Hi Paula, I’m sorry to hear this happened – it comes as no surprise though given the many reports on APOG about Ivory Coat. I strongly urge you to add a report as well (can be anonymous) – https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/ivory-coat/

Hi Duncan, I’m so sorry to hear this and I hope your dog has fully recovered?

I urge you to add a report on the APOG website which can be anonymous – https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/ivory-coat/

I would also recommend notifying the retailer or Ivory Coat, although I doubt you’ll have much of a response.

Hi Olga, it’s worth adding a report here – https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/ivory-coat/

The other consumer reports suggest similar issues to what you have faced on the brand.

Hi Glenda, firstly I’m very glad the condition of your girl has improved since the switch away from Ivory Coat. I strongly advise you add this information to the APOG website report on Ivory Coat if you haven’t already? https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/ivory-coat/

I have been told many times when I pop into my local pet stock to get my girls probiotics when I talk about ivory coat they aren’t surprised said many issues. Until change in ownership never an issue

Hi Simon, yes unfortunately retailers will say whatever they can to sell their products, and often turn a blind eye to negative consumer reports.

If your dog has reflux, as well as speaking with the vet I would recommended avoiding kibble for at least a few weeks, and assuming the condition improves then selecting a different kibble by a different manufacturer. The best dog food list is probably a good start, and even if you pay a little more for a freeze dried or fresh food diet in the interim it’s probably cheaper than the alternative with your dog getting worse.
