Purina Pet Foods Reviews

My cats Shadow and Sassy have been eating strictly Purina Cat Chow and Friskies Pate wet food which is also owned by Purina. My cat Shadow lived for 3 years without an issue until the past 3 days since I got him and my cat Sassy another bag of Purina Seafood Sensations and the Friskies pate wet food. Shadow has had all vaccinations and so have Sassy and Sassy is 2 years old. Shadow is 3 and they get them annually. Both are also neutered and spayed. But other than that I cannot afford anything else. They were both so healthy until the past three days, Shadow began throwing up undigested food and blood and foaming at the mouth. I can't begin to describe my pain of losing him because I reared him from 3 weeks of age on the bottle and he was a rescue. He had to be euthanized on December 27th and Sassy started showing the same symptoms last night and is fading fast.

We purchased a bag of Purina one smart blend dog food from our local Dollar General store, it was fully contaminated and infested with mold, maggots, and god knows what else. Its expiration date said May 2018. It’s currently December 2017... Horrible!!! I returned it after taking pictures. I couldn’t be upset with Dollar General. They couldn’t know it was like that, I blame the owners and manufacturers and have filed a formal complaint. We will never use again!

I recently changed to Purina One Purposeful Nutrition dry cat food and after several days I rushed my cat to the vet where I learned she had lost 75% of her kidney function ($300+ vet bill). She had just had a checkup with normal cbc. She is now on science diet food and striving. I am not sure if it was this food but there is no other explanation. It is quite odd how ill she became after eating this food and how well she became after discontinuing it. I do not and will not recommend this food.

We have 2 rescues that eat Purina Pro Bright Minds Grain free, 7+ yrs. They've been fed Purina Pro Plan for about 4 years and liked it (shredded chicken) and were switched to the 7+ this summer. They tolerate it and seem fine but it's ridiculously expensive 24#/$56. The vet recommended Purina over Blue Buffalo because of higher testing standards and I routinely check a website that reports on recalls and pet food ingredients. While PPP does not have perfect ingredients, I believe it is better than non-tested/poorly tested brands.

My dogs love the Purina pet food and it has healthy choices. I get different flavors each week and they like it when I mix it up. I have big and small dogs. The little ones has no problem eating it.

I have used Purina products for years and years with no ill effects. I can only speak about dog foods. Have had no major illness in any dog over many years and will continue to use this brand.

Affordable premium dog food. Worked in the animal health industry for 15 years and Purina knows animal nutrition. We currently use Purina One products for our dog and cat. They absolutely love it and remain very healthy with beautiful coats and high energy levels. We have tried them all... If they don't like or eat it, doesn't matter how great they claim it to be.

The dry dog food I use is Purina One Lamb and Rice and my dogs like it. I have been trying to figure out a better canned dog food than Alpo Rice and Lamb, because lamb is too far down on the list.

I just purchased a brand new, unopened bag of Purina Cat Chow "Complete" at PetSmart. When I opened the bag and scooped out some to put in my cat's food dish, I thought it smelled very pungent. But I didn't look inside. I was in a hurry. My cat ate all the food and seemed unaffected. The next day, I scooped out some more, but this time, I noticed something like webs on my hand and the scoop, and the pet food had tiny white maggots in it. I tossed it into the trash quickly, then washed my hands, then actually took a good look inside the bag and almost threw up myself!

When I was married my Siberian Huskies ate only Rice and Lamb Beneful. Back then they did not offer Blue Buffalo which I may have tried, or something more like natural foods on the market now. Purina Pet Foods is affordable for me on a fixed income but my choice would be better if I could afford it. I do give my dog the fruits and vegetables that he can enjoy as a snack.

I wish package was easier to identify... There should be a color code for age of dogs/breeds, for weight control, joint issues, etc. Also compare to other dog foods.

My dog has a very lean body, shiny coat and very happy all the time. I've tried different flavours when the usual flavour is not in stock. He likes them all!

I have fed Purina Pro Plan for many years. I believe my dogs get a well rounded meal and that is what they thrive on. They have energy, glossy coats and love the food. I do not feel withholding grains as some do is good for any dogs as in the wild they eat stomach contents of grass eaters as well as organ meats and bones. Dumbing down their food is what I feel causes so many health issues.

Purina was our original dog food and we were not happy. This last time we needed food I went to get it and found maggots on the bag. Needless to say I will never buy it again.

I have been feeding Pro Plan Focus Sport to my hunting dogs. Purina One to others and Pro Plan Focus puppy to my bred females and her puppies. I have been happy with the results for many years. Purina also supplies me with puppy folders to send home with my buyers. I also save all my weight circles and receive $7.00 off checks and this really helps. I just wish Purina was speedier in sending out the puppy packs and checks. They do not seem to be in a big hurry.

Three pets, Two dogs and a cat having issues with allergies. Dogs losing weight and difficulty walking from weakness. Sir Lewis Cat's bottom lip repeated swelling. After switching brand all three were back to normal within six to eight weeks.

My dog is not a fan of the regular dog food. The Puppy Chow is great but it is a little too spendy for me. I think I am going to try a different brand next time.

I buy the Purina Pro Plan grain-free for small breed and love it! I have a Westie w/ allergies. But many pet stores are always out of it or do not carry. It is hard to find in my area so I have to order it online from Amazon.

My dog likes it and healthy, nice coat, active. I think the price is good. The quality is great. Comes in many variations of flavor. Dry, wet, different sizes of bags.

You watch commercials that say this or that about dog food, but you need to watch your dog, they are the ones that eat it. I've always bought Purina, it's an old brand, but recently I switched from kibbles and bits, to Purina Naturals. My dogs LOVE it and we were surprised. We are on the second large bag, all 4 of our dogs gobble it down. That says something.

I have fed Purina Pro Plan for 20 years. I use to feed the chicken and rice formula and then they changed it to a shredded blend formula. When they changed the formula it gave my dogs diarrhea. I went to the Giant Breed Formula with no shredded meat and they do awesome on that formula.

I buy this dog food for the reason is my dogs really like it a lot. The puppy chow is the one I always buy, tender and crunchy is the best. It is a little more expensive than the rest of dog food, but it's the grade that matters.

My dog Scrappy-Doo loves Purina. I had received a sample in the mail and my dog went crazy over it. Believe it or not, my kitties love it too and won't stay out of his bowl!

10 yrs ago I had a Rottweiler and he kept getting bad ear infections. Vet wanted to do expensive and painful ear surgery. We called our old retired vet and he told us not to do surgery because it was a food allergy. We had been feeding him Beneful that had dyes in it. Vet told us to feed him Purina Sensitive Systems which we did. His ear problem cleared up in 2 weeks. We kept him on this brand the rest of his life and he never had another ear infection!!

Purina pioneered canine and feline research and they're one the companies to do that. And that means a great deal to me. They check for ingredient digestibility and they test their brands against the competition.

I have bought different kinds of dog food but I mostly buy Purina. My dogs eat it better and you can usually find coupons on it lots of times. I also buy the dog treats. They really like these.

The salmon based Purina One for sensitive systems has worked very well with our pack of different breeds. It supplies good nutrition, and makes it easy to manage the dogs' weights. We have good stools, good coats, and healthy dogs.

I have tried many different dog foods and Purina One seems to be the only kind of food that my dogs can tolerate. They have been consuming it for several years now and seems to be the only one that does not leave them with digestive upsets.

Started feeding my cats Purina One grain-free cat food. Within a few days, all 4 of my cats started vomiting. At first, I thought it was just hairballs. That was until they started vomiting blood. Upon taking them to the vet, I was told their cat food had caused them to get sick & gave them ulcers in their stomach. I am so angry! How can this be sold? Absolutely ridiculous. I will never feed Purina to another animal.

This dog food is a little more expensive than what I usually like to spend. But it seems to be easier on our dogs intestinal tract, so they are not as gassy which is a true pay-off.

My dog loves Purina. It has peas and chicken and other veggies. I have tried other high dollar brands but then she eats grass and has an upset tummy and I don't like to see her like that. My son also buys this high dollar stuff and his don't eat it. It is to let it go to waste.

Purina is a great dog food for the price. My dog has been on Purina all her life. She is going to be 3 years old. It was recommended by a friend of mine because it has never been recalled.

I have used the Purina One Superblend Lamb & Rice for my 9 year American Bull daily since he was an adult. He eagerly takes his daily portion without delay. I have been pleased with its consistency & quality.

The dogs prefer the food over other brands. I use Purina Pro Plan with Chicken. It's a bit pricey for me, but other brands with equally valued ingredients cost much more.

My dog loves the chicken and rice version, many times he focuses on the chicken bits first and then comes back to eat the kibble bits later. I've never had a problem with Purina upsetting his sensitive stomach either.

I tried many different dry dog foods and the majority of them have wheat byproducts and scraps from who knows what. My dog would vomiting about 15 minutes after eating. The only dog food she can eat without Vomiting is Purina.

It's a good brand, a higher quality than the basic brands. Probably better feed out there but when feeding two large dogs, economics weighs heavily. Some brands have better ingredients but you have to pay a hefty price.

I use wet and dry food. My older dog is missing most of his teeth, I feed him wet food and I use Alpo. My other baby boy gets only dry food and I use Purina Pro Plan.

My cat loved the taste of this cat food. But by the time we realized he was sick it was too late for him. His body broke down a week before Thanksgiving. He begin to urinate blood. Stopped eating and drinking water. He just died. I believe this food contributed to this factor as this is the only food we fed him.

My dog has been eating Purina One Healthy Weight formula for several years now. He has a very shiny coat and has maintained a healthy weight. Just wish there were more coupons available for this product.

My dogs have always done well with this food. It is reasonably priced, easy to find & my vet approves. As long as my dog is healthy & my vet continues to approve I will keep using Purina.

The Purina pet food has great vitamins included. For all life stages and sizes of dogs. Kibble is the right size and larger packages available. She always seems excited to eat when I use this brand. You can find grain free with simple and not over processed ingredients.

I have added additional natural foods to my dog's diet and added Purina One which seemed to have more nutritional ingredients. I believe that a dog owner should add natural foods cooked should be added to their food. I would rather add them myself and not be convinced on ingredients in dog food.

Several years ago I bought some dog food, based on ads, and it was not from USA. She got cancer. I now only buy what is made in USA or product of, no other wording. PURINA is an old company from IOWA, home to a lot of my family.

I use Purina Healthy Weight Management and my dog loves it. I've used with several of my dogs when they get a little older. I also occasionally use Purina with limited ingredients... no wheat, soy, fillers. She also likes that. Once in a while I will mix 1/2 can of the smallest Beneful wet food to 3/4 cup dry food and make a gravy.

Purina Bella is the only food she will eat. I've tried several brands, with different formulas, some with much better ingredients, but she won't eat them.

Purina has been around for a very long time. Some brands may have some better ingredients but most people just cannot afford it. I still feel Purina is just fine for the value.

I purchased this food to try and switch to a lower cost option food for both my 1 year old pit bulls. Over the course of two days, I mixed the old food with this product to reduce normal GI upset when switching brands. Within 24 hours one of my dogs began vomiting all his food up. I thought maybe it would just take time to “adjust” to the new food since my other dog had no signs of trouble. The next morning I found my dog dead in his cage. My second dog began vomiting that same morning. I stopped the food, of course, and then had to take him to the vet also. My two young healthy dogs were fine prior to starting this cheap food and should’ve kept them on their normal brand. Poison in a bag. I would’ve given this zero stars if I were able. Awful product. Do not purchase this!!!

My dog really loves this kind of food. I give the Purina Pro Plan and he is always anxious to have it when it gets feeding time. It helps his energy and his coat.

I feed my 3 dogs both wet and dry foods 2x a day. The Purina was good but they seemed to get bored with the same food daily. I look for food with meat as first ingredient and shy away from excessive fillers. Love to feed food with vitamins and probiotics when possible.

I thought the Purina pet food was fine until I read the first ingredient. Wasn't meat. Will switch to Blue Buffalo next time. It's all about the marketing BS!

My dogs would eat other foods for a bag or two and then stop eating them but with Purina Pro they keep wanting more and don't start whining. They love the shredded chicken.

I would like to file a complaint. I bought a bag of Purina Cat Chow a few weeks ago from Walmart in Brockville, Ontario. I have found clumps of food. The smells was also very off and my cat has been getting sick. We have discarded the rest.

I feed my 8 rescue dogs Purina One and Purina's Senior Vitality. They absolutely love the taste, especially the meaty bits. Real meat is in the top 3 ingredients. My dogs are healthier than ever since switching to this 5 years ago. Excellent value for the money!

Purina has been available for years, easy to find in stores, price is right and dog loves it. Not sure if it is the best available regarding ingredients, however.

My dogs have been eating this brand of dog food. They seem to do well with it. Have purchased this brand for years and the price is what I can afford. Tried other brands and they don't care for it.

Our pitbull dogs seem to enjoy Purina dog food. I have tried other brands, but they have refused to eat the cheaper brands. We have fed them Purina dog food for about three years now.

Dogs eat it with no issues and they seem to be energetic and healthy. We have tried other brands, but we are satisfied with our vet's recommendation of Purina.

I only buy Purina Beyond for my dogs because there is no grain or artificial ingredients. My dogs are very fussy eaters and I have gone through different brands until I found Beyond. I use both canned and dry.

I continue to purchase Purina One for two small dogs. I usually get chicken, lamb or beef. It has smaller nuggets and shredded like pieces. I also tried the Purina Vitality for better brain enhancement for older dogs and Purina Pro Plan again with the shredded pieces. I've tried other brands but this is what they eat plus an occasional can of wet dog food. One dog is 12 and blind and my new adoptee is 6 who refuses to try dry dog food or canned. She wants treats and people food only. Whoever had her first spoiled her badly. I continue to get Purina products with money-saving coupons cause being retired, pets are a luxury when on a fixed income. I purchase same products for my two cats as well.

I bought your product for my dogs and well my cats too. (The cats love dog food. They weird that way. And I love them). After one damned day of all my babies eating this shot I came home and found every last one of them vomiting all over my house. Now I have two cats that have blood in their puke and won't eat or drink. Me and my kids are decorated. I can't sits to take them to a vet and these are not just animals to me. They are babies. So someone better call me because I will be calling you. I am a very pissed customer. Our pets have rights. The right to eat a healthy food that isn't going to kill them.

I have a puppy and she loves Purina Puppy Chow. I am not sure about the ingredients but she is healthy and full of energy.

Sometimes the type is difficult to find in stores and I have to order online. Also it caused soft or loose stool therefore finally switched out brand and having better results.

I have owned several dogs inside and outside and still have several a lot of them I rescued as babies. All of my dogs have been raised on Purina. They are healthy and seem to like the taste. I have never heard of a recall from Purina. The company is local and the owners and people that work there owns dogs and they seem to love them very much. I trust Purina one hundred percent with what they put into their dog food. I will continue to buy Purina dog food and treats. Thank-You Purina.

We blend the shredded dry with can meat and gravy. Both Pro Plan. Our dog has a tender stomach. The shredded food helps digestion. Recommended by our Veterinarian who happens to be our daughter too.

Competitive price and appears to be nutritious. I usually purchase it unless a coupon makes another brand more economical. Ok - so it is a name brand that attracts me and usually most bags are not in stock at Kroger but that's a Kroger problem.

I have used Purina with four different dogs over a period of nearly 20 years. They eat it with relish, and they have all been healthy and energetic. The nutritional value seems fine, and my veterinarian always recommends it whenever I get a new dog.

Purina Pro Plan dry and moist help build the dog's structure and beautifies his coat. He is in excellent condition and his body structure is amazing. He does not look his age, 8 years.

My dogs love this brand (Purina). Of their favorite things; chicken or lamb or beef with antioxidants and vegetables to help with their daily activities and both for older dogs and still growing puppies. They prefer dry, mixed with a little can food, but will eat it, anyway it is served!

I feed Purina One Puppy to our Blue Heeler and Australian Shepherd. Both are extremely active and under a year old. Our vet recommended this brand and we have been very happy with it. The price is high and I wish it was a bit better but I always say you get what you pay for. Overall we are very happy with this choice and will be staying with the Purina brand!

Purina is an ok dog food. I primarily buy it because it is local and no ingredients from China. I tried Blue Buffalo but my dogs didn't seem to like it. I add chicken for protein.

Prefer to feed a dog food with meat products as primary ingredient. Food is easy to locate but does not met the criteria for what I would want to feed my dogs. Quality of ingredients determine value for me so this is a poor value.

I like the Purina brand dog food. More importantly so does Our little boy. He seems to like the taste. We use a healthy weight formula and it seems to keep him healthy. We have used other brands and he seems to gain weight. I think Purina is a good value for the price.

Purina is the only dog food my dog eats. He actually hates Blue. He loves Purina Pro Plan with the Chihuahua on it but it's hard to find the Chihuahua one. I hope it becomes more accessible.

I usually buy Bella or Caesar wet dog food for my Yorkies... today I was feeding them a Bella wet dog tray & inside was some small white dots clumped together... upon investigation I found the meat it was on is HARD... I am glad I seen this BEFORE my babies ate it!!

I recently tried Purina cat litter. I think it was the non clumping kind. It was by far the ABSOLUTE WORST product I have ever used. It turned the bottom of the cat box into the grossest, hardest to remove garbage that I have ever encountered. Cleaning the cat box is already the worst chore of the week. This product makes it exponentially WORSE. I had to use a garden claw tool to scrape the goop out of the cat box. It was so thick, it broke the gardening claw. Then I got out the pressure washer. It took me 20 minutes with a pressure washer to get the remnants of the cat litter out of the box. This ** is unlike anything you've ever seen. A cross between cement and God knows what. And GROSS! I will NEVER use this product again. I'll go back to FELINE PINE. That stuff swells up like nobody's business, but at least you can clean it out of the cat box at the end of the week without a total GROSS OUT!

We have been purchasing Purina Naturals cat food for 3 years and never had a problem. Friday Nov 10 2017 I emptied the bottom of the bag into the cat food canister. The 3 cats and 1 dog who likes to sneak midnight snacks became SO sick the next day. I have never seen my dog so sick. She looks and acts as if she has been poisoned. I will never buy Purina again.

Last year we had a moth infestation, didn't think much of it, it happens. It was in our bag of Friskies Indoor Dry Cat Food (Garden Greens, specifically). We thought the moths came from outside and infected the food, so I bought an airtight container and kept the dry food in there after getting rid of the infected dry food and buying a fresh bag. Had no problems until last month, same moths started showing up. It drove my husband and I crazy trying to figure out where these moths were coming from. We kept checking the cat food, nope, so I poured the unopened new bag into the container.

So we just bought a bag of Purina Alpo Prime Cuts. Poured the bag of dog food in a sealed container, and some in the dog's dish. I was cooking dinner, and noticed my dog puking. I then look at her food, and noticed white worms. I then checked the bag that I threw out in the garbage and noticed webbing and more worms. I dropped the bag & puked... Yuck... I’m so disgusted right now. I need to take my dog to the vet, I hope she going to be ok. She’s laying down right now... And doesn’t even want to get up to have a treat. I can tell she’s really sick... And I’m scared.

Kittens were fine until they were adopted out and the owner fed them canned Friskies. They had bloody diarrhea after eating it. The vet check found no parasites. Changed their canned food to Nulo medallion series and diarrhea stopped immediately.

In the spring of 2017, we bought a large bag of Purina Little Bites. After using part of the bag, we found what appeared to be cobwebs in the bag. Not long after that, we began finding maggots in the bag, so I sealed it as tightly as I could, to protect the contents from contamination, assuming Purina would want it back to find the source of the problem. I then notified Purina on their website, and bought a new bag of the same product. I assumed that it was a one-time event, based on over 50 years of being a Purina customer.

I never loved Purina but thought their higher end brand would be okay... WRONG. If you are feeding your dog Purina ONE Bright Mind, you may want to take a look in the bag. I thought I would try it for my picky Doberman who decided she didn't like her food anymore. First bag I bought I returned thinking it just went bad seeing as the due date was getting close... It looked it like it was full of weird spider webs. I took it back and got a new bag. Two days later I went to take and scoop out and see a little web again... and then a nasty... alive and moving. Two completely different due dates, second bag was not until sometime in 2018. Bought at PetSmart Whitby who were completely apologetic and refunded me. They said they were taking all bags off the shelf.

I noticed my 5-month-old mastiff/pit was not eating her food. These were 2 bags of brand new food (Purina Pro Plan Lamb and Rice and pro puppy food) purchased at Petsmart. Sealed in plastic containers. While scoping out her food I noticed white maggots sticking to the scoop. Upon further detection the entire tub had these white maggots as well as grain beetles and moths. Disgusting! I will not be feeding my growing puppy this. I'm also hoping these bugs did not hurt her intestines, which we are having checked today. Very disappointed Purina!??

I purchased some Kit and Kaboodle dry cat food for my home in-door cats, and they became sick soon after. They were unable to keep food down and were throwing up bright red food. I quickly switched to a different kind. I will say that while this was a Purina Brand, once I switched to Purina Indoor in the blue bag the issue stopped. Recently I went on vacation and in my absence, the office purchased Kit & Kaboodle for the office cat. When I returned the cat was sick, throwing up - just like my home cats. She has been lethargic for the last three days, and just recently started eating again. I would avoid this food if you can. Three kits - in two different homes, at two different times, both got sick after eating this food.

On several occasions, I have received poor quality cat food, large chunks that cats can choke on and dark color nuggets that the cats don't like. When I contacted Purina, they sent me coupons that DON'T WORK. When I contacted them again, I was told to "try another store." DON'T BUY PURINA!!

So yeah, white maggots and moths in food I just purchased a week ago from local store (2 bags) in northwest Ohio and 1 from chewy.com I have yet to check. Figured since I stocked up this would happen. Time to find another brand after reading about Purina on here. Thank you!

My dog refused many times to eat this food but I never thought THIS food could be the reason as PURINA is the reputable brand until luckily my kid discovered brown worms in the food. I had purchased it online (WALMART) in last month and discovered worms today i.e. September 22' 2017. I don't know how long they have been there, and I am worried that my dog have eaten some of them, and I have no way of knowing how many because they were almost invisible in his food (as same color) and I could have overlooked them for a while. I am not sure if this type of worm the kind that can damage dog's intestines? Is the interceptor enough, or should we take our dog to the vet to eradicate any worms he may have eaten? I am just concerned... Now when I started thinking of why my dog vomit often plus why he lost appetite. LESSON LEARNT. People DO NOT BUY Purina ONE SmartBlend Lamb & Rice Formula.

I've been buying Purina Indoor Cat Food for my fur baby for quite a while, and haven't had any complaints about it until now. I found small moths and moth larva in the cat food container. I cleaned the container with hot water and bleach. I bought a large sealed plastic bowl for the cat food and bought a new bag thinking that maybe it was just a fluke. WRONG! I found moth larva in the cat's dish today, and have had these little moths flying around the house.

I was horrified to see there were tiny worms in my cat food bowls today. I've never really inspected the bowls but today it was empty and they were obvious in the dark bowl. Normally they still have a little food left and I just top them off. I inspected the bag and sure enough there were thousands in the giant bag I JUST purchased. I'm now having to take two cats to the vet to make sure they are ok. So mad right now!!

I can't believe I found bugs and larvae on one of Purina Dog Food bag. What is most shocking is found several people with the same problem! I will never buy this food again, and I hope Purina recalls its food. Bugs found inside a bag of Purina Pro Plan Focus Sensitive Skin & Stomach Adult Dog Food - Salmon & Rice.

I purchased a bag of Purina One Cat Food, a bag of Beneful dog food and a bag of Meow Mix cat food. All from different stores a few months apart. Each bag had moths and larvae inside. We didn't notice it at first and our youngest cat began throwing up and became lethargic. We inspected the Purina 1 bag and threw it out after finding moths. That day we opened the Beneful dog food for the first time and the Meow Mix and both were filled with larvae and moths. We will never buy Purina brands again!

Several months ago I joined the Cat Perks program as I am a loyal Purina customer and thought it would be great to get some "free" stuff for my cats. I have seven cats that are all rescues. Seven cats can be a financial burden - vet bills, feeding, etc. So I thought the Cat Perks would let me put the points to work. However, it seems that Purina wants my loyalty, but they give little back in return. They allow a maximum of 6500 points per month. A 13lb bag of the Purina Naturals is worth 3000 points and the 18lb bag is worth 3500 points. I usually buy 2 or 3 18lb bags per month. Each month I have points that I am unable to use. They have rewards such as iPads, Dyson vacuums, etc. that require 1,000,000 points, but it would take about 13 years to accumulate that many points. Really not worth the effort!

Wagon Train Chicken Jerky Treats: 12 Aug 2017 bought these treats for my Beagle, on 14 Aug he was very sick, throwing up, diarrhea, lethargic, heavy breathing. Took to vet on Monday, 14 Aug 2017. No blood work. No X-rays. Misdiagnosed with arthritis in hips. Given Carprofen injection in hip. Over the next few days our dogs' appetite diminished. We were told it was from the Carprofen. By Saturday, he was not eating. By Sunday, 20 Aug 2017, he had stopped urinating. Foul odor from breath. Vets office opened at 7:00 am on the 21st. We were there at 6:45 am. Vet examined him and said not to be surprised if he didn't have a liver mass, that he needed to admit him and give him an IV, a catheter, blood work, and chest X-ray. I told the vet that I'd wait, and he told me no, that he'd call me.

Well, when I first noticed in my dog food what appeared to be paper, I thought maybe it was just a small processing error and didn't think much of it. As we get further thru the dog food bag, it became more prominent and then I started noticing small moths and moth larvae (or worms... whatever it is). Now I'm thinking the paper I found in the bag was larvae webbing or what have you, and now have been killing tiny moths all over my house. This product and company name seems to be tainted.

I purchased my dog a new dog food Purina One Smartblend a few days ago. Once I opened I didn't notice any bugs but when I went to transfer his food into his airtight container I saw small black bugs in the food. At first I thought no big deal. But the next day I used the scoop to move the food around and saw a numerous amount of the same black bugs. Looking further I saw white larvae on some of the pieces. I am very disappointed in this and after reading all the bad reviews with Purina products I will be promptly returning this bad $30.00 bag to the store and continue searching for a new (bug free) dog food. I hope Purina figures out a better way to stock and store their products soon. I’m sadden by this because for the 2 days we had it my dog loved it.

Purina One is some of the best dog food I've seen. The first ingredient is chicken or beef which is very impressive. And my furry friends love that dog food more than people food.

Found maggots in the food in three occasions. First time was towards the bottom of the bag. I gave the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe something had crawled inside the bag. I'm very clean but I live in an island (lots of bugs). Second time, I noticed the maggots when the bag was half way done. Rushed to the pet supermarket where I got it from, and decided to switch to a better brand (Nutro). In order to avoid my dog getting sick, I decided to buy just a 5 lb bag of the same Purina pro plan salmon blend and wean her off the right way by mixing it with the new food. Well, guess what I found once again on the second day?!? You guessed it... MAGGOTS!!! DO NOT FEED THIS ** To YOUR DOG!!! I initially got it because my dog has very sensitive skin ever since we rescue her. This never alleviated her skin issues anyways. This product should be called back, and taken off the shelves!!!

I like this dog food. It's been around for a very long time and that says a lot about it. One really good thing about Purina dog food is a twenty pound bag costs ten to twelve dollars but the biggest brands like Blue Buffalo, Science Diet, and others cost fifty dollars and I can't afford that.

I have two small older dogs. They have dental issues and I find the Purina mini bite dry food I purchase works the best. I can leave it out and not be concerned about their not being able to chew.

I feed my dogs Purina Natural no grain. It's expensive but my dogs do very well with it. I can only find it at PetSmart and go out of my way to get it. Would love for it to be available in more places.

I wasn't educated enough about potentially dangerous ingredients in commercial cat foods until now. The scary realization dawned onto me just a few days ago. I was so devastated with many recent losses. I just couldn't understand why all my cats were so unlucky health-wise to die at such a relatively young age? My mother-in-law had a cat who lived till 21 y.o. and other people I knew had cats for 17+ years. Why was I cursed to have such a short time with my cats whom I love unconditionally?

Our two cats have been acting sickly and sounding funny when they meow. We decided to bring a bowl of food upstairs to see if one of the cats would eat. After taking a bite, he got sick. Luckily the kids were paying close attention and discovered small worms in the food. This was a new bag of Purina Complete Cat Food, which was just opened recently. I was horrified to discover reviews from July 28 talking about the same issue. Do not buy this for your cats.

I believe that Purina is a reputable brand. We have purchased both Purina Dog and Cat Chow down for many years now and for many pets that we've owned.

We use Purina Pro Plan Grain Free at recommendation of vet. This is a good dry dog food that helps with allergies and provides quality ingredients. I think it is a good value.

My dog really loves this brand of dog food, I have tried feeding her other dog foods but she's a finicky eater so it's not easy trying to please her. I believe she really likes this brand for its taste and for the fact it gives her energy.

For the simple fact that I ended up with cancer myself and wasn't able to really do anything to be able to get other food besides what local stores carried, I 100% against my better judgment went with Friskies wet food and now have found mold growing off the wet food in hours. I currently have a can sealed open and a can free to the air recording the process. I'm so mad at myself especially after I lost a cat already to Purina indoor cat mix, I could spew fire right now. My cat is hacking and sneezing and I can almost guarantee it's because she's been eating mold.

I bought 2 different bags of Purina One Smart Blend Lamb & Rice. There were small minute bugs crawling from the food in each bag and my Golden Retriever wouldn't eat it. But my Beagle Blue Tic Hound did and he was older and he got so sick from it diarrhea, eating grass to settle his stomach. His stomach was extended and so painful I couldn't touch it and we had to put him to sleep. But we didn't know it was from this food until a day after when I saw bugs in another new small bag.

I changed my cat food to Purina Naturals Indoor formula about one year ago. I noticed two of my cats were not as playful as they once were. One WAS 7 and the other ONLY 5 years old. On June 1, 2017 I lost one of the two and JUST yesterday July 22, 2017 due to RENAL FAILURE!!! I couldn't even get my first cat to the vet. He was gone in three days. The second one WAS at the vet for 4 days. The vet let me take him home but his kidneys AND bladder were damaged and he passed away the next morning... so this is a WARNING to EVERYONE. DO NOT BUY PURINA INDOOR NATURALS CAT FOOD!!!

My niece's cat has kidney problems and has been acting strange. I read ingredients on bag of cat food and was horrified. The first ingredient is corn and corn gluten followed by chicken by-products. Also included is yellow dye 5 and 6 blue dye 2 and red dye 40 and the list goes on... Remember this is the seafood sensations... Ocean fish meal comes in as the seventh ingredient. REALLY???... Nowhere is there real ingredients. I called Purina and they answered stating they were pet lovers. They are not or they would not put these awful ingredients in their pet food. I immediately dumped remaining food out and went to the store and bought cat food with first ingredient of fish, no dyes. I am shocked and angry that a company still sells this toxic food.

I have purchased several bags of Purina Shreds dog food from Petco. All have contained moth larvae. At first I thought it was just a one time thing but after purchasing at least 5 bags of the same dog food they all have had the infestation of moth larvae. Has anyone else had this issue?

I have a gray male tabby with a sensitive stomach. I tried ScienceDiet, Iams, a few other "better" brands before settling on Purina One Gentle Digestive Formula (dry), supplemented with Purina One chicken or turkey pate (wet). This is food he can keep down, unlike many others. So the cat gets the last vote. If this were my vote, I would never go near Purina. First, they're owned by Nestle, one of the most evil companies in the world. Over the decades they've starved African children with their infant formula promotion in lesser developed countries and continued to pump water for bottling out of California during a massive drought.

I switched my six year old cat to Purina indoor cat formula about four months ago. He developed crystals in his bladder, which caused him to not be able to urinate. He died of kidney failure. Since then, several other people I know said they lost their cats the same way. Why does Purina continue to market a product that they know is dangerous to pets? Don't they care?

I used to buy Purina One occasionally for our 6 year old cat. He loved it but we noticed he was very very hyperactive after it. It was funny but we noticed it was a bit artificial when it happened every time he ate it. The sad thing is last Saturday he was excited as usual and my partner was rubbing him in the back in the garden and he was all happy in the sun. He turned for a moment and when he turned back the cat just stayed lying down. He actually just died there and then. No marks or anything he just stopped breathing. Needless to say we are still devastated and broken hearted. I am just wondering is there any connection to the hyperactivity. The vet said it was heart failure. It was so sudden we are still in shock. The there Taurine in that food and Taurine is dangerous.

Happened twice in 2 months! Noticed white spots on pieces of Purina one chicken and rice dog food. Then appeared little black bugs throughout the bag. Brought back to store. Just opened another bag 3 days ago - white spots again on pieces - now worms, maggots - throughout the bag! Disgusting. Store replaced and Purina had sent me coupons for previous bag. Will switch brands - never Purina again.

My dog was fine up to two days ago. I gave her a thong of Bella wet food as a treat. Immediately after eating it she started dry heaving, had bad gas and then came the uncontrollable diarrhea. She looks so sad. She 24 hours later she is not eating, drinking and cannot walk. She still has diarrhea and now vomiting. When I looked the food I fed her it had a little weird coloring but nothing alarming. Now I wish I went with my first instinct. I am trying to give her puppy milk a teaspoon at a time. She is a year and a half. But the milk has what she needs. Honestly, I would be surprised if she lives. I will never again buy and Purina product. She eats Nature's Recipe grain free puppy food the pumpkin and chicken. She loved this food and will not eat it as well since the wet food treat. I highly advise to stay clear of the Bella dog foods.

We use Purina lamb and rice for our 6 yr old lab mix. When I fed him this morning it was the end of the bag. As I was pouring it into his bowl I noticed moldy pieces of dog food. So moldy it was green and white. I did not feed it to him.

I too have seen vomiting from my ragdoll cat with the Temptations treats. I thought maybe it was hairball or sensitivity related. Upon reading reviews of others having similar experience I'm wondering if another recall is due? I recently purchased a bag of Purina One for my cats thinking it would be a better diet than the Purina Indoor they have been eating. Even though I mixed the two they suddenly won't eat either (?). Also noticed my dogs are refusing the Purina One Smartblend. Not to mention the amount of sick dogs seen at my local vet's office the last 2 weeks that have eaten Purina Milkbones, Carry Out, and Maro Bones. Can we say "Recall"?

So totally forgot to post this bit for all my friends that have puppy children. This is a fair warning to stay away from Purina products. I have 2 Chiweenies and a Pit Bull. My Pit has a very sensitive stomach and my Chiweenies sometimes get rashes depending on what they eat. So I went to Petco to see what they would recommend for them. We were recommended for Purina Pro Plan dog food.

I purchased a giant bag of the Purina Beneful Healthy Puppy food and had heard such negative things about the food. So instead of wasting the money, I just slowly started weaning her off and starting her on Hill's Science Diet. Last night when pouring her food I noticed a metal object protruding from the kibble. Upon further inspection I cannot decipher what it is, but I can closely relate it to a heavy duty staple. I did contact the company, they are sending me prepaid postage to send them the metal object and "investigate" and are sending me COUPONS FOR MY NEXT PURCHASE.

Pouring out the dry cat food for my cat, I noticed mouldy (fuzzy/ furry) bits inside the bag coming out WITH the dried food. I don't know what they are but it is definitely not okay for my cat to eat or anyone's animal to eat. Best before date on bag says JUL 1017.

Purina is HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Idk why they don't take Purina out of business or whatever! It's horrible. Why don't they do anything about it, why doesn't someone sue them? Don't they see people are having horrible experiences with this dog food. Killing many dogs and making dogs sick? Dogs lives matter too. My sisters dog her face was swollen and she was very sick. Luckily when we changed her dog food she got so much better. Good thing we didn't feed her any longer than a couple of days. Sheesh what don't they get? This doesn't even deserve not even one star.

Over the past couple of weeks my two cats have been sick on and off, resulting in two separate trips to the vet which is very expensive. Unsure of the cause of the sudden vomiting spells, I did not think that the food I have been feeding them consistently for two years could be the issue. This morning, however, while pouring the bottom batch of the bag into food bowl, a clump of food landed at the top. After worrying about what the clump really was, I was able to talk my boyfriend into dissecting it further for me. We still do not know what it is exactly but are totally grossed out by what we have found and angry to think about my cats suffering from simply eating their cat food. I plan on having it tested and discussing more with vet.

My Whippet got very sick a month ago and required vetting. After blood, urine and fecal lab test were performed, they couldn't find the reason she was so sick. So, I was weary of what could have caused her illness. I started spooning out the can dog food into a sterile jar to keep fresh after opening to store in the fridge. Today 4/3/17 I opened a new can and found plastic the size of a dime in the Whole Earth can dog food, same food I'd been feeding her when she got so ill. I called Merrick to report my finding the plastic. They apologized and wanted me to pay to return the evidence to them to look into the issue sounding unconcerned about the problem. I think this is what caused my dog to get so sick before. I took pictures and have saved the plastic. I will be talking to my vet to get counsel on how to proceed with this as it could be happening to many other pets as well.

Two months after I got my rescue dog I changed his food to Purina One Lamb and Rice Formula. He loves the taste. BUT he has had 3 seizures with vomiting in the last year that I have had him. I am beginning to think it may be the food since the vet can find no other explanation. To be fair I am his 4th owner and do not have his complete history but my gut instinct is to look at his food source. I am curious to see if any other dog owners have experienced this or any similar neurological issues with this food?

My Daughter today just had to put their family dog down. According to the Vet it was due to the dog food it was eating that gave the dog a Kidney stone as big as a baseball! To due surgery was out of their price range and he would not guarantee that it would not return within a week or a month or a year but this dog could not process your dog food. They thought they was buying good, healthy diet food for their pet. They had no Idea that it was so harmful. So needless to say their second grade daughter had no warning she was coming home to hear that her dog had to be put down at only having it for only 5yrs most of her young life and that also was the age of the dog it was gone. Something needs to be done with the food you are giving these animals with no warning on what damages they can cause and how tragic it can be on the family!!! Will definitely warn other people who have pets to be aware of Purina products.

Fed my 3 month old lab this for a month. Everything was fine in the beginning but after about 3 weeks she began have very loose stool. So loose that it was like puddy. We are switching to Wellness Complete Health puppy food to see if that helps her out. DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG THIS BRAND.

I buy 22 lbs. bags of Cat Chow Indoor food because I have several cats. In 4 months bought 3 bags and started up with Purina - MyPerkscatchow reward system. Well on the 22 lbs. bags I can never read the laser print codes that I can on the smaller bags. I've complained and was told to call a number. I did and was sent a survey via email. That was a couple of weeks ago and nothing since. Let's just say I gave them a very poor response in return. They won't give me the points I'm owed off the one UPC bag I had at the time let alone I've bought 3 in 4 months' time.

I'm very disappointed in the Purina Puppy Chow Tender & Crunchy. It made both of our bulldogs sick for 5 days. The bottom of the food in the bag made them sick. They weren't sick until we got to the bottom of the dog food. Need to find a great food for my American Bulldogs.

Worms, need I say more? The worms are actually inside the chunks of dog food. If you break them open, the worms come slithering out and nearly made me vomit. They claim it's coming from the warehouse and there is nothing they can do about it. Hmmm... you have worms in your warehouse and are not going to do anything about it? How did they get inside the food chunks? Yeah, no more for me.

As a caretaker of feral and stray cats I use this product almost everyday. Recently bought a 22lb bag from Tractor Supply and was mortified to find something looking like damp cloth buried in it together with maggots. I photographed it to show you but I threw the bag in the trash. I will not use this food again until I hear back from you and would certainly like a refund of the $13 I paid for it at Tractor Supply.

I had been looking for a cat food that didn't make my cat vomit shortly after eating. I spied the gentle formula on the shelf and decided to try it. It is very good. He doesn't vomit as often and not as much. I like the food for my cat very much.

I have a six year old cat and I have always given her Purina from the time she has been a kitten. I have always trusted Purina and went from kitten food to adult cat food. I like to give her the hairball treatment food.

I have 4 dogs using this product (Pro Plan Salmon and rice dry dog food). Upon opening the bag and filling their dishes I noticed small black bugs in the food. I took a closer look and found that not only were there black bugs but also tiny larva worms of some type. I had ordered this food through Petsmart online. I will not buy Purina products again. Since reading the reviews I now realize this is an ongoing problem that Purina does not seem to be correcting.

My cat just finished his bag of Purina one indoor cat, which is my usual choice but I bought the regular version because of a coupon and he has had diarrhea for 5 days, I'm so stressed, it's so nasty because he's a long hair cat so you can imagine how many baths he's had to have. I suspect it's the food now that I see all these recent complaints. Going to email them.

My cat has never had skin problems and my cat and dog eat Purina food. My dog would sometimes eat Mousey's food. Scabs were on both. Dog I have made sure has not eaten Purina indoor cat food and skin problems stopped. Mousey's haven't. Has there been any changes in ingredients in last 6 months? I gave him taste of the Wild and he has not scratched today hardly any. Used this product ten yrs. I'm taking him to the vet again and he is 11 and worried giving ** to him. ** isn't working either. I haven't changed detergents, anything. I'm gonna really upset if I find out if it's different ingredients and my baby boy has suffered for months. I'm taking samples of the scabs stuck on skin and hair tomorrow and the lady that opened the bag of Purina hairball food and moths... yes infested with moths!!! I'm highly disgusted. I've paid so much money in Purina, I should have blue chip stocks. I want answers.

I had a kennel and I raised show Terriers. I have fed Purina Pro Plan for twenty years. Healthy dogs - good coats and teeth. I have a small rescue now that was in terrible shape when I got her. I feed her Pro Plan Focus for small dogs. She looks great and is in good health. Many people that show and compete their dogs feed Pro Plan.

Last night I opened a brand new bag of Purina One Hairball Control cat food and it was completely infested with moths. It was absolutely disgusting. I recently bought this bag at Petco in Plantation, Florida. I spent $15 on this bag and had to throw the whole thing away. I'm reading other people's cats have gotten sick from moth infested food - this makes me feel sick! I didn't return the bag to Petco because I didn't want to risk moths getting loose and infesting my car. I'm hoping I killed all the ones that escaped from the bag because I do not want our home infested as well. I've read these moths are hard to get rid of. I've written Purina Customer Service and email, but have not heard back yet. I just wanted to encourage everyone to check their food as soon as they open it and say something if something is wrong!

We used all the stages of their puppy food, then dog food when my baby got to be an adult dog. Their ingredients are good and Fudgie loves the food. In his later years, we have him on the diet control–weight control and he loves it and he lost weight from their food. I recommend their food to anyone who has an older baby (dog) and whose vet told them to put their dog on a diet like ours did. Your dog will lose weight. He will also love the taste, like my dog!

I buy Purina SmartBlend for both my labs. They like the lamb and rice formula the best. You can buy it most anywhere. They are 10 years old and are fairly active. They have tried several other Purina blends but this is a healthy balance for them. They like the smaller bite of food. It is well balanced with protein and vitamins needed for larger dogs. I have not had any weight problems while feeding them this brand.

I have small, medium and large dogs. Purina small bites fits the bill for all of them. I don't have to buy 3 different kinds of food. All my dogs like the taste. No one has any digestive problems with it and all have a clean bill of health. I mix this with canned Purina Alpo food and all tags are wagging. The prices are a bonus, too. I would recommend these products to anyone looking for good quality food for their furry family members at a very fair price.

Purina One Smartblend. Used the puppy choice until my dog turned 2. My dog seemed to like it. Now I've switched to the non-puppy choices. Tried 3 different flavors and she doesn't eat them unless I mix in canned food.

I use Purina One for my dogs because not only do I want the best for my dogs but I believe it's the best that is available in the grocery stores. It has the best ingredients for your dogs. Fresh chicken, lamb, salmon, bison are some of the meats that are available to you as well as fresh vegetables. My dogs love it and it is good for them too. You don't have to worry about what your pets are eating when you give them Purina One. You can rest assured they have had the best!

Purchased a large bag of the puppy pro plan dog food from PetSmart and after about a week discovered that it was infested with bugs. Food was stored indoors in an airtight container from time of purchase, so bugs were in there when we bought it. I decided to post in the Purina Facebook page with a photo and then realized that there were many other people posting about the same Issue. Purina has yet to take action and is blaming it on their warehouses.

A few days ago I bought this product from the Family Dollar store. I went back to urge them to pull it from inventory. It made all my cats ill; actually it poisoned them. They went into vomiting spells and have been listless & without appetite since eating it. I bought a high quality Iams kibble for them the next day & they vomited that up. One of my cats acts like she's dying. I mailed Purina right away & have heard nothing from them. I'm weighing a suit. Be advised my country cats do not have fragile constitutions or weak stomachs: they eat venison, pizza & perch-fresh caught from the river. Deli-Cat is dangerous & should be recalled.

I have twice entered the proper codes on the purina pet perks website and both times have failed. Earlier this month (12, 2016) I made a phone call to resolve the issue. What a pain in the butt! Today, 12/28/2016 I tried to enter another code and received the message INVALID CODE, so I called them again and was told the pet perks department was closed until Jan, 3rd. So I will not be able to receive the maximum of 6000 points this month. There is no way I am going to call them every month in an attempt to get my points. Which by the way it will take 10 months of entering codes to get 1 free bag of cat food. It's not worth the effort. I perceive the pet perks program is throwing so many obstacles in the way so as not to make good on the promises of their program. I would encourage you to find another brand of pet food as I am going to do in order to show Purina that they suck.

Purina One Smart Blend Dog Food - My 3 medium size dogs were switched to the Chicken & Rice Formula 3 months ago from a more expensive brand that I had been buying. They seemed to adjust okay until this last bag which I've been purchasing at Walmart. The bag appears to be lighter in weight and noticed large sponge like morsels. My dogs are now refusing it to eat it, I figured maybe they were just not hungry enough so I'd save it for the next go around. Then I noticed that my dogs are not acting as spunky, shaky and having diarrhea. When I called the number listed on the bag and ask if they changed something in the ingredients they denied any change and said that the food is 100% nutritious if they ate it all. After reading all the negative reviews I am definitely getting them off this food.

I purchased a brand new bag of Purina indoor Cat Chow. My cats are strictly indoor pets. Upon feeding my cats the Purina, my old 7 year old cat got diarrhea later in the day and my youngest 1 year old cat began vomiting. After vomiting he became lethargic and tried eating again later in the day, and threw up again. It was then I realized it was the food, Purina made my cats sick. I had to take him in for care and hand force feed him kitty milk with a dropper until he began to eat again. I'm banning All Purina brands. I'm lucky my little cat pulled through his ordeal.

I have had three dogs over the last 10 years on Purina Pro Plan. In all cases, the dogs have enjoyed their food and had healthy lives. Two were eventually put down due to age-related issues. However, the variety seems to have diminished and the availability, at least at PetSmart and Petco. My remaining dog eats canned wet food in the morning and dry in the evening and I had one occasion where I had to use another brand, which he turned his nose up at.

My Maggie was recently diagnosed with Kidney problems and her food was changed to Purina pro plan vet formula. She is doing great with the new food and I'd thriving. The ingredients are geared to her Kidney function and performance. It is a quality dog food and she loves the taste!

Nestlé Purina PetCare Company. The food used to be good. I have only fed my 2 year old Rottweiler Purina proplan sensitive skin and stomach since new born cause that's what the breeder fed and recommended. Never gave him treats or other food because he has always had a sensitive stomach and ANY other food except his main food would give him diarrhea. These last few months my dog slowly started having problems with, horrible gas, bloated, ear aches, shaking of head, hair dry and falling out, sporadic diarrhea, lethargicness, and stiffness. We've been to the vets many times in these last few months. He has been put on many different medications. When I inquired with Purina, their response was, yes the recipe had changed in June but only slightly and should not have had any effect on my dog. Then they offered to send me some coupons for more of their products.
