    In the last year we have gone through countless bags of Purina pro plan weight management and adult beef formula for our dogs and most recently our cat food (hairball and shredded chicken). We have found live worms, live moths, cocoons, spider like stretchy gross webs and have reported all of this to just be sent coupons and told to store our food better. No accountability on their end. Our food store we have purchased from for 10+ years is spotless.

    If I could give this zero stars I would! My dog, a young g Doberman of a year and 11 months has been on Purina ever since she was a puppy. I’ve bought it faithfully due to a vet telling me if I want to put her on any purina food, then to go with Pro Plan since it’s the best. About a month ago my I bought both of my dogs another bag of the chicken formula. My German shepherd showed signs first. Vomiting her food in the second day of feeding her the food. I figured, since I had no issues with the food that it wasn’t the food, so I monitored her over the next few days and she was still throwing up.

    My Doberman had no affects at this time so that also made me think it wasn’t the food and that maybe my GSD got into something in the yard. Around the third day my Doberman started vomiting (viewer discretion picture below). Even worse than the GSD. So I thought maybe it’s the food. I took them both off of the food because along with the vomiting they both were losing A LOT of weight. And I mean…A LOT. I followed family and vet's advice and put them on chicken and rice supplements for the time being. This helped, my dogs weren’t vomiting anymore but both were not gaining any weight.

    Fast forward to last Thursday. I finally said enough of the expensive chicken lol and bought them new dry food. A bag of purina one. The first day both were fine. The second day both were fine as well. Until late in the night. I smelled poop in the house and went to go check it out. My Doberman was laid out in her cage in a position she never sleeps in. I tried to talk to her but got no response. She was weak. She wasn’t moving much. And she couldn’t walk. I felt her stomach and it felt like it was either full of air or fluid. I tried to see if she had to throw up. But she didn’t. I let her out to poop. And my baby doesn’t stay in the yard a lot. She hates it.

    I found her outside 2 minutes later laid out under the porch. I knew something was wrong. I rushed her to the vet immediately and she was throwing up the entire ride. We made it to the vet and my girl was even smaller than she was earlier in the day. About 15 minutes at the vet. I was informed her heart had stopped. She had some sort of organ failure. And she sadly passed away. To anyone out there. DO NOT BUY THIS FOOD! I don’t care if you’ve been using it forever. Get your dogs off this food. Do NOT end up like me. Please.

      Downloaded the app and signed up for a free bag of treats. Never received them and wondering why they even had the promotion if they weren’t going to follow through. I have read a lot of the reviews and due to you having terrible feedback I will not be purchasing your food for my cats or dog.

      I’m a healthcare expert, and I observed a concerning reaction in my cat after consuming Purina Cat Soup. There appeared to be a causal link between the ingestion of this food and symptoms including vomiting, tongue sores, difficulty breathing, and trouble swallowing. The resulting medical treatment was both costly and distressing for my cat.

      I submitted a claim to Sedgwick on behalf of Purina, detailing the incident and associated veterinary expenses. Unfortunately, the claim was denied, and no resolution or accountability was offered. If you care about the safety of your cat or dog’s meals, I strongly urge you to take extra precautions—always check labels, verify expiration dates, inspect the food for odd smells or textures, and consider trying a different brand altogether. I will not be repurchasing any Purina products.

      In 3 weeks, I had medical issues with 2 of my cats. Severe issues. 7 weeks ago, I changed to Friskies Shreds. This coincides with the food change. Both young indoor cats, bottled water, pampered. The vet informed me he ingested **! We don't have ** in the house, we haven't used it since Sept 1982. Both incidents occurred shortly after being fed Friskies, Salmon Shreds. I have 2 bills totaling 10 k! Not to mention the pain and suffering of my 2 cats! I am furious at this and this is the only common dominator, the food. I check the food, discard dented cans, cans with odors. We treat our cats as family members. Very upset.

      As others have said, been buying for 1 year the lamb and rice puppy chot. My dog turned 1 in July and the last 2 bags of the adult lamb and rice formula have been filled with Indian moth fly larvae and eggs. I didn’t even notice and blindly gave her a scoop and when I came back firm the store there were larve crawling on the floor Around the bag. I eventually opened it and the bag was filled with hundreds of larvae crawling around inside of it.

      We got Purina pro plan chicken and rice formula large breed dry puppy food a week to 2 weeks ago and we noticed 2 days ago multiple larvae moving around in it. We were so disgusted and we thought it was our mistake for not cleaning the container properly so we cleaned it and went to put the rest of the food jn the bag in the container and the bag was filled with these larvae and webs inside even-though it was seal packed by us and kept in a dry clean place. We are never getting purina again. We were really disgusted so threw away the container, the food and the purina bag all away instantly and forgot to take a picture but we did catch one of them in a container and I am attaching a picture of it. I am disgusted. No one should buy Purina ever, I do not think they have any safety standards for our angel babies.

      We had used Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice for our two German Shepherds for about two years and were happy with the product. The last two bags changed that opinion. We opened the first sealed bag and found white larvae baked into the meat chunks and hard-shelled bugs crawling through the food. We threw that bag away and bought a second bag, and had the same thing happen. This is absolutely disgusting and we have stopped buying all Purina products. We take pride in caring for our pets and expect that the food we feed them will be of the high-quality standard as it is advertised. What happened to Quality Control???

      My 3 year old Labradoodle has been on Purina Pro Plan since she was a puppy without interruption. Most recently she has shown excessive licking and scratching. Also bouts of vomiting which I thought might be because of her breed. I took her off the Purina Pro Plan for Sensitive stomachs and almost immediately these symptoms have disappeared. Has there been a change in the formula?? If so, consumers should be made aware. I am disappointed that I let this go for so long and never thought her problems was with this food.. I give two stars because until recently my dog did ok with this food.. Buyer Beware…
