• OPPS would have been nice if I spelled the heading correctly… it is Natura, not Nutura

    Deal completed on June 1, 2010, Natura has been sold to P&G. This effects Innova, EVO, California Natural....

    I expect we will see a big change in the quality of these foods. (IMO)

    As I side note, I have been using Fromm's dry (mixed with other brands) and really like it. I have used the Fromm's gold and Gold Star products


  • I'm sooo disappointed that this sale has happened. Unfortunately, since I don't trust what will happen to the food, I've taken EVO off my list. I recently switched to Instinct and have had great results with that. I wish Fromms was sold locally to have that as an option as well.


  • It's a big corp so of course they'll put somebody in charge to get costs down and make it cheaper to get their bottom line up and increase their return on investment. P&G has so many product lines that it's unfortunate they have to get their hands on dog food too.


  • I'm very disappointed. EVO has been part of our repertoire here.

    I know I can find Orijen around here. I think I'll go grab a couple of bags of EVO today. Nothing will have changed yet, right? :)

    I would think that you are still OK…

    As far as Fromm's, while it is not sold local here either, I just order on line and have it shipped


  • We switched fro EVO to Orijen several months ago and are very happy with it. I do mix in regular Innova, but only about 20% of their food is the Innova. Guess I need to look for an alternative if I notice formula changes.

    Problem is not a formula change, but using cheaper ingredients and from a wide range of suppliers, whoever is cheaper at the time they are buying..again IMO


  • We shouldn't see any major changes for at least 18 months. At least, that is what we experienced as a pet supplies retailer with the Iams/Euk change. I really like the Naure's Variety. I have some fill issues with Fromm and out dated product. Good food just check expiration dates on bags


  • I also have issue with Fromm being sold in Petland (where they sell puppies and kittens). I had done a search to find a local distributor and found out it was Petland then did some more searching and found several Petland locations that carry Fromm.


  • :)I feed my pets Dynamite dog food. It is of much higher quality than stuff you can get at the pet store. It costs a little more but you aren't paying for fillers. The company is out of Idaho and carries products for other animals and humans. I am a distributor since my friend hooked me up with horse feed from them about ten years ago and sold me on their products! My pets eat better than I do!

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
