Thank you so much for everybody writing these posts. I live in Atlanta, so not sure that this is just a “western state” issue. I’m not sure if the Nature’s Domain (ND) in the blue bag is specifically causing my dog’s issues or not, but I’m going to stop feeding it to her immediately. I have a 6 year old golden retriever who has been successfully eating ND for 3 or 4 years now. However, towards the end of May, I bought a new bag and for the last month she has had extremely loose stools. Took her to the vet and a check for parasites was negative, no enlarged organs, and blood work showed a couple of different issues (white blood cell count up and something with her liver was off). The vet prescribed an antibiotic and probiotic in case the issue was really a parasite and perhaps the stool test simply didn’t have enough “stool” to measure accurately because it was so diluted. I started to feed her mostly chicken and rice but always including some dog food. Then, as she started to do better (I thought due to the antibiotic), I increased the dog food, reduced the chicken & rice and the diarrhea (and now vomiting) is back with a vengeance. Thankfully somebody at my office had read that Costco has some quality control issues regarding their own dog food. Subsequent research lead me to this forum. I plan to feed her an all “homemade” diet for the next couple of weeks and see how she does. I’ll report back with an update.
