Pedigree Pet Foods Reviews

Bad reactions. I have been giving my dogs Pedigree for years but in the last couple of months my dogs have vomited and losing hair in patches. 2 weeks off pedigree and they are getting better. Something in this product has changed. Please do not give to your dogs.

Found a large, hard piece of plastic in my dog's food today. I emailed and IM'd Pedigree but have not heard back. I am going to throw the rest of the cans of food away and buy a better quality product.

We just switched our dog's dog foods because she was on a medicine. We didn't know about Pedigree's FALSE dog foods so we gave it to her, but when I came downstairs I smelt poop thinking that it was my brother. But I came to see that my dog Cali was leaning against the cage because there was diarrhea all over her dog bed. My grandmother had the same problem after using this dog food with all 3 of her dogs and all 3 had diarrhea. I would recommend IAMS dog food because that has been very successful with our dog. Also please help me spread out the word, dogs are my fav animal and I would take a bullet to save a dog's life so please spread the word because I don't want any more dogs getting sick or dying.

One of our dogs got sick on Saturday, then the other on Monday. The only thing possibly caused this was their food. Just had bought a new bag of dry Pedigree Adult Chicken and Rice. Both had same symptoms: lack of appetite, diarrhea, and stinky gas. Treated both with ** advised by vet for upset stomach, helped some, still no appetite for current food. Tossed the Pedigree, purchased different brand and they are finally starting to eat some and they seem to be some better. We've been using this food for years and never had this to happen, will not purchase again!

I complained to the grocery store about the effects Pedigree has had on my dog. Bleeding and mucus from the rectum. I hope people get the word out there. I'm going to go on their FB and every site I can find, because if you are here reading these reviews you love your pets as much as I do. Please join me in getting the word out!!!

My son recently move back home and brought his fig along. I notice Brody my son's dog was not eating and seem sick. My son was feeding him Pedigree so I tried my dog's food and slowly started eating again. My dog is not a picky eater so I started feeding him the Pedigree. He extremely sick, vomiting, disoriented and has injured his leg from his confusion. I am extremely upset and will be seeking legal advice. I request that full investigation on this product should be done. They are not only Dogs but family members which we love dearly.

Our little one has been on this food from the beginning. Not sure if we got a bad bag, but she had hemorrhagic enteritis, ended up in vet overnight. Got her straightened back out with chicken and rice and meds. Finally got her back on this food. We are now back to pure liquid diarrhea. Vet gave wormer, probiotic, and **. FINALLY got her hardening back up. Started introducing a bit of food mixed with rice and now going back to soft poop with diarrhea. This is the only factor that can be causing this. Will be going back to chicken and rice and tossing her bag of food and switching brands. RECALL IS NEEDED.

Warning, avoid. Making dogs very sick. I always thought Pedigree was a quality digital food, and haven't had problems until recently. After starting this last bag of Pedigree puppy food my 11 month old Carolina Doh has had severe diarrhea everyday. Because it is the same food she has been eating I didn't suspect it was her food, but after eliminating everything else I could think of, I began to research and found out MANY others are having the same problem! Why hasn't this product been recalled??? I am taking it back to the store in the morning. I have been awake all night taking her outside to go to the bathroom, and finding out that this product is actually terrible. Check out the dog food advisor site for how bad it is! It can't really get any worse. I am going to Tractor Supply to get a real quality food, and just hope she survives this.

I recently started feeding my 5 year old Catahoula Pedigree "choice cuts" canned dog food. A couple weeks ago he got very sick. Ran a high fever, experienced diarrhea, and was so lethargic and sick that he couldn't get up to go potty. After examining the can of chicken and rice I thought it smelled bad so I threw it away and bought a different brand. I really was grasping at straws and had to assume it was his food that had sickened him. I immediately changed his canned food and he recovered within 24 hours. A few days ago I again bought the Pedigree canned dog food. He is currently sick and has been for two days. I couldn't figure it out until I happened across the other numerous complaints. A light bulb immediately went off. I'm so sorry for everyone's losses and sickness. My dog Tice and I thank you so much for documenting your trouble. Pedigree has a huge problem and should be held accountable.

I fed my American Bulldog Pedigree dog food from the time I got him at 12 weeks until two years ago after him suffering from severe bouts of diarrhea and bloody diarrhea. I had found in online research customers complaining of metal shards and dogs suffering from the same symptoms. It was then I switched him and our other two dogs to Blue Buffalo grain free after him having to go on a prescription IB dog food until his gut appeared better. I'm writing this heartbroken after having to have him put down two weeks ago, and fully blame Pedigree dog food. Initially after switching to grain free there was temporary cure of his symptoms. And ironically around the same time we had decided to switch dog foods, our Shih Tzu had just overcome HGB and almost lost his life. After four nights in the vet laying listlessly appearing I would never bring him home, he started to show improvement and turned the corner to recovery!

My 13 year old Chesapeake got sick for 2-3 days straight after I fed her a new bag of Pedigree March 1st. She vomited all day March 2nd and refused to eat any more. Although she would drink water and accept treats. I tried to feed her next day and same thing vomited everything. After that refused pedigree entirely. I thought something was wrong and her eyes told me it was the pedigree. Been feeding her cheese and treats and she's coming around. Something definitely wrong with that food. Happy to share info.

In late November 2016 I bought a large bag of puppy food your brand on Amazon. We dumped the whole bag into a Gamma Vault container. And now after many scoops.. We take a long time to use up puppy food, because our mini dachshund only eats about a cup a day. But we have found dog feces mixed in the food multiple times. It is the same coloration as the dog food and at first thought it was a fluke. But now after 6 incidences of finding it, we believe we MUST report this. We cannot afford to replace the bag of food now, so we are filtering it carefully. But the thought that our puppy may have consumed dog feces from your processing plant is highly alarming. Please check into this and we will be checking further on what United States regulations are for your company so we can go to the highest authority with this issue. A very sad and angry customer, Rebecca.

I have been feeding my chihuahua babies Pedigree puppy for years. Their momma has been eating zero grain because she is allergic to grain and I started them on that because they enjoy it but it is larger and they seemed to eat more of the pedigree puppy and continue to gain more weight at first. Well, we began feeding pedigree puppy chicken and vegetable in the three pound bag and the seven pound bag and they was seeming to be doing okay at first but after about the second day the smallest of the two begin vomiting and did this for at least 12 hours. Very much just brown liquid and a little greenish liquid which was the color of the food. She also started to have explosive diarrhea.

We introduced our dog to this dog food on 2/23/17 (mixing it in with her old dog food to get her used to it) and it resulted not only in terrible diarrhea, she will not get out of bed. She literally will not get out of bed. I can't even coax her out with a dog treat. Absolutely unheard of. Pedigree? The name implies quality. I don't know what's in this dog food, but we are bringing it all back to the store and saving a can to have it analyzed because I am convinced there is something wholly toxic in it. DO NOT BUY THIS DOG FOOD AND SPREAD THE WORD. My dog has never in her life responded to any food this way, dog or human. She's eaten cat poop for heaven's sake and never had a bad reaction.

We fed our 4 month old Boston Terrier Pedigree puppy food for 3 days. On the 3rd day he began throwing up and had diarrhea. We took him to the vet on a Monday and they couldn't find anything wrong with him and sent us home. I threw away the food and started him on another brand because I suspected something was wrong with the Pedigree. By Wednesday night he could no longer walk and we took him back to the vet. He had a fever and an extremely high white blood cell count. This dog has had all his vaccinations and was previously extremely healthy and energetic. After 5 vet visits he is now on antibiotics and steroids and is trying to walk again. The ONLY thing we did differently was feed him Pedigree dog food.

A few weeks ago I sent my husband to the store to get dog food. Her regular dog food wasn't available so he came back with PEDIGREE. I fed my dog and later, I happen to notice my dog was acting strange. She was freaking out, her pupils were dilated, she was twitching, her head was moving back and forth. She wouldn't eat or sleep and it wore off after a few days. We had no idea what caused this to happen. When she got her appetite back, her regular food was given to her. I took her to the vet and after running several tests, they could not figure out what was wrong. They suggested that we keep a close watch of her and to keep a daily log of everything she does and eats so that if it happens again, we can narrow it down. So we did just that.

I buy the Pedigree Puppy Chow dry dog food for large breeds. Today I found a piece of black metal fragment in his food as I was pouring in his bowl. Luckily I was watching him and saw it before he ate it. I will attempt to attach the picture. Is there a recall on the puppy chow for large breeds? I will try and find my receipt of where the food was purchased. It was either Walmart or Gerbes in Jefferson City, MO.

Cans clearly have mold in food. This is really disgusting that this company can sell this in stores for our fur babies. We wouldn't want to eat this garbage and don't want our precious pets to eat it and possibly get very sick and die.

If one batch of dog food is put in 3 different name bags and shouldn't it be right to combine the complaints. Why would mars split a bad batch of dog food, is it so they can mix it up and spread it out so it ain't as noticeable? Ray Charles could see that!

My dog is a healthy 9 year old toy poodle. I always feed him ACana organic dog food. He had many teeth pulled and was recommended he should eat some canned food as needed if he was having trouble with the hard food. I fed him Pedigree Chopped Ground Dinner with Chicken. The next day my 9 lb. poodle exhibited signs of diarrhea, 2am diarrhea and by 6 am bloody diarrhea and 7 am just blood coming out of his rectum.

Stop feeding your dog pedigree. (1-13-2017) Zeus has been sick on and off for 2 weeks now. I feel terrible that it took me this long to figure it out. He would get super lethargic to the point I would have to carry him out and hold him up to go potty, vomiting, and diarrhea. I figured he just had a bad tummy ache. So I fed him rice and ground beef, he would come out of it so I would feed him regular dog food again. Same thing would happen. I took away his deer antler chew toy thinking it might be the problem, nope! Come to find out a lot of people have had the same problem because of Pedigree dog food. I called and they acted like this was the first they had heard of it. (1-14-2017) Took him to the vet. He's had a round of different shots, antibiotics, steroids and have him on a different diet. He is still slow moving if he moves at all.

Thank goodness for this forum. Let me tell you something told me to look up this food... and I'm glad I did. I noticed that a lot of the post was dated just recently Sept 2016. My dog Mazzy has been going through hell since then. It's cost me a lot in vet bills. All test and blood work was negative of course. No obstructions in her body. Yet she suffered with wheezing... fatigue... continual runs which probiotics couldn't help. A lot of green and mucus discharge. Then last Sunday she started spewing blood out of her mouth and nose like a zombie attack. Yet she was still alert. She drank water. It sounded like the blood was in her lungs.

My 10 yr old GSD has been eating Pedigree dry dog food his entire life. My lab has been eating it for 7 yrs. Every time they eat they will drink an excessive amount of water plus start to lose hair and itch. I bought a 44lb bag on Jan. 3rd, 2017 and just now opened it 3 days ago. Both dogs got sick after 3 days of eating it and both dogs didn't want to eat it. The lab started urinating on the floor and had loose bowels. He also started to vomit. The GSD started with runny stools and urinating on the floor. I will be contacting the company and possibly have it tested to find out why they are sick.

I have been feeding an abandon dog with the same Pedigree that I feed/fed my own dog/dogs (I did have 2 dogs). Due to money problems I had to put my abandoned dog on a cheaper food. I researched that food hoping that it would be adequate and while I was at it decided to review Pedigree. After reading all the reviews I am certain Pedigree killed my little Rat Terrier named Missy. All the symptoms are the same. I never once considered the food because I have used this food for 9 years. I spent $190.00 at the vet and was unable to save her.

I had ran out of the normal dog food I usually use and saw this dog food on sale so Decided to try it out. I first noticed something wasn't right when one of my dogs vomited all of the food she ate all over my bed. I cleaned up the mess and went to work. I left her in since it was freezing cold outside and I didn't want either of my dogs to get cold. By the time I came home from work there were countless vomit spots and bloody diarrhea piles all over the place. I rushed her to the vet and they had to admit her and immediately put her on fluids intravenously, as she was severely dehydrated. I left her there and went home to find my other dog starting with the same symptoms. So I ran him to the vet. It's now been a full week in the vet's office and at least $5000 in bills to get them past the threshold of death.

I have used Pedigree for my beagle and lab for a year now... I have bought roasted Chicken and vegetables this month. Opened the bag and my dogs they played with the food and ate here and there. You have to understand that the beagle eats anything and gobbles it down and the lab has a healthy appetite also. 2 days in the lab refused to eat and the beagle starting urinating on the floor which she never ever has done, both were also very thirsty. We would take the dogs out and they would do their business, within 15 minutes the beagle would start urinating in the house again and continue throughout the day and now she just will not eat and lethargic. Husband and I went and bought a different brand of dog food and they both ate, beagle still has urinating problems and lethargic. Will be taken to the vet tomorrow morning for check up.

With every new can of the Pedigree dog food, there is less MEAT? and more of a gel-like substance in the can. It probably amounts to 1/3 of the content! Unfortunately my senior dog, a miniature poodle is used to it and refuses a better product!

Like many reviewers I've seen here, our dogs have had similar experiences while eating Pedigree Brand dog food. It began with watery stools, itchy and irritated skin, hairless and even weightless. They are both currently being treated for their skin conditions and weightless. Luckily I think we switched their foods just in time, before anymore damage could be done to them. I've contacted Pedigree about our experience and have yet to hear anything back. I would advise any pet owners to steer clear of this brand and all of its products. Yes, the price is great, but like with anything you definitely get what you are paying for. And in the long run saving a few bucks is definitely not worth it. It's not worth seeing your pets sick and miserable nor is it worth the stress and vet bills you will eventually incur.

I have had two wonderful family dogs that were very fun and healthy: Katie: a black long-haired lab mix, and Moby: a black, short-haired, basset or dachshund mix. They were great friends and valued family members. Energetic, loving, smart, active and obedient. They were both fed with Pedigree canned and dry food their entire lives. Moby lived a healthy life of 13 years. Katie lived a very long and very healthy life of 18 years!!! I attribute their long and healthy lives to 1) Pedigree, 2) good vets, and 3) lots of love.

We have used Pedigree Ground Dinner for years. This past week our American Eskimo became very sick with the diarrhea and vomiting. On examination of the food it was black in color. We are no longer going to use this brand. Too expensive to keep paying a vet.

Had a very bad experience with the Pedigree Little Champions Variety Pack pouches - UPC 023100272184. picked up a 12 pack from a local national chain store, with a noted expiration (best before) of 10/2017 with codes 633 B2 4JC0 8 19 15 229-00... Gave our dog one of these for his nightly meal. The following day he was so sick with throwing up and diarrhea that we were concerned he might not survive. Since we had also allowed him to have a couple of pieces of our own food as a treat (popcorn), we thought that might have been the issue. By the end of the day, he had recovered enough that he was willing to eat dinner, so we gave him one of his regular meal products (NOT Pedigree) and all seemed good.

I wish Pedigree would have a bigger variety to pick. My dog gets tired of the same, like have some with small beef bones and other beef ingredients. I have to take out the vegetables because there is just too many. More beef or chicken in the bag please. Less vegetables.

Providing this wet food from the can has been the additional nutritional value I add to the Purina puppy chow they love. Having tried other canned dog food, they just do not seem to like it as much as the Pedigree canned food. They really love the chicken, liver, filet mignon with vegetables mixed in.

I recently bought for the first time a can of Pedigree Ground Dinner With Beef. As I was feeding my 2 little dogs with this food for the second time, I found several small sharp hard bones in the ground meal. I am hoping and praying that they didn't eat any of the sharp bones the first time. I have thrown the can away. Never buy any of this stuff!

As a leading UK Dog Behaviourist, I have studied and researched many types of dog food. Certainly, in the UK the two foods that come to mind are Pedigree and Bakers as the most controversial. The ingredients are poor and the additives are an absolute disgrace. I wrote and article on both of these brands that went viral in the UK as still is very current today as we hear of these horrific reactions to a food that should be good for dogs not fatal. It is worth understanding what Pedigree and Bakers actually put in their food, so you can fully understand the concerns that I have as a professional behaviourist. **.

It started with my smallest dog liquid poop and some blood. Took him off from eating thinking he had just an upset tummy poop. started to become normal. I let him eat after 24 hours and guess what it's back. Now my other two dogs. I've used your brand dog food for over 10 years and never had a problem before. I would like some answer. After reading some reviews I quickly realized that maybe another person had the same number on our bag with similar issues. I will be buying another brand of food as of today and will try charcoal to wipe out anything negative in their systems. I'm so upset... I just hope I caught it in time.

I normally don't have any issues with Pedigree. My dog has been a fussy eater lately so I decided to buy a can of the Pedigree chopped chicken. I mixed a quarter cup into her dry food yesterday. I came home to a mess. She has had diarrhea since approximately 3pm on 11/26/2016. I've been up all night w/ her and every 20 minutes outside taking her out. It's Pedigree chopped ground dinner with chicken. UPC 023100010762, BB 092918 21 3, 639FKKCD 0405KC. Has anyone had similar issues with this product? Is there a recall on this product? If there are any issues I just want the public made aware. I've never seen my dog so lethargic, consistently having diarrhea and her color is pale.

This dog food has killed 4 of my fur babies and I didn't realize it was the food 'til tonight because it's killing my 5th dog now. All same symptoms as before - diarrhea, vomiting, weak, blank face, whining, no appetite, weight loss, and hair loss. Pedigree needs to go to doggy hell...I trusted y'all (2010 'til 2016).

Bag number 23100/10736. Ran out of our usual Iams dog food and my bf bought the Pedigree dry dog food. It made my rottie so sick. Vomiting and very bloody diarrhea and he was lethargic. Switching him over to boiled chicken and Rice and a vet appointment tomorrow. Our other 3 dog are doing better. 2 of them didn't really eat any and the 1 had loose stool but only once. But my rottie poor boy... never again will I buy this brand.

I have been feeding my dogs both Pedigree dry dog food and canned dog food for over 10 years. After ingesting the dog food on Thursday they began getting sick. Runny diarrhea and lethargy. One of them almost died. I kept the product numbers if the company cares to respond. I also am noticing that a large number of complaints are being written for Sept and Oct 2016. Don't buy this dog food.

I always found my dog to have a sensitive stomach regarding canned dog food and dry food was out of the question as he could not digest anything too dry appropriately. My poodle lived to be sixteen years old with the most minor of health problems. Minny never have a tooth problem ever! No dentist required and had the cleanest teeth. Well, he lived to be sixteen for a reason I say it was the food. How many dogs live to be sixteen and the only time he needed a vet was when he refused to drop the chicken bones he picked up that people so kindly dropped on the ground without a care.

I have raised golden retrievers for 25 years. I decided that I would change the dog's food to Pedigree. The dog food has caused major itching in my 15 year old dog. Causing itching and dryness to stools. Do not feed your animals this food no more. It's bad. Thank you very much.

I was feeding my 120 lb Alaskan Malamute her 2 cans of Pedigree I mix with her dry food, the beef in gravy variety. I had the cans on my counter and my cat jumped up while I was out of the room and licked most of the gravy out of the can. This cat was healthy as could be. By the next day, the cat was lethargic and not eating. 4 days later after 2 vets visits, he is gone... died in my arms from seizuring from this food I believe. He had started to turn yellow 2 days after eating it, so his liver was involved. I am worried about my dog because she is large. I imagine it would take longer to affect her. She is off that food now. But if you have a small dog, I would stop using this food immediately. I am convinced it killed our beloved cat. We are heartbroken.

Well, I had a gsd at home named Joey. He was quite healthy energetic until we started feeding him with Pedigree chicken and milk... I ordered this food online. After 7 days I noticed my pup didn't grew a muscle... and had started with bright yellow urine colour and loose motions repeatedly. We were told by the doc he is suffering from urine infection...and diarrhea gastro. Recommended us vet life gastrointestinal... By the time we started his medication he had lost weight, energy and WBCs... He turned anemic and on 29th September 2016 before he gave up he had been making some strange noises from his belly.

Please DO NOT feed your babies Pedigree Puppy Food. My baby Chihuahua has been sick with runny stools and tummy pain for 3 days. This company should be taken down for hurting and killing our furry babies. I am praying my lil one and all other babies will survive this murderous company. Let's all boycott Pedigree Pet Food.

My dog has been eating Pedigree dry dog food for a couple years now. We bought a new bag about a week ago and after a few days she started having runny poop and then severe, liquid diarrhea that caused her to bleed. I took her to the emergency vet, and $200+ dollars later and a bland diet of food from the vet, she was back to normal. I slowly incorporated Pedigree back into her food, and when I gave her a full bowl of Pedigree again it's back to diarrhea! They must have done something to the formula or had a nasty batch, because I see other bad, recent reviews on this website! Stay away!!! Get some bland food from the vet and transfer your dog (slowly) to another brand once they are healed!

My mom purchased the food from Kmart on Sunday morning. She fed all three of our dogs which we have. A Pomeranian, Yorkie, and a German Shepherd. Corey was the youngest which he was the Pom. He die today at 3 o'clock. Corey was lethargic, stumbling, could not stand and very weak. This food killed our dog. Dutchess has diarrhea and Prince our Yorkie didn't eat it thank God. It's sad, within hours he was gone. I can believe this happened! We need to do something and take this food off the market, it's killing our animals. Help please. Someone help. We need to pull it off the market. I don't want to read another story. I'm sitting here in tears and pain. My heart is aching.

Been buying Pedigree Canned Dog for our Bloodhound and Blue Tick mix for a long period of time. No problems until now. Suddenly every can opened smells like decaying road kill after being in their food bowl less than an hour. It's becomes so foul smelling I throw it out in the woods and not even the wildlife will touch it. I have 40+ cans I won't feed them and no longer have a receipt.

After my 7 year old boxer & my 3 year old mixed pup have eaten Pedigree dry food their breath smelled like fish. Suddenly started with pain, vomiting, watery diarrhea. Took them off Pedigree it stopped.

I switched my dog to their wet food in May 2016. Since then, he has lost 10 lbs and had severe diarrhea. At first, I thought it was a basic stomach bug and the vet put him on antibiotics. They didn't work and he continued to lose weight and have panic attacks multiple times a day. His bloodwork, pee, and stool sample came back negative for anything. We then thought he had Addison's disease which cost me $265 to check. He was negative for that.

My 9 year old AKC Golden retriever one night started having bloody green discharge along with whimpering and was obviously in pain, took her to the vets and found out she had a infected uterus, (pyometra) which they wanted to do emergency surgery right away on her but it cost between $800 to start and up to $3,500 if anything went wrong and needed iv's or hospitalizations, and I didn't have the money right away, we applied for carecredit so they started her on antibiotics over the weekend which seemed to help a tiny bit, remind you I had never had a issue with this dog nor did she ever seem or act sick.

After giving my beloved Westie Millie Dry Pedigree for the first time within weeks she died from bowel cancer. After finding out today that other dog owners have had such negative experiences with this company and the horrific distress this has caused me personally I intend to sue. I urge other people to follow suit. It's a disgrace. My precious Millie meant everything to me. Horrified! Picture below was prior to Millie eating Pedigree. The forever logo added following her untimely death. I hope this.

Well not thinking about what I posted a couple of year ago about my dog having seizures from Pedigree dog food which I stopped and never bought again for my dogs. He never had a seizure again after stopping the dog food. Yesterday not thinking I bought Dentastix by Pedigree. Wow I forgot my poor Pepe had a seizure from Dentastix from Pedigree. They went right to the trash. Poison. Please don't give no Pedigree products to your animals.

My dog ate this because my family and I thought it was a good food. The first 50 pounds was good but we got to the second 50 pounds and we were one third of the way through it and my dog ate it and threw up. The next that happens is he started having the diarrhea and then at about 3 am as I have trouble sleeping he had a seizure and he's never had a seizure. The next day he had bloody diarrhea and would not eat or drink.

I recently switched my boxer over to Pedigree because the store was out of her normal food. At first she didn't even want to eat it, but finally gave it a try. She was only on this food for 3 days and has been vomiting since the first day. My dog is VERY healthy and rarely ever vomits. I have switched her food back to her normal food and she is still vomiting and has a lack of appetite. After reading all of these reviews, this sounds normal for this brand which is super scary!! Don't buy this food!

Shopped at a different store, so I purchased Pedigree large dog food bag. When I opened it, it had a strong chemical smell. After one bowl, my dog would not eat it. They didn't have the kind I usually buy and my cat tore open the bag during the night, so I cannot take it back. $15.59 out the door, and I am a senior, so this was a hit to my budget.

I am asking that people please do not feed this to your animals! I have had to bury TWO of my dogs in the last 45 days. I had 4, and the two that I had to bury were both fed Pedigree, and both had the exact same symptoms. The first one stopped eating and drinking, started vomiting blood and had bloody diarrhea, so we took him to the vet, and were told that he had liver failure, so we had him put down on June 28th. Okay, he was 11 years old... No big deal... Thought it was just age. Well, then my second dog started showing the EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS! Unfortunately, we just finished burying him.

Worst dog food. I thought it will be good for my gsd puppy. But now after seeing the result, I'll never prefer it to anyone. My gsd puppy was really healthy on drools food. But what came in my mind & started giving him pedigree? He is suffering from diarrhea since last 5 weeks. He is been on treatment but still no change. He is becoming skinny & losing a good amount of hair daily.

Was feeding my dog Pedigree Can and Dry Dog food when he died in March 31, 2016. I did not know for sure at first what was going on. He got sick so I gave him Pepto and he got better but he got deadly sick again a week or so later. I did not think at first the food is what was doing it to him. Well I should say his name his name was Maverick. Anyways I took him to the vet when he got sick again. This time he could not even walk, he was so sick. Anyways my vet ran tests and something was shutting down - his kidneys and everything.

I had four 6 week old puppies that were healthy until I fed them this so called food. 24 hours after they ate it they were throwing up and pooping blood. Thanks to this food I only have one puppy left and she is now at the vets praying she will make it. This crap is uncalled for. Stop selling food that keeps killing dogs. I am very hurt and very, very pissed off at this company. Please do not feed your babies Pedigree Wet Puppy Food.

I have an animal sanctuary and I counsel people on pet issues all across the country. I have taken close to 40 calls in the last 6 months from people with deathly sick animals. Some recover. Some do not. These people tell me of symptoms you read in all these posts. I quit using Pedigree ten yrs ago when I noticed a strong chemical smell coming from the food. These complaints include canned food and dry chow. Do not use this food. It is toxic. I honestly don't know how this company gets away with this. There should be a class action lawsuit. Animals grossly suffer.

I have a 5 year old hound dog who has been vomiting daily, I couldn't figure out why she's been doing it but now I trace it back to the Pedigree she has been eating every day. Seems like after the dog consumes the food within a few hours she is vomiting and it's nothing but the dry kibble. I bought a big 50 pound bag of Pedigree dry kibble from my local Sam's Club. I think Pedigree needs to recall this food because it's making many of our pets sick.

I have 4 small dogs, each at around 10 lbs. Within 12 hours of eating this kibble, the two smallest were vomiting and had diarrhea. Within 24 hours, all 4 were vomiting and the smallest dog had bloody diarrhea. I gave them all Pepto Bismol via a dropper, and then water only for a few hours. More Pepto, then offered them cooked chicken blended with rice. They each had maybe a couple of tablespoons full, then slept all day. The smallest dog is still very lethargic, but her breathing rate has returned to normal. (I think she came close to dying, as she could barely lift her head and open her eyes last night.)

I have been feeding Pedigree brand dog food to my Frenchton for some time. I recently purchased an 8-pack of little champions from grocery outlet in CA. I typically buy the 12-pack of variety flavor at Walmart along with a medium-sized bag of dry dog food and mix the two dry and wet. However lately my dog is shedding like crazy and has a weird rash on his forehead that is red and the hair is really just following out in that area. He vomited 3 times yesterday. He's lethargic and looks at me with a blank stare. This product is super concerning. I won't be feeding my pet this any longer. I hope this helps someone in time. Shortcuts in manufacturing cost everyone in the end.

My little black pug, age 15, passed away on July 22, after battling with the explosive diarrhea. I see that others have complained here. My other pug was on Hill's food for a medical issue and seemed to have escaped, however, we are transitioning him back to kibble now and he is now exhibiting the same symptoms. I did call Pedigree after seeing the reviews all posted here within the same time frame that my little one became ill. We will see if anything is done. I also called my vet to alert them to all of the complaints. If any of you still have your bags/cans, please post the manufacturing code, posted under the "Best By" date. Ours was a newer bag of food. I should have figured it out, but you trust these people.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS DOG FOOD! We opened a can of Puppy Lamb with Rice wet food to mix with dry kibbles. Within a couple hrs, the wet food was so filled with maggots that it was literally moving. Fortunately, our dog refused to eat it. We disposed of the remainder of the canned food; however, the company should not be allowed to be in business.

I have been feeding my dogs purina one for yrs. Had a coupon for Pedigree Adult so I bought a 50 lb bag of Roasted chicken, rice & vegetable flavor. I closely mixed the food a little a time with my purina one to switch and try the Pedigree. Within days I noticed all my dogs started to getting the runs and loss of bladder control. Then my our reed Lab starting puking a red colored puke! When I took the dry food and wettened the red it didn't dissolve it turned a gummy texture. I do believe the red morsels are what has effected them, maybe the additive for the coloring of the red morsels. I do not trust the brand anymore and don't like seeing my dogs having sickness and red runny diarrhea. I bought the product at walmart and have since went back to Purina One! I'm in shock to see all the complaints and deaths presumed to be caused by Pedigree!

I have been feeding my dog Pedigree Chopped Ground Dinner - beef and chicken - and she has throw up everytime. When I feed her Alpo she is fine. What is the process for getting this food recalled, given the multitude of complaints.

My husband bought a 50lb dog food of Pedigree and we have fed our dogs basically the same food - just different flavor since all 3 of our dogs have been puppies. Yesterday 7/14/2016 I had to put down my 11 yr old Shepherd/Chow mix which we have had since she was 4 weeks old. All 3 of my dogs had 2 servings of the dry dog food and all got very sick with throwing up and having diarrhea. I had to take my dog to the vets because she started throwing up and had diarrhea which was pure blood. I am reporting this to the company and if they do not do what's right I will get a lawyer involved and the news stations as well. I want everyone to know how bad this food is. Please take your dogs off this flavor. I don't want anyone to endure the pain of losing a family pet like my family and I have had too. Sincerely, A very hurt customer.

My husband bought some Pedigree ground dog food. I have a golden retriever. I normally cook up some dog food but have been down for a few weeks. I only give about 1 T mixed in with dry food. I didn't get through the first can. On the 3rd day (last night) my dog started having severe diarrhea and throwing up, is running a fever. I am taking him to the vet this afternoon. He has never had this! He is 7 years old. I am not happy at all and am taking the can in so that hopefully it can be tested! I am happy I looked here to see everyone else's problems. With all these complaints this can not be coincidental. My sister had the same problem with the Pedigree this past with her dog and they live in OH. Terrible for our dogs!!!

Well I bought me 7 cans of Pedigree Homestyle Meals for my 1-year-old Labrador Mixed and I also bought her a bag of Old Glory dry dog food. Well at feeding time I mixed her a can of the wet dog food with the dry dog food and she ate it with no problems. Yeah she had to go out a few times and she was gaining weight cause she hardly does. Well last night (July 3rd) she was having to go out and she has had the runs and also she's been throwing up mostly the wet food until now that she's only been throwing up the clear white foamy stuff and I have been keeping an eye on her since then. I am gonna give her some rice with Chicken broth to help her with her tummy and hope that she gets better. Please, I urge you DO NOT buy any Pedigree wet dog food cause it will make your dog very sick.

I have four dachshunds that I have feed your chicken and vegetables for years. The last two weeks my dogs have been having diarrhea, gas and just not their self. Some vomiting. Took them off food, all symptoms stop. Bought new bag, symptoms came back. After a visit to vet, the Dr. said stop all dog food and gave medication. Something is wrong with your dog food, needs to be checked out. Will not be buying it again.

Hi! I have had a terrible experience with the purchase I made a week before Father's Day of Pedigree. Two of my 11 month old pitbulls pups died within a day apart, on June 9th and June 10th. I tried giving them rice and boiling chicken, ** as antibiotic, ** to alter the diarrhea, and lowering the fever with cool towels. My dogs became lethargic, eyes dilated, bloody watery stool with a foul smell worse than something died, no appetite, vomiting foamy clear fluid They would drink water but would vomit it up within an hour or less, and would have bowel movements on themselves while laying down. They both were brothers and one of them became so weak till he could not move at all and his mouth was purple. They were non responsive to my calls as they are sweet, energetic babies and I've had them since birth.

I have 2 large dogs (German Shepherd & cattle dog). We have been feeding them Pedigree for a few months now with no problems. I purchased a bag at the local big box store 2 weeks ago. Shortly after feeding them from that bag they both developed diarrhea with blood & they started vomiting. I stopped the dog food and fed them chicken and rice. The diarrhea stopped. I fed them the dog food and the diarrhea came back. After a trip to the vet he recommended I stop Pedigree. I will not purchase this product again. For both dogs to get sick with same symptoms at the same time and for the symptoms to disappear from both dogs after stopping this food. Makes me believe this is a TAINTED batch of food. We are hoping that the dogs do not have any lingering health problems.

I have (had) 3 dogs. I have had other dogs through the years and for many, many years fed Pedigree dry dog food (puppy and adult) to my dogs with great results. This past December 2015 my Blue Heeler totally stopped eating and I ended up at 3 different vets without truly finding out what was wrong with her. Liver and kidney failure were obvious...she died in February 2016. Shortly after the Heeler became ill, the Border Collie began having breathing issues and shortly afterwards...so did the Jack Russell. I have always trusted Pedigree but I have decided to move my dogs off Pedigree...was even feeding them some can Pedigree to coax them to eat. I now have a new pup, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I am switching, as of yesterday, to Victor Dog Food. Victor Dog Food is more expensive than Pedigree, but a sick dogs' vet bills are more. Plus the anguish of caring for a very sick dog is heartrending.

This dog food caused my dog to have breathing problems. I changed her over to also prime cuts and her breathing problems instantly stopped... if you run this under hot water it automatically dissolves and turn a very nasty color... didn't used to do this. I did buy this from Walmart.

Been feeding Pedigree to both our pets, a miniature American Eskimo and Lhasa Apso for awhile. On June 8, 2016 we first fed our Lhasa Apso a portion of canned Pedigree Chicken and rice, while our Eski ate a different brand and flavor. The next day our Lhasa became very sick with bloody explosive diarrhea, while at the same time we fed our Eski a portion of the same food the Lhasa had the day before. Later on that night our Eski also became seriously ill with the same symptoms. We have since been following directions from the vet in order to try and get them through this.

Our dog has been on Pedigree Filet Mignon for some time. Just in last week. He's started being extremely restless, acting like he has a urinary problem, little blood on rectum, diarrhea, stomach problems, whining, running like about to die. Took him off that food for 24 hrs. and he started acting like old self. Gave him a half can this evening and problems started again. I think something serious is wrong with the food. It needs checked cause our dog was about to die from it. There is something wrong.

Help... I have fed my dogs Pedigree chicken hard dog food for years. Never had any problems. I bought a can of soft food also chicken for first time ever thinking a treat for them. My chihuahua had a seizure last night sleeping and is acting strange today. My Great Dane is acting lethargic, and my Chi-pit seems okay but keeps rubbing his face on floor. What is up with that. Now I am scared to death to feed them anymore Pedigree, hard or soft. I am going to do rice and chicken for a few days until I can find another natural dog food. I am on limited income and now need to return the dog food if they will take it back. Why is nothing being done about this?

I have given my dogs Pedigree for years and had no problem but now my dogs are having seizures, and 2 of them have developed diabetes in the last few months. Had anyone else had this happen? I find it hard to believe that 2 out of 7 dogs have developed it so close together. I also had one dog that died last year suddenly after vomiting for 2 days - took her to the vet, did what was recommended and still lost her! I no longer feed them Pedigree but for some the damage is already done!

Went to Wal-Mart to get our 4 yr old pit bull dog food. They were out of her usual brand so I got the Pedigree adult chicken, rice and vegetable dog food as I thought Pedigree was a reputable brand. After 2 weeks of being on the food she got real bad gas and now she is panting and terrible diarrhea. We are going to go buy her usual brand and start her on chicken and rice for now. But will not ever buy Pedigree again!

My dog has always slept on my bed. We changed her over to Pedigree wet dog food because she simply won't eat any brand of dry food. We noticed she began wetting the bed, just a small spot here and there then it grew out of control. No matter where she laid down her bladder leaked. It was to the point we tried medications to no avail and the vet suggested surgery to check for deformities that may be causing it. We wanted to think about it. We decided to try some things first. We continued doggie diapers just to protect bedding, flooring, and furniture as well as pads on the places she laid down in case the diapers leaked.

Our 7 year old chow chow is very sick right now, vomiting and diarrhea.

I begin to feed my dog Pedigree dog food (chicken and vegetables flavor) a week ago. Two days later my pitbull begin to have a high fever and stop eating. The next day after she had gotten worse. She use to be full of energy jumping around and playing all day long. She begin to lay around thru out the day. She wouldn't even respond to my call or anything. Then she begin to have diarrhea and started vomiting. She begin very weak to the point she couldn't hardly stand, and when she did at times she would stagger. On day two she threw up all thru out the night. I went days with getting the proper rest because I had to be up all night with her. Day three I took her to the vet. After testing her for parvo and heartworms they couldn't find nothing wrong with her. They gave her a shot to bring down the fever and antibiotic pills.

I rescued my dog when he was 10 months old, back in 2010. My dog Joey was part chihuahua and mini pin. Joey was my baby and as such I took special care in his food and health. I have fed him nothing but Pedigree dog food. Last October 2015 I woke up to take him outside for a potty break, he could not even stand on his 4 legs. I had to carry him outside and hold him up while he did his business. This concerned me that I rushed him to the vet, they did tests on him and guess what? Liver failure, he was at 8% liver function. According to the vet, his liver failure was brought on by poisonous toxins.

Hi I am Flavio. I just gave my dog Pedigree dog food. My dog had diarrhea and vomiting.

Adult chicken, rice and veggie flavor - Our 15 month old Pit Bull Terrier has been on Pedigree since he was a pup. Within the last two bags (month and a half) he has had major blowouts of diarrhea and vomiting -- more than once over the course of a day. We thought it was other dog treats and some people food that weren't agreeing with him. The vet said he may just have a sensitive stomach and to only feed him dog food. However, after being solely on this food for 2 weeks and continuing to have these blowouts, it has to be the food. I checked, expiration dates were good. I'm not sure what's happened within the past month of the Pedigree bags, since previously he's been fine with them. Will be switching to rice and boiled chicken for a while. Thanks for the other reviews to help us confirm.

I always buy Dentastix Original Treats as reward for my dogs and they love it. Went to the supermarket yesterday to buy a pack but decided to try Dentastix Fresh Treats. Gave them immediately to my four dogs in our house, giving them just half of the whole piece each. They all had diarrhea a few hours after and they don't want to eat it again. There may be some ingredients in this Dentastix variant that is bad or spoiled. I would not buy this kind of treat again.

I just got off the phone with the Mars Company and I have been told there are no current recalls on their BEEF canned food. I have also spoke with my vet and have been told to monitor both girls to ensure hydration and to call him at ANYTIME if they get worse, start both on boiled chicken and rice and to DISCONTINUE THE PEDIGREE!!

I purchased a 50 pound bag of Pedigree Adult Chicken, Rice, & Vegetable flavor dog food for my yellow lab two weeks ago because the store was out of his regular brand. My dog began drinking excessive amounts of water. He became very lethargic to the point of not being able to stand up on his own. I ended up taking him to an emergency pet care clinic, where he was put on I.V. I was told that if I had not brought him in when I did, he would have died! He is home now, back on his regular brand dog food, and doing much, much better. NO MORE PEDIGREE for me!!!

I have two dogs. Just purchased Pedigree chunky ground dinner with beef, bacon and cheese (13.2 oz can) from local walmart - both of my dogs are sick... Diarrhea and throwing up and I also purchased Pedigree adult roasted chicken, rice and vegetable flavor (bagged food, 15 lb bonus size). Now I don't know if the food was getting both of them sick, so I went to different walmart and purchased more cans of Pedigree, and they won't even eat it, so I went out and bought a different brand of dog food, and they ate it. I will update you if they are still having diarrhea. The Pedigree can serial numbers are bb020918213 and 606ekkcc0223cc/the bag food number is 23100/10944 (bar code - 023100109442). I live in New Jersey. If anybody else is have issue with this dog food, please let me know.

My 3 dogs have been eating Pedigree dry dog food for years. Purchased a bag at Target in middle of March. Just opened this new bag 5 days ago and noticed they haven't been eating it the last few days and my large dog has been getting in the garbage and countertops which isn't her normal behavior. I'm not sure about bowel movements since they go out in a fenced in yard. However, something is definitely not right with this bag. Can't read any of the numbers on bag. Had a small bag of the Pedigree small bites and put in bowl beside the other today and they gobbled that one down.

In early Mar, 16 I purchased the large bag (53# I think) of Pedigree at Sam's Club in Oklahoma City. My 8 yr old Border Collie has had diarrhea since she started on this new bag. We have used Pedigree for years so we thought it must be something else. Since it started when she started the new bag, got better when she went on rice diet, then came back when we put her back on the Pedigree and has persisted, we feel it must be this bag is bad. Probably done with Pedigree after our experience and after reading about others with similar recent problems.

I have 23 dogs I have rescued over the past 5 years. I had fed Purina dog chow in the past but my dogs became sick and began throwing up and having diarrhea. I discontinued that dog food soon after the dogs became ill and started them on Pedigree. At first everything seemed fine. But in the last 6 months, I have had all of the dogs at one time or the other throwing up and having diarrhea. I couldn't be certain it was the dog food because the water company put in new pipes and I thought they might be getting sick from additives in the water. But it has continued long since the pipes have been installed.

best by 10 16 16 22 2. 542g2kkm 06 04:40. Thank You. If you could look into this, I have 5-6 lbs. left but won't dare unzip it.

A few days ago a friend gave us two cases of Pedigree with Beef Canned Dog Food, he said it made his dog vomit so they quit feeding it to her thinking perhaps she just had a sensitive stomach. We have fed some of it to our 5 Huskies and we are getting the same result. This food is the only change in their diet and routine so I believe it is the cause of their illness. We will quit feeding it and follow up. After reading numerous reviews saying the same thing it sounds like there should be a recall.

Two weeks ago I purchased the Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition Chicken Flavor Dry Dog Food 46.8 Lb from PetSmart. She has previously eaten the same brand but from smaller bag sizes but within 12 hours of feeding it to my 14 year old Pit Bull she became violently ill. She had yellow mucus diarrhea that lasted over 48 hours. My vet advised to keep her hydrated and if it became bloody to bring her in. I feed her nothing but rice and boiled chicken for 4 days before she finally had normal bowel movements. Now she is on Beneful and doing fine. I would never feed my dog Pedigree again.

I tried Pedigree Adult as a last resort when Target didn't have any healthy alternatives. I knew everything on their shelves for dogs was dirt, but wasn't sure about Pedigree. I grabbed a small bag to make it through a day or two until I could get his normal food. Our dog eats anything and everything. He's had diarrhea when sick before but overall was fine (can't say the same for my floors). I noticed even though I knew he was really hungry he wouldn't really go near the food. I thought probably b/c my husband was away. A day later I noticed he finally had eaten some of the food. The next morning a little more. After consuming not more than 1.5 cups in less than 24 hours we came home to poo and pee all over and he was barely able to stand. Wouldn't take any treats or any other food.

I have been feeding my 3 Giant Alaskan Malamutes Pedigree Adult Dog Food in the 50 lb (properly stored, and only lasts 2 weeks) bag since August and in the last few weeks they are not eating as much as they should, lately 1-2 cups per day or not at all. They weigh 105, 130 & 180 lbs (not fat). One of my females has a rash and the hair is falling out. In the last few days all 3 dogs have been vomiting. Tried calling customer support and was told it's not the food and it could be your dogs toys or raw hides making them sick. First my dogs don't get raw hides because of the chemicals in them and they cannot digest them anyway. I could understand 1 dog getting sick and it not be the food, but not all 3. We have done our due diligence to be sure it is not something here at our home. I will never recommend this food nor will I ever buy it again. The problem is finding a food not linked to the same parent company.

Last night, I opened 3 cans of Pedigree canned dog food. I divided into two dishes, with the spoon I began cutting/stirring it up to make smaller chunks when I saw what looked like rubber tubing. It is & after going thru it, I found many many pieces of rubber, some large chunks & others smaller. I'm physically sick over this. I've been feeding my babies this since 2010. Never again, now I'm in constant worry for my dog's health. My big male has not been himself for 1-2 weeks.

I have been feeding my dog which is a Pomeranian, Pedigree Small Breed in the small bags. After a month or two ago I noticed that he wouldn't eat as much food as he normally does. Lately he has been lethargic, drinking more water than I can put down, and peeing a lot! His fluffy black coat of fur is patchy and seems to fall out more. Now I have had my dog for close to a year or two, have tried different foods, and found that for a while he liked the Pedigree Small Breed food. Now it's a struggle to get him to eat it.

I have eight dogs, three rottweilers and five chihuahuas. I feed Solid Gold dry food and was adding a little Pedigree canned on top, one large can a day among the eight. My rottweilers developed bloody diarrhea, like pure BLOOD, loose stools and gas. I thought that the grains in the dry food may have been part of the problem. I changed to grain free flavors, and thought that things were OK, but the bloody diarrhea continued. I stopped the Pedigree supplementation, and they have been fine since. I think that Pedigree causes the intestine to ulcerate.

Not completely positive but all else checked out so I blame this food, especially after seeing all these reviews. I typically fed my dogs Rachel Rae Nutrish or Beneful, sometimes Purina. Well I found Pedigree Adult chicken formula, 55 lb bag, at Sam's Club, Bridge St. in Syracuse, NY. I am a new member and had just visited Nov. 7 and found that last bag at $14.99, a great price.

Thought I would give Pedigree Dog Food a try since it claims to be a healthy balanced nutritional dog food. That is not the case!!! Just like the other hundreds of people who did the same, my dog became lethargic, rapidly lost weight, her gorgeous coat of fur rapidly fell out turning her coat to a greasy sticky mess! WITHIN JUST 1 WEEK OF EATING PEDIGREE DOG FOOD! DO NOT... I REPEAT... DO NOT PURCHASE THIS POISON FOR YOUR PETS!!! She is in the beginning stages of renal failure because of this garbage. I can only hope we can bring her back to the dog she was a week and a half ago! I gladly welcome anyone who wishes to contact me to do so, as I will completely fill you in on what our experience has been with Pedigree's Dog Food! This crap will kill your pet!

Back in 2013 I feed my dog some Pedigree Chicken canned dog food. He laid on the floor unable to get up and defecated all over himself. He cried one night and I found welts all over his skin. I had to wash and medicate daily. It took months to heal. I thought it was the food and said I'll never give it to him again. It is now 2015 and I bought a can thinking maybe I was wrong, maybe it wasn't that. Wrong!!! Do not feed this to your dogs unless you want to lose them!!! My Lab has been up all night barely able to breathe and diarrhea pouring out of him all night and thankfully he is still here today. After a long night of staying up with him but cannot get up, it still pours out of him. I've called a vet and I will report this. I don't know what you are doing to our dogs but this needs to be out of business.

Started using pedigree adult chicken flavored dog food about 3 months ago. All 6 of my dogs absolutely loved the food. After about the 2nd month my boxer mix, Copper, stopped eating as normal. He began drinking a lot and peeing a lot more. It made sense, more intake more output. Then maybe about 3 weeks ago I noticed terrible odor coming from Copper. I set an appt. for a dental checkup. Well last week he became lethargic and not his bubbly energetic self. Started losing weight quickly.

After buying the usual large bag of Pedigree Dog food, I noticed my one dog turning away from the food. He is a hardy eater, and this was apparently a sign something was wrong. But I dismissed it for something else like maybe parasites. His condition worsened in less than a day and by the time the vet looked at him, the bacteria had grown rapidly in his GI tract. He did survive with appropriate action and medication. Now that he is getting back to normal, I have noticed my other dog having a lack of appetite. Has to be the dog food! I have always fed Pedigree for the last 15 years and never had a problem. This only makes me more confused about this. There is something different in the chunks, so another dog food will be used instead.

Pedigree is the best dog food. Always use for my dogs at home and the impact is very positive because it keeps good health of my dogs. The description of Pedigree dog food is as simple as an eye blink rate and I personally just feed my dogs at least once in a day so that they don't usually mess up with digestion system when overtaken.

I bought the Pedigree canned dog food for my older Yorkie because he was having problems chewing his IAMs dry dog food. The same day I fed him the canned food he got extremely sick. Diarrhea with blood and mucus, vomiting, lethargic. I thought we were going to lose him. I stopped feeding him the food, took him to the vet and we had to put him on antibiotics and rice and chicken dinner ($150 vet bill, thanks Pedigree). Since taking him off the Pedigree he is much better. My vet recommends only feeding Science Diet. There is something definitely wrong with the canned dog food that Pedigree has made. I have seen numerous posts with the same symptoms after feeding Pedigree canned dog food.

I always appreciate nutrition, including vegetables, in my dog's food. I believe the meat is important - no byproducts that so many of the foods have.

Please do not think that I am "picking" on the Pedigree brand, because that is not my intention! I am simply giving you the facts and hoping you take something (knowledge) away from this and pass the info along so more people are aware of the hidden dangers of buying some of the "cheapest" dog food. Well, about 8 months ago, I was sitting downstairs about, maybe 1:30am and I heard my dog (Ebore is his name) throwing up upstairs and all I thought is, "OH MY GOD MY CARPET!" So I run up the stairs and see him trying to throw up but nothing is coming up. I urge him out the front door and into the yard and he continues to try throwing up, but nothing is coming up. I tell him, "it is ok," reassure him I am there and run to get him some water.

I bought Pedigree canned puppy food for my two senior dogs (both are 15) because I figured it would be easier on their system than regular. Both have lost their appetite and have bloody diarrhea. I'm sure that it's the food because I have other dogs that don't get canned and they are fine. They are the only ones with a problem and the only ones that ate that canned puppy food. Please let me know what's going on.

We normally buy a different brand of dog treats than Pedigree though I thought I would try them as there was a $2 coupon available for packages under 6 ounces and Wal-Mart did not have Greenies. I did not read the ingredients in their Dentastix beforehand. Our dog who travels with us in a semi truck and is very healthy threw up twice. I read the ingredients and there are two food dyes. Not sure why as color does not matter to Lil Bit or myself. She has had no other new diet changes. I believe she became sick from the dyes and will not purchase Pedigree again and will give the above info to others. IF they remove the dyes I will consider trying the product again though I am not inclined to use our dog as a laboratory rat.

Corn is the main ingredient in Pedigree foods. It made my dog's poop very soft and soggy and light-colored. It also made his eyes form eye-boogers every day. I have since switched to another brand that does not have corn in it, and his poop is now a healthy, solid, darker-colored poop. And his eyes do not produce nearly as many eye-boogers. I am very disappointed in my experience with Pedigree. I don't like that they try to pass their product off as natural and healthy for dogs, when a lot of dogs are sensitive to that much corn in their food. Heck, a lot of people would sensitive that much corn product in their food.

My lab puppy four month old suddenly started hair fall and was not getting cured by any medicine. I suspected his shampoo and pedigree. I stopped both and vet gave antibiotics. My puppy was on rice and soya bean and everything became normal in one month. I purchased Pedigree large breed milk and chicken and fed few hundred grams. Within couple of days hair fall started again. Severely. I stopped Pedigree and wrote to Pedigree about this. The executive nicely explained how to take care of hairfall situation (which I already knew from last episode). and explained how pedigree is healthy food for my lab. I fed very small quantity of Pedigree and my puppy threw it by omitting. I confirmed that there is something wrong with Pedigree. Executive promised to forward my case to his technical team. Please suggest other good brand.

Our 4 Shih Tzu loves these products. The way I see it, it's like they're tooth brushing while chewing these sticks. It's a great way to prevent them to get bored and get gnaw everything they find. It really makes their teeth clean and white. No build-ups from the dog food they eat.

I have used Pedigree products for over 11 years with no problems until this last bag I purchased. Now my dog is very sick and we don't know if she is going to survive. Severe diarrhea, vomiting and very weak. My daughter said she purchased the same type of Pedigree I had and her dog started vomiting so she went back to a more expensive brand and now her dog is doing much better. So I researched the Pedigree adult Dry Dog food and was horrified at what I read. My vet couldn't find anything wrong but after reading the problems everyone else is having and seeing the same thing in my dog, I checked the food and found that it has what a Pedigree representative is calling pig hair all in the dog food. I will let my vet know what I found. I have stopped giving her the Pedigree. Hopefully it's not too late. I will NEVER use Pedigree again and am very disappointed and upset that Pedigree is not taking all the complaints more serious.

I own 3 dogs. All eat the dog food listed. Food offers good weight control. Have used for three years. They do not get tired of the food?

We have 2 mixed breed dogs. One is a puppy that we got a month ago and the other is 2 yrs old. I started the 2 yr old on Pedigree chicken-flavored, hard food for small dogs a couple months ago and she has been fine. We recently purchased the Pedigree Little Champions soft packs for the puppy. We mix it with some hard food and even give some to the 2 yr old so she won't feel left out. This is the second day feeding this food to our dogs and the puppy is lethargic and has the runs and the 2 yr old won't go near it. Something is wrong with this food and it's very obvious just by reading these reviews. If my dogs get worse someone WILL be held accountable. I will not feed them anymore Pedigree products.

I've used Pedigree for at least 20 years. It's a good "middle of the road" type of food. It seems to agree with their digestion. I am an "old dog rescue". I've accepted donated foods of all kinds that have not agreed with my dogs and have caused upset stomachs to diarrhea. In the last year I no longer buy or accept any other brand of food. I use both wet and dry together.

My older dog had some skin and coat problems, and he was throwing up some, so I started to supplement his dry food with Pedigree canned food in the type called Pedigree + Healthy Digestion Ground Entree for dogs. It made a lot of difference in his health. He liked the food. The cans were a good portion size (13.2 ounces) for a large dog and he ate it eagerly. He would come to life when he saw that he was about to get a can, and his whole back end would wag. I could tell he liked the taste. It has almost a wet taco meat type texture, and he liked it poured over his dry food. I liked that it had fiber and rice in the formula and that when he ate it, the daily vomiting stopped, and his coat began to grow back and look better. I fed him one can a day.

I've been buying pedigree small breed dog food for years. About 8 to be exact. Just in the last month I've noticed a big difference in my animals. I have 3 chihuahuas. One 13 years, the second 10 years and my youngest at 4 years. My pups all started showing signs of fur loss. Like I literally could have filled a pillow with their fur. No joke. But this week really scared me. Molly (my youngest) displayed flu-like characteristics. Loose/runny stools, vomiting, and extreme urination starting on Thursday. She is normal happy, healthy, and bouncy (receiving the nickname "Mexican jumping bean") so I figured okay she might have the flu. She didn't want to eat on Thursday which I figured it's from the flu. But she was still drinking water. Okay good right? Wrong, Friday morning all water drinking ceased and she decided she wanted to sleep more often and couldn't control her urine output or vomiting. And her stools became even more runny.

We give our two dogs Border collies Butchers tin food, half a tin each every morning and Pedigree Vital Adult Beef complete mix every evening. These are crunchy and good for their teeth and they both enjoy them.

I have used more expensive dog food like Eukanuba and Iams, but Pedigree seems to satisfy them. Rottie's have a tendency to be gassy with some foods. I haven't had that problem when I feed them Pedigree. I would never feed my dogs Alpo and I do not recommend it at all. It seems to the worse on a dog's stomach.

I came home to find that my small dog had diarrhea and did not finish eating her food from this morning. I opened a can of this food and feed some to her in the AM & PM yesterday & again this morning. I'm just concerned as I have fed this food to her for over 13 years & this never happened. I bought @ $ store in Pgh. Any similar situations?

No problems with dog - loves it. This food is great, never had a problem with. Dog is always energetic and playful. A handful of joy. It is very easy to feed and he likes it.

My ended up with welts all over her, had difficulty breathing. Had to pay for emergency vet which is very expensive particularly seeing I am a single parent one income family. Both dogs were passing wind and smelled terrible as well as the runs.

We purchased the Pedigree Complete Nutrition puppy chicken flavor food in the 16.3 lb bag at Walmart on 10/23/15 (Sat). Mild D started on Monday. By Tuesday we were at the Vet after a full morning of continuous vomiting and loose bowels. Our 18 week old Lab mix is dehydrated and has an infection which is currently being treated with antibiotics. As of this evening he is lethargic and sleeping quite a bit. He's also not eating. We will be returning to the vet on Wed after reading the reviews on this website to let them know what we are dealing with.

We have 3 dogs and it is hard to find one that all 3 can eat and that won't break the bank. Beneful was working well, but then bad publicity forced us to switch to Pedigree. At times an upset stomach or two, but overall we will stick with this brand.

This is one of better grocery store brands. My dog, 3 years old, female lab mix, has a very sensitive stomach and it is the best brand I can afford. The only thing else she needs is a few servings per week of a healthy oil. Her coat is good as is the rest of her health. I don't like that the bags break and for a large dog and large bags this is an issue. Less expensive brands have given her gi issues and she has thrown up. We have tried several pedigree dry mixes and she does well.

We have been wondering why our 2 dogs, both around 9 years old, have been getting sick and getting a horrible rash on their bellies, tail, and hind quarters. They are very itchy, have been getting the runs, and a lot of gas. We took them to the vet, and he said it was no disease but asked us what they are eating. (no fleas, etc.) I then Googled their food Pedigree, and bingo! This is IT. We have now stopped feeding them this poison, we didn't realize was. How can this company put animals and their owners thru this? We want action like everyone else. We love our dogs, a black Lab and an Australian Shepherd.

I have 2 large breed dogs, english bulldog, and a french mastiff. I have always had large dogs. I have tried ALL types of food from Blue Buffalo to raw meat, and other different things. What I have found is that if you shop at a warehouse type store, costco, bj's, with the Pedigree you get a lot for your money. The dogs enjoy it. I have not a problem with it at all. Occasionally I will mix in some raw meat, or "dog meat" loaves that you can get at the pet stores, cut it up and mix it in for a treat. The dogs love it and again it appears to be a good value for your dollar.

My 4 month old puppy began vomiting, diarrhea, walking & running on 3 legs, tilted head after 3rd day of consuming Pedigree puppy formula purchased at Target. I would like to have the dog food tested & my dog tested and treated. Call store or mfg?

This month I purchased some chicken flavor Pedigree puppy food, and now my dog is extremely lethargic, gassy and has diarrhea. She has been eating it since Wednesday, and now she has blood in her stool and she can't control her bowels. This food needs to be removed from sale. I bought it from Food Lion.

Good dog food and I like it. It makes my dog's coats shine and they seem to have plenty of energy. Pedigree is fair priced, but I wish they made a product dog food that didn't have corn in its ingredients.

My dog has allergies so we need to change his dog food to not contain wheat. We are currently working with our veterinarian to get a more favorable dog food for his system. Our previous dog was Pedigree forever with no issues however our current dog needs a different food that contains more natural products for his system.

I have said this dog food to my Great Dane who is now 13 years old and as my veterinarian tells me don't change a thing! Generally Great Danes average lifespan is 7 to 8 years old. Apparently their dog food has been good enough to keep her healthy beyond average.

I have been feeding my dogs for over 25 years Pedigree, and never had a problem. The dog food is of a quality standard and will continue to use Pedigree dog food.

On Friday, October 9, 2015, I gave my dog Pedigree small dog chicken flavor dog food for the first time and he enjoyed it while eating about a cup. The next day on Saturday he was throwing up and did not touch the food nor did he eat it on Sunday. He was looking somewhat lethargic and still throwing up. Monday I mixed the dog food with some rice I boiled and he ate some of the food only to throw it up within a few minutes.

My dog started eating and three days later he start throwing up and having diarrhea. My dog also start losing weight because he stop eating. My dog is now whining and looks horrible. He is getting skinny and his eyes are red. Something needs to be done.

We couldn't figure out why our dog's hair was falling out. Wasn't until I got him off Pedigree Pal Dry Food that it started growing back after months of balding. A few months ago we had him on Pal Canned Food, and you guessed it, he lost so much weight he looked neglected. It's poison to dogs.

My three dogs are very sick from eating the 55lb. bag of Pedigree chicken flavor from Costco. I am a fan of Pedigree dog food and have been for many years. This is the first time I've had a bad reaction from Pedigree. I fed my dogs 2 cups of Pedigree at night, they ate it up as usual. About 20 min. later my hound dog threw it up, and ate it again. A couple of hours later, she threw up again. That night my second dog had an accident in the house (which she never has). The next morning I gave them each a small portion and 2 of the dogs refused to eat it. The hound went ahead and ate it again, then threw it up again.

On 9/26/15, my dog Maggie was healthy and chipper. I fed her a new can of Pedigree with chunky beef dog food. Maggie threw it all up. Her health immediately deteriorated. She was in pain, could not stand up, had trouble breathing and had gelatin looking stool. 24 hours later she was dead. This food was the only change in her diet and care. The ingredients in the Pedigree canned food killed my dog Maggie. The batch numbers on the can is BB 060817 21 3, 5240KKCD 0548BB.

We have been feeding our big dogs Pedigree dog food for a couple of months. We noticed that they would hardly eat, but we thought it was the warm weather and never considered there might be something wrong with the dog food. Our Rottweiler mix dog got extremely sick, started with bloody diarrhea then onto vomiting. Quit eating and was extremely lethargic. Then he would try and squat to go poop about every 5 min and nothing would come out. So we brought him to the vet to find out what was wrong with him. She put him on Metronidazole and famotidine and also Sucralfate. And suggested we feed him chicken, rice.

I am not really complaining.. I would just like to tell you about the danger of your small bite bags - the one with the zip in. My friend of mine lost her german shepherd - she stuck her head in it and couldn't get it back off and suffocated. It was accident but a horrible one. And our life is saving dogs. So I hope you can change the design.

Bought adult dry 50lbs 3 days ago. Dogs got diarrhea. Called Pedigree said nothing new. "Check daily for salmonella". Thought it was new. Tried to feed dogs. Dogs refused to eat it. Bad food. As a point of interest we lost a westie in May. She wouldn't eat - had to hand-feed her. Liver/kidney failure. She was in perfect health? Now our lab and 3 westies are refusing to eat it. DIARRHEA. HOW DO YOU REPORT BAD FOOD? Can't afford vet bills. Getting my dogs off this stuff. Hope it's not too late. I'm notifying the news, taking the food back to Costco. Put in halt chicken flavor 50 lbs. If my dogs get sicker I'm getting a lawyer.

I purchased a small bag of pedigree dog food last week. My dog has been eating this brand for over a year. My dog began having severe diarrhea, including pooping large amounts of blood and vomiting. He was rushed to an emergency vet. He needed IV meds overnight and nearly died. When I went to the pedigree Facebook page to get company info to contact, I was shocked to see hundreds of posts in the last month, all the exact same thing!!! Where is my consumer protection? Pedigree, when I spoke with them claims the wires in my dogs food are pig hairs? They had a formula change etc. I am outraged! What can I do to get this product pulled off shelves! I still have dog food here! As proof.

Both of my dogs got deathly sick within 2 hours of each other. My dogs have been eating Pedigree canned dog food for more than 2 months. After I fed them out of a new can BB 060417 21 2 523GKKCC 2046CM Chopped Combo with Chicken, Beef, and Liver for breakfast, by 3 PM same day one dog started throwing up and having diarrhea and then within 2 hours my other dog had same reaction. I held food from them for 24 hours and introduced plain chicken and boneless skinless chicken breast. However they continued with the diarrhea for a week. Three days after they got sick they both stopped eating for two days on their own. After 5 days and they got no better, I took them and samples of their diarrhea to the Vet. The Vet advised there was seeds in their diarrhea. No parasites or anything found.

I gave my chihuahua Marrowbone dog treats for a special treat, thinking that Pedigree was a good, brand-name item. She got sick after eating them the first time, but I didn't connect her upset stomach with the treats. Tonight, two more Marrowbone treats, and again, she is sick. This time seems much worse than the first time. I'll be monitoring her tonight, and if she's not better by morning, I'll have to take her to the vet.

I weaned the new food into my dog's diet. This was the worst mistake of my life. After one week both dogs different breeds started urinating in the house and vomiting and were lethargic. After two days of stopping the food all symptoms disappeared. I felt like I poisoned my dogs.

I purchased a 50# bag of dry adult formula Pedigree at Walmart last month. Same food I've given Annie since we rescued her over a year ago. But the new formula seems to have made her very sick. After a $200+ vet bill to find "nothing" wrong with her that they could find. She didn't get sick for the 2 days that she was on special wet food & meds from the vet. She turned up her nose at the Pedigree for 2 more days & then she ate Pedigree again today & threw up several times. Worse than the 5 days of sickness before I took her to the vet. I have nothing else to contribute her illness to. So I will be going to the store today to get a different kind of dog food. I pray that it's not too late, after seeing where dogs are going into kidney failure. Very sad.

Our German Shepherd mix and our boxer mix dogs have gotten very, very sick since eating Pedigree. They've been throwing up and have had diarrhea. We are very mad about this and didn't wanna even rate this HORRIBLE DOG FOOD. We bought a 50 lb bag of Pedigree hard dog food.... Gonna be contacting the company immediately.

14 yr old lad RIP this August. My dog was just sprinting the fields steps jumping up at this age living healthy until I change the food thinking more expensive means better top of line. Well large lump appeared from nowhere then she stopped eating and just laid there. She refused the dog food that ailed her. I did not know about plastics and road kill and wires In their food until it's too late!!! Mad as hell. She at least is in peace now.

We have fed our dog (3) Pedigree for 2 years now. We buy the largest bag about every 12 days. About two months ago we first noticed our English bull had red bumps or blisters on his belly and we thought perhaps he had gotten into red ants. He lost his hair on those areas and on his paws. Several days later he and our boxer bulls began eating grass every morning and would occasionally vomit. This past Saturday our female boxer bull was covered with red bumps, blisters on her mouth, face and body. I immediately started her on a rice and boiled chicken diet and benadryl. Today is Wednesday and she is better but they are all still lethargic. We have stopped the Pedigree. The chicken flavor is no good and making dogs very sick. We now need to dispose of 30lbs of dog food. We had already thrown the receipt out.

I'm very sad to read all the posts about the pig hair in the dog food. I just chose this dog food because "meat" was in the top three ingredients. I thought I was making a good decision to purchase this food. Then I was really grossed out when I saw all the "pig hairs" in MY dog food bag. I'll never purchase this again.

I have been feeding my pug Pedigree since I got him as a puppy and out of the blue, his stools became full of mucous. As he was acting fine and drinking and being as energetic as usual, I placed him on a 12-hour starvation with only water and then placed him on a chicken and rice diet, to then go onto Chappie chicken and rice to settle his stomach. After a week, he seemed to get better and there was no evidence of mucous in his stools so we decided to introduce Pedigree again as we had just bought in bulk 24 cans! With only 25% Pedigree, the mucous came back with even more of a vengeance and I have now got him booked in with the vets. Looking at other reviews, I have now realised it's not the dog and it's in fact the dog food that we TRUSTED Pedigree to give our beloved pet. I hope they do something about it, even going back to an old recipe. But at least recall any new batches.

I purchased Pedigree dry dog food for my three senior Scottish Terriers several weeks ago, believing that I should provide them with food appropriate for their ages. I chose Pedigree after reading the manufacturer's claims that Pedigree would provide all of my dogs' nutritional needs. My dogs were reluctant to eat the new food, but I assumed it was because they were transitioning. Within a short period of time, my 14 year old Scottie, who had been in EXCELLENT health, started acting differently, lost weight, began vomiting, and stopped eating altogether. We took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Despite all efforts and $500+ in vet bills, our dog suffered a seizure and had to be euthanized less than one week after the diagnosis. We are heartbroken.

I bought this dog food because it was on sale plus I wanted to use a coupon. I have three dogs at home and I buy a lot of dog food. This is what happens for trying to save a few dollars. My main complaint is that my pitbull's fur fell off and her paws became swollen after eating Pedigree. I went back to Purina puppy chow and her hair started growing back again. My poor doggy also had diarrhea!!!

Our beloved dog has become very sick from eating Pedigree and our hearts are broken!!! I hope that Pedigree will not continue to poison people's pets and will take this food off the market. Our pets are like our children to us and we cannot allow for Pedigree to continue killing our pets because of big companies that have no laws and are out to only make money!!!

We have a Siberian Husky and a Pitbull. My fiance ran out of dog food on their way to camp so he stopped and bought some canned pedigree dog food.... Our husky started getting very lethargic, dehydrated along with vomiting and diarrhea. I took him into the vet's office this afternoon and they have to keep him overnight. As I was waiting at home the vet called me and told me that his kidneys were failing. We pray to god our dog comes out of this! If not I can assure you I will be going after Pedigree fighting them tooth and nail! Our poor boy is so sick :( This they were fed the canned food this past weekend we are the 27 today! I would like for anybody else whose dog is having issues like mine to please contact me!

After a very long time of using Pedigree, I started to find my dog was being sick. I'm not usually one to write a review, but I'm so disgusted seeing how immensely the food developed into a deadly poison, & cannot understand after so many complaints why it is still on shelves. I have OCD, & keep my home very clean, and after my dog not touching her tinned Pedigree meals for a long time, I started to see, on two occasions, our bins would be full of maggots. Sometimes I would leave the food for over a day in case my dog got hungry. But the next day, the food would have a horrible smell and form white stuff. The brand is awful and needs to be off the shelves.

We had been feeding my dog Adult Complete Nutrition for 7 years as he seemed to like it. When they changed to the new formula with green pieces in it, he became violently ill for several days with constipation and mucous in his stool. He could barely move or eat. We then fed him chicken and rice until he got better. He was back to his normal self and then we started to feed him the new formula again. He started to get sick. I called up Pedigree and told them about it. They said the new formula is not the cause and offered a free bag of Iams. I took the free bag and donated it to a shelter and we will no longer buy Pedigree again after buying it for 7 years straight.

My Chihuahua was a hyper & active dog. I started giving her the Little Champs Pedigree pouches a few weeks ago & now she sleeps & pukes all the time. I hate that I'm harming her so I'm stopping this food & putting her back on Alpo. Hopefully she will recover the damage caused by Pedigree.

I have been feeding my dog Pedigree for years. She has recently been acting like she is not feeling well, whimpering and even had an accident in the house (which she has not done in years). She has not wanted to eat her food, but I thought she was being a finicky Boxer so ignored it. She has reluctantly been eating, but is decreasing, getting more lethargic and crying the last 2 days. I just seen the complaints about the threads in the food so decided to check. I found 2 pieces right off the bat with small white fibers. I have switched her food immediately and hope that it is not too late. I will NEVER buy Pedigree again.

I have been buying Pedigree dog food now for 5 years, having two large dogs. We use about 18 kg every two weeks. I noticed in the last bag I bought on Aug. 20th that there were wires in the kibbles. They were not in the bag I had before this one. I had looked into the previous bag when I saw people posting about it. I have called the store and they will do a refund but still nothing back from the company. NOT HAPPY!!

My parents gave us their almost full bag of Pedigree Adult Food that they had left over and so we fed that to Arya (almost 2 year old Husky) and Max (5 year old Australian Shepard). They seemed to like it so we kept them on the same brand but switched to large breed. They had a harder time chewing it so we switched them back to the original food. During all of this they both had loose stool and got sick more than they normally do. I found out about the "wires" in the food this past week and checked our bag and sure enough the whole bag was covered in them! I returned the bag (which they had been eating from for 5 days) and switched them back to Purina.

I am irate that Pedigree is able to produce and sell this product without disclosing it has metal fibers in it. After reading all of the posts online about finding things in the food, I decided to check myself and found what appears to be metal fibers. Someone need to look into this. Please.

I have been feeding my 3 dogs pedigree adult dry dog food for the past 3 yrs. Then they changed the recipe to chicken flavor. After starting to feed them the new recipe, they weren't thrilled with the food and at times refused to eat it. They had loose stools with occasional vomiting. In the middle of June 2015 my 12 yr old, Molly's appetite decreased. She became increasingly lethargic. On June 21, 2015 she stopped eating altogether. I made an appointment with my vet but within 24 hrs she had passed away. As you could imagine we were devastated, not knowing the cause of Molly's death. I am now very concerned about my other two dogs after seeing on Facebook the wire/fibers found in the pedigree dry food. Could the food have been the reason my sweet old Molly passed?

Been buying Pedigree for years. My older Border Collie had to be put down while we were on vacation. Suddenly there are several complaints about the dog food. I inspect my current bag, sight enough small black stiff hairs in numerous pieces. Severely disappointed in Pedigree and their lack of thorough research into what is causing so many health problems in dogs who consume this food.

I have fed Pedigree to my 11-month old dog since he was a puppy, and he has never had a problem digesting it. Suddenly, a few weeks ago he starts vomiting and having diarrhea every day! I think maybe he has a bug and it will pass, so I continue feeding him his normal dog food. Then I start to wonder if maybe he has grown an allergic reaction to his dog food, because he would vomiting within 15 minutes of feeding. Then I read reviews on this website and it makes me wonder EVEN MORE if maybe they changed the recipe and are putting harmful ingredients in the dog food or maybe something my dog is sensitive to! It seems there are a lot of recent reviews on this dog food. There must be something different about the food that would cause everyone's pets to start getting sick! I WILL be changing his dog food ASAP!

We bought the Pedigree adult nutrition with chicken for our dog. After a couple day he started having liquid stool. He would not eat the food any more and would just smell it and walk away. We bought him other food and he ate it. His stool has gotten better with his appetite. We have 2 pieces in a baggy, one with a dark fiber and one with a light fiber. Not sure if that is the cause.

I have a four year old Great Dane. She has been on Pedigree Dry dog adult food for the past couple of years without any problems. Since June 2015, she did not eat it as well so I bought her Pedigree for Active dogs, smaller bag and seem to really like it but I could not find it at Walmart so I bought her a smaller bag of adult dog food. She hesitated but only ate it once a day. I was running low so I went to our local food store and bought a bag of large dog for all made by Pedigree. She started eating it only once a day.

Our family purchased an American Bulldog in Feb 2015. She was such a smart girl. She was full of life an energy. In the first few months we tried a couple different foods to see what would fit our pooch the best, Pedigree involved. We decided on Purina puppy chow until she got a little bit bigger. At 6 months old which was this month, we transitioned her to Pedigree Dry Adult Nutrition 20.4lb bag. She was ok for the first few days, then started developing vomiting, not wanting to eat, or even drink water. She was very lethargic and weak and barely wanted to move. She ended up passing away and it was horrible. It looked like she was in so much pain and ended up bleeding out.

Had fed my dogs (15 yr old chocolate lab, 11 yr old pit mix) this food since they were puppies. We lost the lab last year following a few bouts of bloody diarrhea of which the vets were unable to determine cause. My pit, developed a lump on her lip a few weeks later and was treated with steroids and something like Benadryl. Symptoms somewhat resolved but never completely went away, monitored it for changes. Switched vets last year and took pit for a check-up, mentioned the lump and he also said to keep an eye on it.. biopsy if it gets worse. Can't say when I purchased another bag of food but my poor girl has had nothing but problems and vet visits for lump on her lip, scratching her face, constant panting and gastro problems over the past six months or so. Vet visits, a med and boiled chicken and rice diet, and then return to her regular Pedigree food.

Dog has metal flakes in it.

10 year old lab had diarrhea for a couple weeks then stopped eating and drinking. I took him to vet and so spent 1050.00. Needed more test run but I could not spend anymore. He won't eat any dog food now. I force feed him baked chicken but he has lost 30 pounds. He was in good health before this but now he is in pain and too old to recover from it. Will have to put him down soon. My 6 year old also got the same symptoms but I think she will be ok. She won't eat dog food either. I just found out about people finding stuff in the food today. So I looked and yes it has trash in it.

My Chihuahua is 7 years old and has been eating the Pedigree wet food. About 5 Days ago after eating, she threw up what looked like the whole wet pack of food. It was ridiculous!! I have never seen her do this. Then last night she did it again. This time her body drew sideways and her right hind leg was in the air. I was SHOCKED!! I called the vet and they told me there were problems with Pedigree food. Tonight, I found this website and couldn't believe what I was reading! I pray other people see these posts before their animal is seriously harmed!

My lab has been sick since early Saturday morning. Vomiting & very lethargic. She has ate about a tablespoon of chicken since then. My husband saw a post on Facebook about a lady finding "wire" embedded in the pieces of her dog's Pedigree food. He reminded me that the treats we purchased on Friday are this brand. I grabbed the bag (honestly thinking it was a hoax). Sure enough there is wirey stuff in almost every piece. I called my vet, who said to get there IMMEDIATELY and bring the treats. She dissected one of the pieces and looked at the wire under a microscope. It is PLASTIC, but the company is telling people it's hog hair. She is notifying the FDA herself and told us to do the same. I understand things can happen in food production but they need to at least look into this. I'm so heartbroken over this.

I use the 55-lb bags and have been using it for a few months now. My dogs look and feel terrible! Their coats are dull, they are lethargic, severe diarrhea on and off, vomiting on and off, and severe weight loss in some. When I first switched I assumed it was them getting used to a new food. Some of my dogs absolutely refuse to eat it or will eat an unusually small amount. I have ruled out any other thing that could possibly cause the problems they are having. After doing some research online I have seen several complaints about the food and exactly the same symptoms I have seen. How has there not been a recall if this many pets gotten ill? I feel so guilty that it has taken me this long to figure out what the problem is. I will never ever buy Pedigree again!

My 4 dogs have been on Pedigree for years. In the last few months the dog food changed to chicken with vegetables. Our dogs disapproved immediately and would dig through food or completely avoid it. They got diarrhea and started eating grass. It finally got better and we started a new bag. They got sicker than ever, puking and diarrhea. Vet told us to slowly move them to a different food. They are on Iams and healthy now. After Pedigree was contacted they offered me a free bag of food (via coupon) if I filled out a form. No thanks. After reading these reviews I am tossing all Pedigree and not donating to rescue.

My dogs have been on Pedigree for awhile! Tonight while on Facebook my friend had taken a picture of little pieces of metal in her dogs dry dog food. I couldn't believe it so I had to see it for myself. Checked my dogs food and sure enough same thing! (If you check you may need tweezers to get them out.) Can't believe this. And thinking back I noticed my dogs eating a lot of grass lately..

I have a 4 month old puppy and bought a bag of chicken flavored Pedigree puppy food. Couldn't figure out what was wrong but he didn't want to eat. When he finally did he had diarrhea for 2 days. He quit eating for a day. Ate it again and he has thrown up twice. Throwing it out. Going to a different brand.

I buy my pet food at Walmart. I get it in 12 packs. When I opened it today there were only 8 in the box. This is twice this has happened. The numbers on the lid is 529b14jc080946195-00. This is pouch food. I don't buy anything else because he won't eat any other food. Thank you. Proof of purchase numbers are 2310027218.

We've been feeding our pets Pedigree dog food for over 15 years now without any problems. We moved farther away from our local Walmart that sells our brand so we decided to purchase the 50 lb. bag to save on the longer trips to the store. BIG mistake. Our dog started throwing up the first night he ate it and every time since. We thought maybe he was getting into something outside that was making him sick so we started going out with him to see what he was getting into. He didn't get into anything at all. So after we came in and he ate, a short time later while in bed I felt something wet on my side. I turned the light on and there was this pile of puke all over me!

I have a 2 year old jack russell mix. She has always been on Pedigree. It never bothered her until june 2015 and I also have a 7 month on pit mix. My bf bought a bag of adult food 20.5 lb bag and my 7 month old dog had severe diarrhea and vomiting for 3 and half days and my 2 year old dog wouldn't eat the food the first day I gave it to her. She just looked at it and the next day she ate it and started to vomit. I thought maybe there's something wrong with this bag? So I threw it away and went and bought the puppy food like usually and never had a problem until August 10th 2015.

Pedigree 55 lbs. bag (Meatier Recipe) - Chicken Flavor - This dog food makes our dogs (2 border collies) sick (vomiting & diarrhea) and lethargic. At first, I wasn't sure if it was the dog food until I gave them a few pieces to eat and they vomited not long after. They didn't even want to touch the food for a whole day. I even opened up another pedigree bag to check if they will eat it. They just smelled the food and ignored it. I know they're hungry since it has been a whole day, after they vomited, without any food in their stomach. There is something in this new meatier recipe that's making them sick. I will return a couple of bags back to Walmart for a refund. Pls. look into this matter. 1bag has Best By 07 09 16 /528F2OKCO12001; the other bag has Best By 06 24 16/526E10KC010823 for your info. Thank you!

My dog is 12 now and I have fed her the same dog food this whole time. Butchers Stew. Since the new improved formula she will not eat it anymore. She has eaten it after I add burger to it but she now won't quit scratching and losing her hair. She's in good shape but I have to switch her food. Jack Russell. Not happy with change. I know it's that new formula because I found a box of the old stuff and she ate it right up. As soon as I put out the new she barks at it and won't eat. Very sad because she means the world to me and my family.

I have a sweet little boxer mix that ideally should weigh 50-55 lbs. She was on the old formula without issue--active, inquisitive, and silly just like a boxer should be. Once the formula switched, she did a complete 180. We tried to stick with it, we just thought she was acclimating to the food slower than normal. She's become neurotic, scared. She curls up on the bed and shakes herself to an uneasy sleep. The diarrhea comes and goes but she always strains to do her business. A rash appeared on her nose and face, and she's dehydrated but shows very little interest in water. Weight has been falling off of her. She whines for apparently no reason, and never had before. Now that I see how many others are having similar issues, we're immediately switching to a different brand.

In the last month I purchased the Adult Complete dog food for my Pooch. Over the course of several weeks he has shown the signs of little bumps growing under his skin. The first of which is the size of a nickel, flat. He has chewed on it. Took him to the vet. We first thought it was an allergy to the grasses. Treated with a topical steroidal cream no change. In the last three days I realized the bag I have been feeding him from is not like the previous bags. I immediately went to the grocery store and bought a different brand without the chicken flavor and the green color kibbles. It's amazing as to how fast he has improved. Whatever Pedigree had done to the Food is BAD. Ensure you let your Vet know what food you are using. It is criminal that a pet owner and the critter have to endure the stress of a company's action.

Currently I am having to clean up puke from my dog for 3 hours. I have a 5 yr old Newfoundland cattle dog and has been having nausea, puking and eating grass. Pedigree you need to stop making dog food, you are harming and killing animals. Mars cut ties with Pedigree. I hope she will be better by tomorrow morning since she did puke up the non digested Dentastix.

I bought one of your bags of dog food and have been using Pedigree for a while now for my dog. This one had vegetables in it which looked just like colored dog food. The dog food did not agree with my dog at all and he has pooped all over my house. Now I have to throw this huge bag of food away and go spend money on another bag of food that does not have vegetables in it. Could Pedigree quit making this kind?

Purchased Pedigree from Walmart in Saratoga Springs, NY and my Bullmastiff has puked from eating this garbage. I thought perhaps it was a fluke until she puked after finding a stray kibble a few days later and barfed again. This product is CRAP. Do not cut costs in purchasing this garbage food as it will cause healthy dogs to puke and crap all day.

Been feeding our large dog pedigree for a couple months now and she is totally broken out red with a rash all over her belly and private. Now all the hair on her back is gone from her constantly chewing and she does not want to eat, is not active anymore, and eats a lot of grass as though she has a belly ache. HELP!!! What to do now?? I must stop feeding her Pedigree. It has to be the only thing that's doing this to her!!! I do not recommend Pedigree on any of your pets!!! Beware!!! :((

Three years ago, we adopted a Husky/Malamute mix from Capital Humane Society in Lincoln, Nebraska. They had been feeding him Purina at the shelter, but we switched him to Pedigree Large Breed Nutrition. He happily ate that for three years. Then early this year, we noticed that there had been a change in the recipe and overall look of the food. It said "new meatier recipe!" and some of the food chunks were now dyed orange and green. Seeko didn't finish his food nearly as fast as he used to, and he got diarrhea pretty badly. We also noticed that he started eating a lot of grass.

My dog is 5 years old and has only eaten Pedigree dry dog food. The Pedigree dry dog food formula for complete nutrition has recently changed and now has green and reddish chunks of dog food included. We bought it because we could not find the previous non-colored formula anywhere. My dog has been itchy and started losing his fur since starting this new formula. We are going to switch to Blue Buffalo.

My dog has been eating Pedigree hard dog food all of her adult life and never had an issue. Then I bought the 50 lbs chicken flavor food like I always do but it had green pieces in it. At first my dog loved them but then she slowly stopped getting excited about eating, started eating grass and actually went 4 days without eating food. Then we went on a short week long vacation and came back to a house smelling like dog farts. If I could return this dog food then I would! My dog is a very picky eater so I have to go on a hunt for a new dog food she will like. I won't be buying Pedigree anymore.

When will enough be enough! I want to know just exactly how many Pedigree employees feed this junk to their dogs at home???? And I want to see someone who is over Pedigree and also every single last employee eat it!! Since I began giving my baby bear your lousy trash you call dog food, she looks like death, sleeps all the time, has a red almost bloody rash and itching all over!! She is so thirsty - just can't get enough and she can't hardly walk! Why in the hell would anyone allow this ** to go on?

Was looking for a safe healthy chew for my Shepherd mix. I found the the Dentastix for large dogs. OK, made in USA not China. Took them and gave him one and a couple of hours later diarrhea for three days. The only thing that had changed in his diet. These things are garbage!

We have been feeding our German Shepherd Pedigree Large dog dry food for most of his life - it has been the same food the whole time. Back in May or June when I went to Costco to buy a bag of dog food, it had changed and now had these veggie bits - it was the Adult Meatier Recipe Chicken Flavor. Shortly after that he started getting these large nodules on his back, and they became very numerous very quickly. First course of treatment - antibiotics, benadryl, and flea treatment - thinking they might be a reaction to flea bites. No change, more bumps appear. Biopsy shows they are not cancerous.

Our boxer used Pedigree foods since he was a puppy. Sometime last year he began getting sick. Vomiting, diarrhea, eating grass. He would sometimes try and squat but nothing would come out. He was lethargic and would not eat or drink. This would last a few days and he would get better. We took him to the vet because he was losing weight and they could find nothing wrong - we just thought he ate something he shouldn't have. Last month he got sick again and this time unexpectedly passed away. My family and I were crushed.
