    Same story 10 yrs down the road. Pit Aussie mix pup 7 months old been on Alpo 3 days and has had 4 seizures today and has nearly shit himself to death. None of the other dogs are it the 1st night...none did except Jasper. 2nd morning Homer and Gomer (little mates) ate some and both are throwing up and shitting themselves to the point of dangerous dehydration. Special place in hell for Alpo dog food producers. Stay away from it if you like your dog.

    I just got a new German Shepherd and I plan to feed my dog this food. My mother had a shepherd Doberman mix that lasted from 1976 to 1993. 16 years on Alpo dog food. I highly recommend This food for everyone. It is affordable and I swear on my grave that my mother's dog lasted over 16 years all its life since it was a puppy until it died of old age on just this food. I know I have a German Shepherd and I'm proud to say I'm going to use this food to keep my dog happy and healthy all its life Thank you to the owners of this dog food who produce it. I never forgot and I loved my dog when I grew up all those years ago and miss her very much but I have a new German Shepherd and I'm only feeding it Alpo because I am living proof that my mother's dog lasted 16 years healthy and happy on Alpo dog food. A+ rating from a very happy customer. 😃👍

      I received Alpo Snaps Dog Treats as a gift for my dog from a neighbor. I gave them to him for two days and he has been sick with diarrhea for almost a week. Won't barely eat his food and will barely drink. He weighs 100lbs, I cannot imagine what these treats would do to a smaller dog. Please, please take these off the market and consumers - pet owners - stay away from this brand. It is truly poison.

      On day two of feeding this food to my dog she was acting weird. She was barely pooping, lethargic, off balance, and scared. She was shaking and not being herself AT ALL. After looking up this dog food it has also killed dogs. NEVER BUY THIS DOG FOOD!!

      My loving pit bull Mary Jane ate Alpo Prime Cuts and could not breath, gasping for air, not first time this happened, thank God I figured it was the alpo prime cuts doing this to her. How can this be allowed? We love our animals as a family member and the law looks at dogs with human laws in affect for the dog. Please stop this company from killing our precious family member, our dogs.

      Bought a case of Alpo Prime Cuts canned food. My dog has never had any digestive issues. Within a day she had severe diabetes with blood in stool. She vomited twice, which had never happened before. Returned the rest of cans to Sam’s club. She is fine now on Blue Mountain Food.

      I began feeding Alpo canned Prime Cuts and Chop House to my healthy Chihuahua because he needed soft food for his teeth. Within a month-he had become so ill he died. Vomiting, bloody diarrhea, lethargy. He couldn't even hold down water. He spent 3 days at my vets and he did all he could to save him but it was too late. He said he was poisoned-now mind you I have 3 other dogs and none of them got sick-and none of them ate this food! I am convinced it was this food that killed him. So please-do not ever feed this junk to your animals.

      I almost lost my dog because of Alpo Dog Food. I decided to switch up my dog's treats so I bought him some alpo dog treats. Within the next 3 days my dog kept having bloody diarrhea everywhere! He was losing his energy and he started to slow down drastically. I could not figure out what was wrong with him. Then he started having seizures. They started off mild and then got really bad towards the end of the week. I was devastated because I thought my dog was going to die! He got so weak and lethargic. He got so sick so fast that I knew it had to be something I was giving him since he wasn't like this before.

      I did research on the dog treats and discovered this page and other pages that shared how harmful this dog food is. I stopped giving Him the dog treats and his seizures stopped 2 days later. I've spent about 500$ taking to him to the vet to help him recover. He's on antibiotics now and he's recovering slowly but that food did a lot of damage to his health! This dog food should be illegal!!!!

      My 7 month old pup got really sick a few weeks ago. Didn't know what was wrong with him. He was very lethargic, wasn't moving, sleeping all the time, throwing up, diarhea with slime in it. I took him to the vet, cost me 1500 dollars and we still didn't know what was wrong so the vet put my pup on antibiotics. He was doing great on the antibiotics. He just finished his antibiotics yesterday and that's when I started feeding him his Alpo dry dog food again. About 2 hours after he ate he became very very ill, becoming lethargic just sleeping. He can barely walk now. High high fever. My pup looks like he's dying right now. Now I know it's the dog food causing this! How on earth can you sell dog food that makes puppies sick like this. I need to go back into the vet first thing in the morning. Now that I know it's that alpo dog food causing this and see if I can save my puppy's life! NEVER EVER BUY THIS ALPO DOG FOOD!

      Got a bag of Purina ALPO Prime Cuts® Dry Dog Food a week ago for our 4 dogs. In a week, 2, 6 month old healthy dogs past away with 48 hours of vomiting and diarrhea with blood and yellow foam, shakes fevers, lethargic, wouldn't eat or drink. Not even IV fluids saved them. Now our 12 year old male is showing the same signs. All we can do is hive IV fluids and pray. Only dog not showing signs yet is our 4 year old female that only took a couple bits then turned away. Never thought it might be the food until I looked more into it. Now right before Christmas our family has lost our loved puppies, scared for our other 2 and can't do anything but pray.. How can they keep selling this when it has been known to kill our family members. Something needs to be done.. And, it needs done, asap. We are adults and losing our pets feel like a whole in my heart. My kids really don't, know how to seal, with this.. Stop hurting families..
