    On my day off I did some deep diving. I found so many other pet parents all over the USA with problems with their Purina Pro plan food. Many varieties. Black bugs, moths, larva and nests. I probably commented to about 20 other pet parents within the past 6 months of posting, some just weeks ago. Purina Private messages me with AI generated message. “We're terribly sorry to see this, Dan. Your experience is unusual, and certainly not typical of our products. We carefully produce and package our products to ensure they reach consumers in excellent condition. We'd like to learn more about your experience. Please send us a private message when you have a moment.”

    I then post this from the bottom of my heart, I already handled it. Refunds are on the way for the infested bags. To say it’s unusual and not typical is just not true. Hundreds of other dog owners are reporting the same situations. Do better. This is not ok. This is disgraceful disgusting and dangerous. I drove around to all these stores in my area and alerted them. Not ok. Not acceptable. They were not contacted by Purina to warn them. I did. These are very important members of our families. Your food is pushed by vets and told to be one of the best. It’s extremely expensive. And for what? Bad quality? Infested food? Not checked? Not monitored? Not held to the standard it’s priced at or marketed to.

    This dog food is making my dog so happy. He has never really cared for his food. He was on Pedigree. I thought that was a good dog food. Zeus had, Parvo when he was only a couple months old. He almost died, but anyways he has never kept his food down. So I put him on Pedigree and I just thought the Parvo did something to his stomach. So I kept him on the Pedigree. I thought about putting him on Purina, but I thought it was to expensive. I've had him on Lamb and Rice for about 3 days. So far he has not got sick. He absolutely loves this dog food. He's on the dry food. I'm really serious. I can't put out too much or he will eat every last bite. I keep waiting for him to get sick but so far so good. I will update this review in a couple weeks and let everyone know how he's doing. I think it's worth every dime now. Wish I would have changed dog food a long time ago.

      My dogs have been healthy for over 20 years, no health problems at all. Started them on this food a year ago and noticed changes in them after 3 months, just assumed it was age. I am now putting My second dog down due to cancer. I am confident that this is the reason.

      I started both my 13yr old and 6yr old both shih tzu puppy mill rescues on Purina pro plan on February 1, 2025 and my 13yr old got sick the next day and refused to eat for a week. On super bowl Sunday she had a seizure for the first time in her life! Last night, Friday February 14, 2025 she woke up having another seizure! Both those nights she ate canned purina pro plan!!! I have stopped feeding them the purina as of today and I am hoping she will have no more issues. Please stop feeding your pets this immediately! It can't be a coincidence the day I switched them to purina pro plan is the day she got sick and started having seizures!!!

      Warning to pet owners: maggots discovered in PurinaPro dog food. We transitioned our dogs from Science Diet to Purina approximately six months ago due to a decrease in appetite. Our household consists of three dogs, and we purchase two bags of food at a time. After feeding tonight, I happen to notice a couple grey specs, I reached in a grabbed what resembled little cocoons, upon further examination of the food, revealed maggots. Notwithstanding our proper food storage and conditions, our dogs ages range from 2 to 15 years, and I have never encountered this issue previously.

      We store the food in airtight plastic storage bins within our main living area. I am extremely disappointed and disgusted by this discovery. The affected bag of food was purchased at the end of December and cost $89 dollars, and our dogs consumed the contaminated food before we detected the issue. Research on Google reveals that Purina has a history of food quality issues. Don't buy this food.

      I've had my 3 cats on Purina One Tender Selects for at least 2 years now. I usually buy 7lb bags but they only had the largest bags available this time. I opened it and it was filled with webs and dead bugs. It was returned and they said that's normal for Purina. I had them open the new bag and that one was the same. They opened another bag and it appeared fine. My cats ate it for about a week and two of them starting getting really bad diarrhea. One of those two would also puke almost every time after eating.

      At 3am on New Year's day I found my smallest cat who didn't have any other symptoms from the food limp in the hallway struggling to breathe. She was taken to the emergency vet and they said it was anaphylactic shock with gi issues due to something she ingested. They didn't think she was going to make it and put her on oxygen and an iv. She passed a large blood clot. She pulled through after staying at the emergency vet for 2 nights. She hadn't eaten anything other than the Purina One Tender Selects and nothing showed up in her x-rays and tests. I switched them to Crave and the diarrhea and vomiting went away. I will never buy anything from Purina again.

      The Purina One dog food had beetles and meal worms in the bag! Notified Purina and they are refunding my $55. Although how do I know if this food has affected my dog? They had no answers for that question. Of course we discarded what was left of the bag once we discovered the insects.

      I bought the Purina One dry cat food for my three cats. After one day they started vomiting and having diarrhea. My dog snuck in and stole some of the food from the cat’s bowl and he vomited too. There must be something wrong with this food! I plan to have it tested from some friends who work in a lab as this is just not normal.

      We have 2 Bull Terriers and were feeding Food For Dogs and considered switching to Farmer's Dog. Our 8 year old developed DCM heart disease and both dogs developed a stage 3-4 heat murmur. Dog cardiac vets advised us that dogs have to have grain in their diet or it can lead to heat disease. The Cardiac Vet and our own vet (not affiliated) recommended Purina Pro Bright Mind 7+ (which I understand many vets have their dogs on). We switched immediately and both dogs are doing better. DCM cannot be cured but we're trying to keep them as long as well can. We mix the food with a little canned pumpkin so it's moist. Good luck and please know incorrect food can have devastating effects. Being such a large manufacturer, Purina gets the pick of ingredients in the marketplace. We thought boutique food was better (being more expensive) but just doesn't have the same research behind it.

      My kitten is 3 months old And I started to give her Purina pro plan kitten wet food, couple hours after eating it she started having diarrhea and that happened for several hours. Then she started screaming which is very scary when your little kitten is screaming and threw up a couple times. She had ate another brand of food as well so I wasn't sure What the cause was at first. So then for a few days she ate chicken and rice and a slowly started to incorporate her hard food back in which is not Purina and she was finally on the mend and her poop was hardening up. So day 6 I started to incorporate her wet food back in.

      I gave her Purina pro plan chicken and liver kitten wet food. She started having diarrhea again same day maybe two three hours at most after she ate that. Because she had a vaccine I thought maybe it was just the vaccine. So now 8 hours later after she ate some more of the Purina pro plan wet food, she's having diarrhea every hour or so and screaming and crying again and throwing up. It has to be the purina pro plan wet food because she was getting better until I gave that to her again
