    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

      I will NEVER buy Purina again. My dog loves the lamb flavor and I have bought it for him, since he was weaned. I purchased a bag last week, like I always do but my dog wouldn't touch it. It's his favorite! I got to looking at the individual pieces and there in pieces of hair in almost every single piece, in this bag. Someone on the production line thought it would be funny to add their facial hair apparently. I called Purina and they just laughed it off. Obviously Purina doesn't care about the quality of their product.

      The absolute worst brand of food you can feed your dog. I got the Pro Plan for puppies under the age of one and he has been throwing up and even got diarrhea. Taking them back to the store and returning them asap!

      I currently feed 2 inside kitties and a family of 4 ferals. They have all reliably and eagerly eaten Friskies Shreds and/or Fancy Feast Pates for YEARS. Also the FF Dry was eagerly "hoovered up!" I don't know when exactly but over the last months ALL of them, EVEN THE FERALS have started to refuse ALL OF IT. I am wasting so much money. Even tried giving the ferals the small FF cans.... Nope. They eagerly run up to the plates and take a sniff and walk away. I'm worried about them. Prior to this, especially the ferals, would lick plates clean! I've taken to poaching chicken breasts for inside kids, but I am elderly and can't keep this up. Apparently, Purina denies any issues (BIG SURPRISE). Can anyone shed any light on this for me? I could cry at the CASES of food that no one will touch that also represent a huge amount of money .

      Tired of corporations changing formulas, packaging and labels to screw consumers and increase profits. Purina Turkey & Giblets Pate now contains "fish". Why isn't that disclosed in the Title as "Turkey & Giblets & Fish" (not in tiny print in the ingredients). Why add fish to Turkey & Giblets to begin with? Many cats are allergic to fish. My 3 cats are turning their noses up at several cans in every case for the last year or so (apparently "fish" was added in January 2023)! I would like reimbursement for all the cans I throw away and have thrown away since January 2023. Purina is offering to refund 45 days worth of wasted cat food, $168.00. I just started taking pictures of untouched wasted cans and am sending them to the FDA to demand a recall. Just because Purina ignores complaints and the FDA and brags about never having recalls, does not make their product animal friendly!

      Hope everyone takes pictures of the rotten food, vomit and diarrhea and sends them to Purina AND the FDA. Why does Purina have OVER 1000 One Star Reviews on Consumer Affairs.com? Purina does NOT care about our pets to be ignoring this many complaints! I am weaning my cats off Purina products. The only way to get Purina's attention is to diminish their corporate profits! Purina - Take the "fish" out of non-fish products or put "Fish" in the label title. What type of fish - tuna, salmon, some kind of bottom feeder or rotten fish being used as fillers! If you truly cared about our pets like you falsely advertise, you would do everything you can to EXCEED the "standards" required in your products instead of doing the bare minimum just to cover your butt and increase profits!
