FYI, Nutro recently got bought out by the mars candy company, their formulas are changing.
BB is a great food, and I really think you need to think about what you write before you post it.
If you think yous animal died from BB you need to examine what CAUSED the death. Blaming BB is very nebulous, it doesn’t pinpoint an ingredient, or rule out that your animal may have ingested something else, or had an allergy that you were not aware of.
Allergys are very common in animals these days, because we have been poorly informed and feeding them things that deteriorate their digestive and immune systems, and so the kittens and puppies they have are not as resilient as they should be.
Pinpoint a source, like “the corn in (insert pet food) caused my dog pancreatitis.”
Read the ingredients, there isn’t anything that would cause death (excluding that your animal may have an allergy).
You ought to do a little more research as to what REALLY caused your animal to die.

[…] signs of kidney failure. Eventually they learned that Sushi’s new owner was feeding Sushi Spa Select kitten dry food which was recalled on April 19th. Lab results confirmed that there was melamine in Sushi’s […]

BLUE BUFFALO DOES NOT USE RICE PROTEIN. ANI ADDED RICE PROTEING TO BLUE BUFFALO’S FOOD WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE. IF IT WASN’T FOR THE FDA STORMING THE BUILDING AND CONFISCATING THEIR RECORDS, THE INFORMATION WOULD NEVER HAVE COME FORTH. THEREFORE BLUE BUFFALO DECIDED TO VOLUNTARILY PULL ALL FOOD THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN COMPRIMISED SIMPLY FOR THE FACT THAT THEY COULDN’T TRUST ANI.

i just want to say just feed dry foods not wet. pedigree has not had no can food recalled. their dry food does have corn gluiten in it but it has not been recalled. i have 3 boxers 2 shizys.the last 2 days i have cooked for them untill i can figure something out to feed them.today i got bb adult holistic fish and potatoes.dry food of course. i went with this becouse every ingrediant sounds natural no crap or glutin corn or anything like that.petsmart said that would be the best way to go. but nobody nos.i seen people buying iams can and pedigree.i would not buy no can.we did feed purina one dry but i stoped after the recall becouse it has a gluiten.but today it was the goodlife or blue buffalo.and i made my choice becouse goodlife has no recalls but a gluiten and im not takeing no chance with that word.or go to petsmart.com only,and buy by nature all organic dog food 30 bucks for a 16lb. bag but probualy worth it.i wish myself and everyone else the best of luck.

Ok, I just backed up and read Kevin Wells mini book and ah….WHAT… didnt Blue Buffalo claim in their own press release that they dont use rice protien concentrate in their products and that the ANI added it without concent??

BB does not use rice protien!! It was allegedly used without their permission. Don’t get me all worked up…. I feed their product to my cat.

I had two cats, my “kids” rather… switched to Blue Buffalo because of recall. Within 3 days of feeding this food, after emergency care; huge vet bills, and many tears - we lost one, and our 8 month old sphynx kitten made it through. It’s been a tough ride for our family, and a tougher ride for our kitten, who will now live a life that entails care for that of a kidney failure patient. This could have been prevented. –

AAFCO should be doing something about this! They have the power to regulate. The FDA may not be able to, but that is the reason AAFCO is in place. They need to be regulating what and where it comes from. I now have heard our pork may be contaminated because farmers were feeding some of the recalled dog food to them.

I am upset about this recall, but I respect the companies that recalled their food before it was even tested and didn’t waste any time! I feed Nutro dry dog food and it is made in Lebanon TN, and in California. There is corn gluten in some of their dry food, but not all of the brands. They manufacture their own dry foods, but not any of their wet. I am glad that they recalled their food asap! I can’t believe BB waited so long. They were taking advantage of all of the scared pet owners and didn’t even think about their food being contaminated. How dare they say they do not know what goes into their food? If they are not checking it then they shouldn’t be selling it!

Is there any HONEST manufacturers of pet food out there? I’ve been feeding Blue Buffalo Spa Select and Natural Balance to my cat. Now Natural Balance Ocean Fish Formula canned food has been recalled. And Blue Buffalo is recalling all of theirs voluntarily. I have about 24 cans of Blue Buffalo Spa Select and about 10 Natural Balance that I need to take back now for refund.

These companies need to start producing their own food, and make it RIGHT HERE in USA from DOMESTIC food sources. None of this importing.

If any ingredient was imported to make the pet food, the pet food should be labeled with the country of origin. It should not say Made In USA at all on it.

Now I read that Mikie above is from Blue Buffalo and is claiming they are sorry for the recall. How do we know Mikie is from Blue Buffalo in first place? I don’t know who to believe any more about this whole recall situation.

I had both my dogs tested for kidney function and they also both had CBCs. They have been eating canned Blue Buff and the Blue Buff treats, along with their dry food. The results came in this morning-Their kidney function is perfect and their CBCs came back perfectly normal. Hope this will put some minds at ease.
