Because Nutro also produces cat food. If they are not up to par in one
area, then it is reasonable to expect they may not be up to par in other
areas as well.

The article printed in JAVMA is old news. Beginning in 2001, and
continuing today, all of Nutro's Natural Choice products have been
enriched with added, extra taurine to provide insurance to even the
very small number of dogs that may be predisposed to DCM (less than
0.5%). As you can see by the enclosed chart, Natural Choice Lamb Meal
& Rice contains more taurine than other competitive brands. In fact,
as much as 180% more.


Perhaps you could let us know when you made the changes to Nutro
Natural Choice Senior and Lite? Product still in the stores does not
yet show the addition of taurine to the ingredient label, yet your web
site shows taurine added. Is this a fairly recent change to these two
products?

It's interesting that Nutro mailed out a four page letter to nearly
every vet in the country making similar claims as Tamarra did above.
The interesting part was it was signed by a Cathy Machlik Ph.D. No
veterinarian listed anywhere, and when you do a Google on Dr. Machlik
you find she hasn't published anything. Research from Nutro - Sounds
like a great definition of an oxymoron to me.
