My gorgeous loving healthy five year old dog was just diagonsed with kidney failure due to food poisoning. This is no ordinary dog. She is the best friend I ever had; The best dog I have ever known. I took her to the vet because she was losing weight. Unlike humans, dogs still produce urine when in renal failure. We do not know if she will live. Or how she will be if she does live. The food was DRY FOOD. Nutromax from Pet Smart. This food is their own brand. Last year, a woman promoting Nutromax as premium, talked me into buying it. I did because the dog was bored with the mail order premium dog food she was eating. Now Pet Smart is not even answering the phone or talking to anyone. They say fax your vet bill. The media has not sufficiently warned. I had no idea. Several weeks ago at the first mention that dry food might be involved I changed back to Flint River Ranch . The damage is already done.
What is being done about this?
Get your dogs to the vet and have them tested!

I am sooo sorry to hear about your dog!! I found this number on the Internet and you may want to call them. It is a lawsuit attorney against the tainted dog foods. 1-800-847-9094. I know there is no amount of $$$ that will ever take the place of a beloved pet, but I would still make these companies pay somehow. I wish you & your's all the best!!!!

I don't know what state your in? But I would check to see where the nearest big animal hospital is at. The local Vets. are not able to treat our dogs sometimes they need more aggressive treatment. I live in Illinois. I took my dog to Northern Illinois University hospital for animals. They have doctors for every part of a dogs body. At one time my dog had four different doctors taking care of her.
So sorry to hear about your best friend. I too know that nothing I mean nothing can or will take the place of your wonderful dog. But I would go to a lawyer and make them pay up the _ _ _!!!
Good Luck with your dog. I will say a prayer for her. God, watches out for all his creatures!!!
