Years ago when I had my Maltese's and before I knew about the difference in dog foods, I had fed Purina One to them for years. They were healthy dogs even though they were from PMs and had pearly white teeth all of their lives After years of them being on it, Purina decided to add something that was suppose to keep their teeth clean and prevent tooth decay. For two days of feeding it before I realized it was the food, both had thrown up blood and passed out blood in their stool and urine. The vet at the time told me just to feed them chicken and rice for a couple of days, and they improved and no further side effects happened, so they went back onto the Purina again and immediately started to throw up blood. That was when I realized it was the food. I switched their food and all was well within two days.
You never know when any of these companies will change or add something to their food. I think it is always going to be risky feeding any dog any brand of kibble.

Natura had a recall this year. I had bought California Natural by Natura for Mickey and Minnie. Glad I bought it before the recall and the serial number wasn't one on the list I saw. My 2 didn't get sick but right after it was finished, I switched to Nutri Source. No recalls for it yet. Both love the food. \ \ /\ Alice ( ) whiterabbi...@gmail.com .( ).
