• 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?

    Although natural care products / removed URL / for dogs are generally safe, there are still potential risks and side effects to consider. Some dogs may be allergic or sensitive to certain natural ingredients, causing skin irritation or other adverse reactions. Additionally, natural products are not regulated the same way as prescription drugs, so it's important to research the product and manufacturer carefully to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Always follow the product instructions carefully, and start with a small amount to monitor potential reactions. Finally, consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new products, especially if your dog has a preexisting health condition or is taking other medications. Taking these precautions can help ensure the safety and effectiveness of natural care products for your furry friend.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    @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
