Purina Pet Foods Reviews

Bought Purina propane 35 pounds in June. Just opened to find flying bugs inside. Will not ever purchase again after using for many years. Totally unacceptable. Have tried to get refund as I purchased through Walmart and have had no satisfactory results. The dog food is very expensive and could have caused serious problems for my elderly dog. The food was stored inside in a dry safe place. I hope you can figure out and take care of the problem.

I have a Great Dane. About two weeks ago, I've purchased 24 cans of Purina One Beef & Barley dog food from Sam's. It didn't smell appetizing and my dog, surprisingly, only ate a little bit. The next day, I offered to her again, and again, she didn't eat much, even though she was hungry. For the next two days, my dog didn't eat anything at all. She was throwing up and having diarrhea. I didn't want to waste the remaining cans, so I've decided to give it to the raccoons, one can per day. Guess what? The raccoons didn't even touch it! It must have been spoiled. I will never purchase Purina One dog food again.

COMPLETELY DISGUSTED AND OUTRAGED – DO NOT BUY PURINA ONE. I just opened a bag of Purina One True Instinct with Real Turkey & Venison and what I found inside is absolutely revolting. There were dead bugs baked into the food, and even worse, I found a live insect crawling around inside the sealed bag. Yes, sealed. I have photos and video as proof. My dog already ate some before I realized. I’m furious, sick to my stomach, and honestly heartbroken that I unknowingly fed my dog contaminated food.

Less than 3 months on the Purina Pro Plan my dog developed congestive heart failure. Pure trash food. He had to put down last year on 4 April 2025. Bear had no prior heart health issues but he was placed on the Pro Plan.

At least the last three, and maybe the last four, of my purchases of Purina dry cat food have been UNDERWEIGHT. I buy various bulk products sold by weight, and it is ONLY with Purina that I've had this issue. I have complained to Purina in the past, and after my most recent purchase was also shorted, I contacted them again and got no response. This is certainly a deliberate, dishonest practice; if it was merely sloppiness, as many bags would be overweight as underweight. If you buy a Purina product, verify the weight (and beware net vs gross weight) before opening, and if shorted, complain to Purina, the retailer, the appropriate government agency, and right a review on this platform and anywhere else you can inform about this.

I have been feeding my dog the Salmon and Beef High-Protein food for 4 years now. Recently, they must have changed recipes, I assume to cheaper products, because my dog has broken out in hives, and his droppings are a crazy color. After just one day of a different food, everything is back to normal. Purina is poisoning your dog to protect their bottom line. I will never purchase another product from that company, and I advise everyone else to do the same.

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.”

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!!!
