Purina Pet Foods Reviews

I feed Gravy Lovers as a method to give my cats their daily **. It is the only reason they get it at all. Today I found a long white larva in the can. I tossed the whole can. Now I am concerned about the other cans in that case. I emailed Purina and sent them photos.

We had to take run our cat to the Gainesville Emergency animal clinic. She stopped eating, throwing up and was totally lethargic, we thought she was going to die. We spent over $1000 and ended up bringing her home with special food. Slowly she started getting better. We then got two more cats and bought expensive food for the kitten and better food for the stray. Later we switched to Friskies pate food for all of them. The cats got diarrhea and started throwing up. We thought they caught something and took them to the vet. Hundreds of dollars later, the cats were still throwing up and one had horrible diarrhea. Back to the vet. We somehow looked up friskies pate on the web and consumers affairs. To our horror, a LOT of people were having this problem and purina knows about it.

Since the new 'improved' recipe I have had to take my cat off AGaiL, Soups and dried food. It was giving all 3 of my cats diarrhea and sickness. As soon as I stopped they improved. So annoying as they only like gravy and few other options especially with the meat texture.

Though I have tried other brands of dog food, I always find myself going back to Purina brand. Every store carries this brand and the price and quality are comparable, if not better to other brands.

I've had cats turn their noses up at other name brands, but both of my cats and a few neighborhood visitors seem to love this stuff. I even put a large bowl for raccoons each night, and they come up on my deck (often up to four at a time!) and eat it clean. It's also very reasonably priced.

I have been using Purina dog food for my golden retriever since she was a puppy and I really enjoyed how much she loved the food. Once she turned 1 year’s old, I began giving her the adult Purina Pro Plan. Two months ago, she stopped eating her dog food, upon smelling the food we believed it was bad due to the foul smell. We had bought the largest bag at our local pet store and thought maybe they had not gotten rid of the expired bags. One month ago, we had a medium size bag of food. Again, after a week from purchase my dog stopped eating the food. We also began to find maggots around our apartment, with no clue how we could have gotten these insects into our living space.

Purina Pro Plan is an outstanding food. My dog loves it. But most of all, this brand has different stages as your dog. Start with puppy then adult, if your dog gets fat, weight management, sensitive stomach, and focus for senior dogs. All of my dogs have lived long, healthy lives.

The ONLY brand of food my dog will eat is Purina Bright Mind beef and brown rice. I've tried every other kind, even the super expensive ones, but he's very picky and walks away from every other food. So I'm very grateful to have found one thing that he likes. The only other canned food he'll eat is cat food!

My Babies have been on Pro Plan diet for 16 years, their vet is amazed by their appearance, health check A+, NEVER been sick. Beautiful, shiny coats, bright eyes and happy!

I have been feeding my two indoor cats Fancy Feast food for over a year now. They like the gravy kind. Well, recently BOTH of my cats got sick because of the food. They started vomiting and had severe diarrhea. I took them to the vet because I thought perhaps they had a virus and $700 later, I realized it was just the Fancy Feast food. How do I know? Well, at first I gave them special food for their digestive track, but as soon as I gave them 1/2 a can of Fancy Feast again, they both started throwing up and had terrible diarrhea again. I thought maybe they were not over the bug. A week later when they were perfectly fine, I gave them Fancy Feast again and voila...they got sick all over again. I now have two boxes of this food and vet bills. They should recall their latest food because it is definitely contaminated.

If I could rate them 0 stars, I would. I am absolutely disgusted with Purina. Purina is usually the brand of food I use to feed my dog, recently I made a purchase and found maggots inside of the dog food.

I fed my adult cat Fancy Feast for 5 years, but recently her stools became so extremely smelly that a vet trip was necessary. $500 later, I got her home, but the medication didn't work and the problem continued. In desperation I switched her to another brand of food and she has been fine and symptom-free for two weeks. Clearly this issue was a result of a bad batch of Fancy Feast, bought in southern CA in early 2021. Since I can no longer trust Fancy Feast, I'm in search of a better brand.

Purina Friskies needs to stop screwing customers out of pate' by adding 'gravy' for weight to lessen the amount of food! This has been going on since last year! Ripping us off. Times are hard enough these days! And Purina is making it worse by cheating us out of cat food! STOP!!!!

I have fed my dogs Beneful wet and dry for years. Anyone who can read can go to Purina website and read about the NATURAL ingredients used. The blood that many of these people talk about in their reviews may be the tomatoes that your dog is regurgitating. Furthermore, It seems like many of these reviews have stated that they are using this food for the first time. Did these people to a transition to the new food or did they just start giving the food to the pet without doing a transition which will cause the animal to have GI upset. GI upset symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea. Purina is an amazing company and their products are top of the line.

I decided to switch to Purina Pro Plan dog food from the Petsmart brand Authority dog food because I had heard good things about and my dog's breeder mentioned it. He became very sick, coughing, gagging, vomiting (we thought he had kennel cough). Soon he stopped eating entirely. I’m so glad I realized it was the Purina food poisoning him before something very serious happened. I switched him back immediately (not gradually) to Authority dog food and he was acting normally within a day or two.

After owning multiple cats over the last 40-plus years between myself and our family I definitely know how to take care of a cat. We decided to purchase recycled newspaper cat litter just for the benefit can't you see how well it would work. Absolutely disastrous experience. The clumps fell apart. It tracked absolutely everywhere, stuck in my cat's fur and was the biggest mess I've ever seen in the last 40 years. I emailed and expressed my concerns and how I felt about their ** product and what do I get back in the mail? A coupon for the exact same product that I told them I couldn't stand! What a joke. The first email I got was nothing but a bunch of random out of the book answers for my comments and questions and the second email was of about the same quality. I will never again purchase a Purina product, moving on!

Foods my animals used to like are now snubbed. If eaten at all, it is a tiny amount. I have tried rotating the products, but when you buy three and four different products and have them all snubbed, there is a problem. I am so tired of throwing food away.

I don't have time to write a false review and only writing a review because my dog has suffered harm. My lab has bad skin sensitivies. Our Veterinarian recommended Purina Pro Plan Focus Salmon. Our dog is allergic to beef, Chicken and dairy. After using this product for a few months we were amazed about how her skin was healing and her coat was looking so much better. Then when we went to purchase a bag we were told at the pet store, the bag has changed, no longer called focus.

My 3 cats have been eating Friskies canned cat food for many years. This week, they twice in one day refused to eat the pate placed in front of them. These cats never turn down food. Also, they vomit on a regular basis. Online reports have been posted of cats becoming ill on Lots 1157 and 1159. My food is Lot 1159. Stopped feeding this immediately but all 3 cats still acting lethargic and ill. If your cat is ill and eating Friskies, I recommend you discontinue the Friskies immediately.

Purina abruptly stopped manufacturing a version of their dry cat food without warning. Most people with an average IQ know that you cannot switch a domestic animal's food abruptly. All 3 of my cats are sick and will barely eat. My 14-year cat has been vomiting and refusing to eat. I spoke to Purina customer service and they do not have a care in the world. They are a disgusting excuse for a pet food company and do not care about the animals.

Our cat has been on Purina her whole life and she does very well. I have tried other brands of cat food but she did not do well and would end up getting sick to the point that she would throw up. With the Purina Indoor, she has never had a hairball or any other illness.

I originally bought my cat a more traditional Purina cat food. When this one came out it was a little more expensive. However it offered cat food specifically formulated for various cat issues. My car had a hairball issue, so I bought that specific Purina One type. To my delight she loved it. Over time it actually made a difference for her and she coughed up fewer hairballs.

I started my cat on this for health concerns and the fact that he is a special needs guy. He has been doing fantastic. It has improved his skin condition. I like the fact that it has soft and crunchy pieces in it. I am extremely happy.

My cats were throwing up everywhere and leaving the carpet stained. Now it is very seldom that happens. They seem to be more active and don't eat much. Really would recommend this food for overweight and persnickety eaters.

I have fed my dogs and cats many different brands of dry food over the years, but always come back to Purina. When you have barn cats, you don’t want to spend a lot of money on fancy food. My oldest cats died at the ages of 20 and 22, so that says something about the nutritional value of their food. Most of the time I buy large bags of Kit & Kaboodle because they like it the best.

Switching to this cat food made a huge difference in the health and appearance of our cats. They have much more energy, their coats are sleek and shiny, and are all healthier in general. The food is consistently good quality, and the difference it makes is quite noticeable.

I like Purina Naturals because there are no dyes, that stuff is bad for our pets and us too! It's also gentler on touchy tummies. My cat does much better with this food. I buy the same brand for my dog.

Because Beyond doesn't include taurine, I do have to supplement with another brand of cat food that contains this amino acid. Also, I have to give the cats plenty of exercise. They love the taste of Beyond and would overeat if I let them.

My kitten just turned 9mo and has been eating this brand with no problems. A new bag that we’ve gotten has her refusing to eat it and when she does it’s given her chronic diarrhea! I’ve switched it up and given her soft food and OTC medication to treat her diarrhea. It gets better and when we go back to this dry food the diarrhea begins all over again. My baby is greedy, so I figured she may be picking up droplets of food in the kitchen that isn’t agreeing with her. But, I’ve kept her in a confined space to treat and care for her diarrhea. The only element in her diet being this food! Thankfully, her personality is continuously playful and she’s staying hydrated but I will not be purchasing this again!!!

I had been feeding him Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice since I got him. I got a bag of the chicken large breed for him and my other dog. I noticed it gave my Boston terrier severe diarrhea so I thought well maybe it’s because it’s puppy food so stopped giving it to her. My doodle started having diarrhea and severe vomiting. He had to stay at the vet and have exploratory surgery but only found stomach irritation and hard stool in colon. They thought he ate something he shouldn’t have. I thought maybe he’s allergic to the chicken as I had read a lot of doodles are so I gave the bag of food to my mom. After two bowls her dog had bloody diarrhea. My dog continued to have stomach issues after this and died a couple months later and the Vet couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. He was a 7 month old health Goldendoodle. I would sue them if I could prove it was the dog food. I lost my baby boy.
