well i’m so sad that i didn’t read these reviews prior to feeding my 2 heelers Baxters chubb from Woolies.
For 2 meals i fed them this chubb after purchasing for the first time, both dogs shitted in the house for the first time, the older being 13 vomited continually like a froth, their diarrhea was shocking and i thought they had been baited until relating it to the food.Immediately i stopped and for a couple of days they ate other Tasmanian brand and their illness and related health issues became better.
This food is poison to all breeds, the bloody disgraceful attitude of woolies even worse, telling me it wasn’t the Baxters is bullshit, i bred and have had dogs for over 50 years do not feed your dogs this brand ever please

We had been giving our two dogs a few spoons of Baxters wet food on top of their Savourlife kibble….. both got very sick! Bloody diarrhea, facial swelling, hives and vomiting!!!

almost $10k later in vet bills and thankfully they seem to be getting better…. So thankful we have pet insurance

I fed my 16mth old am staff the tiniest bit of a Baxter’s dog roll and she’d vomited absolutely everywhere, now I know for sure it was the food.
I’m so saddened to hear that so many pups have lost their lives to this produce!! Bad bad bad stuff!!

In reply to Tui.

Hi Tui, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and it is with great sadness these issues continue to occur with the dogs we love. America needs proper regulation and a recall system, but the powers that be continue to fail us.

I urge you to add a report to the APOG website with as much information as you can give – https://www.apog.com.au/recall-issue-log/woolworths-baxters/

In reply to Pet Food Judge (America). OMG!!! I am in tears, my 7yrs old sharpei x suffered all of the symptoms listed and the vet could not understand or figure out what was happening. Sore hard bloated belly Friday night, Saturday morning paralysed from the belly down. Sunday dazed staring off into space unable to control bladder or bowel due to paralysation and organs starting to shut down hence me having to make the hardest decision to let my girl go. I have struggled with the grief of losing her so suddenly without any idea why and now it makes so much sense.11 months wondering and now I finally have answers. To read so many dogs have suffered the same fate is heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone who have lost their beloved pet in the same way

Lost my Aussie bulldog the night before my daughter’s 6th birthday. Bought these biscuits in that same week. I threw them in the bin as I thought they were the reason. Healthy, happy dog. Full blown back to back seizures. I had to put her down. I am going to say something was not right with these biscuits. She was only 7 almost 8years.

Omg i had no idea about this!! Local Woolworths didn’t have our normal biscuits a few weeks ago so i grabbed a bag of these. For 2 weeks now my dog has been deteriorating, multiple vet visits and $$$$ still going downhill with similar symptoms as others. Surely this warrents class action legal case

In reply to Terri Reeve-Fermor.

Terri I’m so sorry to hear this, and I’m hoping for the best outcome from this – please let me know. Lots of fluids and veterinary care, and my fingers tightly crossed.

I urge you to refer this page to your vet, and also urge them to make a “PetFAST” report given your dog’s health has declined so significantly immediately after the food was introduced. If your vet also concludes the food may be the cause, then they may be more willing to attempt treatment.
