There has been talk about pet illnesses and deaths from Nutro products
over the past 6 months or more but the company has done nothing to
recall any of their products. Recently, Consumer Affairs recently
stated that Nutro Pet Food was under investigation per the FDA, and
then this week, the FDA stated they were not. There seems to be new
news everyday, so we wanted all of our adopters who may be using Nutro
products to be aware and to continue to follow any updated
information. Today, May 4th Nutro did issue a statement that they
were pulling their Greenies line of pet dental chews from supermarkets
and other mass markets only to be sold through veterinary hospitals
and pet specialty retailers per Truman Lewis from Consumer Affairs.com
