Dog is vomiting after eating Rachel Ray zero grain food. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Sussex Spaniel | Male | unneutered | 35 lbs

I own a 4 yr old Sussex Spaniel who has been vomiting, lethargic and wont eat but will drink water which allows him to urinate. We noticed these symptoms after he ate Rachel Ray zero grain food along with our small Chi. She also threw up but only for a day or so, she only ate a small portion of the food as she prefers the kitten kibble we give to our kitten. I have contacted the manufacture of the food who sent me a kit to have the food returned for testing. This dog hasnt ever been sick.

I'm sorry Bane has been so sick! It sounds like the Rachel Ray food you gave him may be the cause of this vomiting, as a sudden change in diet can cause these symptoms. The food itself could be causing the symptoms as well. Given that he is still vomiting and won't eat, it's best that Bane is seen by a vet right away. He may need anti-nausea medication to stop the vomiting, which the vet can give him. In addition, because both your dogs experienced vomiting from that food, I would not feed it to them any more. I personally never recommend feeding dogs grain free food unless they have allergies. Dogs do need grains, they are beneficial to their health. I recommend feeding Royal Canin, Hill's Science diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams.
