HELP! My 2 yr old standard Fox Terrier just died suddenly and i am suspecting his dog food. He was in perfect health. But i noticed that he was slowly starting to slow down and lacked energy and he went from eating well to just picking at his food. But he was gaining weight.hmm. Then one Friday evening- one month ago, we had an event that lasted 2 days– back and forth to the Vet. He died suddenly on Sunday!! His symptoms were strange. One of the things he had was liver failure. the ONLY food i have ever fed him was Nature Organic Chicken Formula that i purchased from Petsmart. Does anyone have any info? Please please someone help me? I am devastated…I know that the other posts on this site are about 1 yr old. I am hoping someone will read my post and help me. You can write to me directly at MetalGddess@aol.com Thanks!!

The Brandon Farms web site may not be working, but this URL will take you to the web site for the exact same product but a different brand name.

My Beagle seems to be eating this dog food much more eagerly than she’d eat ProPlan . I do agree with the earlier post, however, that there’s no assurance that the fish meal and chicken meal is not from China.

I have much faith in this product. And it’s not THAT much more expensive.

I heard that Chicken Soup for the Pet lovers was suspect! Does anyone know of any postings to validate this???

I have two adult cats, previously fed exclusively with Iams dry food until Sophie developed acute diabetes. She was aggressively treated for 3 months and reverted to a normal state. This process involved converting to all high-quality wet food diet only, with aggressive glucose monitoring and high-dose insulin injections. (It was hell but we got through it.) The vet who developed these theories and treatment recommended only Iams or Fancy Feast wet food. Both cats got Iams wet food and sometimes Fancy Feast. They rarely but sometimes received the flaked fish variety of Iam’s which was recalled. Michael has gained weight like mad, loves the wet stuff and is always wanting more. Sophie became more and more finicky about flavors, and has lost some significant weight (but needed to.)
She has been throwing up very frequently, but since switching to Brandon Farms organic wet, she is fine and loves this food. (It ain’t cheap!)

I researched Brandon Farms, www.brandonfarmspetfoods.com, the new pet food sold at Krogers. The parent company is Blue Seal. Blue Seal canned goods are made at Menu. The Brandon Farms site says they use wheat gluten only from a Michigan supplier. They do not use rice gluten concentrate. However they do not make reference to corn gluten which is in their other Blue Seal brand list of ingredients.

I have been giving my cats Brandon Farms dry which has no grains. They eat a bit of it along with meat I prepare which they prefer. One has stopped throwing up. They other two have kept most food down. Only one is still losing hair.

While the Brandon Farms dry is organic, it uses fish and chicken meal. I sure hope that isn’t from China.

I have learned sadly that most big companies will tell you only part of the truth. I am trusting Brandon Farms for now. However I stopped using their canned cat food because the cans were magnetized and gave a highly metallic smell to the food, which cats wouldn’t eat anyway.

I never saw anything like that before. The cans would stick together lightly. You could feel the magnetic pull when you separated them.

Best wishes to everyone. Thank you for sharing all your information.

I am sticking to this site in case for information and recommendations

DOG - I have been feeding my dog Evanger’s since this whole miserable mess started. He loves it. I am going to try him on the Timberwolf dry.
CAT - I have done some research and have discovered if you stick to the original fancy fest - not the marinated,roadsted, broasted, grilled etc - they look fairly safe.
I am very fortunate in that my 2 babies have such hyper sensitive stomachs that they tossed the bad stuff - of course a week later I found out why.
My deepest sympathy to all who have lost loved ones.

I have been searching and searching for a canned food that does not contain wheat, rice or corn glutens or concentrated proteins/flours. What I had been feeding (this week) has rice flour in it and while I know that brand has not been recalled, I’m still nervous.

Anyhow, I think I finally found a canned food that has no flours or glutens. The ingrediant list is: “Chicken, turkey, chicken broth, duck, salmon, chicken liver, whole grain brown rice, white rice, oatmeal, carrots, peas, potatoes, barley, egg product, guar gum, flaxseed meal, kelp, apples, dried skim milk, cranberry powder, rosemary extract, parsley flake, dried chicory root, carrageenan gum, vitamin A acetate, vitamin D3 supplement, ascorbic acid, niacin supplement, calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, thiamine mononitrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, vitamin B12 ….” etc. Its called Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul. Just thought I’d share the info … see if anyone knows anything or has heard anything about that company. It appears they are owned by the same parent company as Natural Balance, but not the same products.

I think it’s time some new regulations/ Laws are put in place, NOW.
I bet they would be if they lost a pet. And Why in the hell are those companys bying food products from China anyway?
It’s time for a change how the law reconizes our pets as property and not as a family member, I know mine our.

Thanks Teric, I”ll give it a try…If you have some treat recipes you could share that would be great. My dog is so fussy she really don’t like to much. She’s not a vegetable eater, My Vet did tell me to put green beens in with her food, as it tends to fill them up faster and it’s good for them too.
I bought new dog food and it’s like 1.49 a can , she sniffs it and walks away from it. I throw almost all her food away cuz she don’t like it. THE DRY FOOD IS FIT & TRIM…SHE HATES IT.
YESTERDAY I MADE FOR HER… roasted pork,green beans and some cheese ….she eat all that up as quick as she could . I’M just worried about the dry food that she needs, she can’t only have soaf food not good for her teeth. You know how to make dry hard dog food ????
anyways, thanks so much TERIC..FOR YOUR HELP. AND YES I’LL CHECK WITH MY VET FOR VITAMINS!

Chris,

I have made up something that my pups love but you will need a good vitamin supplement. Check with your vet first to make sure it’s ok for yours before feeding it and ask about a good vitamin for them.

3 boneless/skinless chicken breasts (or 1 lb ground chicken)
2 cups Organic Oatmeal
Fresh Boiled Carrots - Green Beans - Potatoes (about 2 cups of each)
1 cup cottage cheese
Put it all in a food processor or mash it up together well.
Freeze what you wont be using over the next 2 days.

I also made some treats by rolling it in little balls and baking them. Mine love it. I actually kinda liked them myself.

Again, please check w/ your vet first.
