't explain why, and she was slowly starving to death!  Finally my vet suggested changing foods and even though the new food had LESS calories, she immediately started gaining weight back.  Way to ruin a great food Hound and Gatos!  So disappointed!

Great quality and my dog loves it.

UPDATE: My dogs got sick off of Blue Buffalo dog food. The company took zero accountability. My 3 dogs plus another dog at my vet clinic had to be put on IV fluids and had blood coming out of both ends after a contaminated bag of dog food. Research this company as it is not as great as I once thought. There are many recalls and class action law suits against them. Buyer beware.

We have been using this food for our two healthy dogs for couple years now and loved it so far. However the last batch we received seemed to be bad and caused our dogs to have severe diarrhea. We had our dogs get de-wormed and tested them out for everything but it still continued with this food. We eventually narrowed it to the new bag of food. I have attached a picture of the "bad kibble" on the left and the "good kibble" from before. There were other buyers who had posted similar reviews (look for the One star review called: "Get it Locally......Do Not Buy from Amazon." and the comments in that review.

Amazon was able to refund the purchase but there needs to be better quality control on this food.

Amazon told me they would send out a new bag. I was contacted twice (email - with no reply email bounced back) regarding this and was happy they were replacing the bag. I was in the USA on holidays and was taking the food home with me but they sent a replacement after I was back in Canada. The old food was contaminated and thrown in the garbage in Michigan. Now I am home in Canada and I am being told to ship the old kibble back. Not happy at all as it is gone in the garbage. They apparently sent the other bag to my relatives and are charging my visa for it.  Not happy at all! Huge RIP off..

IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO NOT LABEL THAT THESE ARE MADE IN CHINA. Here I am trying to do something nice for my dog, only to find out that I poisoned him. This just makes me so sick and angry!!!!!!

We've used the 'Basics' food for years with no issues.  Been buying from Amazon for awhile, and it's been fine.  Last bag we got seems to be tainted - one dog absolutely refused to eat and the other has been throwing it up half the time and had bead

Tuesday May 20, 2014 FDA Update: 1,000+ Dog deaths potentially linked to jerky treats - includes Waggin' Train

[...]

"...internal documents obtained by msnbc.com earlier this year indicate that they include the following: Waggin Train or Canyon Creek Ranch jerky treats or tenders, both produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co., and Milos Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced by the Del Monte Corp."

CNN/TV has been talking about this as well (on 5/20/14). I bought these treats a while ago and my dogs just finished the bag yesterday BEFORE I heard about this story while CNN was on in the background today. I Googled this issue and there is a HISTORY of these treats with the same problem from a previous year.  I am horrified. I can't believe a company would have a history of the same problem and not fix the issue. I read the company's replies on Amazon that this problem was resolved, yet it is on the news AGAIN today May 20, 2014. I am now going to stop buying ALL Purina products for my dogs, including their dog food. If they have this issue on treats, probably the same lack of care and greed via buying cheap products to sell to pet owners is applied to all of their products (unless Purina has different corporate quality policies between each product line team).  I could see if this was an isolated case that occurred one time, but twice? And China? Seriously? How come the bag, which I have right in front of me now, doesn't say ANYTHING about China? Obviously if 'China' was on the bag people probably wouldn't buy it...  Google Chinese lead poisoning toys, Chinese drywall, etc. and you will see why. What if these treats cause long term health problems that don't appear immediately? I'm am shocked and ashamed of Purina. I am going to research another product line for dog food and treats and see if I can find where their products are made.

Since years we use Taste of the wild for our cats and for our dogs and we were very happy yet. But now we wanted trying the pacific food for our dogs - puppy and adult and both dogs got bad diarrhea - we had to stop feeding them immediately. This can happen.....BUT I tried few times contact the seller, have two big opened bags now and wanted to return BECAUSE I ordered another Taste of the Wild Food immediately what we had before. So - no answer, no reaction ...... and as a customer since two years I do not like this kind of 'treatment' and therefore I can just give two stars - bad experience. I am trying finding another food for our dogs and cats now.....

I have bought these at local stores for a couple years, and my dog loves the taste. However, these that I ordered through amazon are made in Vietnam, and my little dog has thrown up several times after eating them. Something in the ones made in Vietnam made him sick. I didn't start using this bag until after the return window closed on my order, so I am a very, very unhappy amazon customer.

I'd seen some reviews saying the treats were old but I'd had good luck -- that ran out with this last shipment.  They were obviously old, meat darkened and extremely hard, and my dog became sick.  I can't seem to find these treats any longer that aren't either made in China or of inconsistent quality or both.  My dog will have to adjust to not getting her favorite treat -- I feel they're getting too risky.

Starmark makes versions of this product in the USA and in China. I only trust dog food items made in the USA (as you should too) due to the poor health regulations and relaxed standards in the disgusting Chinese factories which have been linked to causing numerous dog/cat deaths. Treat your dog like your family member and don't risk giving them any food product made in China, including treats. Regardless, my 6 month old labrador loves these in his bento ball.
