I have experienced the same problems! I am so glad I found this site… At least now I know it is the dog food! I never had this problem during the past two years my dogs have been eating this food. However, a few weeks ago I opened a new bag and within hours both dogs had exsplosive diarrhea and vomiting. I put them on a bland diet for several days and reintroduced a newly opened bag
Within 20 minutes they were sick again! Obviously it is the food. My vet confirmed that she has had several complaints of this same nature regarding this food!

I have been feeding my 2 dogs N.R. for 2 years with no problem and all of a sudden after buying a bag of lamb and rice they both got so very sick with diarrhea and throwing up. I switched to chicken and rice the got better a couple of days and started smelling like sulphur burping and passing gas. I feel this is the food and will not feed this to them any more… Something is wrong with this food, and its not being advertised, What are they waiting for dogs to die like the last time there was a food problem with the fillers from china? Beware..

I’ve had both of my dogs on Natures Recipe Easy To Digest Fish and Potato dog food for about 4 months now, and there’s no issues. It’s actually done the complete opposite. Their coats are extremely healthy, they don’t eat as much because it’s very filling, and neither one of them have diarrhea. Maybe you guys are switching them on to this dog food too fast. I only put a handful or two for the first week, the second week I filled about 1/3 of the bowl with the food I was switching them off of, and the rest with the Natures Recipe. Again, I’ve not had any issues. My dogs love this food. I will continue to buy it until they show signs your dogs are showing.

I just wrote a comment to Del Monte who makes Natures Receipe. I’ve been finding very hard sharp pieces of white bone (or something) in the canned food for some time. This morning I found a piece I couldn’t crush between two fingers. My dogs won’t eat it 2 out of 3 times. I just thought they were having an off day. I’m glad I read all these posts. I’ll being going to PetCo on the way home and buying a different food for them.

To the Unknown person that posted on April 18, at 12:24. Did you take the time to read the postings on here? Most of them say that their dog was using the Natures Recipe brand for YEARS. I beleive you didn’t fully read nor understood what you were reading. I have switched my dog Sasha to Science Diet lite with the lowest crude fat. And she is now gaining her weight back and has her energy back as well. And dog food brands do not sell brands of food according to breed of dog. If they did they would not make the money they do to stay in business. But to give you the benefit of the doubt. I will go to Safeway and see if I can find pit bull chow.

i wonder if you people understand that you cannot just throw your dog on any type of dog food. dogs need certain foods and like humans dogs could have an allergicreactions to the dog food. if you look at the ingriedience for nature’s reciple it is actually good stuff for particular breeds. so do your own research before you just go buying whatever then bashing on it because YOUR dog did not respone well. my terriers love the food and there coats are better then ever i switched from beneful (now beneful is some terrible dog food believe it or not).

I have two pitbulls, I have put them on every single food that there is and this on seems to work the best for them! they love it! they havent had any allergic reactions or anything. i would recomend it to only certain types of breeds.

My dog got really sick using this food. She pooped all over the place. And she threw up everyday. She lost a ton of weight. I took her to the vet and paid over 500.00 to find out the problem. And it turns out to be the food that I have had her on for over 6 years. This food should be removed from every store. Shame on you Del Monte for changing a perfectly good natural dog food to this crap that could have killed my dog!

I switched to Nature’s Recipe just in the last week, Fish Meal & Potato, both of my dogs have also had vomiting and diarrhea. Glad I read the posts, I am headed to buy different food today.

I have to agree with Rona’s post on December 6, 2011. I tried this Nature Recipe Senior dry food for the first time yesterday. My dog had an allergic reaction and vomited all night. She also had swelling in the facial area. My dog is 14 years old and has never had a reaction to any food – canned or dry. I’m not sure what ingredient caused her to become so sick but I’m returning it to Petco for a refund.
