Pedigree Pet Foods

Bonnie of W. Palm Beach FL (03/19/09)
i have always had dogs in my life. i want them to live long and have a healthy life. i have been hearing all kinds of news about the Pedigree dog food being recalled because of poison. i will have to stop buying Pedigree because my dogs mean the world to me and i do not want them to get poisoned from the dog food that i am feeding them. my dogs are my children and i want them to live long as possible and of course stay healthy. is there something that can be done about companies that are producing unhealthy and poison dog foods? it should be against the law!

if there are better choices out there to feed my dog, i will just have to find them. for the safety of our dogs, please tell me that you are going to find out what is going on and put a stop to all of this cruelty to animals. it is very cruel to feed your dog a food that will eventually make them sick and kill them! would you feed your human child such a thing? something really needs to be done about the dog food indusdry!

I purchased several cans of Pedigree chopped beef dog food from Walmart in Savannah, Ga. The can numbers were 840CCKKCCO 0606CB with the expiration date of 10/2010. We lost two dogs in a matter of three days due to some problem with their food which is the only thing they had in common. I had my dog named Moca since 1996 which I had to take to the vet on Friday,October 31, 2008 because his hind legs could not hold him up. They saw his kidneys had stopped working and decided it was best to put him down.

Then we noticed our Pedro which we had for 10 years started acting funny. We thought he was just depressed since Moca did not come back home. I was going to take Pedro in on Monday morning to the vet but he died sometime early Monday morning Nov.3, 2009.

We had Mars send us some envelopes to mail back two of the cans of food we had used. I have called them on several occasions and they said they were still anaylizing the food. I did call the Walmart where I bought the food and they removed any remaining containers from their shelves. I am still waiting on a response from Mars Petcare who makes the dog food to give us an answer to the know if we had poisoned our dogs we loved so much. I still get upset over thinking about the loss of my babies. I just want some closure to know if the dog food had something to do with the deaths.

Mental and emotional destress. I just want them to give me a response to my letter regarding their food.

I fed my dogs Pedigree puppy chicken & beef dinner wet food Lot # 1106936 (4 cans of a 6 pack) that I bought at Target in Bozeman, MT. My dogs were extremely sick, fevorish, and lethargic with extememe diahrea for almost 2 weeks.

I had to clean my carpeting multiple times and pay for dagnosis and vet bills not to mention the worry and time spent nursing them back to health.

My 5 year old dog abruptly died from Kidney failure, she was vibrant and energetic one week and lethargic and lack of appetite the next. We took her to the Vet and she was found to have Kidney Failure. We had to put her down because she was suffering. I searched the internet and found out that the food that I give my dog (Pedigree dry&wet) could have been the cause of her death, she was the best pet we have ever had and she brought joy into our lives every single day and she will be missed, we don't want anyone else to have to go through what we experienced, our Home is so sad from the loss of what we considered a family member.

We would like to become part of a class action lawsuit and possibly getting the cost of the Vet bills refunded.
