According to the FDA, the brands that were named most frequently in reports submitted to the FDA as of April 30, 2019, include: Acana (67), Zignature (64), Taste of the Wild (53), 4Health (32), Earthborn Holistic (32), Blue Buffalo (31), Nature’s Domain (29), Fromm (24), Merrick (16), California Natural (15), Natural Balance (15), Orijen (12), Nature’s Variety (11), NutriSource (10), Nutro (10) and Rachael Ray Nutrish (10). These include both grain-free and grain-containing diets in all forms: kibble, canned, raw and home-cooked. The FDA is asking pet owners and veterinarians to report any cases of canine heart disease. FDA officials say the nature of a possible connection between the dog foods listed and canine dilated cardiomyopathy has not yet been determined, so none of the foods have been recalled. “We have shared case report information with these firms so they can make informed decisions about the marketing and formulation of their products. We are also sharing this information with the public, but encourage pet owners to work with their veterinarians, who may consult with a board-certified veterinary nutritionist, prior to making diet changes,” the FDA website says.
