Pedigree Pet Foods Reviews

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.

Needing to cut a corners we started buying Pedigree for our Labs ages 8 and 9. They started vomiting and had bloody stool right away. Our 9 year old Lab had to be put to sleep. We bought another brand of dog food and our 8 year old has been fine ever since. Will never buy Pedigree again!

I lost 2 dogs over a couple years both from cancer tumors in the neck area, removing them and coming back. Thinking it odd that they were both passed of thing in same area I started thinking what did they both have through their life that could of caused tumors. The only thing was water and pedigree. Talking to my sis she said same thing. She lost her two dogs to the same type of cancer.. both raising our dogs on pedigree.. Reading up on this there has been many complaints and no recall.

I bought Pedigree food for my Labradors from Sam's Club, starting 4 months ago. This week they have both had vomiting & diarrhea.

I have been feeding my Shih Tzu Pedigree Jumbones. He collapsed on the floor, I ran him to the emergency vet and had to have him put to sleep. When I looked at the ingredients weeks later, I noticed ingredient propylene glycol and did some research on it. I found out it was toxic and the symptoms before he died and his behavior for years before made me realize that it was this propylene glycol that killed him. He had liver failure.

We had a new Golden Retriever puppy and at the beginning of July I bought a new bag of Pedigree Puppy food. One morning I woke up to find our puppy very lethargic and vomiting. Before this, she was very active and healthy. I took her to the vet and on the way she had several seizures. Her blood glucose was very low. A parvo test was run as well as fecal tests and they came back negative. The doctor said it was either a liver shunt or a toxin. We had to have her transferred to a larger hospital that could do more testing. All together five veterinarians examined her and I was told that it was not a liver shunt, that it was a toxin and that the level was so high that it would not even register on the machine and my veterinarian told me that in 25 years she had not seen a level that high. Unfortunately, she passed away. We were very protective of our puppy. She only went in the yard to go potty and was always supervised and while in the house she was in a pen. Since our puppy died, we have went over the yard and have found nothing that could have harmed her. My veterinarian thinks it was the food.

I purchased a 15.9lb bag of pedigree dog food from Rural King store in Spring Hill Fl. The bar code was 2310029161 and the expiration date was 03 21 15. I stored it in its original packaging in a large container and used it for 3 days. I then noticed worms and bugs in the container. Upon examining the food in its original packaging I found worms and small bugs. I have since thrown out the remainder of the dog food.

For over 10 years, I have been feeding my dogs Pedigree dry and once a week a can. I have used the chicken brand for the past 5 years due to stomach issues with beef. I had just purchased a new LARGE bag of dry at Walmart and was pleasantly surprised it was only $19.96. Now... we have a HUGE problem. First my 10-year-old Golden became ill. I came home to an absolute mess. This dog has not had an accident since she was a pup and there was bloody diarrhea in the grandest amount. I was mortified. Also, she had vomited yellow foam everywhere. I took her outdoors only to find her straining and then pure blood from her rectum.

I bought nine 22-oz Pedigree canned dog food on July 22nd, 2014 at Walmart. My mother bought me the 13-oz 12-pack of Pedigree dog food on August 5th, 2014. I had been feeding my Basset Hound named "Princess" the 22-oz cans until the 5th of August. I had already fed "Princess" 6 cans of the 22-oz cans. The first can of this food she ate just fine. The next can she ate just fine as well as the third can. Then she began experiencing flu-like symptoms. Her stool became black and sticky and tar like. She then became hesitant about eating the canned food when it came to the 4th can of Pedigree 22-oz dog food. Her condition worsened and she only would eat half of the 5th can. So I supplemented her with a different flavor in a 13-oz can from the 12-pack of Pedigree canned dog food. Her symptoms became worse, and she refused to eat the food.

For years me and my family have used Pedigree for any dog we have had. I noticed just this last week that the bag of dry food me and my husband had gotten for our huskys was getting moldy white and black on what food was left in the bottom of the bag. Yes our dogs are very active and have an average structure to them but since we got this bag around may or June, our youngest (2years old) has been getting skinnier than normal. I'm not sure what Pedigree has done to their dog food (wet or dry) but it's not making me want to buy another bag because I don't want my dogs end up sick or worse from a manufacture mess up.

My poodle ate some of your Jumbone treats that contain Propylene Glycol and as a result was very sick. Vomiting and bloody diarrhea for several days. How can you produce a consumable product, that contains Propylene Glycol better known as anti-freeze, and sell it to unsuspecting pet owners? Shame on you!!

I just read another post from a user about Pedigree canned dog food from Walmart. I too fed all three of my dogs the Pedigree canned dog food and the very next day, they were all vomiting and had severe diarrhea for 5 days straight and wouldn't eat. I do not understand why this is still on the shelves?

I recently purchased pedigree dog food from Walmart for my Chihuahua whose name is cha chi. The formula was for joint health. Shortly after eating the canned dog food, he became very ill and started to have seizures. Cha Chi experienced one seizure after another. It was absolutely horrific to see this beautiful little baby suffer. He was foaming at the mouth, flopping all over the floor, long strands of mucus and foam were coming out of his mouth. He had 15 seizures one after another. He never had a seizure before eating the pedigree dog food. I was shocked to learn after going online that many people were reporting their pets having seizures after eating this dog food. Why isn't there a recall on this garbage. From what I understand, many little lives have been snuffed out.. Yes, I am very hurt and angry.. I thought these people cared about the health of our little pets who are more like family members. What can be done about this?

Never feed my dog Pedigree until last week and I have lost 8 dogs in 7 days.

My 2 little dogs ate some from the can. I am concern about their health because they have been acting lethargic and without appetite whatsoever. I do not have the money to take them to the vet so they can be tested. Called Co and they were only concern about how to ship the can over to them. They never asked the status of my dogs until I asked them "What about my dogs?" I would like to take them to vet but I do not have the money to do it. You do not even have to send "me" the money. You can send it to the vet office in my city, but they said they do not work like that. If I want to take my dogs to the vet, it’s up to me but there is NOT guaranty I will get a reimburse for visit nor any test.

I have been feeding my lab/pitbull mix canned Pedigree for many years, but in the last month and a half she has had on and off diarrhea (On when she ate canned Pedigree and off when she ate chicken and rice), and I'm convinced it's the food. When it first happened I figured she just had an upset stomach, skipped one of her meals and then started feeding her chicken and rice for a few days. Her stool firmed up after eating the chicken and rice, so I slowly started feeding her the canned Pedigree....then after 3 or 4 days the diarrhea returns. I took her to the vet and had her blood, urine, and stool tested, everything came back normal. I have repeated this cycle 5 times now. It is definitely the food. I will never buy this garbage again!!

I recently purchased canned pedigree select cuts for my dog Sonnie. After half a can and four hours later he is sick!!! Vomiting all night and thru day today. Liquid diarrhea, and shaking and trembling. I called my vet and they said to give some boiled chicken and rice. Pedigree.... recall your food. I called the store Costco where I purchased and they are investigating.

Our beloved pet has been eating Pedigree Small Dog targeted nutrition for 6-8 months. The past two weeks she has have diarrhea, vomiting and gagging. Lost at least 5-6 pounds. She is a mix Beagle and Cocker Spaniel. She weigh 23 pounds when we got her. We almost lost this past week. We had to take her to three different vets before we found the right one. We will change her food. Will not buy nothing by Pedigree and associate companies.

My dog woke me up around 11PM. He had been eating his Pedigree canned dog food. He started vomiting up foamy stuff, panting, gulping and whining and drinking copious amounts of water and looking for things to eat to make him throw up. They tested him at the ER that night and did x-rays to rule out obstruction. They could find nothing wrong with him. He came home and sat and drooled the whole day the next day. I gave him a spoonful of the Pedigree which he kept down. Then another spoonful at dinner. He was still drooling and lethargic. The next day he looked almost normal. I fed him this evening the normal amount for dinner and within a half an hour he was having the same symptoms. I am thinking this is the food. He has been eating this food for 1 and a half years and been fine. So this is surprising.

Gave our Aussie a Pedigree Dentastix and within an hour he threw it up. This was two days ago. Since eating the Dentastix, he hasn't been able to hold his food down. I am hoping chicken breast and white rice without seasoning will help. Seems I'm not the only one that has experienced this problem.

We have been using Pedigree for many years. We have a 9-year-old Boxer. Her name is Misty. We call her Mimi for short. She is the perfect dog and the best family dog you could ask for. We have always used the regular Adult dog food Complete Nutrition dry and I went to Meijer last week and they did not have any at all. The only kind they had was Adult Complete Nutrition (Chicken Flavor) dry. This has make our dog very sick. She has had diarrhea with blood in her stool and throwing up. It started Sunday morning. She is still having diarrhea but she is drinking water. I am hoping this don't kill our dog. She is very much loved and we have taken such great care of her. I would hate to see something bad happen to a great family member.

This just happened this past week and my beloved Ollie died on 6/30. Unfortunately, I have been unemployed and cannot afford a veterinarian. Ollie became very ill on Wed., 6/25, and vomited frothy phlegm all over the place. I also saw where he had vomited dog food. I was told to make certain that he had plenty of water because he probably had an irritated stomach. He drank on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday morning, I found him in the basement, lethargic. Brought him upstairs and helped him drink some water. He started sleeping a great deal which I figured was due to the fact that all the vomiting made him exhausted. This is a dog that is never ill and has eaten Pedigree for a long time.

I ran out of our dog food and my boyfriend bought a couple of Pedigree canned foods. My three year old Maltese is having diarrhea and I find light colored blood on her stool. Pedigree was the only food I gave her for past two days and her diarrhea won't stop. Since I found similar other reviews online, I will throw the leftover canned food. I won't buy again.

Been feeding my dog Pedigree little bites for the past several years with no issues. About the first week of June I went and purchased more food because I had ran out. Roughly about a week later, my dog started with loose stools and then diarrhea started along with some blood. Did the usual rice to bind a little then reintroduce the food little by little shortly after the symptoms started all over again. I thought maybe a little bug or something, kept a close eye on him, started feeding him rice again, and as soon as I introduced the food to him again, the symptoms start all over again. This went on for almost a month.

I have a Standard Poodle named Bentley and a small mixed breed named Biscuit. I fed them Pedigree twice a day for the past 2 years. About 3 months ago both of my dogs starting vomiting on a daily basis, sometimes throughout the day (I noticed that Biscuit was reluctant to eat her food and sometimes would just walk away). I know that 3 months sounds like a long time to allow such behavior to go on, but I also had started giving them pills to help their urine not kill my grass. I honestly thought it was the pills that were causing the sickness. I stopped the pills, but the vomiting continued and they began to have diarrhea. I stopped feeding them Pedigree two weeks ago and put them on rice for a week to calm their tummies. This helped almost immediately. I then decided to purchase Blue Buffalo Lamb and Brown Rice for them. They love it! And thankfully are no longer sick.

In May of 2011 my then 2-year-old yellow lab had his first of many seizures. At first they were every couple of months and progressed to a point of one seizure every week to 10 days. About six months after the onset of seizures the vet placed him on potassium bromide; however, the seizure frequency did not improve much. Ozzy still had seizures about twice a month. In 2014, in mid April, I read an article via Facebook about dog treats from China killing over 1000 dogs here in the USA. It was at this point I decided to try Ozzy on a different food as seizure activity was mentioned in the article. I went to Tractor Supply and purchased a 15 lb bag of Source natural dog food to see if he liked it. He did and still does.

I opened a new bag of dry Pedigree dog food, and found it LOADED with small brown worms and live, crawling black bugs. Purchased at Walmart in Hooksett, NH. Threw the whole bag away. We're sticking with Beneficial, as this was not the 1st time we found this in Pedigree.

I was watching my friend's dogs while she was on vacation. She purchased Pedigree Large Dog, and Pedigree Active Dog, plus Pedigree canned food. Her big Dane, 10 mos. old started w/ vomiting and diarrhea. When I told her, she said he was vomiting and diarrhea before she left on vacation. We thought it was the canned food. I stopped the canned food. I switched them to my dog's food, and they resolved somewhat.

I have been feeding both my dogs (1 medium size breed, 1 smaller size breed) Pedigree Longevity for a couple weeks. I decided to try Pedigree thinking it was a better quality food and many foods I have fed my dogs seem to make them urinate more, which increases the chances of accidents in the house. After about a week, the medium size dog seemed to have constipation at first and then the small size dog got diarrhea. I changed to regular chicken flavored Pedigree thinking it was the "Longevity" recipe that was the problem.

Upon reading the saddest heartbreaking posts from Pet Owners across the United States, and having my two dogs, and four Puppies poisoned by the contaminated Pedigree Food I fed to them, I can only say I am blessed to still have my Babies. My dear friend I grew up with was not as fortunate as both his beloved Dogs were poisoned and his 10 year old best friend died in his arms this morning while on way to Vet. His other Dog is fighting for her life. I'm filing a Class Action Suit against this Manufacturer and making them accountable for their negligence. And to hold them responsible for the Pain and Suffering and Mental Anguish bestowed upon Pet Owners and the inhumane suffering Our Pets have had to endure. Anyone with me?

My 12 yr old min pin has been on Pedigree all his life. Last month, I bought a large bag of small dog formula at Walmart. He started having black stools and I'd find small amounts of blood in his bedding. I thought maybe he was just old and having problems with his teeth. I bought various flavors of the canned Pedigree at Walmart. He's vomiting bright red blood and still having black stools. He's very lethargic and having difficulty standing and walking. He was doing well before the recent purchase of pedigree small dogs dry food. After reading all the reviews, I'm sure it's the food. Same type/brand of food and same symptoms, same time frame. I believe the recent batch(es) Pedigree produced were contaminated. I'm going to switch brands and hopefully my dog will get better.

I have been feeding my dog Pedigree Adult Dry dog food and wet food for many years. About three months ago he began having diarrhea about 35 to 40% of the time and lately has been drinking a lot of water. I took him to the vet a week ago and after $280 of testing of his blood, urine, and a stool sample, they found nothing wrong with him. He's continued to have the problem this week and in desperation I Googled this brand + diarrhea and found your website with so many other dog owners' complaints. I think we all need to follow through and report this to the ASPCA and any US Government-appropriate agency. I will immediately now go buy different food for my dog based on reading all these reports. Apparently something toxic is in this brand of food now.

My dogs have been sick lately, throwing up and my oldest has these seizures. I always used Pedigree dry. I had recently changed to another brand of weight maintenance food and when my local retailer was temporarily out, I switched back to Pedigree dry. Then the dogs started throwing up and having loose stools. Also my oldest started the seizures again. Then this morning when I was feeding, I found a sheared off 1/2 steel nail with a head on it in the food. I am so mad I want to sue. A nail? Can't they be more cruel as to have sharp nails in their food? I would check all your dry Pedigree for nails could be what's causing the bloody stools with no known illnesses.

Okay so I have two blue nose pitbulls one being four years old and the other being nine months, my boyfriend and I went and bought them a big bag of pedigree dog food !! BIG MISTAKE, at first my girl dog (4years old) would not eat it for about three days, we thought it was because we moved and she was home sick, and my boy dog will eat ANYTHING AND after a few days he was starting to turn it down which was really rare. Not even a week after them using it, they're both losing so much fur and bald spots all over their bodies, random lumps in their skin. Scabs everywhere!!! What the hell do they put in these foods, because I read the comments and seems like they only deserve one star!!! Trust me don't EVEERRR buy this food! Pay the extra 20$ or so, it'll be worth it knowing your dog's happy & healthy and won't have to pay tons on vet bills! Very unsatisfied.

Feed my dog pedigree for the first time, wet canned beef flavor chunks with gravy, made by pedigree, because I ran out of my normal canned blue buffalo brand so I was out of town and just grabbed a dog food I had used in the past for my dogs we had growing up, and there were never any issues. That night my dogs stool turned runny. Both my two dogs started to poop all over my hotel room and their stool just kept getting softer and runnier eventually. I was laying in bed with my dog and he had explosive diarrhea all over me and my bed. He's never done that plus he had already pooped like 6 times before, he couldn't control his bowels. When I got home he became worse and I had to take him to the vet and they couldn't find any cause except change in diet. 500$ later! What is up with this food?

I usually feed my dog Science Diet but I decided to buy a can of Pedigree wet food. It was a BIG mistake! I gave my puppy a half can of the food and ate it all. The problem is that a few hours after he ate the food, he's real lethargic and has tremors. My pup now has vomited which I'm glad because there must be something wrong with the food. But I am very worried. I hope my baby is going to be ok. I've read some of these reviews and my pup is experiencing the same thing. Pedigree needs to put a recall on their dog food.

June 6, 2014, I purchased a 44 lb bag of Pedigree Complete Nutrition Chicken formula dry dog food. I have the same problem too. My dogs will smell the food and walk away from it. The next morning, their bowls are more than half full. Dogs won't consume the food like they normally would. I am concluding that there is something in this Complete Nutrition chicken formula that my dogs know shouldn't be there. This happened about three times on the previously purchased bag (same brand and formula), but I just thought that the dogs were full and didn't want to eat all their food. Everybody should pay attention to their dog's signals about this. I am switching to a different brand tomorrow.
