Alpo Dog Food Reviews

I have used Alpo on our dogs for years and I have not had any complaints till now. The cans with the pull tops are very dangerous - I had almost cut my finger off 2 times already opening these cans. Now I have cut a chunk out of my finger and sliced the other one. I am not a happy camper. This was a stupid idea to leave the sharp edged ridge on the inside of the can. I am tired of buying band aides and gauze because of these cans. Either figure out a way to fix them or quit using them. You owe me $2654.19 for my medical bills and the band aides, gauze, rubber gloves, gas to ER, and the time I cannot use my hand. My husband is a heart patient and on O2. I cannot be hurt right now while he is fighting for his life. I am deeply hurt by your product and I’m not even mentioning the pain I'm in. I have the bloody can if you would like me to mail it back to you - in fact, I have both of the cans.

We gave our two dogs Alpo dog food purchased from the A & P on Thursday, 8/20/09, in Carmel, NY and, by Saturday, they were both sick. My larger dog seems a little better now but my little Dachshund is still really sick, throwing up a lot and has bad diarrhea. He can't even hold water down.

I bought some Purina Alpo Prime cuts dog food Product # 111320137. What happened was that my two Husky Lab Mix 1-year-old male dogs got poisoned causing them death. I called the Purina company and they said that they were out until Jan. 2nd at 7 am.

I had been feeding my two dogs Alpo canned dog food. My one dog Pain started to act different. He was laying around more than usual and he didn't seem to care when the mail came. The mail lady always gives him a treat not to bark. So I took him to the Vet she did blood and urine tests, and tells me he is in stage 2 kidney failure. She put him on a special food and it has stabalized him for now. My bigger dog is 14 so I did not take her to Vet she always lays around. She is almost 3 times his weight and they got the same amount of canned food as a treat.

Just 2 days ago we bought a can of alpo dog food we bought from a gas station. We fed it to him on Tuesday and right as we fed it to him he started to swell up. He had been poisoned by the food, he was a healthy pug up to that point and this afternoon on November 15, 2007. We went outside to feed him and we found him laying in his house dead. We will never buy alpo products again!!! We loved our dog very very much!

the alpo people say they THINK they have their recall under control!? THEY DONT! I just got 12 cans and all the numbers are checking out. When it comes to peoples pets you just cant think you're doing good, you must KNOW you're doing the BEST!

My large mixed breed female dog ate Alpo canned dog food, and Old Roy dry dog food. She went from healthy, happy, and robust 10 yr old--to lethargic. She started having seizures, refused to eat, vomited even her water, drank enormous amts of water, could hardly walk or hold her head up. She started retaining fluid, and we think she had a heart attack.

My dog died in 2 weeks from massive body shut down, liver/heart failure. I was feeding her Alpo Prime Cuts in Gravy that was on the recall list from Purina. She was an older dog, but healthy, and was just at the vet a couple months ago for her shots and nothing was major wrong. When I hear about the recall, I completely stopped using Alpo Prime Cuts and Gravy.

I fed my 12 year old lab Iams dry and Alpo Prime cuts dog food for 10+ healthy years. Suddenly in mid December 2006, the dog became incontinent, vomiting, lethargic, drank excessive water and blood tests at vet showed dog had signs of kidney failure. He changed her dry dog food to special Purina Vets Diet NF with 1/2 can of Alpo Prime cuts. By end of Dec, dog continued to get weaker and stopped eating dry food, would only take Alpo prime cuts.

my dog gizzmo ate the alpo prime cuts in gravey that was recalled she was in the emergency hospital on iv fluids for 48hrs i cannot contact anyone from alpo her bill was 1,195.00 not to mention her vet recheck 101.00 I am so upset -- I am a single mother raising two children but we love our dog just like one of the family and we cannot let her die if it can be helped.

We had a 13 yr old cat named Patty that died in the middle of February. She would lick off the gravy of our dogs’ food every morning (Alpo Prime Cuts in gravy-Chicken) 6 days before her death she stopped eating and would only drink water. She could barely walk around the house. We didn't hear about the Alpo recall until recently. My dog also started reacting the same way diarra, throwing up and not wanting to eat only drinking water. Why didn't Purina tell us when all the other pets foods were recalled I would have stopped feeding it to my animals? I always thought Alpo was the best you could give your animal...the price reflects that.

I started using purina alpo brand dry dog food about 3weeks ago. My dog FROSTY, a 10 years old Chiuahua became ill. Little did I know that the symptoms were heavy breathing, swelling of the stomach, for the illness caused by the bad dog food(Purina Alpo). My FROSTY died Thursday 4/5/2007 between 3pm and 6pm as I could only look at him and watch him die. The vet at the Houston SPCA that saw FROSTY told me that my dog may have had heart worms.

We had our beloved dog Bama put down on Jan 7 because of sudden kidney failure. We had bought him Alpo cuts in gravy dog food, and I read in the paper today that the food tainted was the food manufactured around the time we fed it to him. We fed it to him in early December and he quickly declined over four weeks time, to the point we had him put to sleep. We just wonder.

On 1/9/07 I brought one of my dogs to the vet because she had become ill. She was not eating, had a high fever and lost the ability to walk alone. She stayed over night at the vet, had tests done however, the vet was unable to find her problem. She was put on Baytril, Amoxi, & Rimadyl. She came home with me the next day. My dog (Zena) died suddenly on Feb. 24th, 2007.

My dog had to be put to sleep as 2/20/07.  He was vomiting, lethargid and lost 4 pounds in 4 days. The first thing we did was check the pet food recall list but Alpo Prime Cuts was not on the list.  Yesterday I learned it was added.

My dog is dead, have all vet records, and Cant beleive it, had I waited one more day for the announcement, I could have helped him or at least tried, instead I feel like I killed him.

I have two small chihuahuas that ate Alpo Prime Cuts dog food.  One of my dogs is currently in the hospital because her kidneys are failing. Sophie is only 6 months old and is very ill.  My other dog Charlie is beginning to show signs as well.  This has caused me a great deal of stress, time off work, money and possibly the lives of my animals.
