My husband and I have 2 Pedigree pups. We have a mini schnauzer, Pistol Annie, who is 5 yrs old and 10lbs. She eats Sheba wet food with a little dry food mixed in. I have a Service dog, a 18 month black German Shepherd named Madison. I'm disabled and she is trained to help me with my mobility issues like climb stairs plus if I get stuck on the floor at grocery stores she is there to pull me to a standing position.
Christmas Day my husband and I started feeling feverish. We are both seniors and even though we had had our flu shots we both stated declining fast. I was sicker than my husband, and when he found me early one morning gasping for air he called 911. I was admitted to the hospital with double pnemonia. Three days later he went to the ER and was admitted for the same thing. I was really alarmed by this because he also is a diabetic and has End Stage Renal Disease. He as Dialysis 3 days a week. We have noone to really help us. Our children live out of state so we take care of each other. When I heard he was being admitted to the hospital I knew it was bad because we would never leave our dogs by themselves. I'd been hospitalized for 3 days and really needed to stay longer, but I knew I needed to come home. They gave me more antibiotics and let me go home to my pups.
I saw the Iams Proactive Health Minichunks when it came time for their dinner. I was shocked and very freaked out when they both started vomiting. I'd never seen them sick before. I searched the Internet and called a Vet. I thought they might have caught our sickness. That wasn't the case. It was a mystery.
I had fed them the Iams for 3 days, and each time both had thrown it up. Some vomit was undigested and some was yellow frothy stuff. My Shepherd Madison became dehydrated and couldn't even stand on her own. The Vet said to put her on Pediolyte and suggested because she doesn't want to drink water, that I feed her only Sheeba. I did that plus I poured some Pediolyte in with the wet food. She ate it and got the liquid down to. Within an hour Maddie was up and jumping on the bed with me.
I told my husband all about the 3 days they were really sick. I asked him why he had bought the Iams dry food. He said he was so sick and on his way to the ER, but he couldn't look for their usual brand of food, so he got what he thought would be good enough, IAMS. So after I put them back on their food, NO MORE VOMITING. I have just got to tell you my dogs can not eat your product. I thought they were going to die. Thank God we figured it out when even the Vet couldn't. I'm sure your products aren't bad. My dogs just couldn't handle the sudden change in diet.
I have a half a bag left and I'm donating it to the Rome City Shelter named PAWS.
