This was about 6 years ago and I was told at the time (by my veterinarian) that there had been a certain lot of Nutro Lamb and Rice that had been contaminated and there had been documented cases of this rancid ingredient causing seizures in dogs. My dog was a completely normal and healthy 6 year old retriever... I came home from work one evening, took him outside to play ball and he all of a sudden collapsed and began seizuring. We took him to the Emergency Vet Clinic and we were told that he had had a brain aneurysm. He lived for a few months, but he lost all coordination in his left side including eye sight, hearing, feeling... it was awful. So rather than take the chance again, I felt the need to start feeding my pets something better, so I've gone the natural route.

You're a vet... have you heard anything like this before? What is your opinion on Nutro?
