Pedigree Pet Foods Reviews

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dog has metal flakes in it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
