Pedigree Pet Foods Reviews

Terrifying Experience – My Dog Got Seriously Ill After Eating Pedigree. I usually cook homemade meals for my dogs, but one week, I didn’t have time and gave them Pedigree kibble, which they’ve had occasionally before. This time, my Shih Tzu, Pam, became violently ill. She vomited repeatedly, even bringing up some blood, and was so lethargic I thought she wouldn’t make it. I had to take her to the vet twice to save her. Her gums were pale and wouldn’t get up. I don’t know if something changed in the formula, but I’ll never feed Pedigree again. No pet should go through this. If you love your dog, please be careful with this food!

Absolutely HORRIBLE dog food. My dogs were on Pedigree for only a few weeks and all my Huskies were puking after eating this. NEVER AGAIN.... My chihuahua starting acting weird like he couldn't. He died the next day. I was told Kidney failure and it was due to this food.

I wasn't aware of how much Corn was in it as a filler. I bought this to hold me over until I was able to buy the more expensive food I usually get. The high amount of corn gave my dog liver disease and she went into liver failure and died within only hours. Hope this company gets stopped along with any other one that uses fillers it unknown meats. I am very disappointed.

My dogs have eaten Pedigree for some time. I do add natural meats like chicken and beef a couple of times a week. Recently they stopped touching it. WOULD NOT eat at all. I don't mix it into Iam's chow, just cut into bite size chunks. Today I got tired of tossing all food so I took Pedigree out with my hands and added other food which they ate with gusto. Even after thoroughly washing my hands they started intensely itching. Washed again and still itching to the point of taking ** and using ** cream. My poor pups knew something is wrong with this food. Do not use,! Would give 0 stars if possible.

The bags of Pedigree for small dogs were 16 pounds. They are now 14 pounds. This is a very sneaky way of of increasing the price by 12 1/2% without raising the price at the sellers market. Consumers must be aware of companies who practice this behavior.

I fed my dogs The adult complete nutrition, a brand new bag, and with in an hour one of my dogs died while the other had to be put down because she was in such bad shape. Prior to eating this crap, they were both very healthy.

Pedigree is horrible for dogs. My dog threw up all the pedigree like an hour later and it made him sick! We also fed my uncle dog pedigree and she kept on throwing up all the food the whole day. We came to a conclusion that the pedigree brand was a horrible food choice for dogs.

I bought soft can Pedigree food as a treat for my two Maltese... Within days they were crapping blood.. This almost killed my male Maltese.. Never will I ever buy this again. Thank goodness I only fed them half the can at a time.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Put my puppies on the Pedigree Puppy formula. Both ended up with moderate diarrhea everywhere. I will NEVER buy this brand again. It is cheap for a reason. Definitely steer clear.

I’m have a pretty strong suspicion this ** killed my puppy and I will never not feel guilty for it. She usually ate Purina canned puppy food. We ran out, we were in a different store than we usually went to and they didn’t have her food. Since it was just a can for the night and not a whole bag of food to commit to I got a can of the Pedigree wet food. She was perfectly fine that day. I fed this to her that night.

Giving Pedigree puppy wet food to my lab puppy. He is eating it well and asking for more. When he receives 1 sachet of 70 gram morning 7 am, another at 12, no issues. But since he was hungry gave 3rd sachet at 4 pm. After 30 minutes he started shivering and unable to stand or walk. Then developed seizure like movements in the limbs and head and blinking of eyes. Is it due to overdose? Any chemical in it causing it?

I don’t like for the fact I was feeding my puppy some puppy food from them and he was sick, ** and ** everywhere. I bought a 16lb bag, something told me to look at the date on the bag and the bag say sell by 2021 and we in 2024, it’s a big problem to me cause this my son. I call the 1800 number and they act like they don’t care telling me they going send me some coupons.

We have been giving our Jack Russell puppy food and small dog dry food for 18 years. He is still going strong, he looks just like the one on the bag. Thank you for all the years of keeping him and our others dogs living a good, healthy life.

I fed a healthy 8 week old English bulldog some Pedigree canned dog food and he got really sick. I took him to the veterinarian the following day. She gave him IV liquids and 2 shots. The same treatment was done for two additional days before he died. We had a healthy litter of 5 week old puppies that my husband unknowingly gave pedigree to. There was 8 Great Pyrenees puppies. 4 are now dead. 1 is dying and one isn’t eating. Two are doing ok for now. All of this within 3 days. I have a call into my veterinarian to talk to them about the pedigree food. Please don’t feed your puppies pedigree.

I purchased a bag of Pedigree Dog Food from PetSmart in March 2024. After 2 meals my Golden Ret had uncontrollable diarrhea which after 2 days was bloody. She couldn’t wait for me to get to the door before she lost control. Also within 24 hours after eating it she was vomiting. It was a Saturday when the bloody diarrhea started so choices were ER vet visit or self treat. I called ER vet and quote was $600 to be seen and tests. Since my dog was still eating and drinking she advised boiled rice and chicken and see my regular vet on Monday. After 2 days of boiled rice and chicken she was improving so I continued with that diet. After 7 days all her diarrhea was cleared up. Never again will I choose Pedigree.

Please make sure what do you feed your dogs with. The bag claims to be all natural, but when you open the bag, it smells bad, like they spray some kind of chemical so it does not go bad. I wanted to give it a try, but it was smelly and my dogs did not like it very much. They ate because they were hungry but one got diarrhea. Other dry dog foods are not smelly. They are a lot of dogs have to ended up put to sleep for health problem caused by bad dog food. Make sure to give some real veggies and fruits as snacks, and a good dry food. I threw away the bag after I went to the store for a refund, but because it was opened they did not refunded. Anyways I got another brand and my dogs liked it.

First time buying Pedigree for my dog and the last time. My pit bull choked on garbage in his food. I found a chunk of hard resin with dog food particles in it. So it came out of one of their machines. I contacted them they said would retrieve the piece and replace the bag. They never did any of that. They will blow you off when you contact them but make it look like they care. I have reached out to them multiple times now with no results. I have photos but I don't see how to upload them.

This product made both my dogs SEVERELY ILL!!! My larger dog stole the chihuahua's food the 1st night so the little one didn't get any but the larger dog shortly thereafter started foaming at the mouth, vomiting, severe diarrhea, and very lethargic. Not realizing the food had been what made him sick, my husband gave some to my chihuahua this morning. Now she is doing the exact same thing. I smelled the can and it has an odd sweet smell to it. Now I see the other reviews and wish I had seen them sooner! This needs to be immediately removed from the shelves!!! I would be glad to provide pictures of how this affected my poor dogs!!!! UPC number is 2310001907.

We used the soft food packets to top off normal dry food. When there was a shortage of other brands. My Labrador (older but, fine) had sudden major issues. No one could figure it out after major vet bills. Unexplainable. She passed at home suddenly. Now my 2 year old lab is having issues. With the same packet of chicken flavor. That’s the only common denominator. Avoid!

People have always said Pedigree is the best, it must be because of the name, I'm keeping a strict eye on my dogs now because I am aware of some bad things, For several months feeding my dogs was taking longer than usual because when you open the cans and take the first spoonful it is nothing but gel, I think a little is probably ok but when you are ending up with a quarter can after taking it out the dogs are not getting enough food and I'm reading some bad nutrition facts about this jelly. I lost my beloved bulldog last year to cancer in his kidneys and now I'm worried that this may be tied in, I'm taking my dogs off of it, there's too many good food out there to chance it, I would love to post pics of this gel, but nowhere to put it and of course Pedigree said send them serial numbers etc but it's in every can I buy, they say it's where they cook the food in the can and the gel seals it. Very Nasty.

I fed Pedigree dog food to my dog (an Australian Kelpie) from the time he was a puppy until he passed away at age 17. He remaind in good health. I think it was a very good product at reasonable price.

I have a picky German Shepherd and she does not like kibble. It costs us approx $140 a month (based on 2 of the large cans) which is approx only $20 more than we were spending on Blue Buffalo kibble each month. I like that I can add rice or vegetables to it and it mixes well. She has never had any stomach issues with this food.

Our dog adopted our family. We have fed her the Pedigree brand since we have had her. She is healthy and doesn't turn up her nose at her food and always finishes it. As soon as she hears one of us getting her food, she comes running. Pedigree is good for her and she is always satisfied and is not overweight so we will keep her on Pedigree. We did try Gravy Train early on and she doesn't like it.

I would never ever recommend this dog food to anyone. I just found a fossilized mouse with dried dog food stuck all over it in the bag when I went to pour my dog’s food into the dish. The only reason I noticed it was because one of the pieces of food looked like it was moldy or something and I was just going to throw the whole bag away and chalk it up as another bad batch of dog food from them, but when I went to look closer the moldy piece was a freaking mouse face. I’ve never been so horrified in my life.

I've been feeding my 8-yr old German Shepherd 2 spoonfuls of Choice Cuts in Gravy along with her Nutrish kibble and Dinovite. Over last 2 months she would refuse to eat about every 3rd day. She was listless, slept a lot and had terrible gas and stomach growling. Obviously in pain. Her stool frequently had an ugly pink and white slime. I stopped the Pedigree. The symptoms went away. She immediately regained her appetite, her energy and good humor. No more gas and stomach growling, normal regular stool, and no indications of pain or discomfort. The Pedigree was obviously making her sick. NO MORE PEDIGREE!

We have been using the Pedigree brand for years. The cans have been OK...But the Pouches have been a problem lately. I have opened several of the Pouches in the Variety pack and they are rancid! I purchased 2 boxes at Pet Smart, opened them and they were like jelly, very strong foul smell. I opened each flavor, they were all the same. Then I purchased 4 - 18 pouch variety pack from Amazon. Took Forever to get here. In the meantime my wife bought a box at Albertsons and they were the same. Like a slimy grease coated the contents. So far one of the boxes was OK from Amazon. There is something seriously wrong here. What is going on!??

I've been feeding my dog Pedigree, dry for a year and a half.. No issue. I've tried several cans of wet food as a topper... He started having explosive diarrhea for 3 days!!! I finally figured out today, it was the Chopped Ground Dinner and threw it away. I see several people having this issue.. Why isn't it recalled?? I think the media or something needs to be involved because if it's affecting more pups, something needs to be done.

I feed this dog food to my dog for over the past 15 years and both of my babies have gotten sick off of this brand of dog food I just recently lost my male baby and after viewing all the other complaints I truly believe it was the dog food cause my girl dog has lost a lot of weight in the past two years and before my boy passed away he was in real good health and all of a sudden my baby lost all of his weight and you could see his ribs. Couldn’t hardly walk or nothing. This company needs to be shut down for good if it’s killing our babies. Let do something to get this company shut down.

I have no idea what can be behind all these 1 star ratings. Some are real suspect. “I’ll go back to my own homemade food”. Of course that’s better if you have the time and money. I’ve been buying the chopped variety for at least 5 years. I have 5 of my own big dogs (60+Lbs) and am an active foster parent. I usually have 2-3 pit fosters. So usually 7 dogs eating it. I feed dry with a wet food topper. It’s a good food at a good price. I have never had an issue and can only highly recommend it.

My dog has never been sensitive to dog food but this has been a nightmare. 18 hrs after giving her the chopped food she had terrible diarrhea. It took a few days to narrow down the problem, diarrhea for the entire time and had only offered a small amount of the food for the 3 days, but it was definitely the chopped dog food. Beware, bad food (additives).
