Should I switch my puppy off Rachel Ray Nutrish due to heart concerns?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Rough Collie | Male | neutered | 6 months old | 32.2 lbs

I've been feeding Trusty Rachel Ray Nutrish puppy since he was 10 weeks old. Over the last two weeks I started adding Rachel Ray Nutrish dog food to his puppy food. Now I see that Rachel Ray Nutrish has been reported causing heart disease, what should I change Trusty's food to and how soon do I need to change it?

Good on you for doing this! Trusty needs a puppy formulated food still, and brands I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I personally feed my dogs Iams and they love it. Start the switch now, and do it slowly to avoid GI upset. Best of luck.
