Pedigree Pet Foods Reviews

Since they switched their formula my first Shih Tzu started to throw up and become lethargic. Within 2 days he passed. My second Shih Tzu is on the same road I am waiting 3 hours for the vet to open up to take my dog and try to save her. Not only did I ended up paying vet bills but lost my four legged best friend and now crossing fingers I don't lose another one. Please stay away from their food. They are in the business of killing pets. I am very heart broken and disappointed in their quality of food.

I bought a large can of dog food just to open it to find a can full of watery oil and about 1/4 full of something solid, but didn't look or smell like any dog food I've ever seen before. Needless to say, I put it in the freezer til I could contact Pedigree. In the meantime, I continued feeding the one dog a large can of Pedigree once a day, and not even a week later that she had to be put down for she was old. But she refused to eat or drink the past couple of weeks that I fed her Pedigree. Never will I ever buy Pedigree again.

About a month ago I bought my dog the 25lb Pedigree meatier recipe. At first everything was okay. As time went by my dog stopped eating AT ALL, he stopped being himself. One day we noticed blood in his stool. He started limping from his back leg a few days after that, he looked very skinny and weak. We noticed him licking his paws and the carpet, he was obsessed. About two weeks ago we noticed a lump with a bloody scab in his front paw. We assume it was the food, we switched his food right away. Yesterday we noticed he wasn't limping anymore, he looks healthy again. We wrapped his lump up and put some ointment. The change in his behavior is extreme. Never ever again will I buy Pedigree!

Pedigree dry dog food causing diarrhea. The new Pedigree steak type dry dog food/adults has given numerous dogs the scours. We purchased two of mid-weight bags at Tractor Supply. We are a full service kennel w/ 30 years experience. Going to ask Tractor Supply if they have had similar complaints and contact Pedigree.

My daughter has a dachshund who had the same problems mentioned in the other posts. When she picked him up from the animal hospital she mentioned that he had been eating Pedigree for small breeds. The vet told her that was the problem and to stop using the Pedigree. After she told me the story I began thinking about my own miniature dachshund. I was using the Pedigree for small breeds. My dachshund had been having the same issues for months, but the doctors could not figure out what was wrong. Now I truly believe it was the dog food.

Last year between Oct and Nov I am guessing now because I cannot remember the exact date. I bought the Adult Complete Nutrition Chicken Flavor Bonus size 44-lbs. My dog became very sick. Within a week to a week and a half of being on the food she dropped a tremendous amount of weight - she was so weak she could hardly walk. It came on real fast. I stopped feeding it to her and I called Pedigree. They sent me a kit with a bag and I sent a sample back to them; as of this day I have never received a reply back about the food. I noticed in the bottom of the bag of food it looked like it had a lot of salt crystals lying in it, which I said to the guy on the phone who took my address and sent me the kit. To this day I don't know if maybe it was overloaded with sodium or what. My dog passed away Christmas eve night.

I have fed my pugs who are 5 and 7, "Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition" since they could eat adult food. We never experienced any problems. On July 5, we had to rush one of our dogs to an emergency care center where they had no idea what was going on. She was lethargic, vomiting and way out of it (her tongue was white, I'm not exaggerating) but they gave her some medicine and she was all better. The next week we fed her a chicken and rice diet and she was doing great.

Approximately 5 days ago, my husband and I bought the 50 lb bag of Pedigree Complete Nutrition Adult Chicken flavor dry food. Within 2 days of eating, my Staffordshire Bull Terrier started to eat grass every time she went outside... we just assumed that she had a virus as she's always eaten Pedigree, but just the beef flavored (they didn't have that flavor when we purchased the chicken). Then, she started having horrible gas... and it wasn't like every now and then... my house started to smell like she had had a bowel movement on my floor. I finally decided to do some research on this chicken flavor dry food and I really feel as though there is something wrong with this company for keeping this on the shelf! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!

Pedigree dog food kills!!! My poor bulldog was just given a clean bill of health... till he ate your food. He started having seizures, blood in his feces, throwing up. That all stopped after we stop feeding him Pedigree but the damage was too late and he died!!! We are crushed and I want to sue. Anyone know of a class action lawsuit against Pedigree?

Since Pedigree changed their formula my dogs have experienced upsets stomachs and daily bouts of diarrhea. Their energy level is down and their coats are dry and feel awful. I am a multiple dog household and used Pedigree for forty years. My dogs lived long healthy lives on Pedigree even with formula changes in the past. I expected a few days of diarrhea with the change in formula but nothing like this. I TRUSTED this company. Now I will NEVER USE IT AGAIN. Shame on Pedigree for changing the formula and making not only my dogs sick but everyone I talk to that uses Pedigree dog's sick as well. By the reviews there are a lot more dogs across the country sick as well.

In the last two weeks we have been feeding, or now trying to feed, our dog the Pedigree Meatier Recipe Chicken Flavor dog food... now he doesn't want to eat anything and he's incredibly lethargic and his bowel movements are almost entirely black. We've never seen him like this before. We even took him to the vet because we were so worried about him, but at the time they said that he "seemed" fine but this has continued on now for another week and we'll be taking him back and changing the food! He will barely eat anything at this point and we're hoping that with a few days away from that terrible food that he'll be himself again, but I will be reaching out to the company.

I gave my miniature yorkie a dentastix on Monday before I went to work. By the time I got home, she had vomited several times and had loose stools with blood all over the bathroom floor. I took her to the vet the next day they drew blood work and put her on IV solutions, gave her an antibiotic and anti-diarrheal. By the following morning, she had to deteriorate it so badly that I had to take her back to the vet where she started having a succession of seizures. I have since brought her home and am waiting to see whether or not she will make it.

We have used Pedigree dog food for 14 years. We have a 14-year-old female pit bull and an 11-month-old male pit bull. We bought a bag of the dog food (the adult blend) which is what we have always fed them, on Thursday July 2. Friday morning, we woke up to a huge mess of diarrhea in the room they sleep in. Not knowing for sure which dog it was, or if it was both, we cleaned it up and moved on. They ate the food and seemed fine over the weekend (Though I did notice them eating grass which means belly ache.). Monday morning and this morning (Tuesday) we woke up to another huge mess of diarrhea and vomit and confirmed it was indeed both dogs. Took stool samples into our vet and the vet said there was no sign of bacteria present and agreed we could have a contaminated bag of dog food since that's when the symptoms started.

We have two collies and have fed them the Pedigree dry dog food for a few years. They changed their formula and have the new chicken flavor which we bought at our local BJ Club, 55 lb. bags. After feeding them this for a few weeks our female began throwing up bile. At first about every other day at night and then every day and became quite sick. We had her to the vet and they could not find the cause so we took her home and then had to rush her to emergency since she was throwing up the bile and was having stomach contractions frequently and had a hard time breathing. They did ultrasounds, x-rays and a complete workup and could not find anything wrong with her digestive tract or organs. She then started salivating profusely and developed pneumonia. She was in intensive care for a week.

I buy Pedigree in Gravy for my rescued Greyhounds. It is an excellent meal to change over from raw meat, likewise with Whippets. This is mixed with biscuit mixed to avoid too much protein. I was so upset to find that the last 2 cases I bought were marked Gravy, but were loaf! I cannot afford not to feed this as I am on a pension, but have noticed my old Lady is very loose with change of diet. I will continue to feed Pedigree with Gravy as it seems to be superb up to press. I cannot afford to buy more than 12 at a time and the offers on at some Supermarkets at 2 packs for 6 are great! I have kept one of the tins and bought from B and M Bargains at Barrow in Furness. Thank you.

I am in the middle of moving from one town to another in my area, and my dogs were staying at my mom's during the move. My mother bought a bag of Pedigree to feed them. I didn't realize that could be the problem until a friend posted these reviews on Facebook. My mom reported that my dog MJ looked swollen in her abdomen and had quit eating. Then she kept trying to poop, and was unable for a very long time. Then, suddenly, she would have a raging case of diarrhea. Afterward, she would be lethargic, would not jump onto her doghouse and tried throwing up. She was miserable.

Purchased large bag of the "new" Pedigree. Meatier. My dog refuses to eat it. Tried mixing it w/ Rachel Ray zero grain, tried some canned food, even some chicken stock. He pulled out what appeared to be the colored pieces and spit them on the floor. Needless to say he will not eat this product and I am stuck w/ a large bag of dog food. I think Purina should check their product and see what the problem is. My dog is far from a picky eater. Seriously would like a refund but don't have the receipt. If product code is needed, I still have the bag. Product was purchased from Dollar Store.

Every time my dog eats Pedigree she throws it up in less than a couple minutes after she eats. Not sure why but this is frustrating. My other two dogs eat it with no problems.

My Lab is 5 years old. All the while she was given Pedigree Chicken and veg (03). In May-2015 when we purchased her Pedigree we got the new packing. There was only one type of pellets inside. Usually there used to be another small pellet also. Within one week she started eating lot of grass. Then started to pass dark stool. Very smelly. The vet attended her. Tested blood, took for scanning. Could not find anything. The body odor also became bad. Soon she started vomiting. Whatever she eat she will vomit after some time. She eat like there is fire inside her. Within another one week she was so bad and we had to put her to sleep. Today only I saw this web site. Now I am convinced that Pedigree killed my Lab. Earlier I used to defend in favor of Pedigree. What a pity. Companies do like this to grab money. Sad Sad Sad!!!

I have been feeding my 5 year old dog Pedigree her entire life, and have NEVER had any issues.. Just recently I noticed (within past week) that the packaging changed for dry food small dog breed, chicken flavor. I am glad I looked up to see if there was any recalls because my dog had been getting sick and eating grass like crazy since they switched whatever it was in the food. I am going to call the vet and Pedigree and see exactly what's going on. Thank you everyone for your comments! They have been very helpful and I am going to see what dog food brand I should switch to next! I have yet to see this recall on the news and I am shocked due to the fact this is a commonly used brand.

Bought 55 lb bag of Pedigree dog food chicken flavor and my dog at first did not want to eat it but started to since June. Today she vomited a lot in the morning then when I got home I gave her a small milk bone and waited an hour then gave her a hand full of food, waited another hour and gave her some more. She vomited all of it back up. We gave her some licorice root and cat food. She is finally settled. We trusted Pedigree for years and all of a sudden this happens and I read that other dogs have died! This is unacceptable. No one was warned about this. There was no recall. So, what are you going to do about this?!

We gave one of those to our dog. She became extremely ill with vomiting and almost died. We incurred $1,000 in vet bills to save her. Note that she had had a well dog visit days before getting the Dentastix and all was fine. We totally blame the product for almost killing her. Pedigree denies any responsibility. Is anyone interested in pursuing a class action suit?

I bought the 50 lb bag of chicken flavor dry dog food. My dog has been crapping a lot and she can't seem to hold it in. After about 2 days she started throwing it up. Never again will I buy this crap. I'm going to switch back to blue buffalo. Someone really needs to regulate the ingredients on these products.

Worms hatched within 2 hours of opening can.

Recently (less than 3 mo.) switched from dog chow to Pedigree. Originally started with approx. 15 bag chicken flavored and my two beagle/lab mixed girls seem to like it. Well, in middle of June 2015 I decided to buy 55 lbs bag since there are 2 dogs. Immediately we noticed the dogs were drinking excessive amounts of water, eating grass and had loose stools. Since weather has been quite humid, I passed that off. Also thought it was maybe cheap dog treats I bought so I had my daughter only give 1/2 a treat every 3 days to see if that helped. Also the dogs are still vomiting occasionally.

Both of my dogs have started throwing up on the 2nd day of eating Pedigree Adult Complete Nutrition Dry Food for Dogs. I bought the "Bonus Bag 20.4 lb." from Target in Austin TX on June 21, 2015. I am so upset after reading this thread and seeing all of the posts (just in June 2015) I'll be watching my pups closely... Hopefully they'll be fine.

Healthy Weight Chicken Flavor dog food - My 10 year old Golden Retriever has been on this food for a while. I just purchased this on Sunday and gave to him for dinner. He was so sick Sunday night and when I woke up Monday, he had thrown up. He wont eat anything! It is now Tuesday. I have NEVER seen him act like this. Doesnt respond to "Bye'Bye" or "Walk". Turns down everything. Has a really hot body temp and broke out into a rash Monday night. I was hesitant to give him benadryl because he is already so lethargic. His right eye is creating white discharge like I have never seen. He has only been able to poop once in 2 days and it was so small and loose. Going to vet today. Will update. All signs lead to this food though so BEWARE!!

We have been feeding the large breed formula to our nine year old Great Dane since he was a year old. We purchased our usual big bag of food at Target, like we always do, making sure it had the photo of exactly how our Griffin looks (harlequin Great Dane) and we went on home. After finishing the almost empty bag, we then opened the new bag and like we have been doing for almost 8 years, put two cups into his bowl in the morning, and then two more come evening. (He's a very big boy with a big appetite!)

I am the proud owner of a lovely 15 year old Doberman mix. I have been giving her the Pedigree joint house for the past 4 years and I've noticed she has a huge tumor on her left joint hip on her back legs. It's very painful for her and I've been noticing more tumors pop up over the months. I'm afraid I may have to put my poor baby to sleep.

Pedigree meatier adult chicken flavored dry dog food - We have one dog that, when she eats this dog food gets sick and throws up and has loose stools. We take care of my daughter's two dogs and both have loose stools. This started we bought the 50 lb bag. Pedigree needs to recall this product now!

Pedigree chicken dry dog food - I purchased this dog food in June 2015, and gave to my lab, and after the third day of eating it she was so sick. Throwing up and loose stools. She became so lethargic and would not eat for four days. We thought she was going to die. Never have had any food do this to her before. I will never purchase this again. My Golden Retriever also became sick. Throwing up too, but not as bad as my lab. Maybe this food was just too rich for her. But I would not recommend this dog food for consumption.

I started buying Pedigree small bites about two years ago when we adopted a puppy and my older small dogs teeth were getting bad. They have both been fine on it. I also have been feeding Pedigree to my other dog for 17 years until she passed away from old age. I opened this new bag I bought on Sunday. I feed it to my 2-year-old 65-pound lab. She began vomiting white foam and laid around all day. This dog is a mix with Dalmatian. She has gone bonkers since day one of bringing her home. So I know she didn't feel good.

My 6 year old dachshund has been eating Pedigree Small Breed Chicken Flavor his entire life with no issues. His previous bag ran out on Sunday night, so I went to the store to pick up a new one. I noticed the bag's design had changed and read, "Small DOG, Meatier Recipe." I assumed the ingredients could not have changed drastically and purchased it. I fed him 1/2 cup yesterday morning and 1/2 cup yesterday evening. Around 11pm, he began pacing the house, licking the carpets, and panting.

Please if you can help it! Don't buy the Pedigree for your dogs! If you already feed them this please stop please! My dog was found dead this morning with vomit all over him. So sad! Y'all please beware!

I have been feeding my one year old pit/lab and my one year old boxer/basset Pedigree adult dry food chicken flavor. I bought a new bag labeled "new meatier recipe." Within a day I was coming home to vomit and diarrhea all over their kennel. This happened a total of 8 times in 5 weeks. I couldn't figure out what it was as I limited them to just their food, no treats. Then I found this thread. I gave them new food and within a day they were back to normal stools. I'm glad I figured this out before my dogs got deathly ill. Stay away from all Pedigree products if you love your pets.

Before we give my dog eat other brand. After this we running of dog food. Change the dog food to Pedigree dry food. After first eat my dog diarrhea. So now so bad. Is it normal? Can I refund this and how to make it? 'Cause seller not allow us to refund. My dog is Siberian husky.

I have used Pedigree dry dog food for many years. My dogs really enjoyed their food until recently May or June, possibly when Pedigree change the ingredients with the new chicken flavor. My dogs got sick and will not eat it anymore. Why did you change something that was obviously nothing wrong with? But your new chicken flavor my dogs will not eat it and I have had to find something else for them. Thank you.

I bought at Costco a 55 lb Pedigree dog food chicken flavor. One of my chihuahuas died. I am trying to save the other two. All were vomiting all the time and had blood in the feces. I see there are a lot of customers complaining and they continue selling that garbage. Do not buy Pedigree dog food!!!

CS rep had a bad attitude and no answers as to why 4 of my 5 dogs are now having foamy vomit and not waiting to eat the new chicken food when I have far from picky eaters! I opened up a ticket with Pedigree and plan to bring all of them to the of removing them from the food along doesn't stop the problems. I am returning the food back to Costco after sending some in for private testing.

Purchased a 55lb bag of adult chicken flavor for my dog. She was found dead today and it's because of this food. Found out it Had a recall on UPC but I can't make out lot # due to smeared ink. SHE was found in blood and vomit/foam. 4yo healthy dog. Smh.

Pedigree dog food about killed my Beautiful Baby Girl (4 yr old black Lab weight 84 lbs). After eating a can of Pedigree about 5 to 10 min later she started having a seizure a really bad one. She had 3 within 30 mins. I rushed her to the vet emergency and they didn't know what was wrong. Put her on an IV and gave her fluids. I wasn't putting it together and opened a can the next day and she refused to eat it. So I decided to Google Pedigree and I found this site... Never again will I use Pedigree and they owe me for the can food I bought and a $270.00 dollar vet bill.

I have been searching everywhere for answers as to why my two babies died with similar endings. I looked up Pedigree food to see that there was a September 2015 recall! This is exactly when my chow mixed male died after a week of no eating. He had blood work done only to find out that he did indeed have cancer. He was gone, healthy to skin and bones within a week as the cancer ate him up from the inside out. We had no idea because he looked fine! Due to his dense coating. We decided to put him down once he started to violently vomit blood.

Pedigree has changed something. My yorkie began having loose stools. Today he had clear throw up. It is sunday 07, 2015. I will be taking him to the vet in the morning. Calling my vet now.

Reading these comments about this dog food. My dogs have been vomiting and eating grass like crazy ever since I started feeding them this product. I've never had a problem until they started eating this stuff. Took my dog to the Vet yesterday. Thank God the X-rays showed no sign of blockage in his stomach. I will never buy this stuff again.

I wasn't shocked to find this thread. I bought a new bag of this new large breed formula and both of my dogs have been vomiting ever since! What did you do?!?!?!

I am wondering why by changing your Pedigree dry food that you can't leave the original alone, my dogs will not touch the new kind, and I have tried switching brands still nothing. Come on people we need to feed our dogs what they like and are use to. Bring back the original chicken with the chicken nuggets in it. Been a week and my dogs will not eat any dry. It's not fair to take away the things our pets love, and change it to something they won't touch. No stores have the original. If you really care about pets and the people who love their pets stop taking away to make changes.

I have used Pedigree dog food for many years. I have always been a supporter of their products & recommended their dog foods to many other pet owners. Recently, (isamee last year) my dog has acquired a foul odor her coat, her breath & her gaseous insides! Having tried every shampoo on the market, several hundreds of dollars having her professionally groomed, several hundreds of dollars in "vet visits" my dog is becoming unbearable to be around. I love my dog like a child & she has no idea why more & more she is left alone!

I had a 10-year old Chihuahua mix who was healthy. I opened a new can of Pedigree chicken and rice, she usually got beef but I decided to give her another choice. She ate only half of it and within an hour started panting and then got sick. I never related it to the food until she started with seizures and responding like she was poisoned. I went online to see if any recalls were posted for Pedigree and saw nothing but these complaints and horror stories from other consumers. I wrapped her up in a blanket to take her to my vet. She was so weakened she didn't have the strength to stand but continued to try dragging herself out of the covers because she had peed and had uncontrollably diarrhea where she laid. I have never experienced this trauma of having to watch my poor little dog in so much pain and dying and being so helpless. My vet immediately got her on an iv where she spent the night trying to regain her strength.

After purchasing a new bag of Pedigree Dog Food and feeding it for 2 weeks, our wonderful 2 year old black Labrador has begun to vomit and drool after eating. We took him to the vet who had no diagnosis. Told us to put him on rice and cottage cheese only. He recovered, stopped vomiting and drooling, until we began to re-introduce his Pedigree dry and canned food again. After reading other stories about the same thing happening to so many other dogs, especially during the same time frame as our sick dog, we will be returning what's left of the bad food, and NEVER buy another Pedigree product. And continue praying our dog recovers, especially since he is my husband's "Service Dog", and is so dear to our hearts. Class-action suit anyone???

I have a 12 yr. old Bichon and a 10 yr. old jack Russell. I have been feeding them Pedigree wet ground beef cans. They have been eating this for several years with no problem until recently. They both started having gas and diarrhea. I noticed the ground beef looked different and had more fatty liquid in them. My Bichon and jack are on Pedigree intestinal veterinary food - 12 cans for $30.00. I am a senior and can't afford this cost. It has now cost me $300. After they finish the 2 cases I just bought, I am done with Pedigree. If my Bichon does not pull through, I am opened to a class action lawsuit against Mars.

I have bought Pedigree dog food for yrs and fed all 3 of my dogs the beef flavor complete nutritional health, never had any issues. Last week I went to Walmart and noticed all they had was the chicken flavor complete health, purchased it. Within a week my shepherd mix was pooping blood, vomiting, and diarrhea.

My dog, Socks, was getting older and was unable to eat his dry food anymore so we bought him Pedigree wet food; he did well, but he ended up passing away due to cancer. Well, we still had 5.5 cans of the wet food left so I began giving it to my two small dogs, Shih-Tzu and Italian Greyhound/Terrier. I mixed their dry food with it; there was more dry than wet. Suddenly, while on the wet food, my Shih-Tzu began having small, runny stool. I initially thought it was worms so I gave her a deworming medication and nothing changed. I took her to my vet, he asked what food she was being fed. I told him and he told me to remove the wet food from her diet and stick with the dry food. It's been a few days and her stool is already better. She's acting more like her old self, too! Don't feed your pets Pedigree; from what I can tell it's nothing but poison.

On May 18 my 5 1/2 month old shih tzu puppy along with my other 1 yr old shih tzu ate the Pedigree small bits dog food and within 36 hrs he died. My older dog got sick but survived. DO NOT BUY THIS DOG FOOD IF YOU LOVE AND CHERISH YOUR BABIES!!!

The store was out of my normal dog food so I bought Pedigree dry dog food and gave it to my dogs. Woke up to my Pit bull so lethargic that he could not move, was cold to the touch. He had thrown up and diarrhea everywhere with bloody stool. We rushed him to the emergency vet but they said there was nothing they could do. We had to put him down. I will never recommend this product to anyone!

I switched my dog to pedigree puppy chicken flavor bc they were sold out of the normal one I usually buy and figured since it was such a trusted name it would be fine. First day he ate it. Second day wouldn't touch it. Third day died. Took to vet after he seemed extremely sick and was said to be poisoned. Getting bag of food tested.

I purchased the new steak flavored to give my dogs a break from the same old Pedigree flavor they always eat. I purchased it from Tractor Supply in Ellijay, GA. The next day I left for Chicago for training for work, and my mother contacted me to tell me the dogs are all (3) sick and not eating, but chewing on the grass outside. After reading all these reviews and looking online at all the CRAP they put in the food, I am switching brands. I wouldn't eat the left and rejected products in it… Why would I trust it to my pets, they are my family.

After giving my dog this dog food she liked it but she had real bad gas. After taking my dog for her visit my doctor said that her stomach was bloated and she is on a 30 day supply of stomach soothing medication. So stop making my dog sick!

What are you putting in your dog food? Please let me know. I thought it may be the canned food so I started feeding my dogs just Pedigree dry food and this has not helped. They stink. We cannot sit in the same room as them. They continually break wind and it stinks. It is revolting. I have looked up on the internet and found out that a lot of dog food has fillers in it and this upsets dogs' stomachs. If this is the case should you be able to sell this to people for their pets? I will not be purchasing your dog food again for my two dogs. I think some changes are in order.

I came on the site looking for answers as to why my puppy has suddenly developed an aversion to her food. OMGoodness! It seems there are lots of dogs having the same reactions to this new Pedigree formula change. This is terrible for our animals. Shame on the company for not informing us of the change.

Just bought a bag of Beef flavored Pedigree and my bulldog which has eaten Original Pedigree for months broke out in major hives!!! She is very sick today so taking it back! Hopefully I will get my money back but either way she is going on something different. Can't take the chance on buying this brand again!!

My dog was an energetic 3 year old who never had any problems till I started feeding him Pedigree. He had loss in appetite and weight and then suffered a seizure which was heart wrenching to watch him suffer. It has to be from Pedigree, that was the only thing that changed. I will never feed him Pedigree again.

We have been feeding our two adult dogs Pedigree for years, I bought a 20 pound bag and noticed the bag was different, I questioned this and was told everything was the same just new packing. Imagine my anger when our labs have been sick ever since they ate the new food. They have gone so much I worry. We will be taking them to the vet and be changing their food. What have you done Pedigree?????

What in the world. We are at this moment getting ready to go to the vet because both of our Gordon Setters have diarrhea and are vomiting non-stop. We feel guilty and mad at the same time. We will never buy another Pedigree product and I am will def tell everyone to steer clear of them. If either of our boys die I will be after Pedigree so fast it will make their head spin. Bad business and bad dog food.

I've been feeding my dog Marrobone dog treats from Pedigree for a few months now. I recently broke one open only to find strands of fiberglass in it. I broke a few more open and found the same thing. I am absolutely disgusted with the neglect of my dog's well being and will never buy another product by MARS Petcare (Pedigree).

Regarding Pedigree Dog Food products, I am very concerned about the universally known toxic onion and garlic powders being in their food, i.e. Little Champions Meaty Ground Dinner Pouches. It's as if the company is blatantly giving our pets the middle finger while they exploit the consumers' wallets!! We see the recalls and yet we still see a blind eye given to their other egregious products! Shut this company down unless a serious overhaul of ALL aspects of their products is conducted. PLEASE, I implore the company itself, as well as the distributor and whatever policing authorities exist.

I bought 2 bags of Pedigree chicken flavor dog food (my usual brand) a week apart at the same store. The two bags had identical labels and were identical sizes. The food in each bag looked completely different, and my dogs wouldn't touch the food in the second bag. What is going on here? This isn't the first time, either. You never know for sure what you're getting with Pedigree. Time to change brands.

I have a Rottweiler, and starting feeding her pedigree vitality at 3 years old. 4 days after we started giving her pedigree vitality, she started having seizures. Took her to emergency vet and spent $2,000 to have her medicated and watched overnight. I researched the ingredients and found that they use propylene glycol, which is a toxic preservative used in engine coolant. My husband is a mechanic and was appalled to see this used. We changed her food immediately and the seizures stopped and have not happened since.

We have two Bichon Frises that are almost 10 years old. For the past 7 years I have given them 1/2 of a Breath Buster every morning after their breakfast. For about the same length of time I have given them each 1 Dentastyx, any flavor, every afternoon. One of my little girls has a problem with getting Struvite Crystals in her bladder and I have to feed her Royal Canin's Urinary Tract dog food, which is VERY high in calories. The vet neglected to tell me this when she prescribed this diet and my little girl gained about a pound within a month. I tried her on Royal Canin's Urinary Low Calorie food but she started having a problem with crystals again, so back to the original.

I lost my best friend, a Doberman, 4 years ago because of something in the Pedigree dog food. I wrote my story about it either here or on another similar site, but I can't seem to find it. I keep seeing some people say good things about Pedigree products and all I can say is that they have been lucky so far that their dogs are still well. I fed my dog dry Pedigree for years without problems, until my dog got seriously sick from eating it. He recovered after being on prescription dog food from the vet after two weeks.

We bought a beautiful brindle shepherd mix and fed him Pedigree 55 pound chicken adult dry dog food. After about 3 months, suddenly our dog started having short seizures. He was only about 15 months old when he started having seizures. I immediately took him off the Pedigree and his seizures stopped for 3 weeks. Unfortunately he was fed Pedigree again and immediately his seizures came back. That is when I found a large clump of his food stuck together with a green colored substance that I assume was mold in his Pedigree food.

My dog has been vomiting ever since Pedigree changed the formula to the meatier kind. He has been on Pedigree since he was born and now they have changed the formula and he keeps vomiting. We just got this bag this past weekend. I don't know what the problem is but we will no longer use Pedigree because obviously they changed the formula to cut cost at the expense of the animals' health so screw you Pedigree.

My heart is near broken. I was the happy, loving pet owner of two small dogs. The first being a Shih Tzu, that I had for six years until October of last year, when it died after eating Pedigree soft food in the yellow little bags of a box of six or eight. I trusted Pedigree for being an outstanding brand. However, my second dog is a Cocker Spaniel. I switched and begin giving Coco (cocker spaniel) the small dog chicken flavor dry food. After the dog ate this food, it has began throwing up, will not eat, and has bloody stools. I am so afraid that I will lose the cocker spaniel too. I am a disabled person and cannot afford the costly vet bills, especially when trying to save the Shih Tzu cost me hundreds of dollars. The bag says best by 02 7 16 22 1 and the number under that is 5066100404 16;00. I do not have the can foods or the soft yellow packet food anymore, I threw them away. I just do not know what to do.

I have fed my puppies and dogs pedigree for over 40 years if not more and never had a trouble till you changed it. Now my dog is sick, and whines, and cries. Don't know why you had to change something when nothing was wrong with it. I am not a very happy person right now and if anything happens to my baby for eating this you will be held accountable. You just need to go back to the way it was and leave well enough alone. Like the saying goes if it's not broke don't fix it. IT WAS SMALL BREED AND NOW YOU CHANGED IT AND CALL IT SMALL DOG!!!

My dog has been eating Pedigree Dentastix all her life. We noticed they've been getting stickier in consistency over several months. The other day a piece of one got stuck in the hinge of her jaw, jamming her mouth open. I couldn't get it out - it had welded itself to her back teeth. After fifteen minutes and much distress for her, it eventually came loose. I went out and bought a new bag of Pedigree Dentastix (with a different batch number). I gave her one from the new bag the following evening - and the same thing happened again, but this time it welded her mouth shut. It took some time to get it loose - I don't know if it has caused any damage to her teeth or jaw, as she's not been so keen on eating since then.

I have a 5 month old puppy, she is absolutely my baby! I bought the soft version of this food in the little package and she got very sick from it! This hasn't happened with any other dog food before. She has been laying around all day not drinking or eating! I am very angry with this company. And if anything happens to my baby you will be getting sued. Trust me on that!

On April 8, 2015 my dog eat Pedigree dry with can of Pedigree wet mixed in. He ate it all and in a day was so sick… severe diarrhea with blood then nothing but blood when rushed to vet. He became very dehydrated and was vomiting. He spent 3 days in hospital and was treated with IVs and antibiotics… The vet informed me it was the food he has eaten that caused the stomach and digestion problem. The vet bill was 1500.00 and it’s not the money issue, it’s the fact that Pedigree puts junk in the food. And I have since put him on Blue Buffalo salmon/chicken grill wet with dry and have zero issues and no more problems.

Started giving our dog the minty Dentastix last week. She has thrown up every day this week after eating them. Her energy is low, her appetite for her usual food is far below normal. The vomiting has increased in frequency each day. Nothing else in her diet or routine has changed. I'll be throwing these out and going back to natural pig's ears or bully sticks.

Pedigree dog food made my 3 dogs sick. I have been feeding them this food for years. Now all of a sudden they changed it and they all are vomiting, have diarrhea, and are SO SICK! Very thirsty. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? I am changing their food. Right now, I am giving them rice to try and bind them. Plenty of water. AND NO MORE PEDIGREE DOG FOOD! OMG! IT COULD HAVE KILLED MY CHIHUAHUA! My other two are large breed dogs, but, still, older. So, I AM worried. If they are not better in a day they are going to the vet. Shame on Pedigree. Very, very upset. Will never use again. Do not use this food.

I bought a 55-lb bag of Pedigree dog food about three weeks ago at tractor supply. Yesterday when I went to feed the dogs I scooped into it and there were moldy clumps of food. I'm very disappointed I've fed this for over 20 years.

I have fed my dogs Pedigree dog food for months now. I recently bought a 36.4 pound of the chicken flavored dog food which is proclaimed to be meatier. I don't know what is wrong with this particular bag that I bought the week of 4/13/2015 but my dogs will not touch the stuff! I have tried repeatedly to get them to try it but the smell of it and walk away as though they sense that it is tainted!

I had to take my dog to the emergency vet, We bought a 40 pound bag of pedigree from Walmart and all of a sudden my dog started puking blood, had severe diarrhea blood and was losing lots of hair. When we took him to the vet they said all tests are fine. This was all caused by his food. I would want a refund on the 2 bags of food I paid for and all the vet bills. Never again will I recommend this brand to anyone.

Our dog became I'll with vomiting and refusing food until she was very hungry. After a trip to the vet and being very watchful of what she ate I am sure the pedigree canned food is making her sick. I just gave her a can this morning thinking she was fine after no problems for a couple of weeks, and she threw it up almost immediately. There is something bad wrong with this brand. We are going to return it!

I've been feeding my adult dog Pedigree food for years. I recently bought a 20.4 lb bonus bag and within a day my dog started having diarrhea and vomiting. I thought she may have eaten something outside. She refused to eat for several days. She would put a few pieces of food in her mouth and spit them out. Just realized the symptoms began only after feeding her from the new bag of Pedigree dog food. I bought a small bag of Pedigree tonight just to see if she would eat it and she gobbled it down.

I was constantly having to change my boys dog food as one couldn't tolerate but the other could since they were puppies. Then we got our old man and he was a picky eater. He was 13 yrs old when we got him. He was on Pedigree Complete Adult dry and Pedigree can food his whole life. He would not change so we tried changing our boys dog food to his. Worked wonderfully. We had trouble finding the right food for our boys and here comes old man with the perfect one. Both could hold it down - no diarrhea, no lethargy, nothing at all. They loved it. Old man lasted another 3 yrs. before old age finally got to him. Pitbulls don't have that long of a life span but old man he was full of life, happy and hyper for a 16 yr old. My other 2 are just as happy and healthy as old man. So I don't understand all the bad reviews but then Again I'm using Complete Adult. And all the bad reviews are for the chicken.

My Yorkie had often had seizures while we fed him Beneful Dry dog food. When we switched him to Science Diet canned food the seizures stopped. One evening last week we had run out of the Science Diet food so we stopped at Publix to find anything to hold him over and we bought Pedigree Canned meat "Filet Minon Flavor". He had his usual portion which he ate well. I thought maybe we found a less expensive option at $0.87/can. Well what a MISTAKE!!! Within 15 minutes he was throwing up everything he ate and had the runs. He threw up 4 times hat night and again in the morning. He was lethargic but when I brought him his regular Science Diet he seemed back to normal. But yesterday he would not eat and then all of a sudden he had pooped in the house and threw up bloody/mucus everywhere. It was horrifying.

I have fed my dogs Pedigree for years. I purchased the new chicken recipe and all three dogs have been vomiting their dog food for a few days. I have check for other causes and went online to find others who have the same problem with the food. Not happy.

My black lab who will be 10 next month has eaten this food for a while now. For the last few weeks he has cut way down on how much he ate, and now hasn’t eaten anything for 2 days. He has lost 16-17 pounds now too. Very visible weight loss. Gave him some canned food in small amounts and he has kept it down. Just isn’t eating like he was, more clingy, wants to go out a lot more now, just not right. He goes to the vet Monday morning and hope we find out what’s going on. After reading these reviews, it made my heart sink, knowing I was feeding him this food and that there is a good chance this is what’s causing his issues. Just seems to fit the problems and patterns in a lot of the other reviews.

For the past month my puppy has been eating the puppy chicken and rice flavour pedigree dry food from the 1.5kg bag. Just last week I bought the 7 kg bag same puppy chicken and rice flavour food and once my puppy started eating from the new bag, he has been having uncontrollable diarrhea. My puppy is only 5 months and still a baby to suffer and now he is even frighten to eat. When I called the customer centre, they said there isn't anything they can do and that they are sorry, but they will try to get someone to call me.

I got a bag from a friend. It was the chicken flavor. I gave my dog one bowl of this and she was sick for 24hrs. She started getting sick early the next morning. She had vomiting and diarrhea though vomiting was the worse. This was well above diet change issues. I called my vet that evening and he said to not feed dinner and do rice in the morning and to toss the food. After fasting her for 24hrs, even during this time she was throwing up water and bile, she seems better this morning. She has held down the plain brown rice I gave her.

We purchased Pedigree dog food Healthy Weight because our Cocker Spaniel Ginger was gaining weight so we switched to this. I thought she had eaten something outside as dogs do - she became lethargic and she wouldn't eat or drink anything, she has bloody stools. I took the stool to the Vet and they are testing it. After reading all these complaints I feel absolutely terrible that I could have killed my dog from this nasty Pedigree. Now I don't know what to feed her, I guess I am going to have to make her food as I know she will be okay with this.

I've been feeding our dog, Sunny, Pedigree dry dog food for years and have had no problems but that changed recently. When she was fed from a 20.4# bag of adult chicken flavor food, she became lethargic and had blood in her stools. She was taken to a vet who proclaimed that she had a bacterial infection related to food. We followed the advice of the vet and put her on a rice and ground beef diet. She healed. As we had not supplemented her dry food before this, we wondered if Pedigree might be the cause. (Had she eaten something on a walk that we weren't aware of?) Just to be sure, we gave her a little bit more of the food and the same problems returned. I have written to Pedigree asking to be reimbursed for the vet bill, the ground beef and rice, and that bag of dog food.

I bought Pedigree Active dry food at Walmart weeks ago. So the problem with this is that we had fed her pedigree all her life without issues. Anyway, we fed her pedigree and she vomited multiple times for 2 days in a row. We were concerned. She had diarrhea as well. So sad. Anyway, we decided to stop feeding her and cook her food. I cooked her some soup with rice and chicken. She ate it all and got better.

I got a large bag of Pedigree for my Blue nose Pitbull and poor baby had an allergic reaction - he broke out in hives and is so lethargic. What the heck is in this food that would cause a break out? I'm going back to Iams.

I gave my 3 month old puppy and my 2 year old hound dog Puppy Pedigree last night. My puppy vomited violently 11 times - trembling and dry heaving. My big dog vomited 3 times. I have never seen such a sick little puppy in my life! I'm thinking of getting this dry food tested.

Pedigree large dog chicken flavor dog food 36.4 lbs - The dog food in this bag is so hard it made my dog's gums bleed, and she refuses to and I won't let her eat it. I tried your brand since the recall happened but am not happy at all. My husband soaked a chunk of your food in hot water over night and still had a hard time breaking it with a meat hammer. Do you really think that is safe for teeth or digestion? I DON'T- NOT HAPPY. NOW WE HAVE TO DRIVE 35 MILES BACK TO TOWN JUST FOR DOG FOOD.

My 6 month old Pomchi Puppy was eating Beneful since she was of age to eat solids. Someone gave us a large bag of Puppy Pedigree. We thought it would be good for her to have the puppy nutrition, so we slowly weened her off of the Beneful and onto Pedigree. Our pup was healthy and had no stomach issues prior. A day after she started the Pedigree, she started major diarrhea and vomiting. She is still struggling after 4 days but is back to eating Beneful. We firmly believe the Pedigree has salmonella issues. She is starting to recover. We tried Pepto, but it didn't help much. We gave her immodium, and it's starting to help her. PLEASE somebody recall this horrid food. No dog should ever have to suffer like this.

On the 27th of February, I brought Pedigree Dentastix and fed them to my two Jack Russel Shih Tzu mix dogs that are almost 2 years old. Very soon they both got diarrhea and this went on for about a week. They would wake my wife and I at all hours during the night because they had to go the bathroom. We knew it could not be the food because they eat Freshpet dog food. So in order to combat the diarrhea, we gave them rice water to help them. Thankfully this did work and they are back to normal now.

We have fed our dogs Pedigree food for sometime. I always trusted the brand, but now I think that it should be outlawed. We have 5 dogs that all have seizures, some more severe than others, and the only common denominator, is that they all eat the Pedigree Adult Formula food. I will save the last bag of food that I opened and switch food brands. If the seizures stop, this company is going to have a lot of explaining to do. Everyone, do yourself and your dogs a favor. DO NOT buy Pedigree brand foods!!

Pedigree Chicken flavor dog food got all my dogs sick. I have 2 Black Labs and 2 Chihuahuas all got sick after eating this stuff after 3 days. I found mold on the food after I realized my dogs got sick. I just bought this bag last week and I store the dog food in my house not a garage as most do. The fact is, the dog food was moldy when I bought it. I contacted Pedigree by email and haven't heard a word yet from them.

After last night's experience with our dog (second seizure in 3 weeks), we knew there had to be a connection with what she ate. Her first seizure occurred after eating Pedigree dry food for several days. Last night's occurred after eating Pedigree canned Chicken & Rice dinner. Fortunately I'd only bought a mid-size bag of the dry food, but unfortunately it was all consumed. We took the remaining unopened cans of food back to the store today. The customer service clerk said they've had a lot of dog food returns in the last week, many with sad stories. Our dog will be on a very bland diet for awhile and hopefully won't suffer any more seizures. One thing's for sure, we won't be buying anymore Pedigree!

I have a 1 1/2 year old pit bull that has serious seizures. I wasn't sure what was causing it but after reading all this reviews on Pedigree I think I found what's causing them. He has seizures every once in a while but the days that he does it gets really bad, about 6 or 7 seizures a day and it completely changes him. He will look lost and he paces back and forth until he has another. He is the most playful and loving dog I've ever had. We have him on medication but doesn't seem to help. This is a terrible product. I don't know why they still allow this to be sold. If you have experienced this you know this is the scariest thing ever.

I have been feeding my otherwise healthy 4-year old Chihuahua Pedigree Pouches for 2 years. Two days ago she started with vomiting, bloody stools, lethargy, and no eating or drinking. Took her to the vet and they ran tests. They said she has a bacterial infection related to the food. She is currently on IV's as she started to go into kidney failure. She may not even make it. Do yourself a favor and do not even take the chance on Pedigree dog food.

Both my doxies have ate the pedigree sensitive formula dry food for several years. They are doxies and get stomach upset with certain food. The sensitive is the only one that don't upset their stomachs. The stores aren't carrying it anymore. Can you tell me why please...

I switched my dog from Purina to Pedigree because I think she had an allergy to it. Well she was on Pedigree not even two months when she started having seizures. She has no history of having them before. I started looking into it and realized I'm not the only one having this issue. I don't get how big animal companies put toxins into its food. I went to Petco and talked to them about all-natural foods. They have big bags that are around $30. I would really suggest and stress to people to switch to healthy food. It could save your animal's life.

Super Bowl Sunday I gave each of my 4 Golden Retrievers a Dentastix that I had bought the day before at Sam's Club in Wausau WI. Within 4 hours all 4 of the dogs were seriously sick. Coming out both ends. I immediately put them on a mixture of rice, boiled ground chuck and water. I went through this for 4 days. 3 of them got better but my 12 year old did not. I took him to the vet and had a complete blood panel drawn and read. His panel was actually perfect but he had what they called bacteria blow out. He was put on 7 pills a day for 5 days along with the rice and ground chuck.

I have had cats and dogs my whole life and never had any major medical problems with any of them. Take them for their shots, have them checked out, and do the regular pet owner responsibilities. In the last few years (since 2006) we have adopted 4 dogs. One we adopted to family and the other 3 we kept. All dogs ate Pedigree. About a year ago my beagle started staying with my in-laws while my husband worked in the area. They switched his food to Blue. He did great on it, but it was more expensive than Pedigree, so when my husband transferred, we switched him back. Within days he was bleeding, diarrhea, and vomiting. He went back to the vet and was put on medication for a while. He now is on Blue again and back with my in-laws.

Pedigree lamb and chicken chunk loaf - I have been feeding my Labradors and my Shar Pei the canned product as stated above. My mother also has done the same with her 5 dogs. For dry food we feed a higher quality holistic high protein kibble. We would add a couple of tablespoons into their food as a treat but as of late (approx the past 6 months) I have noticed there is a lot of brown jelly/fat around the entire contents of the loaf. I thought maybe the dogs had gotten into some garbage and were causing loose bowel movements but now this would make sense now. After a visit to the vet and on antibiotics for the possible cause of viral/bacterial infection I now know what may be the cause and will not use the product again.

I have a 7 year old golden retriever. He is my beautiful friend so when he started to have seizures it broke my heart. He started eating Pedigree large breed dry food. When we got another dog we purchased large bags from Costco to save money. Bear my retriever and buddy a mutt that I got from a farm both were eating Pedigree. Bear started having seizures after eating Pedigree for about 6 months. I did some research after the vet found nothing wrong with him and it said that dogs have seizure because their bodies are trying to get rid of a toxin. I thought maybe he was eating something outside so started to leash him when going outside. He still continued to have seizures which seemed to be getting more severe. I decide to try a natural food nitro naturals and after only one week he stopped having seizures. He is happy and has so much more energy. I feel bad that I did not switch sooner.

After feeding my dog pedigree dog food, my dog who is three years old started having seizures. She could have as many as three a week. We started her on seizure medication but the seizures. We finally took her off pedigree and started making her food herself (chicken and rice). The seizures have stopped and we are getting ready to gradually take her off her medication.

Yesterday I purchased a bag of Pedigree small dog dry food for our 2 yr old chihuahua. I gave her a small bowl of it around 8 pm to see if she liked it. At about 10 pm that same evening, after putting her in her crate to sleep...she usually doesn't make a peep til morning...she began frantically scratching on the crate door to be let out. I took her outside and she had a bowel movement. I put her in her crate again but she wouldn't settle down and an hour later she started scratching and whining to be let out again. We went through this process several times throughout the night. Today she was very agitated and shaking. She produced 2 more bowel movements outside and had an accident inside which though still solid it was softer than usual. She seemed to calm down and a few hours later I had to go pick my daughter up so I put her in our bathroom with her bed and some toys and a small bowl of water.

In August of 2013, our lab began having severe diarrhea, became listless, had difficulty breathing, and in less than 24 hours died on our living room floor. She was in good health and pretty active. She was 10 yrs old. On this day, we knew she wasn't feeling well, but assumed it was something that would pass. Instead later that evening she would let out a weak yelp, then whimper. She did this a few times, then bled out through the rectum and died.

We changed our regular canned food to Pedigree can food. Within a few days our 5 yr old English Bulldog started having intense seizures. Stopped feeding her Pedigree and she stopped seizures. Never again! Please get the word out. I thought she was going to die.

Always fed Pedigree because I trust it. But I am afraid. My dog is sick now, and her symptoms are like what others are posting. Has an investigation been done? If not how can we as consumers request one? I have been buying the Adult Dry and last week, our lab/Samoyed mix just went off her food, would not get up from lying down, and is lethargic and not herself. The dog has always had a tail wagging appetite, but now will not eat her food, even if I soak it in fresh chicken broth.

I opened a new bag of Pedigree dog food on Feb 23, 2015. The evening of Feb 24, 2015 my Pomeranian had over 7 Grand Mal Seizures throughout the night. I can only assume he had more when I had fallen asleep. He was taken to the vet Feb 25, 2015 in the am and is now on seizure medications for the rest of his life. He had no history of seizures prior to this. Also on the evening of Feb 24th, 2015 my other dog who is larger suddenly was unable to walk and refused to move. He is a year old with a lot of energy. When he tried to even put his head up, it would fall to the side immediately. He was observed overnight and in the morning, he was fine. My dogs have always been very healthy with no health issues until this day. The only difference was this bag of dog food!!

I feed my dogs Purina dog chow. Normally they love it but were getting bored. I bought a small bag of Pedigree to try them on it. I fed it to one of my dogs one night. The next morning he vomited, had diarrhea and collapsed. Rushed him to vet. He was put on iv fluids and a series of tests were run. Liver enzymes should be in the 100's. His were over 3000. Vet anticipated he would not make it. Prayers answered and he did. It took a few weeks until levels normal. Vet said it looked like a poisoning.

I have never in my life given my dog wet dog food. She had just given birth to her first litter of puppies and I thought I would give her a treat. I purchased a can of Pedigree Wet Food from the pet store. Just a regular 13.2 ounce can with vegetables and Lamb. That night we had to take her to the vet because she went into anaphylactic shock due to the wet food. She was given meds and 3 different IVs. The vet told us it is what she ate. Luckily she made it, but if we had waited any longer she would not have. I have spent the last 4 weeks bottle feeding her puppies due to the medication she had to take would be given to her litter if they nursed. I will never again buy Pedigree. I am so disappointed that these pet food companies don't care about our pets.

I had two beautiful healthy dogs - Rex 11 yrs 65 lbs (Shepherd mix), Riley 5yrs 85 lbs(boxer). I purchased a 55 lb of Pedigree @ Sam's Club. I generally switch off between Pedigree and dog chow by Purina. However they have been on Pedigree for a while. After feeding Rex on 2/14/15 Rex became ill very lethargic, vomiting, hunched at the shoulders and hips thinking maybe stomach virus. As the day went on his condition declined, labored breathing. Took him to emergency vets - high temp of 105+. He was admitted. IV fluids and antibiotic given along with pain high dosages of pain medication. Could not touch his abdomen without him screaming in pain. Went over several questions with vet what he ate, did he get into something etc...

I had been mixing my dog's dry food (Taste of the Wild) with Pedigree canned Chicken & Rice for the past 2-3 months. I ran out of her dry food and for 2 weeks I fed her the Pedigree canned food without the dry. Gradually she was eating less and less. She was sleeping more than usual, and the day before she died, she did not eat at all, by the late evening she was very lethargic and early (5am) the following morning she passed. I am convinced it was the Pedigree dog food that poisoned her to her death. I still have the last can she ate from, in my fridge, and will freeze it or otherwise, once advised by the proper authorities. If the batch number (2 different numbers stamped on the bottom of the can) or the barcode is needed, I can provide if requested.

I purchased and gave my 4 month old puppy Pedigree for small dogs and for 2 days my puppy was laid out would not eat or drink, threw up and had no energy. We thought he was going to die. I gave him chicken broth and rice water and by the 2nd day he drank it a bit he was very dehydrated but did not eat for 4 days.

My healthy 7 1/2 year old dog died suddenly days after eating pedigree targeted nutrition food. I bought this "different version" and the next day she refused to eat it. Then 3 days later had a seizure and died.

Last September to December, I had purchased 4 bags of the 40 lbs pedigree for adult dogs. When I got near the bottom after daily feedings, there was green stuff coating the dog food. It looks to be mold or mildew. My vet is convinced this is what's causing my dog's seizures.

The last two boxes I have purchased is filled mostly of water, causing a mess when I opened it. And I use to give my dog one pouch but now I have to give my dog two pouches to fill her up, so I can no longer afford to feed my dog your product.

We started feeding our 3 dogs Pedigree adult nutrition dog food about 1 yr ago and didn't have problems until about 3 months ago. We noticed that our middle dog {Collie-Border Collie] started throwing up. Now mind you all 3 of our dogs have been healthy up until this. I asked our Vet and he said to immediately take them off Pedigree dog food and put them on Purina dog food. To go back our oldest dog {Jack Russell} and had had no health problems until this. We also have a female Jack Russell that we had just rescued and was giving her pedigree dog food. We noticed that all 3 dogs were throwing up, our male Jack Russell had really bad diarrhea, throwing up and losing weight at a very quick rate. We noticed they were all 3 very sick and spoke with our Vet and he said take them off Pedigree immediately. Our male Jack Russell was almost emaciated and we thought he was just old and dying until I spoke with our Vet!

I got a package of filet mignon stackers for my pups for Valentines day. I gave them some last night and today they threw up three times. They are listless and I am hoping they will be ok.

I had a 4 year old purebred male Boxer that died from a digestive disorder. His food was Pedigree which I never suspected. 6 doctors and 3 hospital visits later I suspected the chicken treats, now I think it's the food because I got another Boxer 2 years old and he is losing weight and has diarrhea! I caught it after a week and switched to Canidae and he is on the road to recovery! That ** should be outlawed! It's killing our pets!

So my Yorkie had 6 puppies and when they were ready to eat puppy chow we gave them Pedigree canned puppy food. When our first puppy died, we thought he had gotten into some rat poison lying in our kitchen, but we soon refuted that observation due to the fact that they were so small and would die immediately. Then another puppy died. She was taken to the vet and they said that it was due to dehydration, but when they looked at her further they said they had no clue what was wrong. They said it was probably depression. Now another of our puppies are getting sick and we know why.

I have fed Pedigree adult formula for the last 3.5 years. I knew it wasn't top of the line but it was affordable and I always added canned chicken and vegetables or some canned Purina dog food. Recently my puppy who is 11 months old and my 5 year old saint bernard began having diarrhea, itchy skin, and gas. The gas was so bad my puppy (something that doesn't usually happen to dogs so young) and my 5 year old had an anemia flare up. I thought at first it was just our luck of the draw until my 5 year also began bloating. I switched her food (something not recommended due to her blood disease) and the bloating is gone. I will not be using this food anymore regardless... but was there an ingredient change?

My dog wouldn't eat her 5 pm meal but later she was looking for food. so I gave her the chicken casserole, she turned her nose up but she was hungry and came back and ate it 5 minutes later. This was at 10 pm. Went to bed at midnight and she started to throw up triangle chunks. She did one lot of chucking then again 5 minutes later. By 2 am, she had did a big black tar-like stool, then by 2.30, she passed congealed blood, then passing bright red blood and convulsing. At 4 am, I had her in the vets on life support. She passed away at 6 am. Her red cell count was 22 and should have been in the 40s. She was so cold at 32 degree. We raised her temp to 36. She was with us eyes wide open, vet saying she was anemic. She even gave her heart compressions.

I have fed Pedigree dog food for a few years now with no real problem. I bought a bag of Pedigree healthy longevity a few days ago and my two dogs, an eleven year old dobe and a three year old pit bull, began throwing up the next day. This stuff was still looking like they had just eaten it, completely undigested. After reading everyone's comment on here I am putting this "dog food" in the garbage and will not be feeding it again!!!

I have been buying this food for about 20 years now for my dogs. In November my 2 chihuahuas got very sick. One, almost 3, ate a huge bowl and died by morning. My other, 7, ate some too and was super sick for days. Took him to vet, he had vertigo. Docs said it would pass but possibly come back. Ran labs, gave IV about a week later, better now. He still is getting vertigo and it's definitely imparted him neurologically. It's pathetic. So once again I just bought a bag of this food for my bigger dog and the last 2 days she's been vomiting and diarrhea. Losing a pet is very hard on a family with kids and now our other pet’s sick too. This needs to stop. Your food should be recalled.

I will be destroying 154 - 22 oz. cans and 158 - 13 oz cans of pedigree dog food. Although i have fed canned pedigree dog food for the past 30 years or more I believe the dog food may have contributed to the death of 2 of my 7 dogs, one in December and one this morning. Both dogs began heavy panting the day after feeding pedigree canned dog food, then loss of appetite, and entered into apparent congestive heart failure. One died in the vet's office and the other before I had a chance to get her there. I can't say for certain that the pedigree was the culprit but I for one have definitely lost confidence in the product and fear for the safety of my other pets if I continue to use it.

I had 3 healthy dogs at home. Rex was the eldest at 6 yrs. old. The other 2 are the daughters at 5 yrs. old. Approximately 1 week ago, I purchased Pedigree Vitality + Original Flavor (Vital Pocket) at Walmart in town and now my beautiful pal is dead. He died 4 days ago, and I noticed that my two lovely girls were refusing to eat their food. One of them has diarrhea. Today, I noticed they were not eating even after exercises, which was very abnormal as they are strong eaters. It was then that decided to verify if there were complaints online re- Pedigree and specifically the dry type. This led me to this website and after reading numerous complaints from other pet owners who lost their dogs soon after switching to Pedigree Vitality + Original Flavor (Vital Pocket), I have no doubts that my Rex who just passed away died from Pedigree Vitality + Original Flavor (Vital Pocket) that I bought.

I fed my German Shepherd, Ziva, Pedigree dog food. It was nothing fancy, just regular dry adult dog food in a 46ish pound bag. I started feeding it to her around January or February 2014, when I noticed she all but refused to eat the Purina I fed her. All was well until in April. I moved back to my mom's, and shortly after my mom saw Ziva's first seizure. We got her on meds for the seizures, thinking she was just epileptic, and kept feeding her the same Pedigree her whole life. The meds helped, but never stopped the seizures.

I gave my Borzoi Pedigree dog food for the first time. He began having diarrhea and then vomiting. I took him off of it immediately. Do not buy Pedigree.

We purchased our 55lb bag of Pedigree Dog Food at Costco in Fredericksburg, VA. With several months remaining until the expiration date, I've already found chunks of the dry food molded together and lots of discoloration. We are not sure if our 9 year old Golden Retriever's recent health issue is a result, but we are keeping an even closer eye on her now.

I have a 2 year old JR X and she has recently been really sick, lethargic, very restless. The vet has seen her once and this week she is going in for blood tests, but we have concluded that these bouts of severe sickness come after eating Pedigree Dentastix .

Had been using Dentastix for large dogs from Sam's Club for some time and the dogs loved them. Ran out and went to HEB they had only small/medium. Purchased 2 pouches. First pouch no real issues. Second pouch, fed Harley & Reject 1 treat each. Next morning Harley stomach was swollen, he was dead within 3 hours. Reject and I were obviously shaken by the loss. That night gave Reject two of the small/medium (about the same as large, he weighs 60 pounds). About an hour later he vomited his evening meal and some of the Dentastix up. He continued to vomit every time he ate or drank. Put him in the hospital that evening as he was looking dehydrated. He is not eating and without the IV would be dead. The only link between the dogs is Pedigree Dentastix as they are fed different foods.

Vomiting within 2 days in both dogs with Pedigree Stackerz treats. The treats were partially digested in large clumps. My dogs have now vomited over 10 times, no desire to eat and they look very sick. Tomorrow we have a appointment with the vet.

We started feeding our dogs dental stix and all the dogs started having digestive problems. One dog has been in hospital over week and half dying from digestive problems, while not eating or drinking. I want these dental stix tested for poisons.

My dog has had three seizures after each time she ate Pedigree pet dog food, which is six total. She was taken to an emergency clinic, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I am suspecting the Pedigree food is to blame. She is doing well for now.

I have a 14 year old rat terrier that has lost some teeth so I gave her pedigree chicken and rice dinner canned food. She ate it fine for a while then we got some cans that had a strong odor and she did not seem to like it. I thought they had changed the formula but got new cans and they didn't smell or look the same. I have called the company at 18005255273 to see if any complaints or recalls had been reported. The lady that I spoke with said "no we haven't had any complaints." She asked for the information from the bad smelling cans but I had thrown them away so no complaint was logged.

Our dog is fed Nutro products and has been fine. He is 2 1/2 years old and still likes to play and gnaw, so this last week we gave him a large Dentastix on Monday and another one on Thursday only to awaken early Saturday morning to our dog convulsing in a seizure. This has never happened until we gave him the Pedigree Dentastix, so our vet cannot confirm nor deny if that is the cause, but we are avoiding all Pedigree products from now on. Our dog was lethargic all day yesterday but seems fine today (thankfully, he'll stay that way).

I have been feeding my dog Pedigree dog food for some time and wondered why she would not eat it until she was starving. She would go outside and catch whatever else she could to eat instead. But upon leaving her with friends she was forced to eat it and now is sick. What are we suppose to do to get our dogs health back? Will she need a vet? And who pays for these expenses? Do not buy Pedigree products!

Started feeding my dog last week a can of chopped chicken [450bkkcf 0534kc] and beef [451bkkcc 041608]. He became sick, vomiting, weak in two days. Today he died.

We started feeding our great Dane the pedigree large breed formula years ago and never had a problem. But just this fall he began getting extremely sick. He started throwing up, wouldn't drink or eat and started losing way too much weight. We took him to the vet and they couldn't really say what the matter was. After switching his dog food he started doing a little better but we came home later that day and he had died in his sleep. We were so depressed not knowing the cause for him losing weight and being so sick. Now that I have read everyone else's comments I know that the dog food was the problem! We loved our dog very much and are saddened to know that a company that is suppose to love our pets too has killed so many. I will never go back to pedigree dog food ever!!!!

I have fed my male Bichon Poodle cross and female Terrier this food for years. They are the same age. In 2013 my male was diagnosed with diabetes at age 8. Now my female just got diagnosed at age 9. In 2015 what are my chances both dogs getting diabetes? Well I did some research. It is very possible Pedigree has caused it. I feel so terrible for feeding my dogs this. If there were any one else has the same problem, I would love to know.

My boyfriend and I have a Pitbull Terrier who is 9 years old and has been eating Pedigree dog food for years, only the past few months he's been slowly eating less and less. The past week he hasn't even touched his food and has lost a lot of weight, shivers, has diarrhea. We brought him to the vet the other day and she couldn't find out what was wrong with him. She suggested feeding him boiled chicken and white rice with no flavors on it. I do not understand how a company can sell a dog food that is killing so many animals.

Been using pedigree for two years then they switched to chicken flavor at target. My dogs started eating grass and vomiting, one started having seizures and died. The other two won't eat and are having trouble, one can't hold his pee and the other can't hold his bowels. Have changed food but am worried the other two dogs may have been poisoned and hope they improve. If not, pedigree poisoned all three of my dogs.

Both of our dogs developed rashes, hair loss, diarrhea, and began vomiting since we tried Pedigree dog food. We weren't certain the cause of their ailments until they began rejected the Pedigree altogether! Doing research online we found very similar incidents and causes me to suspect poison in Pedigree products. Petco just pulled all Chinese dog treats, and I wonder if independent analysis has been done on the Pedigree products to determine if Chinese ingredients are actually being used in the Pedigree ingredients. We have since spend hundreds in medical bills for our animals, and have switched to Burt Ward's Gentle Giant dog food. Our dogs absolutely devour it and are definitely improving in their health, overall.

I changed my dog food to pedigree canned thinking it would be better for her without reading the reviews. I have never seen my dog so sick and she also has zero energy. I contacted pedigree about this, "it must be the batch, we've never had a complaint about the food." BS! Pedigree has to stop ignoring this and start paying owners' vet bills! Their food also needs to be banned! Please don't buy your dog this food, it's not any cheaper than healthier brands and don't get drawn in by the ads! I've put my dog onto iams and she's doing a bit better each day!

I gave my beloved dog Enos, a large Jumbone of which he consumed 3/4 of over the course of the evening. That was odd because he usually consumed the entire jumbone treat all at once but this time, he acted as if it wasn't as tasty to him as they usually were. The next day he became very sick and was throwing up so we took him to the vet, they did blood work and said something was terribly wrong with his liver and that nothing could be done. We did not have the many thousands of dollars required to hospitalize him and he was suffering terribly so our only options were to take him home in his miserable condition or have him put down - so he was put down. I died a little that day as well, he was my best friend on this earth. I question my decision every day, did that Jumbone kill him or was it something else - I will most likely never know.

After purchasing and feeding my dog one of your dog treats, he started getting diarrhea. This is the first time I try a Pedigree product and it will definitely be the last. I disposed of the remainder of the bag treat in the garbage. My dog, who is 3 1/2 has never reacted in such a way with a new treat. I will never again purchase any of your products.

I was running low on dog food & quickly ran to get my 4yr old Yorkie food and they only had Pedigree so I gave her that. She now has lost a severe amount of weight, has black, runny, tarry stools & isn't her active self. She won't eat nor drink anything. We have made her an appointment today with our local animal hospital. I wouldn't recommend ANYONE to use pedigree. This is ridiculous and I will be further investigating this & freezing the food just in case. These animals are our babies & this is unacceptable!!!!

We had been feeding our black lab and pit bull dried pedigree for years. Like so many others we bought the chicken flavor dried 55lb bag from Walmart in Anniston, AL when they quit selling the beef flavor. Both dogs started throwing up foam and pit also had diarrhea, heavy panting and both got so lethargic they could not get around. We thought it was age. Our lab was 12 years old and our pit was ten. Both dogs had to be put down one week apart in May of 2014. It is heartbreaking to think we actually lost our otherwise healthy babies due to a dog food we had used for years. They were our children and treated as such. Our malti also got sick and the vet could not figure out what was wrong but kept her in ICU for two days, giving her IV fluids and pulling all food. She also changed her diet to I/D. She did not eat for almost a month when she got home. We nearly lost her and paid $1,250.00 to the vet.

Pedigree Healthy Weight Targeted Nutrition Chicken Flavor - Bought to help with weight loss for 2 dogs. 1 dog barely ate, other dog ate & went into seizures 3 days later. Rushed to emergency vet & dog had 3rd seizure. Vet couldn't figure out what was wrong, only that dog having allergy reactions. Dog also now blind & deaf on right side. Dog on seizure meds & anti-biotics & was doing much better. Not knowing it was the food, fed Pedigree & dog got sick again but no seizures as was already on meds for that. Other dog refused to eat the food, so she is not sick. Have 3rd dog who eats Beneful puppy - she never got sick. Vet bills were $900.00! Don't know if dog will ever get completely well again! Will never buy Pedigree food again, that's for sure! I feel as if I have poisoned my baby! I will save some of food in freezer for testing.

Soon after feeding my 10 year old black lab the dry, Pedigree dog food he stopped eating, began vomiting, & bleeding from his rectum. Why do they allow this garbage to be sold?

We had an 8 year old Yellow Lab. In the last 6 months we had been buying the 55 pound bags of Pedigree Chicken Flavor dog food. She started losing a lot of weight. We took her to the emergency pet hospital because she was urinating blood. She started passing black bloody stools and she had to be put down. So now we have spent 2000.00 dollars.

I have fed my dogs pedigree dry dog food for many years. My 10 year old Doberman suddenly lost weight in July, had black diarrhea and quit eating. I started her on antibiotics and gave her water with a medicine dropper several times a day. We could not coax her to eat anything. I expected her to die everyday. We spoon fed her baby food and little bits of bacon treats. Slowly she recovered although she looked like a walking skeleton. We gave her scrambled eggs, hash browns and wet dog food, then tried Beneful. She finally started eating again and put her weight back on. I thought she had gotten into something in the barn maybe so we confined her to the backyard and she steadily improved.

Several months ago I began to feed my goldens a mix of dry and canned pedigree beef chunks. They were always excited about feeding when I picked up the can. I accidentally picked up chicken and both dogs had diarrhea thereafter. Returned for the beef chunks and all was good. The last few weeks, they have ignored their food. Bought blue wilderness for a change of flavor. Ate it just fine. Switched back to pedigree. They ate but one of my pups is now lethargic and not going out to use the bathroom. Nor has he eaten the last few days. The other pup hasn’t eaten much the last few days and today refused the pedigree mix. Both dogs sniffed today’s food and turned away. So I bagged the food. Washed the bowl and put out new canned blue wilderness food. Ailing dog still not eating ...the other ate right away. Something is wrong with the pedigree food. Happened here in the last couple of months. Please find out what is wrong. Freezing bagged food if you need it.

I feed my dogs Pedigree Adult Chicken Flavor 55 lb bag from Sam's. About 2 weeks ago both dogs started having intense diarrhea; took both to the vet and was prescribed antibiotics. I have been gradually adding back dry food to chicken and rice and one dog is starting to have disgusting flatulence and diarrhea again with less than her full amount of dry food. Got online to look at reviews to see that not only have multiple people reported diarrhea/sickness from the same type of dog food (55 lb bag and all) but that one other person had THE SAME EXACT experience as me (diarrhea, vet, antibiotics, dry food reintroduction, diarrhea again). Three dogs have died from kidney failure... Switching tonight, no questions asked. This needs to be handled; I want my money back for the dog food and multiple vet bills!!!!!

Pedigree Dog food also killed my dog. She was a 6 year old German Shepherd, she suddenly started having urinary problems, lasted about three months then went into kidney failure and I had to put her down. After over $1000 in vet bills, the vet couldn't tell me what happened, but after reading others' experiences on this site, I believe it was the Pedigree dog food. Why isn't there an investigation into this, could it be because they're not poisoning people directly?

I started giving my pug the pedigree food 6 months back...since then he started feeling down...and low...and fallen sick within a short span of time. I thought it was due to seasonal change but NO....it was due to that damn PEDIGREE FOOD THAT I LOST MY 4 YEARS OLD PUG THIS WEEK. I want that pedigree should be banned as it had already taken many lives of dogs...I am very much pet lover and I don't want any pet lover to face such kind of problem so please...make the people aware that PEDIGREE IS A POISON AND A WAY TO DEATH FOR ANY DOG.

I bought a bag of 55 pound Pedigree Adult complete chicken flavor for my labs, age 5 and 7. After eating the first meal they became sick but I thought maybe a bug or something, next feeding they refused to eat. After a couple of days my 7 year old was acting better on different food but my beloved 5 year old never recovered and had to be put down due to kidney failure. It was something we're not prepared for and blindsided us!!!! I BELIEVE IT WAS DUE TO THE FOOD and have wrote to Pedigree about this and will wait for a response. I still have the bag and want it tested. It will never bring back my Amber but I want justice for the pain we have been caused and also the mental pain my other lab is going through looking for her friend. I do not want this to happen to any more families!!!!

My dog on Nov 2, 2014 started having the worst case of the runs I have ever seen. He couldn't hold it to get outside and was very very sick. We took him to the vet and she gave him medicine because we didn't know what was wrong, and yesterday I started mixing in his dry dog food in his chicken and rice because he's at that point where you do that and the runs started again! DO NOT BUY pedigree dry dog food! This is the cause of his problem!

I got a coupon for a free bag of Pedigree stackerz treats. I have never purchased any Pedigree products because my dog is a picky eater. But being that the item was free, I figured I'd give it a try. I gave a piece to my dog, he seemed to like it and ate the entire treat. Within less than 30 minutes, my dog started acting weird. He laid down and went to sleep, his belly popping & making noises. Ten minutes after he fell asleep, he sits straight up, body stiff, teeth clenched and a strange look on his face. OMG! He's having a seizure. I screamed! It lasted around 1-2 minutes. He was very exhausted and did not eat for a day and a half! I then gave him another of the stackerz treat. Again, within 30 minutes he had another seizure! This time he threw up, looking pitiful. I thought he was being poisoned by those treats. I threw them in the trash! Then I found this sight and realized I'm correct! Shame on you people at Pedigree!!! Innocent lives have been taken and turned upside down. If you have no compassion for animals, don't be making their food!!!

I have been feeding Pedigree for the last 10 years. My dogs used to clean up 3 bowls of food daily, now they eat one bowl between them. I actually read the bag yesterday and was very surprised to see that I was feeding a chicken based product. I have fed beef products for years. I understand it's all about the money, but Pedigree should have made a HUGE statement on the bag that the protein was now being derived from chicken. My older lab mix seems to have less energy and drier hair coat on this formula than on the beef. I have started adding oil to the diet to help with itching.

I fed my 4 year old Standard Poodle Pedigree dog food 55 lbs bag...2 weeks... died of kidney failure. He was treated by vet, never recovered. Each day he became sicker....this was the only change in his life or habits. My niece has 4 dogs sick on 2x round of antibiotic, fed Pedigree, problems with urine void.

I have had an issue with my dog several mornings recently. She had dog food two times a day and has been throwing up mostly fluid. Today when she threw up it was one of the rectangular pieces of dog food that is in this particular product. I tried to break it up and it seems like it is rubber and possibly indigestible. Has there been a problem with this recently? I am almost afraid to give her more and of course I do not have the bag as I put her food in a large canister. Thank you for listening.

I started my cockapoo on dry Pedigree dog food and she started with horrible diarrhea and itching constantly. Unfortunately, I purchased two bags of it and now I have to throw it away. There is obviously something in this dog food that causes diarrhea and itching (which she rarely had prior to eating the Pedigree for the first time). I'm going to go back to fixing my dogs meat, potato, vegetables and forget packaged dog food. And I will never again buy Pedigree.

I purchased a large bag (20lb or so) from Dollar General within the past 2 weeks. While feeding him this morning, I found a moldy lump of dry dog food in the bag. I've been feeding Rufus from this bag since I purchased it. Somewhere heads are going to roll. . . depend upon it...

I had a litter of Yorkie puppies that I started on pedigree canned puppy food at the age of 6-7 weeks. At 8 weeks old I noticed a lack of energy and found one puppy unresponsive early one morning. I picked him up and his jaw was clenched and eyes were twitching as though he was blinking very rapidly. He then began to have horrible seizures, and then died. Not knowing what happened, I continued to feed the 3 remaining pups the pedigree canned puppy food and 5 days later it happened again. The puppy acted as though she was tired for a day or 2 and then she started having seizures, and died the same day. The next day the third puppy started to lose energy and sleep more often than not. I was scared to death it was happening again. I took the puppy food away from them and fed them boiled chicken, raw eggs, baby rice cereal and puppy replacer milk. The 3rd pup who was barely able to move has now made a full recovery and they are now very active and energetic, the way puppies are supposed to be. I have had several litters of puppies throughout the years and always few them pedigree canned puppy food without any issues, but after losing these 2 babies I will never again feed any sort of pedigree to my dogs.

I realize you are trying to save money even though your prices go up still, however whatever you call chopped chicken looks different and God knows what you add to the little chicken. You add my 2 yorkies, refuse to eat it and I do not blame them. They have been on strike for 3 days and I ended up buying them the expensive Newman dog food which I cannot afford on a steady basis as I am on Disability. So what gives? My Yorkies are not people, however: they should not be forced to eat the slop you now produce in order to get richer.

My Weimaraner had his 13th birthday, in good health, and to get him a treat, I went to the store looking for something. I decided on Dentastix, WRONG DECISION!!! He chewed it, and the next morning by 10:45 he was dead. When I left to go to work at 8:00, his stomach was making noises and he was laying on the sofa. He wouldn't get up, so I asked my daughter who was home from college to keep an eye on him. She and my husband took him to the vet and he passed on the way.

I was looking for an additional snack/reward that was not raw, for my two Lhasa Apso dogs. I chose DentalStix. I fed these for around a year as a snack. During this time, I found that my dogs developed an irritating itch on their back and head etc which they scratched until raw. I visited a vet who informed me it could be a food or environmental allergy. As a result I started cutting out ALL processed foods (Including DentalStix) over several weeks, also maintaining a spotless home and keeping the dogs away from grass and pollen, where possible. This strategy paid off, as the allergy symptoms of both dogs decreased by around 90%.

I recently was feeding my lab the PetSmart food brand. I needed to buy dog food recently and I seen that the Pedigree VITALITY+ Dry Food For Adult Dogs in Turkey Flavor was on sale. I decided to give it a try, biggest mistake ever. Within a night my dog's stool went from a healthy brown to pitch black. To me thinking he had something wrong internally, I decided to try and maybe see if it had something to do with the food by switching back to the old PetSmart brand and sure enough that's what it was. I will never buy Pedigree kibble again. If you love your dog don't feed them this garbage.

Purchased numerous cans of Pedigree Vital dog food, beef with gravy and have noticed two of the cans did not have any beef at all. It was just full of gravy. It is very poor quality and control when you pay for one product and get another. No beef means I purchased a can of gravy! Not good enough.

Short of money so bought Pedigree dog food for my schnauzer cross. It smelt vile. Ever since she has had bad gas, become lethargic. Used to love her walk - so sad. I threw food out but still no change. It's done something to her gut, don't know what to do.

When giving my dog these treats I decided to break them up. What I found in every one is what appears to be short pieces of fishing line approx. 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch long. I have stopped giving them to my dog & still have the bag. I am going to contact the company on October 13, 2014 and find out what this is. Please everyone check your treats before giving to your pet. I will update this complaint as soon as I get answers from Pedigree. # on bag is 4 13 A 3 OHW 06 00:33. Best by date is 03/23/15 13 6.

Just opened a new bag 22 lbs and the smell is enough to gag. The bag smells rancid. My whole house now stinks and I will not even try to feed this to my dogs. I tried to contact Pedigree and could not find any way to see if there was a recall on the lot number. I will never feed them this again as I have now read several articles about sick dogs. I was wondering if this is why they do not have a contact number.

I recently started buying Pedigree puppy food for my little Pomeranian. He was eating puppy chow before I had him. He is about a month and a half old now. When I started him on Pedigree a week later he started having seizures. He gets really tired and just sleep all day. Usually he would be playing but ever since he ate that dog food he have been having seizures 2 times a day out of a week... I know when he gets ready to have one he stop playing and before he have one he will start jumping and whining so I advise you to stop feeding your dogs Pedigree.

I purchased a large bag of Pedigree from Target in order to save money. Since I purchased the dog food 3 weeks ago both of my dogs have been experiencing severe itching, hot spots, scratching excessively, vomiting. After researching their symptoms I have found that the dog food is the problem. I purchased Chlor-Trimeton which is allergy medication. I no longer give them dog food and had to throw 1/2 of a 50 lb bag of food in the trash. I now prepare their food (chicken, green beans, bread and other vegetables) until all of their symptoms subside. I have never had any dog develop this problem. Now to have 2 dogs develop this problem is not a coincidence.

Yesterday, I bought my first bag of Pedigree dry dog food. About an hour after feeding it to my two year old Staffordshire Terrier, he had a terrible seizure. It was his first seizure and I can't help but to think it is related to the Pedigree dog food. Obviously, it scared the hell out of me!! I thought he was going to die. Afterward, he had a much smaller one. I am going today to buy an all natural food.

My beautiful dog was enjoying her daily Dentastix when she stated choking. Yes choking on a Dentastix. It has splintered like a cooked bone would (which you would never give your dog) and jammed itself in her throat. We held her upside down and somehow finally were able to dislodge this and save her life. I was certain we had lost her several times and it was the most distressing time. DO NOT BUY THESE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

My 4 yr old mini pin has eaten Pedigree for most of his life and my 2 yr old chihuahua has eaten a variety of commercial brands including Pedigree and Purina for most of his life. Both really enjoy the commercial brands, but I decided that it would be worth it to start feeding them better food. It started when I ran out of the Purina brand I had feed them for a couple months and at the last minute I picked up a 5lb bag of Pedigree to make it through till pay day. That week they ate it up, but I began to notice that they both were sneezing and scratching more than usual. I gave them some Claritin hoping that would help. It did, but I didn't want to get in the habit of giving my dogs allergy meds. So, I researched food and decided to upgrade their diet.

Throwing up for about 12 hours two days ago and very loud stomach rumblings. Taking her to vet tomorrow... Trying to get her to drink milk. Her stools were very dark and red today... I just realized this is the second time she's sick after I nursed her back to health the first time. I just fed her half of one of the beef flavor stix not realizing this was bringing on these bouts, and her stomach is rumbling loudly again; which made me check the website for Dentastix recalls.

We had been feeding our large breed Boxer mix puppy Nutro brand puppy chow for several months. In an effort to save $, we purchased Pedigree at our local wholesaler. Almost within a day, our puppy's behavior went from serene, sweet, and easily trainable to a hyperactive, anxiety-ridden mess. I couldn't believe the difference. He now pants constantly, paces back and forth, can't seem to sit still, and all of the training we had been having success with is now a big challenge. He can't focus. It's been about a week of this now. We are taking the Pedigree back to the store tomorrow!

I had recently gave my dog some pedigree healthy weight dry dog food. He started puking, had terrible diarrhea, even got to the point where he wouldn't even eat it. My dog eats anything and to see him almost for 2 days not eat anything had me very worried. I could have almost lost my dog if my mother-In-law wouldn't have told me that this dog food company was part of a recall. So disappointed. I do not recommend this dog food for any pet owner! Switched to purina beneful and now he is eating and back to his norm self.

I had a purebred Vizsla for 11 years. During the first five or so years I had him on Pedigree because I did not see anything wrong with it from what I read at that time and he was doing fine. He was energetic all throughout his life. During the past few years I experimented with other dog food and he would have runny stool and such so I would switch him again after awhile. The reason I got away from Pedigree was due to the facts I have been reading about corn, GMO's, and such and I also figured the dog food with main ingredients like lamb, beef, chicken, etc would be healthier.

I supplement my three dogs dry food with Pedigree canned food. As of the last four days all my dogs have had a runny diarrhea. This morning they would not even touch their food. They all eat a premium natural hard food which they have for years. It is hypo allergic and free of fillers and dyes. I have taken them off the pedigree canned food and called my vet who suggested I give them some yogurt or cottage cheese to help combat the problem. Will see how they do over the next few days.

I give my dog a Dentastix everyday and last week he became very ill. He developed diarrhea and started vomiting. I took him to the vet and he received three shots and it took him days before he started acting himself again. I just started adding his Dentastix to his diet again and he is sick again with diarrhea and vomiting and back to the vet we go. Something has to be wrong with my Pedigree Dentastix. I won't be feeding him this anymore. I saved the bag with the lot number just in case they produced a bad batch.

My daughter's 7 month old dog passed away and I believe it was the Pedigree dog food and after reading other testimonies I am more convinced. She purchased a 55 lb bag. A little while before he passed away he didn't want to eat his food and this puppy would eat anything! Then on a Wed. he was lethargic and this puppy is so hyper usually. Then Thursday he began throwing up. Friday he seemed better but on Saturday he started vomiting again. Could not hold anything down. Took him to vet. His liver count was really high - like off the chart - he was put on IVs but continued to get worse. The vet thought he got into antifreeze. Checked yard and there wasn't any. She had to put him down on the Wed. - no definitive answer as to why he got sick so suddenly other than they said he gotten into and ate something he shouldn't have. And I know what it was - Pedigree dog food!!!!!! My daughter is completely heartbroken. We need to get together and do something about this.

My healthy pit/lab mix is dying because of the can I opened up of pedigree which I saved because of the lot number. She is pooping nothing but blood. Just eight hours earlier, she was playing, giving kiss's and running. I am dying inside ....

Pedigree Food is a joke. DO NOT FEED ANYTHING PEDIGREE TO YOUR PETS!! It is crap. Its first ingredient is ground whole corn which is difficult for dogs to digest and is often the cause of allergies. It has many colors and dyes. Why? It's unnecessary and can cause problems for dogs. The fifth ingredient is animal fat. Animal fat is a generic by-product of rendering, the same high-temperature process used to make meat meals. Since there's no mention of a specific animal, this item could come from almost anywhere: roadkill, spoiled supermarket meat, dead, diseased or dying cattle even euthanized pets. If you love your pet, DO NOT feed this "food"!!!

I feed my dogs Natural Balance dry, but I have a finicky elder-bull who will starve himself unless I feed can crap on top. So, because of the convenience and picky-ness, I've been buying Pedigree can. I noticed a really foul smell in the house for a couple of days now, but I couldn't place where it was coming from. Then I opened a new can at feeding time and it almost made me throw up. It smells like a freaking litter box. I don't understand what would make canned food smell like cat poop. Seriously, I am NOT joking. It's awful. I will be returning the rest to the store and switching brands. No wonder my dogs so gassy.

My dog has been eating Pedigree dry dog food every day for 5 years. I feel I have chosen a balanced diet for him and he is adorable, strong, intelligent and bursting with energy. He is fearless and powerful. I recommend it to anyone with a boxer.

We have been feeding our 8 yr Greyhound mix Longevity one for the past months but last month I goofed and bought the joint one. She ate it the first 2 days then refused to eat it... So I went out and bought the longevity this time and mixed it with the old. She ate it for a few days mixed but now she is refusing to eat it again. So I looked up Pedigree to see if they changed the recipe since Purina did that a few years ago and they did that a few years ago with our other dog.. She got violently ill with diarrhea and vomiting. After 2 weeks of that we stopped her food and it stopped. Hmmm coincidental. So tomorrow I am going out to buy her Blue brand... So done with commercial food and going organic. PEDIGREE YOU SUCK!!!!!! As well as PURINA.

We had a Pyrenees/Black Mouth Cur mix dog. He was around seven years old. He was a very pretty and obedient dog. He was part of our family. We had foster kids and they could hang on to his neck and he would just lay down and love on them. He got along with our cat and our other dogs. I had been feeding him Pedigree dog food. I shop at Walmart here in Abilene, TX and he suddenly got sick. I noticed he was losing weight but figured it was from the heat. I noticed he wasn't eating or drinking hardly any and became concerned. My wife got him an appointment to go see the vet on 8-16-2014. We figured there wouldn't be anything serious wrong. They had her leave him for a couple of hours because they were very concerned of his condition.

I left the care of Teddy Bear, my 15-yr-old Yorkie with my son while my husband and I were on a 2-week vacation in Alaska. He'd been having sporadic staring seizures and I'd been seeing personality changes in him for several months which I contributed to his age. He was constantly begging for snack. But, when we left, he was having no health concerns. Three days before we were to come home, my son called and said Teddy was staring, had very bad diarrhea, and was not eating or drinking. It being late Friday and our vet being out of town, he wasn't able to get him medical care until early Sunday morning. I received a call from the vet. He was severely dehydrated and wouldn't be able to diagnose until he was given an IV, etc. He was in terrible condition. I okayed him to put him to sleep. I wanted to end his suffering.

I just discovered worms (larvae) in our pedigree dog food. I was totally disgusted to find this in our dogs food and being unsure if he had eaten any. He was prescribed a dewormer. Now we have to switch brand as I will not be feeding him this brand ever again. The prescription cost me $73 as well as having to throw out the remaining food and purchase more. I was told by the vet to watch our dog over the next couple of days for any changes in him such as vomiting or diarrhea. I am so upset and disappointed with this and I truly believe that the dog food was infested from the factory. I do not have the original packaging as I keep the food in a air tight container and not in the bag.
