Hey, Mary.
We’re so sorry the food didn’t work out for your pups, but we’re glad they’re doing better and sincerely appreciate you sharing your experiences (we’d also love to hear which brand you switched to).

If your vet actually diagnosed the dogs as having food poisoning, that seems most likely due to a one-off manufacturing issue that resulted in bacterial contamination. That’s certainly not great, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it was the actual recipe that caused the problem.

Also, regarding the reviews, it is important to realize that there’s a strong tendency for owners to leave negative reviews when things go wrong, while owners feel less compelled to share stories when things went well (or they simply go as expected).

Thanks again for sharing! Give your pack some scritches for us!

About 1/3 of the recent reviews are reporting diarrhea and vomiting in their dogs after introducing this food. For some of them, they’d fed their dogs the same food previously with no issues.

I had this problem with my six as well (it didn’t manifest the same all of them) and one of mine wound up at the vet with bloody vomit and diarrhea. Vet called it “Garbage Gut” (food poisoning). He is better now. But this was an instructive experience and I will not feed this food again. I received a refund from Amazon and threw this food out. I’m now feeding another brand and everyone is tolerating it without any drama.

That’s terrible, Denise! We’re so sorry to hear about your pooch passing away.
We hope that your story may help other owners avoid such a tragedy in the future.
We thank you for sharing and wish you the best.

They are an Amazon brand. I opened them for the first time yesterday. The dogs LOVED them. I have a hard time getting Jakob to eat anything and he gobbled this up. I let him have 2 full treats. I went online and ordered more because everyone went so crazy for them so I thought they’d be great to have for training as well.

The salt in these treats killed my Jakob. He’s had a heart murmur for many years. I’m very cautious about what he eats because of sodium. For food, he eats Weruva pouches, they don’t contain any sodium. If he got any people food, it was always salt free. I never would’ve expected dog treats to have salt as the 4th ingredient. That’s a pretty high level.

Eating this salt caused Jakob to accumulate fluid around his heart. He was drowning when we woke up this morning. Had I not fed him these treats yesterday, he’d still be here now. That’s on me, I didn’t check the ingredients. I saw the made in America, no added blah blah blah, and trusted them. Sodium isn’t included in the guaranteed analysis and being the 4th ingredient, I feel that it should be.

I recently started purchasing Wag dog food, it too contains salt. I will not purchase more. I’m very disappointed in Amazon and their products. This is my warning to y’all. I hope no one else loses their baby due to these products.

Oh, and congrats on the puppies!
