    Our dog died unexpectedly about 10 days prior to the pet food recall. She was eating Purina One Weight Loss Formula. I have read of others experiencing the same thing. Purina One might also have problems.

    My dog suddenly died of kidney failure after eating Purina One Healthy Weight Management. It was a quick and sudden death and at the time there are many recalls from dog food causing kidney failure. Purina has not recalled this product. I have tried to contact Purina for 4 days and the phone number is busy.

    Our cat died because of the pet food problems. We had to put our cat down last Weds. before the news reported the problem with IAMS Pet food. We have the chart and the Vet. report showing the high toxicity level in the blood and urine. Our cat was the pet of my 2 year old son Tyler who is devastated. There is no question that the food in question was at fault, we have the receipt and UPC symbol showing that this was the product responsible.

    My 13 year old cat died within a week of changing her food. She ate Purina Cat Chow her entire life and I switched her to the Purina One Healthy Weight Formula. She threw up and stopped eating. I had to put her down. The food was purchased 1/07 in Phoenix, AZ.

    For the past several months I noticed that my cats' health was declining. They began to urinate frequently. One died several weeks ago. The common denominator is Purina Cat Chow and Purina Kitten Chow which I just recently stopped feeding them as I suspected it might be making them sick. This outrages me that a compnay can sell a product that harms our loved pets. How could this happen? My pets are sick and dying because of corporate greed.

    My cat died and others have become ill from eating Purina Pet Food.

    I purchased Purina's Friskies Special Diet for my cat last week. She was in perfect health and as usual, ran to her cat dish as soon as I poured it into her bowl. When I got home after work she was vomiting and could barely move. She died a couple hours later in my arms having a seizure. I had this cat nine years and loved her very much. I wish I hadn't gotten her this food. If this particular pet food can potentially kill an animal they should not have it readily available on the shelves at the grocery store.

    October 14, 2006 I purchased a bag of Purina
    Beneful (new salmon flavor) dry dog food

    at a local PetsMart.

    I normally don't buy this brand, but couldn't
    get to the premium dog food store in time

    that day to get his usual food.

    I noticed the inside of the bag seemed kind of
    webby, but thought maybe the inside plastic
    liner was deteriorating. I fed Sat.PM meal and
    Sunday AM meal to my dog. Before feeding
    Sunday PM meal, my instinct told me to look
    closer in the bag with a flashlight. I was
    horrified to see there were little white worms

    in the food, which I assume were maggots.

    The webby areas of the bag must have

    been real webs after all.

    I was grossed out and felt terrible that my
    dog had eaten 2 meals that may have

    I purchased a Bag of Purina One, Adult Healthy Weight Dog Food from the Pet Store. After 4 days of feeding my dog this food 2 times a day, I noticed that there was something mixed in with food. upon taking a closer look I could clearly see that there was dead flying ants (insects) mixed in with the food, and not just one or two, it looked like a colony, webs and ants. then I realized why after feeding the dog the food for the last few days, he had been reluctant to eat it.... This is something I am not very happy about, I do have the Nearly Full Bag, Ant Colony Included.

    Not sure of any consequences as of yet.. But I am pretty sure my dog was not too happy having to eat bugs for 4 days.

    I purchased the ususal brand of dog food from wal-mart (ol roy crunchy bones and bites) fed my dogs around 7pm and the next morning my AKC german shepard was DEAD! He ate 100% of his food. Our border collie ate 30% and he was and still is very ill. one sick alley cat who is now dead. I called the company and they pretty much denied that their product had any involvement. I was compinsated for the cost of the dog food, which i felt like was not enough and i have yet to cash the check.

    3 weeks ago i purchsed 2 bags of purina cat food Indoor Formula and inside each bag was a coupon for a dollar off on my next purchase of Indoor Formula Cat chow, the problem I have is that each coupon was out of date, the expiration date was for DEC.31,2003 AND i just bought the food in April, 2004..so this did upset me somewhat.

    I bought Deli-Cat for my cat to try. The food made her very sick. She vomited numerous times. I now have red stains on my carper. I have tried numerous products, but nothing will take it out. My carpet is ruined.

    I was told by the doctor at the cat hospital that Deli Cat has excess magnesium which forms crystals in cat's urine, which then build up and clog the urethra.

    I had been feeding deli cat to my cat for almost 5 years. He became very ill, would only lay on his stomach on the floor, would not eat or use the litter box. his abdomen became very swollen and he was howling in pain. He was at a cat hopital for 4 and a half days. He required surgery, and had to endure a catheter for 3 days of it. The hospital told me that he almost died. The total cost for all of the treatment was almost $700.
