Purina Pet Foods Reviews

Regular store didn't have HAIRBALL MANAGEMENT formula so I bought the INDOOR formula. Mixed it with the HAIRBALL food I had left to transition them. One cat started throwing up almost immediately. Switched back to the unmixed HAIRBALL food I had left and took the other bag of INDOOR back to the store. They traded it for a smaller bag of HAIRBALL and credit. Week or so passed and gave my 3 cats the new package of HAIRBALL today and within an hour, 2 of them had thrown up. There is definitely something wrong with the food in the new packaging. NOWHERE on the bag is the phone # for Purina, so I had to go online to find it. Not very difficult. Gave the young man the numbers from the bag and he said they would send me a check to cover the cost.

About a week ago, we bought our 1-year-old Lab Purina Pro Plan Sport. Today I noticed moths around the kitchen. I didn't think much of it since we live in Florida and bugs inside are pretty common. I keep the food in a clear Tupperware and when I went to pour some out, I noticed moths inside. I automatically freaked out and asked my husband to check the big 40-pound bag we keep in the cabinet. As he opened the cabinet door, about 6 moths flew out and when he opened the bag, it was INFESTED with moths!! I couldn't believe that we had to throw away a $50 bag of food. I am just thankful that my dog hasn't showed any symptoms of being sick. We will most definitely be taking her for a check up this weekend!

I've used this product for the last 20 years. Both with an Irish Wolfhound/Rottweiler mix, and a Labrador Retriever. I've never had any problem with this brand, and it seems to meet my dogs nutritional needs. And you cannot beat the price, for the value. Quality control is a big issue for me, and it is increasingly hard to feel safe when feeding your pets commercial foods. I've been having good luck with this one.

Today I purchased Purina Felix food for my cats and once opened I found maggots! The cat food came in a pack of 6 and the plastic was fine; after looking online I know I am not an isolated incident and people's pets have died because of it! Sort it out!!!

I am very disappointed that after so many similar complaints to what happen to my pet this past weekend. My beautiful 6 year old Black Lab was so sick we feared he would die. It could only be the food, he is a house dog and never out in the public. I fed him ONE SmartBlend Chicken and Rice. Then awoke Friday to a lot of vomit all around the house. Took him to a vet who found blood in his stool. He was dehydrated and weak.

I have always for several years purchased this brand of food in the large bags, But this month I purchased one of the smaller bags around 18-pound bag. Now my dog is so ill he has diarrhea real bad. This just started yesterday. I am trying to keep him hydrated. HE looks so bad I don't know if my dog will pull through this. I am giving him antibiotics so time will tell. I have taken pictures of him since he is so ill. Also it looks like the diarrhea has blood in it now. I will not be feeding my dogs this brand till questions are answered.

Has anyone experienced any issues with the prescriptive brands? A friend of ours’ dog almost died from moldy Purina One dog food last month. I thought about changing brands then but thought maybe the prescriptive diet food was different...?

In May 2013, I started giving my dogs wet food mixed in with their Blue Buffalo dry food as a treat; sadly, it has been anything but that. My old English bulldog started having yellow vomit 2-3 weeks after eating Purina every other day, and the vet said he had high level of liver enzymes and that she believed he had some type of vomiting syndrome and I bought that excuse. Then this past month, my pit bull has started having similar symptoms: diarrhea with mucus and sometimes blood in it, yellow vomit, and occasionally refusing to eat their dry food if Purina was mixed in.

Something has definitely changed for the worse with Purina One Smartblend cat food. My two 12-year old cats have eaten nothing but Purina One for their entire lives, starting with Purina One kitten chow. They have been happy and healthy, willingly scarfing down Purina One. Until about a week ago, when it became clear that my more adaptable male cat was eating a minimal amount of Purina One and his far more sensitive sister was eating virtually none. They are indoor city cats whose environment hasn't changed, showed no signs of being sick and were obviously hungry, regularly walking over to their bowls to eat, sniffing and staring at the food and walking away without eating. I thought I was losing my mind until I found this site and realized that there might really be something wrong with the Purina One that was driving my guys away from it.

We have four dogs, and I have fed Purina one lamb and rice dog food to my two dogs for several years and never had any problems with the food itself. When my son moved in he had two dogs, all senior citizens who became ill this week, vomiting, diarrhea, all very ill. We looked at the dog food this morning and found little white bugs on the food. I have tossed the whole can of food out. We keep it in a kitty little pail that has been washed out well and air dried for days. I am in the process of making an appointment with the vet asap to get them something immediately. If something happens to my dogs, God help Purina for this issue.

I have fed my Golden Labs Purina Pro Plan Chicken & Rice Formula for years. For the past year my wife and I have battled small larvae in the closet (on the ceiling) where I keep the dog food. Often small moths, we thought were coming through cracks in the walls somewhere in the closet. We never directly linked it to the dog food until recently as I've begun to dump it into a large plastic bin for storage. This is absolutely the source from brand NEW bags of food. The last NEW bag was infested with full grown moths and larva embedded in their food!! We did a search and found 607 complaints that it has been going on for many years and Purina is doing nothing about it. After 19 years I've purchased my last bag of Purina dog food and since the company continues to neglect this issue, I will continue to spread the word as much as possible. We urge you to do the same!

Let me start by saying that we have a total of 5 cats, all indoor and all confined to 3 rooms. On Tuesday, August 6, 2013, I fed my cat Boo (the other cats do not eat wet food) a 1/4 can of Purina Fancy Feast Flaked Tuna and left for work. My boyfriend woke up and saw throw-up and a yellow mucus. When I came home from work, I could not find Boo. She was hiding under the bed, I pulled her out and she was soaked from the stomach down, would not eat or drink and lethargic . I phoned the vet and was asked to bring her in, I explained that I live an hour away and they would be closed by the time I got there. I took her the next morning to the vet, she had a 104.9 fever, she was given an antibiotic shot and a food supplement, and they said to keep her isolated. The vet stated it was a virus and if she was not better in 72 hours to bring her back.

My wife bought some Purina One for our dogs, three Pyrenees, one 12, one 4 and one just a year old. That was yesterday and they tolerated it. Today, although fed from separate bags, three are vomiting up all the food. Usually I give the two younger dogs Nutro brand. This is large breed Purina One that they don't tolerate. The twelve-year-old has been just tolerating canned dog food but seemed to tolerate the One kibble for 24 hours, but all three vomiting is worrisome. Could be the make up of the Purina was not tolerated but I am looking for any reports of recalls. For now, will discard the two bags my wife bought and the two unopened bags I got at the Air Force commissary, maybe I can return them. They have never gotten sick on any dog food before.

I had been feeding my two dogs outing one lamb and rice for as long as I've had them. I had always trusted the Purina name and was unaware they were bought by Nestle. A few weeks ago I got a brand new bag at BJ's Wholesale Club and fed my dogs. After the first feeding, my 65-pound pit bull got severe diarrhea. The next day I fed them again and the same dog vomited everything she ate about an hour after eating. This lasted for 4 days. I brought her to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong. I fed my dogs again that night and my other dog vomited immediately after eating. So now both of my dogs have diarrhea and vomiting. I then thought I must have gotten a bad bag of food. I called Purina and they told me that there have not been any other complaints about their food but that they would give me a coupon. After reading all of this I am outraged. I have switched my dogs to Taste of the Wild and they love it and are now feeling better. I also switched my cats food from Purina to Wellness. I will never use Purina products again and am outraged that they are denying to us consumers that there is anything wrong with their products as our animals are getting sick and dying.

I have fed my English Bull Terrier Purina One Lamb & Rice Formula for several years. Off and on I have noted small larvae in the pantry (on the ceiling) where I keep the dog food - well over a year. Often small moths. I never directly linked it to the dog food until recently as I've begun to dump it into a large plastic bin for storage. This is absolutely the source from brand new bags of food. It is disgusting!! I just did a search and find on this site that it has been going on for many years. The company MUST know. Starting tonight I've purchased my last bag of Purina dog food - ever!! Spread the word... I will take a picture of these worms in the food...

I had always fed my cat Friskies brand wet cat food because its five ounce cans were comparatively cheaper than other cat foods available on the market and the large volume of food contained in the five ounce cans made the can last all day. So I continued to feed the Friskies to my cat on a regular basis. One day I bought a new batch of Friskies and opened a can. My cat ate a spoonful of it and then vomited. I just assumed that she had caught a stomach cold and that was causing her to threw up the food. The next day I opened another can of Friskies and she had a plateful of that and then vomited the food again. The third day, I opened another can and she ate a plate of that; she then suffered a lock jaw and could not swallow the food anymore.

I have owned, groomed, boarded, bred, and Shown Dogs to their American Kennel Club Championship for over a decade. I pride myself on educating myself about dogs and their well being, but I missed the Purina name being bought by Nestle and my animals suffered for it. They became very ill with digested blood in their stool, vomit, and weight loss. I am sickened that Purina/Nestle has known about this for years and done nothing. I have researched and made the choice to put my dogs on Acana and Orijen, and will never again support Purina or Nestle products.

Our two cats started vomiting after I started feeding them a new food, Purina Smartblend that I bought last week. Has anyone else had this problem? For dog owner, did you find out what was the cause of your dog's vomiting?

I am amazed at the stories concerning Purina One and Fancy Feast as that is all I feed my cats and they too are all becoming ill one at a time. I experienced the worms and webs in one of the bags and just thought it was some problem with the storage area at PetsMart and returned it blaming them. I am horrified to learn this has happened with many others. The stories of mold upon opening cans of Fancy Feast is absolutely horrifying since it tells a story of a whole batch of gore that was either canned anyway to avoid affecting their profits or illustrates severe violations on quality control they do not want to pay for. And there are 1000's of stories on the internet of illnesses beginning immediately after switching to a Purina Product.

After gradually changing dog foods to Purina Pro Plan sensitive stomach they both are in misery. My 11 year old golden stomach is grumbling and she seems really in distress. My one year old Westie stomach grumbling and vomiting yellow. She won't eat anything offered now. I will have to take two dogs to the vet to get them over this dog food issue.

My puppy, Charlie, passed away this morning. He started vomiting and having diarrhea on Sunday. He was brought to the vet on Monday. He started to have bloody watery BM and thick clear saliva that hung out of his mouth. Around 8 pm last night, I noticed that his pupils had become dilated and did not respond to light or movement. It was one of the hardest things to watch. I also have friends that had the same thing happen within the past month. One of the dogs passed away. The others just became very ill and had to be kept in the hospital. They all tested negative for Parvo and Corona. The one thing they all had in common was the Purina.

A few days ago I bought a bag of Purina ONE Smartblend Lamb and Rice Formula for my 8 lb yorkie/miniature schnauzer mix. We fed it to her for four days and for those four nights she has had diarrhea... bad diarrhea! Other than that, she is very happy and healthy. I have now, under the instruction of my vet, stopped giving her the Purina and am putting her on a bland diet of chicken and rice cooked in my own kitchen. After a few days of that I will introduce her to a different brand of lamb and rice dry food and see how that goes. Will keep you posted!

We had been using Purina One Large Breed for our dogs for years, until recently when several batches from different stores came infested with worms and meal moths. After contacting Purina, they did not apologize or say they would look into the problem (which I found on-line has been an ongoing problem with Purina products), they simply said that they were "not harmful to pets" and sent me coupons. Really?? I don't think any pet lover should invest $ in this company, who clearly does not care about pets!!

Fancy Feast 3oz. canned cat food fish & shrimp feast flaked - Both my cats have become very sick - vomiting and diarrhea. The first one, which I took to The Prescott Valley Pet Clinic, was treated by Dr. **. After spending a great deal of money getting her well, my other cat became ill. I called the vet this morning to tell the vet the same episode is occurring with my other cat. I contacted Purina only to find out that there is a recall on Fancy Feast of this same variety. After some research on the internet, I have found other people have experienced the exact same symptoms I am. Why was problem not made public knowledge?

My 2 Dachshunds started on the Purina OM prescription food to lose weight about a week and a half ago. After a week, they were eating half and half mixture of their old food and the OM. On July 3, around midnight, my dog Onyx passed a puddle of watery blood from his anus, and threw up any water that he drank. The 24-hour Vet hospital took X-rays and did some tests, and found no blockages or twisted colon.

I'm mad a week ago I got a 31.5 lb. bag of Purina Dry Dog Food. It was for my two senior dogs. I took it home and poured it in to my container like I always do. When I got my boys dog food the next day, they wouldn't eat it. I have a yorkie 9 lbs and a pitbull 82 lbs. When I looked in the food, there were worms coming out of the food. I took the food back to the store. They wouldn't do anything without the receipt. I lost over 32 lbs of dog food. It was Purina Dog Food for senior dogs Pro brand. I've been getting Purina for 11 years and never had this happen before. My dog grew up on the different brands of Purina and they love it. I also got a new container from Home Depot. I will continue to get Purina for the boys. I hope maybe you can correct this. I don’t shop at PetSmart anymore. Thanks.

I have been feeding my 4-legged child this food for 4 years. He had gotten sick last year due to ingesting something toxic and almost died, but the doctors were good and he recovered. During the time, he was being fed a prescription diet food. I was ready to make the transition back to Purina One and purchased a bag at PetSmart. I opened the bag and poured some into the container. I rubbed my hand over it to smooth it out so I could put the top on. When I did that, I noticed a glob on my hand. I started looking and it was a worm. The bag was infested with meal worms. They were eating the flat pieces of food and were actually inside these pieces. There were also some just crawling around. I knew when I looked at it good that it did not look normal.

We have been feeding our dog Beneful for 9 years (it's all he has ever had). But a few months back, there was one bag he refused to eat. After about 2 weeks, I realized it wasn't so much that he was sick, but didn't like the smell of the food. We bought another one bag (completely wasted the one bag) and he started eating. Figured it was just a bad bag (it did look different - dry and crumbly). Months later, he is now refusing to eat again. He smells it and refuses it just like before. But you get hungry enough and you'll eat anything. But then he eats a lot of grass because his stomach hurts. He is very lethargic and whines as if he isn't feeling well. This is not like him.

About 18 months ago, we had to switch dog food because Zuzu, our female husky mix, wouldn't eat any of the good stuff we usually bought - Taste of the Wild, Blue Buffalo, Pro Plan. What she DID like was Purina ONE chicken and rice formula. The other dogs liked it too, so that's what we've been buying. Last weekend, I had my husband stop after work to pick up a bag since I was almost out. Come Monday, Luna, our 9.5-year old Boston terrier, had diarrhea. I held wet food (usually mixed with dry for their evening meal) and just gave all four dogs dry food. Yesterday, came home to a ** mess, and I mean **!! We figured it was Luna! This morning, Zuzu and Caesar (our male boxer mix) both have diarrhea, but Luna is better since I've withheld dog food since the small bowl she got on Monday evening and I've been giving her boiled rice and canned pumpkin. Our fourth dog, Roo, a female Boston terrier, has never been sick a day in her life and has always seemed to tolerate everything and anything she consumes. I'll be keeping a close eye on her and hope she doesn't become ill too.

So I had been feeding my cat Purina Kit N Kaboodle but then she got sick on it so I complained to the company. They sent me a coupon for a free bag of food which I used to purchase Purina Cat Chow Complete. She was fine on that for a few months and now she's throwing up food again.

I have been buying Fancy Feast for my cats for years and never had a problem until 2 days ago, when I opened a can of Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys Turkey Tuscany, and it was covered with mold. I'm not sure I want to give her anything else from your company. I'm afraid there could be something wrong that I can't see that could be hurting her, but that's a problem seeing that it is the only food she will eat. The can has a best buy date of Jan. 2015. The lot # is 30081160L3FW11836. I don't even care about a refund for one can but I thought it was something you should know.

I just put down my 14 year-old Australian Shepherd after two bouts of extreme diarrhea and an attack of Vestibular Syndrome. The first bout of diarrhea came after I had added Purina One canned Tender Cuts ("Wholesome" Lamb & Brown Rice) to his kibbles (Rachel Ray's Nutrish, with which I have no complaint). The feces were bright yellow in color. He was treated with antibiotics and fed rice and boiled chicken; however, while I was away and against my instructions, his sitter gave him more of the canned food. When I returned, he again had extreme diarrhea. This time the Vestibular added to his misery.

Purina Little Bites - My Dog started vomiting up her food since I've started feeding it to her a few days ago and she doesn't want to eat it unless she's really hungry. My other dogs I've noticed don't want to eat it as well. I will have to go back to a different brand that we use to feed them. I feel like my dogs are starving themselves because this food is making them sick or feel bad. They will only eat a little bit of this food when they are starving. I don't recommend this brand of dog food.

I just opened a bag of Friskies Dry cat food and it was infested. I called PetSmart and they are going to refund our money. They can't replace it because when they checked the whole shipment, they were all infested which is fine because I think I'm changing foods if my cats can tolerate it. This really seems to be a problem with Purina/Friskies. I called Purina and they are sending me a refund and coupons. It is infested with moths and it looked like webs on the inside. And when my husband opened the food, a moth or two flew out into our house. Now we have to watch for them and try to kill them.

I have a Terrier/Poodle mix that we rescued from the local shelter 5 years ago now. For the better part of the last five months or so, my dog has been having constant vomiting issues as well as very loose BM. It got to the point where he would smell his food and back away from the bowl. He wouldn't even eat a single piece, but give him Milk Bones and he gobbled those up with no issues after.

My dog definitely got sick from Purina's Puppy Chow. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him for a while. After a few days of diarrhea, I took him to the vet, had a fecal test run (which came back negative) and put him on antibiotics and all that. I have been giving him prescription diet i/d since then instead of his dry food. He was finally back to normal this morning. Well, I mistakenly mixed in some of the Purina when I fed him this morning because he seemed to be doing so well. When I got home this morning, his diarrhea was worse than it had been a couple of days ago!

My cats throw it up; my dog's coat looked horrible. I had to change pet food.

I've been feeding my dog Purina dog food ever since my dog was a puppy; he is now eight years old. My veterinarian told me it was wise to put him on senior dog food. Of course, I chose Purina Senior; it is my only choice. I'm an adult in my 60s and when I was a child, we fed our dog and cats only Purina. So there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted Purina to be in my dog's diet. To be honest, my choice is Purina. I did maybe have one or two issues with them and both times, they were very sincere and took care of the matter quickly and efficiently and professionally. My vote is for Purina - A+!

We have been feeding our cats Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health formula for the longest time; before that, Purina One in the same formula. With the Purina One, there was a recall that no one really knew much about. The products were still on the shelves, and we were still purchasing it. Our cats were vomiting profusely, lethargic and irritable. This is when I found the recall and contacted Purina about the matter. They were sorry for the trouble and mailed me a couple coupons for more of their food. Really? That is when we switched to the Pro Plan. We were doing fine for quite a while. Recently, that is not the case. With the last two bags of food, we started noticing some changes in our cats again that turned into more vomiting.

Well, as for last night, one of the big dogs has begun vomiting and has pudding-like stools, and one of the babies in the other building, not sure which, vomited. I'm taking the dogs and stool samples to the vet tomorrow. For all I know, this might be a viral or bacterial infection. I will keep you all posted. Today, all the dogs are on rice with cottage cheese with a very little Hills W/D for a bit more flavor. My vet used Purina himself and has had no problems. He is checking with UC Davis to see whether they know of any changes in formulation or pre-recall problems.

I had purchased one can ProPlan Ground Chicken and Rice on my PetSmart card on Thursday, May 9, 2013. I had never used the product, but my dog is a picky eater, so I decided to try him on the ProPlan, because of the advertisement claiming it is so healthy for our pets. My dog started eating it on that following Saturday. By Sunday, he threw up and wouldn't eat, and on Monday, May 13, 2013, he ate a small portion, but then again threw up. He began not acting very well, so I drove to the Banfield clinic, where he is a patient, and related what had been going on.

Apparently, there may be problems with Purina products: Dog Chow (which had one recall), Purina One and Pro (which have not) and I am finding that I am not alone with mysteriously ill dogs. We have three established little chi's (here for several years, the most recent over a year and a half) who are having bloody diarrhea and general lethargy. So I decided to see if there were any recalls on the foods we use. There aren't. But I found this interesting blog site and am sharing the site link with a large number of dog people I know.

I had been feeding my Dachshund Purina Pro plan & she seemed to be pooping a lot. I switched to Purina One Beyond Chicken & Oatmeal recipe. She did not want to eat it which has never happened with any food. The little bits that she ate she spit the rest back out. I thought that it was just not tasty & figured she needed to get used to it. The third day on Purina One Beyond, she had massive diarrhea & vomiting. She almost died & has not yet fully recovered. I called Purina & they refused to take accountability & said they would send me a coupon. Really?! I paid 3 grand trying to save my pet & you are going to send me a 2-dollar coupon? I'm disgusted.

We recently adopted a second kitten named Shadow, through PetSmart to be a playmate for our resident kitten, India. When we adopted Shadow, PetSmart gave us a bag of Purina Pro plan kitten food, as this was what they were feeding the pets at the facility. I tried to keep India separated from him when they ate, as she is on Royal Canin and we were trying to wean Shadow on to the Canin as well.

My Keeshound is not a fan of dog food. He’s spoiled, but he eats Purina One with no side effects. In fact, he seems to be feeling better. He is 11 years old with no hip problems. He prefers to eat chicken and rice, or burger and rice; but if he doesn't get that, he will eat the Purina One. I have tried numerous different dog foods, and it seems to be the best and one that he will eat. As far as snacks, he eats the Alpo Variety Snaps and that is the only snack he will eat. I tried others, and he turns his nose up at them, and then set it under the dining room table. I think that Purina is the best dog food on the market, and I am sick of people accusing them of killing their fur children. I know a lot of people that work there, and they are very caring people. It is a great place to work because the employees can bring their pets to work.

My sister is a boxer breeder and always feeds her dogs Purina Pro Plan Shredded Chicken and Rice. She had a litter of puppies and some where sold and sent to homes. One came to my house. The last two dogs had severe diarrhea and throwing up. The vet figured out that the food had worm larvae in the food and the dog was given IVs to help the dehydration. She was in such bad shape that she eventually passed away. No help from Purina.

I bought a 50-pound bag of Purina One. I have a golden retriever and a cocker spaniel. Both of my dogs have been throwing up and also having watery stools for the past two weeks. I took all treats away not believing it could be dog food. I have always bought Purina One. Well, we threw it out after reading this blog and they are showing no signs of sickness now. I'm glad I got rid of it before I lost a pet. My heart goes out to those who have.

Our Dane is an adopted Dane. The lady we got her from said she had been feeding her Purina One. We did the same, not wanting to mess up her schedule. This past month, she's passed up on eating her food and gone to eating grass. We mixed a couple of other things like pureed sweet potato in with the food. She would eat some, but not all, then goes out and starts eating grass to throw it up. I just started checking this morning and I'm concerned about the problems I've read from others. I'm throwing out the rest of the Purina, will feed my Dane some boiled rice and chicken for the next couple of days then find another dog food.

I went to Just for Pets and bought a large bag of kitten food, with vouchers off next purchase. When I opened the bad, the vouchers they were out of date. I bought more food on 24/1, and the vouchers were out of date. I went back in last week, on 22/4, and the vouchers on the large bag of kitten food were also out of date. I complained to the staff that every bag I bought had vouchers that were out of date. They told me too complain directly to you. Surely, this is false advertising as the vouchers are worthless. Please go to Just for Pets in Bentley Bridge, Wolverhampton and check the vouchers out for yourself. This is false advertising, and there are laws against this.

I am very fussy about the food I feed my cats. Recently, I went to Purina's website and submitted a simple question - does your cat food have any ingredients that originate in China? They never answered my question and sent me a link to one of their websites that assures customers how much they do to ensure their cat food is safe, etc. etc. - spin, spin, spin. I will stop using all Purina products as a result. If more people simply stopped using their products, this foolishness would end. I guess this is what happens when a large multinational company (Nestle) buys an iconic American company.

Today, I read an article about USDA giving into the demands of the FDA and FSIS about wanting to add 3 toxic ingredients to all dog food so the meat stay fresher longer. As I read this article, it brought my attention to my dogs' dog food. We have always fed our Chloey the Purina Dog Chow and never had problems until about January when we switched to the Lamb and Rice formula for a mix up in her taste. She loved it! However, I didn't notice until reading the reviews of how much she has changed. She doesn't have the get up and go and has seemed rather grumpy. I thought it has been the crazy weather we have been having in Missouri. But the past 3 weeks, she has been wanting to eat excessive amounts of grass. Needless to say, tomorrow I'm going to the store and will be buying her stuff for her homemade dog food. I've wanted to do this for a while now and now this is the extra incentive to do it.

Our once beautiful, loving and healthy Siberian Husky (Jericho) passed away today, April 21st, 2013. Only seven days ago he was his happy, healthy self. He ran to the door to greet us; he barked at the mailman; and he begged for table scraps. Earlier in the week we had gone shopping as usual and bought a bag of Purina One Cat food for our two cats. When we brought it home, they positively refused to eat it and cried with hunger. Very unlike them. We gave them a different brand we feed our younger cat, but left the bowl of Purina in hopes that they would stop being fussy. Jericho has a long history of eating the cat food when it is left unattended and did just that.

My dog has been eating the Purina lamb and rice dog food for years. I bought a new 30lb bag from Walmart about 2 weeks ago and my dog refused to eat it. I left it out all day and she ate a few pieces and just drank water. She's been eating grass a lot and seems lethargic. She ate a bit more and wanted to drink a lot. I gave her dog treats and she gobbled them up no problem. I tried the food for a wethinly[sic] sure what was going on. She ate a bit and drank a lot again. I bought a completely different type of dog food and she gobbled it up instantly! She seems to be doing ok now, so I tried her back on the Purina food and she ate a few pieces and started eating grass again! I’m throwing the Purina food out. Obviously my dog is trying to tell me there is something wrong with this food! I'll notify Purina and see if there have been other complaints. I guess it's time to change brands!

I have a total of 5 cats, all domestic: Two short hairs (10 going on 11-year-old, gray tiger; and a 7 going on 8-year-old, black haired cat); two medium hairs (a 3-year-old black and white, and a 2-year-old black), they are brothers a year apart; and a 1-year-old long haired tabby. I bought this product because Purina said it would help the ones that don't need to lose weight maintain weight and the ones that do lose weight. I followed the instructions at the back. We started using the product a year ago when it came out. Everything seemed fine until winter hit. My one year old in November started losing hair on the back of his neck. First spot was the size of a dime and he was constantly digging. We thought maybe he was allergic to plastic, so I went out and bought stainless steel bowls and got rid of the plastic.

Do not buy this food for your pets! Thanks to your worthless dog food our Lab will soon die of cancer at the young age of 8. For his entire life we have fed him Purina Pro Plan (large breed with shredded "chicken"). We also fed him several treats made by Purina, including the biscuits and the Busy Bones. We never put all the evidence together, but it's now clear to us that feeding him Purina brand food (and treats) has slowly poisoned him. He now has an aggressive form of cancer. Three weeks ago, when he first showed signs of illness, we switched his food to a healthier and natural brand. We have already started to see a big improvement in his health and outward appearance, but I'm afraid it's too little too late to combat the cancer. He will now be having surgery on Tuesday, which is going to cost us thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, it will only prolong his life a matter of months.

I am quite fussy about what I give my 5-year-old cat - steering away from the cheapest cat food. But for a treat and a change (as she likes a varied diet), I introduced some Purina One dried cat food in Salmon flavor bought on chance from a supermarket. It was not especially cheap. It seemed like a good brand and she loved it. Note: She was not eating this alone, only had a handful each day. Within two weeks, she started to vomit several times a day. I took her to vets, who did blood tests. Her pancreas was inflamed and more expensive tests were needed. She was taken off all her old foods (including the Purina) by the vet and put onto Hills prescription D/D diet (don't know if you can get it in US?), as well as tablets to stop the vomiting.

My cat is eating Kit N Kaboodle and every once in awhile, she throws it up.

I noticed three weeks ago all my animals were throwing up and had diarrhea. I took all of them off Beneful dogs and Meow Mix for cats within a week. They were almost all improved except two cats. One died about an hour ago. My husband ran out of our Labs' dog food and bought a different Purina brand, and within 4 days, he was throwing up and falling down. It was so sad. He went from running around to not being able to hold himself up. I took and threw the food away and put him on the Buffalo brand. In 7 days, he was back to his old self so I am positive this food is poisoned. Again, I lost 4 cats and 5 dogs the last time when the food was poisoned. These animals were the exact same symptoms. Please make someone recall their food.

I had a 12-year-old healthy cat. She had no health problems and was active. I had a coupon for Purina One SmartBlend so thought I would try it. She died 1 week later. The vet thought she had anti-freeze poisoning which would be impossible as she is an inside cat. I am going to have the food tested and try to rule out the pet food but that is the only thing different she had! Anyone have any ideas where I could have the food tested? Anyone else have this problem? I miss her as she was a long time loyal pet. I have since gotten another cat and I still have the cat food but I am too afraid to let her try it.

I lost my Yorkie a year ago for unexplained reasons, a healthy happy dog just got sick and bled out. His blood was unable to coagulate. The vet offered to do an autopsy but I just wanted to take him home and bury him. It was very painful to watch what had happened and have no answers. I am now watching my Chihuahua follow much of the same symptoms. Again, no one knows how to help her and it's heartbreaking. Had someone said to me the dog food you’re feeding your dogs are slowly poisoning their bodies, this wouldn't be happening for a second time. The synthetic vitamin K they put in their dog food is known to cause this to happen in dogs. It's toxic to their organs. Why would they sacrifice someone's loved pet for mere money? No words can explain what I had to live through and my poor pet, and now it's beyond sad. My heart is breaking! Please if I can get through to one person then I have saved your pet, not sure I can mine.

My 17-month-old Yorkie got very sick after eating Purina One Smartblend Chicken & Rice. He began throwing up and became generally lethargic. I have read the reviews of the food from other consumers and the input is very bad with many dogs having the same or worse reactions. The back says Best By: Aug 2014 30521079 1701 L10. I am taking it back to the store to alert them to the issue I have had. I think this dog food needs to be recalled based on what I have read about it and personally experienced. I am now taking my Yorkie to the vet to be sure he is okay. I think the company needs to take action on this.

I have a ten-year-old Siamese mix cat and for the past two years, we have been feeding her Kitten Kaboodle. Well, immediately after she would eat, she would throw the food back up. I had taken her to the vet and they had said that they didn't see any health problems with her, that maybe it was just due to her age and to just keep a watch on her. Well, after finding this website and all these horror stories, I truly believe that it is the cat food. I am taking her off it and finding something all natural even if it means that I have to make the food myself.

My dog and cat are finicky eaters and love Purina food. However, the food is infested with grain bugs (white webbing in bags with black cocoons and flying bugs) that hatch the longer you have the food. Purina first accused me of having grain bugs in my house - I live in a city, not a farm. Purina gave me tons of free coupons. One day I went to Pet Supermarket, Petco and Petsmart; all the Purina dog and cat food that I tried to buy was infested with grain bugs. The stores say it is due to cheap grains that Purina uses. My poor dog and cat are so upset not getting their Purina anymore. Now using Buffalo, but the dog doesn't like it and the cat just cries from hunger. Please help me!

Purina Tidy Cats scoop for multiple cats, yellow with red lid - My cat’s eyes swelled up and the third lid was exposed. She became lethargic and had diarrhea. I noticed turquoise crystals on the floor that had come off her feet from the litter box, so I picked one up and threw it in the trash. I touched my face and my face instantly got a red welt. And I must have touched my lip and I got almost like a blister. I washed my face and put ice on it and it got better. My cat got better when I removed the litter. Something is very wrong with this type of litter. Number on box 3003116703 1627107.

I am a long time customer of Purina. I have rescued and raised many puppies and all of them have been fine on Purina Puppy Chow. I now have 8 dogs, 7 adult and 1 puppy. I recently wanted to give my adult dogs a change, so I changed from Beneful to Purina Smart One Lamb and Rice (I believe the lot # is SP54401 41308794). After one bowl, all 7 of my adult dogs had severe diarrhea and continue vomiting for the next 24 hours. I called my vet and he instructed me what to do and stated it must have been the food. I have 4 very old dogs and was unsure if they were going to make it, but thank God they did. We called Purina and they stated they had received no complaints with this dog food, but after reading this website, I find that hard to believe. Please if you have experienced a similar situation, please call them and file a claim.

My dog has been eating Iams since he was a puppy and he finally got bored of it after 11 years. I have been feeding him Purina Lamb and Rice for several months. Recently he has been lethargic and has been sleeping more than normal, but I thought he just had a cold. Yesterday he began vomiting and dry heaving. I reduced his servings to see if he would hold down smaller amounts in case he had the flu.

I bought a brand new bag of dog food on Friday, 3/28/2013, Chef Michael's Chicken Flavor which I have fed my dog for 3 years now. He has been throwing up this past weekend. I didn't see this food on the recall list, but I found this forum and was very alarmed. I will be pulling my business from Purina as a result. I am very saddened by this because throughout all the recalls that have gone wild the past few years with dog food/cat food, this one always seemed to hold steady. I hope my dog will be okay. It makes me very nervous that there still isn't a recall on Purina products right now, because reading the entries about this and it being within the past month is very alarming.

I opened a new 30-pound bag and both dogs refused to eat it. We have been buying this product since January 2013. It smelled different. After smelling over and over, it came to me that it smells like mouse droppings. Years and years ago I bought a country home that came with a stove. I cleaned the oven and baked in it. It had a terrible smell and I discovered under the stove top the many mouse droppings that had heated up when I used the range. Smells exactly like this bag of food. I am not accusing, but I know my pets and they say it's bad. Too bad we can't trust any companies anymore. Be careful people. My husband thinks I overreact, but he doesn't realize the money I'm saving in vet bills. No more Purina products.

Pro Plan Chicken and Rice - My dogs have been eating this food for several months with no problems. In the last two weeks, one of my dogs has developed vomiting and diarrhea. I visited my vet this morning after Imodium failed to slow down the problem. There was another dog there with similar symptoms this morning. We began a conversation and I discovered he had been feeding his dog the same food I was using. My dogs are inside/outside and I keep an eye on them when they go out. I could not find anything they had gotten into that was new to the environment in the yard. At first, I thought only one of the two had a problem. When I returned home from the vet, I let the other dog out and discovered that he too had diarrhea. I then started reading some of the posts on this site.

We have a 6-year-old Australian Kelpie. She never had any health issues at all. She had been eating Purina One since she was a puppy. We switched from the Chicken to Beef to Lamb just to give her variety. About 3 weeks ago, she started drinking non-stop. I had just recently opened a bag of the Chicken and Rice. After two days and a few accidents in the house (just pee), we took her to the vet. She showed no other signs of sickness. There was no diarrhea, vomiting or change of attitude.

In 2009, our male cat that ate Kit and Kaboodle his whole life and was only 2 years old came down with renal failure; he could not be saved. Shortly after, we adopted two kittens, both females. They were 3.5 years old. Pinky died this morning, March-14-2013. She also ate Kit and Kaboodle her whole life. These are indoor cats; they don't go outside. They don't get into things, and they don’t swallow things. I have been reading reviews about Purina cat food by other consumers, and I am convinced it is related to the food. Two cats in four years seem to be oddly excessive. I’m 47 and have never seen our cats die before they were 10 plus years. Plus, one of the other cats is constantly throwing up the food right after she eats it. I thought she just ate too fast but, I now think otherwise. Can someone please get on this with Purina? Why are these pets dying?

We have always used Purina products until recently. In September 2012, Sara had puppies. We only fed her Purina Puppy Chow through pregnancy and delivery and through to her weaning puppies. Then she was fine but in two days was dead. We thought it was due to complications. Now I think it was the dog food. She vomited uncontrollably, had this far off look in her eyes, and couldn't even hold her head up and then started a bloody diarrhea. Yesterday, March 4, 2013, I bought Purina One Lamb and Rice and after four hours of first feeding, my two dogs both started vomiting until it was bloody and mucus filled. We had not changed anything else and neither had been out of sight nor in a different location. I nursed them all night long and gave them a different brand of dog food and they are doing so much better today. Needless to say, I will never use Purina again! I have been spreading the word to all my friends and family and several have even said they had similar issues with different kinds but always a Purina brand. I hope they start a major recall and figure out what is going on and if not, I hope they go bankrupt and lose the right to make food of any kind. I included a picture of the exp. date and lot number.

I purchased a 30+ pound bag or Purina One Lamb and Rice. When I got home and opened the bag, all the soft lamb pieces were moldy and disgusting. I live over 100 miles from the nearest store so I couldn't just go return it. I was forced to pick out all the moldy pieces and feed this food to my dog. I am a very dissatisfied customer and will never purchase this brand of food again. Luckily, my mother-in-law was coming out for a visit that following weekend, so my dog only had to eat this disgusting food for a few days.

I purchased Purina One canned dog food and when I opened it, I saw it was moldy. All 6 cans I purchased, they had expiration dates of set and Nov. 2014 respectively. I called the company and they said it can happen when cases are stacked at factory (compresses can enough for air to get in though no obvious sign of damage can be seen). I took my coupons a month later, bought more and guess what, yep, all were moldy and now different best before dates. I gave up and did not call again because obviously, it needs to be removed from the shelf and they do not seem to care. So I trashed the food and threw out the remaining coupon. Really bad and obviously widespread. My first purchase was in Windsor, CT and second in Norwalk, CT. I just think someone like you should know. Thank you.

We've been feeding our dog Purina Lamb and Rice for 11 years without any problems, until recently. About a week ago (2/25/13), she started throwing up profusely (for over 24 hours, on and off about every 3 hours), wouldn't drink at all at first & then started to only to throw it back up, couldn't poop but was trying to a lot and obviously wouldn't eat. I made a vet appointment. They did blood work & X-rays - everything came back normal (thankfully) except her "intestines looked abnormal" & her colon was completely cleaned out (vet said diarrhea). She has been on nausea meds and antibiotics for about 4 days and is finally getting back to normal.

We have two dogs that were Labrador-Retriever mixes. One had surgery on her foot. Due to the medicines she was on, we added a small bag of Purina to her dog food to entice her to eat. Unfortunately, our other dog, Stephie, ate it instead. Afterwards, she started acting lethargic, and she kept vomiting. When we took her to the vet, they ran blood work and said her kidneys were shutting down. After two days on IV therapy, we got the bad news that there was nothing else they could do; she passed away on February 20th.

Last November, I lost two members of my family after feeding them both Purina dog food; my 10-year old Pitbull mix named Ginger, and a 3-year old Labrador mix named Jameson. Unaware of the allegations against Purina at that time, I had been feeding both dogs several different forms of the brand including Beneful and Purina Lamb and Rice mix. Ginger became ill first. In a matter of two weeks, she went from the loving and energetic dog that had been by my side for 9 years to an ill stricken dog with kidney failure, vomiting, loose bowels, and could barely move under her own power. After many costly veterinary visits, we regretfully had to put her down on 11/03/12.

My 3.5-month old Golden Retriever puppy has been in perfect health until I bought that bag of Purina One Puppy kibble! After one bowl of it, he vomited. I chalked it up to being fixed the night before, pain meds perhaps. I continued to feed him a mixture of his other food and the Purina One. He's had diarrhea light pudding like all over the place. I'm still blaming it on the surgery, not thinking it's the food change. I get him to only Purina One and he is now pooping nothing but mucus and slime on his first day of only Purina One! I rushed him to the vet know getting the one plus one equals my poor puppy. It's the food. The vet runs parasite tests, parvo and blood work. I am instructed to feed him pumpkin, rice, yogurt, scrambled eggs, and chicken only for the days I await the test results.

Purina Dog Chow - My dog has been on Purina for nine years but this bag I purchased has made her extremely sick - no eating, no drinking and bloody stools. We will never have it in our home again. Thank goodness she has a great vet who was able to save our dog.

My cat was on Purina cat chow indoor formula. She started acting needy, pacing, and meeting non-stop like she was trying to tell us something. Then she started doing circles and zones off into space, drooling and seizures, then followed by not eating or drinking. We took her to the vet and got no answers. After reading all the same symptoms from other people, I am pretty sure it was the cat food! I will not buy it anymore. My cat also died 3 days later.

I purchased Purina Little Bites for my dog because it was on sale. She seemed to love it and went through an entire bag. After purchasing a second bag, I noticed that she was having what seemed to me as a bout of diarrhea. In the next couple of days, the diarrhea turned bloody and she was incontinent all over the kitchen floor. She was extremely ill, so I called the emergency vet. They informed me that they thought it was the food (since I had just changed it) and gave me a home recipe of food to prepare for her that would help her get better and give her digestive system a break. It was boiled chicken, pumpkin puree, rice and yogurt. After a few days of the new food regimen, I switched her over to grain-free Blue Buffalo food. She has been fine ever since. I will never purchase a Purina product ever again.

My dog ate some of that Purina healthy Radiance dog food on 1/20/13. She was fine before that. She stopped eating and drinking so we took her to the vets. They said her blood platelets were extremely low and she wasn't producing red blood cells. Before this, she was 125 lb. healthy Alaskan malamute. They prescribed meds on 2/17/13 but to no avail. She would not eat or drink. She was drooling, staring into space with that 1000-yard look and could not stand up. The nearest animal hospital was 30 miles away. By the time we rushed her there, she died. Purina foods should be recalled.

My 3 dogs were on Purina food. I purchased a bag of Little Bites last week. On the 2nd day, all 3 dogs were vomiting and had severe diarrhea, one dog with blood in his stool. I took off Purina and fed boiled burger with rice for several days. The dogs all got better so I re-introduced Little Bites back into their diet. Immediately all 3 dogs developed same symptoms again! I threw the Purina in the trash and went and bought a bag of Nutrish food. The dogs are doing great with no more problems! There will never be Purina in this house again. Thank goodness my dogs didn't die.

Purina one chicken and rice - Today I finally broke down and threw away 4 bags with maybe 1/8 rice in the bottom of the bag. The chicken just doesn't seem to make the whole bag no matter how I shake or stir. It's too bad cause my dog likes it. I'm not satisfied.

On two separate occasions, we purchased Purina One Beyond cat food and discovered moth larvae and live moths in the bags immediately upon opening them. One of the bags was purchased in October 2012 and the second bag was purchased in January 2013. When we brought the second bag back to PetSmart, the manager told us that they have had problems with Purina One Beyond in the past having moths. We also lost our beautiful and healthy 8-year-old kitty in November. After reading all of these reviews, I can't help but wonder if it could have been the Purina food. She was a 100% indoor kitty who never had any health problems until one day, we noticed she was extremely lethargic and not eating.

I am trying to figure out what is going on with my 3 dogs. I have been feeding them Purina One Beyond for the past few years with no problems. About two weeks ago, I decided to try to save some money and switch back to Dog Chow. One of my dogs started having diarrhea and throwing up. About a day later, she was fine. The next day, one of the other dogs started. I went back to the straight Purina One. They have been throwing up randomly since. They seem to take turns being sick. I tried mixing it again yesterday, and the third one started throwing up. I am not sure if it’s just the Dog Chow or the One Beyond also. I'm trying a totally different brand now to see if it helps. I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this change?

I started Beyond One when it first hit the markets. Honestly, it was cheap. I went from a much higher quality dry food for my cats to Beyond, thinking: 1) I’m saving money; and 2) I want to cut back how much they eat in dry. The last 1.5 years has been hell for us. Our cats experienced UTIs, defecating issues, and now, fatty liver disease. The two more affected are senior cats who preferred dry over wet. One has IBD, therefore a suppressed immune system. Cat #2 had at least UTIs (took months to figure out which cat was ill) and stopped eating over a week ago. He just spent 4 nights in the ER and $3600 later, he is on a feeding tube and may have neurological disorder.

We have been feeding our golden retriever Purina brand for years, including Beneful. On January 28, 2013, everything was fine. She was playing and running around like normal. The night of January 29, 2013, I noticed her crying about 6PM. When I went to her, she was seizing uncontrollably; puss was coming from her eyelids; her eyes were glazed over and would not respond to light; and clear fluids were leaking from her mouth. When the seizure subsided, she would just lie there breathing with no response to light, sound or touch. She suffered several seizures before we finally had to put her down. The last dog food we gave her was Purina Dog Chow. If this is indeed what is happening, it's all Purina and not just Beneful.

Lira is a rescue horse, neglected by her former owners, who has been with me now for about a year and a half. She had recovered beautifully, and was a happy active girl until this past fall when I bought her a bag of Purina Ultium food from our neighborhood feed store. She began losing weight, lying around, and was generally deteriorating. She got so bad that I had the vet scheduled to come euthanize her, but the morning it was scheduled, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Coincidentally, she had eaten the last of her Ultium the day before, so I stopped at a different little place and picked her up some cheap sweet feed, just to get her by. The lady who ran that store told me that she would not sell Purina products - that a friend of hers had lost their two racehorses because of Purina Ultium, but I didn't think too much of it, and just took the new feed home to Lira.

Like everyone else complaining of Purina, I bought the Purina One Beyond thinking it would do my dog good. Well, I was wrong. He ate it Tuesday night (1/28/13) and yesterday (1/29/13) he vomited all over the house (and he didn't even eat that much of it) and had uncontrollable shaking and had to be rushed to the vet. He was given a shot of Pepcid and a shot of anti-nausea meds and I am happy to say he is okay today. I called them to complain and they said they would have the clad dept call me which is usually in 2-4 business days because I want to be reimbursed for this! Beware of this food!

I purchased a bag of Purina One Senior at my local grocery store yesterday. When I opened the bag this morning to transfer the dog food to an easier to handle plastic container, I noticed there was a chunk of something that was blue in the bag. I pulled it out and it was a chunk of blue wood! I have attached four photos of the bag with the codes and best-by dates on it as well as the chunk of wood. I am going to throw this out. I believe it could possibly contaminate my dog with lead or another type of poisoning. I am so disappointed. We have trusted Purina to provide a quality product for our pet, and now I find out the quality control at Purina is so poor that items that cannot be consumed are accidently being put in the food. I don't know if Purina One is made in the U.S. or not, but regardless, I do not trust this brand of pet food now.

Waggin Train chicken jerky treats killed my precious Gigi and Purina Little Bites sickened her sister, Abby, who was given to me a week after she died. Finally, you withdrew the treats? When will you withdraw your foods made from the same source? Please visit Justice for Gigi on Facebook.

My cat became lethargic, started breathing very rapidly and heavily and was gagging. Then after a couple of days was having diarrhea. All these since I changed the food to the Indoor Cat formula. I threw it out. Still have to take the cat to the vet, just in case.

I feed almost 100 homeless cats - mostly with donated food! Please, can all of you (who post information) post the lot numbers from the bags that you are having problems with so that the FDA can better search which plant is manufacturing the bags that you are all having problems with. Please, I need some help! We cannot afford another option, except donated food. But I cannot afford to kill 100 cats either. I have several friends that feed more than 1,000 homeless cats collectively. Please, let us all start giving the FDA more information to help them solve this problem faster! Thank you!

As I have seen on this site, my Basset hound would eat very little and then go out and eat grass and often vomit. This stuff needs to be taken off the market!

In November 2012, I purchased my usual bag of Purina Pro Plan dog food (for small breed). My 2 dogs didn't seem to like it at all. My granddaughter came to visit with her Boxer and he ate some of the food. Almost immediately, he had a severe case of diarrhea. The next day, my 2 dogs were also sick. They had diarrhea and vomiting. They refused to eat anything and drank more water than usual. I bought diarrhea medication at the pet store and my male seemed to get somewhat better. However, my female Chihuahua was only getting worse. I rushed her to the vet and was told she had a very bad bacterial. She also had a high liver enzyme count. My dogs now refuse to eat any kind of Purina dry dog food. I believe that the bag of food I purchased was contaminated. Very disappointed with Purina.

I have 2 adult dogs who were on Purina One and Beyond. Both started to develop signs of renal failure. I foster often and it wasn't until the puppies I was fostering and feeding Purina Pro Plan Puppy became ill that I made the connection between the renal issues and the food. One puppy has been on 2 course of antibiotics at 4 months old, but he was losing so much fluid that I am concerned he will not recover. He was adopted into a wonderful home when they first thought the vomiting was related to a simple UTI that was caught, they believed, as it just reached the kidneys. He is now very ill but his new family loves him. I felt terrible that I fed them the food from 6 weeks old.

I bought a box of Purina Cat Chow at Pet Club in Santa Rosa, CA last Friday, Dec 28. I opened it Sunday morning and poured some into a separate little storage container. I have given my cat a few little snacks of it . Then this morning (Monday), I noticed some of the Cat Chow was hanging out of the container. So I opened it up and saw webbing and larvae all over the food. I hope my cat will be okay. She looks tired but hasn't thrown up or anything. When I saw other similar complaints on this website, I became concerned. The expiration is Dec. 2013 with serial #21741083 0821L10.

I just purchased a bag of Purina cat food and after a couple of days, I noticed moths in my kitchen cabinet where I keep the food, plus one of my cats had been throwing up since using that food. I found that the moths were coming from the Purina cat food and there were worms, webbing and eggs all over the bag inside and out, which explained why my cat was sick. I had to spend hours during the holiday cleaning my kitchen to get rid of the invasion, and I am still finding a few stray moths roaming that I have missed. I had thrown out all of the dry cat food as well as all of my dry foods just to be safe. Do not buy Purina food.

I purchased a bag of Purina One Kitten Food tonight for the very last time. I was in a hurry to feed my Bengal and the new kitten when I got home from school before my 2-year-old could get into any trouble. So I didn't notice the worms, larvae and webbing throughout the entire 16 pound bag. I returned an hour later to worms and larvae crawling everywhere. I had been having some issues since using this food with vomiting and loose, extremely smelly stool. But I didn't think it was such a big deal until I opened the bag and found the worms, which led me to this website.

My four-month-old Siberian husky, Lyla, was in healthy condition until I changed her food to Purina One lamb and rice formula (8 lb bag), which I purchased at a Wal-Mart store in El Centro, CA 92243. She became slow, inactive, had diarrhea and was vomiting. After five days in this condition, the day after Christmas, she died. We have another dog named Clyo, a 36-month-old Schnauzer, who has been lethargic since then. She didn't eat too much like she used to with other food products.

I just purchased a bag of Lamb and Rice Purina One dog food. I opened the bag and dished out 6 bowls of food. On the last scoop, I noticed a webbing. I went back and picked up the dog food bowls. There was webbing and maggots amongst the food! Needless to say, I instantly returned the food to the bag and took it back to the store. I spoke to both managers on staff and was informed that it was meal moth larvae and that they wished they didn't have to sell it because this has happened before! I can't stop scratching. I am so disgusted by the fact that worms were in my dogs' bowls and in my kitchen! They should not be allowed to sell dog food if they can't serve quality products. I will never buy Purina again!

There are worm infestations in many bags of Purina One Cat food. I have had to return 4 bags of Purina One Urinary tract and 2 bags of Purina One indoor formula for cats. Disgusting! Live worms, webs, worm poop. They have worm eggs in the food and the worms are dead and hatching. I am switching to Iams.

I have two beautiful cats. Twix - a tiger cat, and Bella -a tuxedo cat. Twix I have had since a kitten, and Bella was a stray that I took in. I had been feeding my cats either Meow Mix or Purina Cat Chow hard food the entire time I have had them. They always seemed fine, except that I noticed Bella was gaining weight. I read up on all the info on different cat foods that I could find, and decided that Purina One Indoor Formula was a good choice for my cats. It wasn't overly expensive and seemed to have a very good ingredients list. I made the switch in April 2012.

I recently bought a new bag of Kitten Chow. When tearing back the folds at the top of the package, I found several small yellow worms crawling around in the glue area just before the opening at the top. Yuck! There was also 1 on the end of the bag once the top was completely unfolded. They didn't appear to have gotten into the bag, so I didn't throw it out, but I will likely move on to a new brand of dry food next time. I'm not sure how the worm eggs (I'm sure that's incorrect terminology) got into the glue or packaging, but this is something that needs to be looked into at the plant.

I have two eleven-year-old labs, who have eaten Purina dry foods for the majority of their lives. However, after purchasing the One Beyond Chicken, one immediately came down with bloat on Thanksgiving morning and required emergency surgery. Thankfully, she is fine now after the $2800 surgery. Her brother began vomiting and experiencing diarrhea three days later. He now refuses to eat the Purina One Beyond, as well as his sister who is only eating Science Diet. My vet said that it is highly unusual for a dog of eleven to bloat. Purina should be ashamed. Their once good name is being ruined and I, for one, will never buy their products again. I will not jeopardize my dogs’ or seven cats’ lives.

I have 2 cats that are angels now and a third one that is on her way because of your stupid greed. My animals are like my children. I switched my cats to the Purina ONE Hairball Formula and my cats have been vomiting, having bloody stools, not wanting to eat - and it's not just the dry food, it's the wet food as well. I guess everyone should be aware that switching to Purina is like giving your animal a death sentence. Please look into these complaints as I also have a friend who has 3 sick animals because of their food.

I purchased a 6lb. bag of Purina One Beyond Lamb from Wal-Mart five days ago. I have a mini schnauzer and a 5-month old kitten. Our kitten likes to snack on the dog’s food even though he has his own kitten food up on a desk where the mini schnauzer cannot get to! On the third day of feeding this food, we woke up at 6:30 am to our mini schnauzer vomiting and having bloody liquid diarrhea. I am a vet tech and this was happening on a Sunday and our office is closed on Sundays. By 3pm, the kitten and our mini schnauzer were both having the bloody diarrhea and vomiting. I called our vet at home and he had me meet him at the clinic immediately. After several injections, activated charcoal, fluids, oral medications, blood work, physical exam, and fecal exam, our vet diagnosed them with salmonella poisoning.

I changed my dogs' food recently to Purina One, with the misconception that it wasn't a bad brand of food. I couldn't have been more wrong. My dog started having issues with the food the night I gave it to her and I gradually introduced it to her diet. 1st and 2nd night (starting her on Purina One), I noticed her stool seemed very soft and sort of lighter in color. Day 3, I came home from work to a disaster. She had what seemed like uncontrollable diarrhea. Knowing that these things happen and dogs, like humans, will get the runs every so often. My dog also seemed extremely needy, much more than usual. Day 4, explosive diarrhea but there was rather large amount of blood that accompanied the liquid feces and not far away from that, there was a big puddle of mucus and blood. I took pictures of the blood I was wiping from the floor.

One of my friends and I just spent two weeks traveling with our three dogs. We were in a remote area and ran out of our usual dog food, Taste of the Wild, and purchased a bag of Purina One, Lamb and Rice formula. All was well for three days, thankfully the day we returned home. My friend's 18-month-old purebred dog became very ill, and we took her to our vet clinic. A definite diagnosis could not be made, but even the doctors were guarded about her recovery. She was hospitalized for 36 hours in intensive care and quarantine with IV fluids constantly. She has been home for 24 hours and slowly recovering.

I bought a bag of Purina One dog food on November 9, 2012 and served it to my three small dogs. I do not regularly buy Purina One but was out of Blue Buffalo and just needed a quick bag of food to get by until I was able to get to Petco. By the next night, one dog had loose stools throughout the night that continued for three nights and during the day. By the second night, another dog had the same problem. I took my first dog to the veterinarian on the fourth day and he asked me if I had fed him any Purina dog food product. When I said, "Yes," he said that I was his third pet owner this week whose dog had become ill after eating Purina One. We're on a chicken and rice diet until they're better. I will never use this product again.

My cat of 7 yrs who had never even had a hangnail, after 6 weeks on Healthful Life with real salmon and chicken (thought I was doing a good thing), had developed lumps around his neck then started losing his fur in patches left bloody in places he cannot reach - so not self-inflicted. When it started, I did some research on cat ailments and concluded it was food. I changed his food immediately and lumps started to disappear and the first bloody patch of hair loss started healing. It healed over 1 week. The newest patch stopped looking bloody and grew scabs, healing well. 2 weeks later I bought more food and completely missed it was from Purina. After less than a week, his lumps were back and fur falling out again, patches all bloody and painful to the touch.

On the late afternoon of 11/4/2012, I purchased a bag of Purina Healthy Life Living dog food with DHA. My wife and I always buy Pedigree. On the morning of 11/5, we gave them one feeding. On that evening, we noticed they weren't being themselves. The next morning, not good. I decided to return the bag of dog food for an off brand. On my way back home, I got a phone call from my wife. She told me that one of the puppies just died. So, I immediately turned around and returned to the store, madder than hell. I went into the store and asked for the bag of dog food I had just returned. As I was on my way home again, lo and behold, another phone call from my wife again. She told me that another puppy had just died.

I have been feeding my dog Purina One SmartBlend Lamb and Rice for almost 2 years. Last week, I bought a brand new bag and my dog started vomiting within 15 minutes. At first I thought that he had the flu and have been nursing him since. For the first time ever, my dog refused to eat the Purina. After checking this website and seeing all of the similar stories, I have changed his food and he seems fine. I am not pleased at all.

Follow up to my earlier post regarding my Beagle and Little Bites. I contacted Purina. They took the info from the bag and said they would follow up. They offered to send a coupon for a free bag of food. I've changed food and in the two weeks since we've changed, we've had one "spit up" and it was following a car ride.

I have two cats. We usually just buy whichever dry cat food is on sale that day. Both of my cats have been throwing up all over the floor, and one is very lethargic. I realized today that both, this time as well as the last time, had a vomiting episode. We had bought the green bag of Purina Cat Chow Indoor Formula. I don't know what it is about this food, but it's making my cats sick. I am not buying this food anymore.

I have a beagle, about 4 years old (not too sure, she was a rescue). I brought her inside in August due to the extreme heat. She has been an inside dog since so I know more about her daily activities. She has had some skin rashes since being inside, but the biggest thing was spitting up, I call it, and there would be the red kibbles of the Little Bites in it more than 14 hours after she ate. She had very bad breath and almost black poop. I've switched to a grain-free food (a high rating on Dog Food Advisor website). She is acting like she feels much better, poops better and the bad breath issue cleared up. The vet said it was not normal for the red kibbles to be undigested after that length of time.

I fed my 14 lb. dog, a schnauzer/poodle mix, 1/4 can of Purina One Classic Ground Wholesome Turkey & Barley Entree. She was crying and shaking when I came home from work. Now, she's barely moving. No Purina ever again for me.

Purina dry cat chow killed 15 cats - I just lost my fourth, beautiful, young and once healthy cat to Purina. Quick to kidney failure and my bill's total is now $10,000. Another person lost 11 to the same God awful corporate company. It should be put on trial and a class action lawsuit filed. Now they know this and keep selling it. Does anyone know how heartbreaking this is to me and my family?

I purchased a bag of Purina Healthy Weight dog food because my beagle has been looking a little pudgy lately. Exercise was not helping the issue, so I decided I would spend a little more money on "healthy" dog food. As soon as I put it in the bowl, she sniffed it and completely refused to eat. Her behavior was odd because she usually eats immediately, but I didn't think anything of it because she has a tendency to be picky. My Jack Russel Terrier, however, ran up and began eating some of the food himself. Within 15 minutes, he was throwing up everything he ate. He didn't eat anything for the next couple of days. I had initially thought it was just a fluke, but after reading all of these complaints, I am convinced it was the food that made him sick. I am so thankful I threw the bag away when I did and didn't purchase any more of this food.

I followed a Facebook link and read the post written by Stephanie from Fenton, MO. Reading about the progression of sickness of Princess was heartbreaking, along with all of the other beloved pets within the complaints regarding Beneful. We were feeding Purina Pro Plan, a food we began serving our first dog in 1986, when it first came available in Veterinary offices only. It was not a cheap choice. We had tried a couple of other top shelf foods over the years when an issue would arise, but would end up back on a different formula of Pro Plan.

Purina offered me a new settlement in regard to my claim for my cat, Sable. They had initially claimed no responsibility for her illness, but offered to pay half of my vet bill anyway (the bill was $429.00). Now, they are still claiming to have no liability, but will pay the entire vet bill if I sign a waiver relieving them of responsibility for Sable's illness. They refuse to pay an additional $230 so that she can have regular check-ups at Banfield Pet Hospital for the next year. They have given me 30 days to consider their offer.

As a dog owner who has 4 dogs, 3 of which have had the horrible symptoms of a seizure all because I fed them dinner, I am now seeing that it apparently was the dog food I was feeding my pets. I ask that all of you dissatisfied Purina customers send an email with your story to helpme@wpix.com. This is Help Me Howard from the local TV network. I think this is something that needs to be heard more so than on Consumer Affairs. Too many animals are becoming ill and dying for no reason!

Our dog extremely got sick from Purina dog food. Do not buy. Recently, our 2-year-old Boston started trying to avoid eating the chicken and rice flavor we had been feeding him for 6 months. He began sniffing and scraping pieces of food out of the bowl onto the floor, then he would slowly sniff a kibble or two then eat some little by little. This is not how our dog eats. He usually bends over the bowl and chows down! Over the past week, he has been throwing up a lot. Moping around the house and acting very lethargic; not the energetic Boston terrier he was the previous week. It got very scary when he just fell down onto the floor and couldn't keep his eyes open. He even lost 4 pounds.

I rescued a Boston Terrier last year from the North American Boston Terrier Rescue. My guy was extremely healthy and received a thorough vet examination last year walking away with a clean bill of health. The Rescue fed all dogs and pups in their care Purina One and suggested I keep my Boston on the regimen and I did because he seemed to be doing fine with the food. Fast forward when we went for his well-dog exam and he received another glowing review from the vet and another bill of good health, I purchased a brand new bag of Purina One Smartblend Chicken & Rice Dry Dog Food from our local Denver King Soopers.

On June 5, 2012, I bought a new bag of Purina Friskies Indoor Delights for my 5 cats. I opened the bag and fed them some the next morning. Four of the cats ignored the food and went out the window to roam around the front yard. The fifth cat wolfed down a full bowl before going outside to play. About 15 to 20 minutes later, I was on the telephone when she came back inside and jumped onto the kitchen table. She stumbled several steps and appeared to convulse before falling off of the table and voiding her bowels. She was crying and panting very heavily, her eyes were darting back and forth, and she was unable to walk because she couldn't bear weight on her hind legs.

I have lost two dogs since April who have eaten Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend (lamb and rice or chicken and rice). I have fed Pro Plan for 11 years with good results until around December 2011. I have 7 dogs and we have spent nearly every weekend, days off, and have taken days off work so that we can take dogs to the vet where their symptoms were treated. Most of all the complaints are similar to what each of my dogs has had over the year. We've scoured the yard for toxins and have done just about anything we could think of.

I can't buy 50 lbs of food, only 33-lb. bags. Instead of being able to get what I am looking, I have to spend more money just for 13 lb. of dog food. I have 2 mastiffs, one English, the other bull. These dogs eat. I was just wondering why the 50-lb. bags were not distributed anymore. Is it the money or the product?

We use Purina Moist and Meaty dog food as dog treats. Recently, we opened a packet and fed it to our dogs. They both immediately threw it up and became very sick - vomiting, diarrhea, lethargic, depressed. We scoured our yard and home for the culprit and ended up realizing the one thing they had in common was the treats! We've had them in and out of the vet's office all week and our little boy may not make it. Every test has been performed without answer. We are hoping IV fluids, antibiotics and good vet care will heal our little guy. In the meantime, Purina customer service has "never had a complaint, will investigate," blah, blah, blah. I have always used Purina products but now, I will reconsider. Our vet bills are well over $2000 for this week. I do not want to take another chance with our little buddies' lives.

I have attempted to unsubscribe from your email notices each time I have received one (probably three or four times). Unfortunately, each time the result has been the same. After checking the two boxes indicating that I wish to no longer receive these emails, the unsubscribe button changes color to red but does nothing when clicked. Neat trick to keep people from unsubscribing for these notices or maybe just a programming error? I look forward to your response.

I had a Bullmastiff named Mugsie. We got her at age 3, after the owner could no longer care for him due to divorce. The original owner gave us all his paperwork from the breeder he had bought him from, the vet they used and AKC paperwork. He was a very expensive dog, shows quality, both parents had been evaluated for health issues that might be passed on to any pups they had, and a clean bill of health for both parents as well as the litter of pups. We took him to our vet for a regular check up and booster shots, all was perfect. About 2 years after we started feeding him Purina dog food, he got ill. The vet thought he may have been poisoned while out in our fenced yard. Blood work, x-rays, etc., to the tune of $800.00 and they found nothing.

My dogs got really sick on this stuff (Purina One Chicken and Rice). We had used it for a while; no problems. Then, the last 2 bags have been horrible. Our Dobie had runny stool and pooped in the house. He never does that. They were black, tar-like, and smelled horrible. Poor thing… He would ignore his bowl for a meal and then our border collie did the same thing (i.e., head down, low tail, and fever). After reading these reviews, I saw so many things that I recognized as symptoms mine were having. I took them to the vet and they had bacterial infections and the vet gave them Cipro. So for the next few days, they are eating homemade stewed chicken and rice. I took my bags back to Wal-Mart and have no idea what kind of food I am going to be getting. My vet said Science Diet was a good one, but it was 52 dollars a bag for a large bag. It might be cheaper to make our own and Missing Link Plus for the minerals. It is time-consuming, but I might do it if I can. Throw your Purina products away. Someone put it on Facebook! I don’t have fb.

Approximately 3 days after starting Purina Veterinary OM dog food for overweight management, my dog started to drool excessively. Initially, I thought it was some topical treatment for skin irritation, but the more I read about my dog's symptoms, I think it has to do with the dog food. She has been to the vet numerous times to rule out digestive disorders and even had an endoscopy which showed severe small intestine inflammation. She is able to drink, but is not able to eat solid food. She is losing weight, but not in a healthy way. I would like to know what type of microorganisms might be causing these symptoms. What has something to do with the dog food to call such a severe reaction? I don't want to lose my dog. I wish someone would just come forward be honest about the dog food.

Purina SmartBlend Lamb and Rice killed my dog. In 2010, one of my dogs began acting odd. Head down when he walked, refusing to eat, refusing to drink, had to be helped outside, the list goes on. The vet was called and we were told he had a severe liver infection and was having seizures. Meds were given and he seemed to be getting better. Then my other dog started refusing to eat. I thought this is odd. They have been on the Purina lamb and rice for years and loved it. Then I noticed this was a new formula with meaty chunks. I began paying attention to my dogs eating habits. I started having to doctor up the food by putting shredded cheese in it to get them to eat. Koolie, the dog that was having issues, started getting worse again. This time vomiting up the most vile and disgusting things I had ever seen. He could no longer hold his bowels or urine and just laid there.

I fed my dog Purina One Smartblend (beef and rice). "Smartblend" is a line marketed as natural and they give it that organic healthy vibe - they claim it has omega-3 and antioxidants. The second day on the food, my dog was lethargic. No big deal, I've seen him tired before. But that night as I slept with him I noticed his stomach was lurching (I don’t know how to describe what was doing on but there he had what appeared a pain in his stomach - I'd never seen this behavior). On the third day - only day three! - he could barely walk. I have never seen this. I had to drag him outside for a walk and he would just do the head-down shuffle. It seemed to me at the time that he had pain in his legs. I knew there was more to the problem when later that day he would not accept a treat. This I could not believe. Never in his entire 8 years has he turned down a treat. It was obviously the food, because on day four, I took him off this poison and he slowly got well (about 3 days back to normal).

I just purchased my dog on August 7, 2012. He was a happy solid pooping dog. I started feeding him Purina ONE SMARTBLEND (lamb and rice) and he went from solid poop to diarrhea during week one. During week two, he was vomiting and having diarrhea. I took him to the vet and he was on stool hardening meds along with anti-vomiting meds. He is now on boiled chicken breast, rice and cottage cheese. I'll be starting him on a non-recalled company dog food soon. I will keep you posted. He is current on his shots and vaccinations.

For 3+ years I've fed my cat, Baby, with Purina cat food products. I began feeding Baby Fancy Feast per her satisfaction and never experienced any problems. In an effort to take better care of my cat, I stopped giving Baby Fancy Feast and switched to Purina One. I was under the assumption Purina One was a more healthy option due to its natural ingredients and its focus on improving my pet's health. My switch to Purina One was a conscious decision because I trusted the company. Purina brands itself as a company who specializes and cares for the health of animals and since I did not experience any problems prior, I thought it would be smart to stay loyal.

All our 5 cats had diarrhea, vomiting, excessive drinking problem and loss of appetite since we bought a new bag of food (Purina One Sensitive Systems) at PetSmart on July 23, 2012 at 9:30AM in Erie, PA. We don’t have the bag or receipt but used PetSmart Perks Card so the purchase can be tracked.

I'm tired of these huge corporations sticking it to the American people because they can. My wife was filling up the dog feeder and realized that the bag (Purina One Healthy Formula for dogs) she bought was not 18.5 lbs anymore; now it is 16.5 lbs. So they reduced the amount by 2 lbs which is outrageous, and they're not reducing the price, even though you say 2 lbs is not much. But if you take into consideration that 2.5 million bags are sold per year and take that amount they reduced which is 2 pounds and times that by 2.5 million, it comes to 5 million lbs. Then divide that by 16.5 lbs. That is 303030, then multiply that by $19.95. Their profile comes to over $6,045,448.50. Now, times that by 30 different types of dog food they sell. It's $181,363,455.00.

I just took my ill cat to the vet as he was limping, twitching, repeatedly licking himself, excessive drool on and around his mouth, and 2 mouth lesions/ulcers on his tongue. Just suddenly he became sick on Monday night. It dawned on me that it must be the food. I got the Pro Plan food from PetSmart for free as I adopted a young cat from a cat rescue company. So I thought, well just use it up. My young guy is okay, but my 9 year old, not so much. So at the vet's they gave him a steroid and antibiotic shot and took blood work. The blood work came back 100% healthy except the white blood cell count, which is due to the lesions in his mouth, so it makes sense. But I'm sure the food caused this! I immediately switched him back to the amazing dehydrated Honest Kitchen 'Prowl' food that he's been thriving on for over a year. What was I thinking giving him that garbage Purina food, and why is it allowed on shelves?! They owe me $360, as far as I'm concerned.

When I took my dog to the vet for her yearly checkup, they came back to tell me that her feces had roundworms and whipworms in it so I started giving her the medication to fix this problem. Then today when I went to go feed her, I look in her dog food and there was a large amount of worms crawling around. We have been giving this dog food to her for about 7 months now and I feel that this brand of dog food caused her to have the worms. I will definitely be changing her dog food now because there is no way that this is acceptable.

After posting my experience here on June 26, I went to Purina's website and sent them an email about the food I had purchased. I got a reply within three days and they did say they would look into the issue. They had the bag of food info from my initial email and then they asked for the name and the address of where I had purchased the cat food. I, like one other person here, had called the store too where I had purchased the food and the manager told me also, that this happens particularly at this time of the year! Well, I have had pets since I was a small child and I am now 58 and I have never seen anything like this with any cat food I have ever purchased. I also told Purina that.

My cat has been very sick and had a urinary tract infection. I purchased this food and my cat was eating it. She became lethargic and had begun to profusely vomit everywhere. I assumed it was her condition only to pour another bowl of food and flying insects came out of the bag. When I ripped it open, I found thousands of dead skeletal of insects. I heard of flying ones came out, and the worms whitish, looked like maggots mixed in it. I cannot tell you how disgusted and baffled I am. This is unacceptable.

Thanks to Dog Food Adviser, I now realize the difference between bad, adequate and excellent pet foods. I have been feeding Purina One to all my dogs for years, recently switching to Purina One Beyond. I also added Pedigree pouches to enhance the taste for my two current Yorkies, not knowing that it is one of the worst of the worst. I thought I was giving them something good for them, only to find that I have been paying a premium for really sub-standard food. Shortly after switching to Purina Beyond, one of my Yorkies had a severe attack of extreme gastrointestinal distress, extreme bloody diarrhea and vomiting pure blood. The emergency vet told me she was literally expelling the lining of her intestines. She spent two days in the hospital on IV fluids, multiple antibiotics, etc. to the tune of $1100.

My 1-year-and-one-month-old AKC rough haired collie has been eating Purina since he was a pup at the breeder's. I bought this last green bag of Purina dog food in June. I still have it! My dog is barely eating and his stool is loose. I added Alpo Premium Beef Cuts to his dry food, hoping he would start eating again. He did. Now, he has full blown diarrhea! Thankfully, I have a dog who won't poop in the house. I called Purina wanting to know if there has been a recall. I was told no. They haven't heard of any problems, but she would forward my info to quality control. Then, I come across this site and can't help but wonder. Did anyone call and complain or is it just me? I called 1-800-778-7462.

I bought a bag of Purina One SmartBlend Chicken & Rice dry food for my cats. Shortly after opening it, I saw a moth come out. I thought, "Well, that's weird," but I just ignored it. A few days later, I went to scoop out some food and saw cocoons. I started digging through the bag to find dozens of cocoons and even a worm (I'm guessing which was a baby moth). I returned the bag and contacted Purina. I understand that this is more than likely unintentional. But these moths are attracted to grains - corn, wheat, rice, etc. This was an eye opener. Purina food is made of so much grain that moths will manage to get inside this sealed bag for it. I've switched my cats to Blue Buffalo Wilderness, a grain free food. Not only do they eat much less food because it is so nutrient dense, but they have shimmer and softer coats and healthier bodies.

I am here to try and get answers as to why my cat got sick, and after reading what "Loretta from OK" posted (and many others whose pet got sick), I believe I have found the answer. I had my cat on Purina One Sensitive Systems for about 6 months now after switching from "Nutro Max Cat Senior" to "save a few buck". Now, I realize what a horrible mistake I made. I purchased the 7 lb. bag at my local Walmart. Within 1-2 days of feeding from the new bag, she began vomiting profusely. It looked as if she ate/vomited, ate/vomited throughout the day while I was at work.

The third bag of Purina cat food was infested with maggots. Not only are the prices completely overpriced, but it's supposed to be healthy for our animals. I don't think maggots are healthy for anyone. I will never buy this product again. It's absolutely disgusting and something should be done about this. Oh, and on top of that, when I called the pet store to complain, after them telling me the two times before it was a bad batch, they had the nerve to say, "this happens a lot". So when I bring the cat food back to the pet store today, and they take the bag, and most likely resell it or use it for their animals, they're going to tell me the same thing. They fooled me 3 too many times.

Purina Dog Chow - I bought a bag of dog food yesterday morning at Safeway and both my dogs were at the emergency vet. They got food poison! They were vomiting and would not get up. I have used this for all my dogs, very disappointed!

I recently purchased a bag of Purina Pro-Plan Adult 7+ Chicken & Rice Formula Shredded Blend 2082 1082 1642 L06-99. I noticed the color was darker but figured Purina changed something. My 10 lb. Yorkie ended up in an animal hospital for a week and we almost lost her and have almost a $1,300.00 vet bill. She had nonstop and uncontrollable diarrhea, which caused quick dehydration. Diagnosis was severe bacterial infection. I and my vet feel this was caused by bad dog food. After reading everyone’s review here, there has to be a link between all these foods. I called Purina and of course they've heard of nothing but did send me free coupons for more food. Well, I will never feed my dog or any other pet Purina products again. I think they should be taking some responsibility for this issue.

I bought a 16-lb. bag of Purina Cat Chow Complete (bar code number 1780013415) and it's old/moldy. I bought it at Walmart in Grants Pass, OR in June 2012. When I opened it, I noticed it's a lighter color than usual. My cats would rather starve than eat any of it. I want Purina to mail me another redeem coupon for another bag, please. I understand that sometimes products sit for too long or get damp or inedible for whatever reason.

Tonight, I started to feed my three cats their evening meal and when I opened the plastic tightly sealed container where I store their food, which was the Sensitive System formula, much to my horror, I saw small worms crawling all throughout the food just like another consumer has reported that he found in his puppy's food yesterday. I looked inside the bag the food was sold in as there was still some left in it. It, too, was filled with worms. I have had this particular bag of food for about a week now. The number from the bag is 13191083 0622L05 with an expiration date of May 2013. The barcode was 01780003198. I have been feeding my cats this food for at least over a year now and I know those worms did not come from my home.

Your company’s greed has gotten in the way of you providing safe food and treats for our loved ones. I rushed my baby girl to the vet to have a liver/kidney panel ran to make sure all is well. It was $77 I didn't have to spend, but it was worth the piece of mind knowing all is fine. But it’s not so for a family friend. She lost her furbaby 3 weeks ago. I want you to know that I, my entire family, all of my friends and the hundreds of online friends that I have, have stopped buying anything under the Nestle/Purina umbrella. And everyone I see buying food or treats from your company will get a, "Hi, how are you? Let me tell you something about the product in your hand and the company that makes it. It all comes down to your greed. Well, I will no longer be helping you live high on the hog.

Last month we purchased the large bag of the Purina ONE SMARTBLEND Healthy Puppy Formula. Upon opening the bag, I noticed a moth or two. I thought nothing of it. I poured the food into our tightly sealed dog food container. Two days later, I had my daughter fill the dog bowl up and she freaked out. There were moths and maggoty-type worms all throughout the dog food, which I am hoping would explain the runny poop over those few days of the initial scoops. My dogs are 5 pounds and 10 pounds. They love this food. But I love my dogs and will not feed them this product again. I still have the container of food in my garage as I am unsure what to do with it. I opened it for the first time this week and almost threw up - it was covered in worms and cocoons. I’m thinking the whole thing is going in the trash. I’m contacting my vet on Monday.

We purchased a 44-lb bag of Purina dog food on Sunday, 6/17. We have always fed our dog the same food, and he does not get human food. After feeding him on Sunday, he almost instantly began vomiting and wouldn't eat nor drink for about 2-3 days. So on Thursday, I began searching the internet; and I found all these complaints describing exactly the same thing as what happened to my pet. I called Purina, and they told me there had been no complaints regarding the food and just offered to send me coupon towards another bag of food?! They did say that the ingredients had changed in the last month. Has anyone else called them?

We recently switched from Kibbles and Bits to Purina Little Bites. We had been feeding our Terrier K&B for 5 years and recently switched to your Little Bites. After a few short weeks (3), she started becoming less and less playful and became lethargic and her stool changed colors and became softer and eventually runny. I have to wonder if the lot of this brand isn't/wasn't tainted. Our baby passed on 6-20-12 and I really believe it had something to do with your product being bad. I'm not saying all Purina products are bad, but I truly feel and want to find out if her food had something wrong with it. I really wanted this to read better but the fact that I am dealing with the passing of my best friend, this is it for now.

My 9-year-old golden retriever has been eating Purina Fit and Trim for approximately 3 years. About a month ago, after I bought a fresh 20 pound bag and started feeding it to him, he became very finicky about his food and didn't want to eat. We are still fighting this battle a month later. I've tried other food, but it has been a struggle to get him to eat. He has been to the vet on 3 separate occasions, and has been on 2 different antibiotics for a bacterial infection in his GI tract. He's still not better and has lost at least ten pounds. We are convinced that this infection came from his food, and I'm afraid we may lose him, because his appetite is still very poor. Maybe there should be a recall?

I just read the comments and I realize that the food is what is making them ill. They have loose stool, are lethargic and throwing up. I feed them Purina Pro Plan for small breed, puppy food. I'm so angry as my little shih tzu were fine right before I started the new bag.

I recently purchased a brand of Purina dog food for my pit-bull. We started feeding it to her last week. She is now running a fever, vomiting and has runny bowel movements. I don’t have the bag as my husband threw it away after he dumped the contents into our dog food holder. I have great concern after reading all these horrible stories. I did purchase my dog food at a Walmart location and it was the Purina dog food in the big yellow bag that had a price of $24.99. I’m almost sure. This should be a cause for concern. I will be contacting Purina on Monday!

We have fed our dog Purina ONE all of his life. I bought a 44-lb. bag of Purina ONE Smart Blend Lamb & Rice for Adults at Costco on 6/5/12 (item 17800-01529; best by November 2013; lot # 2135 1087 2117L12). We started feeding it to him this past Tuesday, 6/12/12. Since then he has had diarrhea and vomiting for the past 4 days (it started Tuesday night). He had nothing else to eat but the Purina (no treats, no human food). I'm afraid this is a tainted lot. I kept thinking it must have been something else, but as it has continued and he has had nothing but dog food, it must be the dog food. He has never been sick for so long.

I've been feeding my 4-year-old doberman Purina One since I adopted him almost 2 years ago and have never had a problem. Since opening a new bag, he has been sick. Stinky breath, lethargic, smelly bowels, flatulent and throwing up! This is atrocious! Buying dog food is a stretch right now and I am damn sure I cannot afford a huge vet bill. Purina needs to take responsibility for all of these animals that seem to have one thing in common - Purina Pet Food! I am furious. I intend to pull the bag out of the garbage for the bar code and contact Purina tomorrow morning. Right now I have another pile of dog vomit to clean up! Today's date: 16 June 2012.

My 10 year-old Rotty, who is in perfect shape for her age, for the last week has been throwing up after eating Purina One Smart Blend Chicken & Rice Adult Food (she has been on the Purina One food since about 2 years old). The food is coming up in the same shape as before eaten but wet along with tons of water and grass from her eating it. She is constantly thirsty and is hungry but will not eat her food. She has begun limping on her front left leg and has become less active and lethargic.

Prior to May, I purchased the Fancy Feast Classic Seafood combination cases. Last month (May), I purchased the case with only Ocean Whitefish and Tuna. Several days after giving it to my cats, they both developed very bad smelling diarrhea. It didn't occur to me at that time it could be the food since they had that flavor before. However, when it continued for another week, I took them to the vet. She tested both for parasites and it came back negative. In the meantime, I took them off the Fancy Feast and the diarrhea cleared up immediately. The vet agreed it was probably something with the food. I gave it to them one more time to see what would happen, and the diarrhea came back again, so they are off Fancy Feast forever. They have, luckily, recovered.

On May 28th, I posted about my two cats made very sick after eating Purina One Cat Food - the new 3 oz. cans of Ocean Fish and Flaked Tuna. Vet said neurological damage from toxins, no cure, just support them and hope. Ten days later, they are somewhat better, can at least stand up for more than 2 seconds. However, I have absolutely no luck in finding any testing site for the cat food. I saved the cans from the same lot number of course - turns out Nestle Purina pays lots of testing labs much money for research and consequently the labs will not offer testing of its products (Also why few labs will test human food - too much money from the corporations to bother with a few of us humans or pets.). I have no idea yet whether the cats will recover fully, or remain with damage. I have no idea what it was that poisoned them. I am making my own wet cat food now, and feeding other dry food, not Purina products anymore!

Wow, I can't believe someone just posted exactly what happened to my dog after we started using Purina Little Bites. He was lethargic, had severe vomiting and diarrhea and lost use of his hind legs. We took him to the vet and the only thing they could find was an enlarged spleen and a lot of trapped gas. This happened just last week. We thought we were going to lose him.

My 5 and 1/2 year old Boston Terrier is lethargic, drooling, staggering, and seems to lose control of hind legs. This seems to coincide with purchase of Purina Little Bites, bar code 17800-11037. I found this blog this morning and have stopped feeding him the Purina. Does anyone have any further info please?

I wanted to give readers here an update in regards to my cat being poisoned by tainted Grilled Fancy Feast Tuna on April 8th. After a lot of phone calls, emails, vet reports and time, Purina (Canada) has offered me $150 towards my $300+ vet bill as a "goodwill gesture". They said this was not an admission of responsibility on their behalf, so I won the battle but not the war so to speak! The insurance rep called today to tell me the check has been mailed out. I am very relieved to be receiving anything! As for Nylablue, she has finally made a full recovery and the past 2 weeks she has been eating, playing and doing all things 'cat'!

I fed Purina One Cat Food, Flaked Tuna and Ocean Whitefish to 2 young cats, approximately 9 months old, male and female, littermates, both neutered and healthy to now. I fed this food on Thursday, 5-24 and Friday, 5-25 at evening food. By Saturday, 5-26, both cats were showing signs of spine problems in rear ends - wobbling, unable to jump, unable to walk straight. He is in worse shape than the female. He ate the Ocean Whitefish, she ate the Flaked Tuna. No vomiting, no diarrhea that I see. I will take them to vet on Tuesday morning. Be on the lookout for this problem.

My cat got sick after eating this food. She did like it when I gave it to her, but she kept throwing up. It’s a waste of money.

I've been feeding my 7 year old Lab Purina foods for years. I just purchased a large bag of Purina One Smart Blend with a barcode of 17800-12958, which I believe was the cause of her sickness. Within 24 hours after eating, she couldn't keep anything down for 36+ hours. She also drank excessive amounts of water. I started her on a boiled white meat chicken and rice diet and she has improved and is more like her old self. I'm thinking no more Purina for my dog.

Not sure what to believe here. Our dogs eat Purina, two Shepherds have for years. This is the first trouble we have had. Dogs drinking much water, diarrhea and vomiting. We pulled the food. We are contacting Purina, the Bar Code reads 17800-12936 and the bag stamped LN1109K5 03-17-12 06:16PM

I have been feeding my 7-year-old Miniature Schnauzer Purina Pro Plan. On Thursday, my sweet boy started vomiting on my couch. I didn't feed him his dinner that evening and by morning, he seemed to be doing better. Again, I fed him his Pro Plan and again he started vomiting and subsequently developed severe diarrhea. He vomited through the night and this morning he has bloody diarrhea. He was extremely lethargic and was not responding to us. He wouldn't come out from under our deck until we pulled him out. Hours later, I made some chicken with rice and he only ate a few bites and just laid down and curled into a little ball. He wouldn't even look at us when we called his name or lift his ears. He was so sick!

We have been feeding our dogs Purina One Lamb and Rice for a long time now. I switched last time and bought the Purina Healthy Morsels and recently our 1-year old Lab pup has lost weight and became pretty much lethargic. I took him to the vet and they said after running lab work that his liver tests were all elevated. They put him on a broad spectrum antibiotic, anti-nausea meds and sent us to a specialist. We then, a couple of days later, took him to a specialist to find out that he has thickening of the large intestines and liver counts are up.

Purina Pro Plan Chicken and Rice dog food - There is something wrong with the last bag of food that I purchased. My dogs have had severe diarrhea and some vomiting. I thought it may have been something they got into. I took them to the vet and they were put on strong antibiotics and a bland diet (boiled chicken and rice). Then, I slowly incorporated their food and they still have diarrhea. The vet explained it's most likely their food as they have never had a problem before. Everyone, please contact Purina directly to report the problem. Purina phone number 1-800-778-7462.

I had 2 sphinx kittens that I had raised on the bottle. They were still nursing and I decided to buy 2 cans of the Purina One Smart Blend Chicken Recipe. The kittens loved it! That evening, they had vomited the food up. The very next morning, both had passed away. I was very attached to the two girls especially since I had raised them since they were 3 weeks old.

Our German Shepherd, Zelda, age 5 years old, female has eaten Little Bites & Purina dog chow since she was a puppy. Well, last 2 months, she has completely stopped eating both. She backs away from her food bowl. At first, she became sick. She threw up. Now, I cannot get her to eat any Purina products. She eats only canned food now, human food & I cook her chicken, brown rice, etc. No, she isn't spoiled. I know that one would think so, but I am 100% convinced that something has changed in Purina. I even tried covering the Little Bites with canned food, beef juices, etc. She would walk away. I called Purina. They sent me a check for $15 but no Purina will my dog eat. Oh, the lady at Purina did say something about them changing the formula? Anyway, now I am scared to feed any dog any dry food, Purina or otherwise. I am now making my own dog food of liver, brown rice, chicken & veggies. The dog loves green beans. After Zelda became sick & started hating Purina, I had to hand feed her to start her eating again. It's as if she was scared to eat. The vet said she is fine, no teeth problems, etc. I don't know what's going on with pet foods but now she eats only what I make or Pedigree canned food or Science Diet cans.

I purchased bag of Purina Pro Plan Mature/Adult bag of food for our yellow lab. She just turned 9 years old. After a few feedings out of that bag, she became lethargic and vomiting. This lasted for 24 hours. I took her food and water away for 24 hours. She seemed to be better. When I put her food back down to eat she wouldn't have anything to do with it. She sniffed and walked away from the food. I purchased Pro Plan can food thinking she had an upset tummy and it would be easier for her to digest. I opened a can, put in her bowl and she wouldn't go near the food. I made an appointment with our vet. He tested her blood and her liver enzymes were too high. She received a prescription for 30 days for her liver and is now eating Hill’s Prescription I/D for liver.

I have been feeding my Boxer Purina One (Chicken and Rice smart blend) dog food for the past 11 years. In the last week (on the very day I opened a new bag of food), he became ill. He was throwing up and was constantly thirsty. My dog will not go near his dog food now. He is usually a pig and gobbles the whole bowl of food down and now won't go anywhere near his bowl. All he wants is water and about an hour after drinking it, he vomits a smelly yellow bile. He is also urinating a lot more than normal. He is very lethargic and just not acting like himself. This is day number 4 he won't eat, so now I'm trying anything. I just made him 4 scrambled eggs and so far so good he has kept it down for the last 3 hours. I'm wondering if this was a bad batch of dog food? I can't find any recall information. After reading these posts, I will never buy Purina products again. This is terrible!

Lately, I have noticed that my dog gets these horrible bouts of explosive diarrhea after eating Purina dog food. He has been on the same food for years and now all of a sudden he explodes every time he eats this food. I took him off of it for a few days and he was fine. I gave it to him two nights ago and bingo - he exploded all over the floor again next day. After reading some of these complaints, I am wondering if there is something wrong with the food.

Approximately one month ago, we bought our dog food from the Walmart in Washington, Pennsylvania. We usually alternate between Purina Pro Plan Chicken & Rice and Lamb & Rice, as our 16 month basset mix, Ace, has taken a liking to both flavors. This time around was the lamb and rice we had purchased. That evening, when we fed him his supper, he did not eat nor did he eat it for breakfast or at all throughout the day. It was not until about 9PM that night that he touched his food at all. The next day, he was lethargic and slept all day. He seemed himself almost entirely, except for his extra exhaustion. He was fine throughout the week, but continued to avoid eating his food until he was very hungry.

I had been buying Purina One Healthy Puppy formula for my pup, Larry. He was doing very well on it and I was satisfied with how he was doing. One of my primary drivers for buying this food was the fact that lamb was the primary ingredient and based on my previous experience, lamb was much better on dog's stomachs than most other foods. I just bought another bag recently and began feeding it to Larry and a couple of days later, I noticed his appetite had dwindled. I was concerned, but monitored him. He was still eating, but not as much. Then unexpectedly one night, he had diarrhea all over the bed. I took him outside and he proceeded to vomit and not move much for a half hour. I brought him back in the house and yet more vomiting.

Our dog, Gizmo, a normally very perky Australian Shepherd, is dying of kidney/renal failure. About a month ago, he started frequently urinating, drinking a lot of water, and became a little lethargic. He did not want to eat his dog food. This was the opposite of the normal Gizmo. We consulted a vet who said, "Give him a few days, he will snap out of it." Then, Gizmo stopped eating all together and started dropping weight dramatically in the past few weeks. We took him to a different vet who stated that he may have lymes disease and did a bunch of expensive tests. The testing came back as kidney failure, but they could not confirm the lymes disease, but due to the symptoms, she started IV's, antibiotics, and kept him for three days trying to restart his kidneys.

Purina One Dog Food: I have had the same thing happen that others here have complained about. My Cocker Spaniel started drinking unbelievable amounts of water and urinating a lot more than usual. Then came the explosive bloody diarrhea and acting lethargic. I took the dog to the vet and his blood work was horrible. His platelet count was 12! Started him on predisone, antibiotics, and 2 other meds. He stopped eating and drinking. I started offering him scrambled eggs and little by little he started feeling better after a few days, still having diarrhea and acting somewhat lethargic, especially like others reported, having difficulty walking.

I have had several bags of dog food from Purina One that have a white fluffy substance in them with a worm underneath it (attached to the dog food pieces). I returned them all, but this has been happening over several months. Two of my dogs have died in the last 6 months, in December 2011 and February 2012. I'm not saying that the dog food worms caused their deaths, but it is a possibility. They were old, but I can't help but think they might have lived longer had it not been for the tainted dog food. Petsmart informs me that they've notified Purina many many times. Why is this allowed to continue?

I normally feed my 10 year old tabby with Iams. But I snagged a sale on Purina One Smart Blend (exp 5/13). She is sick now so I am searching the internet for recall info. She is lethargic, vomiting and meowing mournfully. I am wondering if it is the food.

I have a 4-year-old otherwise-healthy Rottweiler. We've had him on Purina One Smart Blend Lamb and Rice, since they switched their formulation. He has had random diarrhea events, but I never thought anything of it. Since the beginning of March, he started having explosive diarrhea with no apparent cause. I have taken him 3 times to the vet to get him checked out. They first changed his diet to boiled ground beef, rice and cottage cheese; and he seemed to do much better.

I recently acquired a rescue Great Dane. She is by far the largest of my six dogs, so I went to the store to get her some large breed food and decided on Purina. For several days, I mixed it with the food I received from the shelter and noticed she had diarrhea. I took in a stool sample, and it was clean. The vet said perhaps it was the stress of a new environment. She is thin, and the vet said she needed to gain some weight, so I should gradually increase her intake as well.

We started a new bag of Pro Plan large breed puppy chicken and rice dog food for our 5month old on Thursday and he has been so sick. Shortly after starting the new bag of food, he was having violent diarrhea. We took him to the vet on Friday and got some medicine to help slow down the diarrhea and when we started introducing the food back to his diet, he threw it up soon after he ate it and had more diarrhea. We have since been feeding him homemade food suggested by the vet to get through the weekend and we fed him our full grown lab dog food, chicken and rice food this morning and he did not throw it back up. I think there is something wrong with the Pro Plan food. We purchased the food in the big bag at the Petsmart on Winchester Ave. in Memphis last week. We have another bag of food that we will take back to the retailer today.

I ran out of cat food the other night and of course, the pet stores were closed. I ran into Sobeys 24-hour and picked up a bag of Purina Cat Chow Weight Management. Within a few hours, 2 of our 3 cats were vomiting. I found it odd that they were healthy a few hours earlier. The next morning, I went to the store to get one of our regular foods (Iams) and replaced it for the Purina. One of the two cats seems better, but the 8-month old is still vomiting and having trouble breathing. Now I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to take her to the vet. I am hoping she sleeps it off and is fine, but I am shocked by all the similar stories posted here.

First time buying Purina Cat Chow Weight Management. The cats all started frothing, foaming and gagging. My kitten is so sick and has been for days. We switched back to normal food the day after, but she's still heaving and her breathing is off. I'm worried about her health and she is going to the vet tomorrow.

On Sunday, April 8th, I fed my beloved 10-year old Siamese/Birman cat Fancy Feast Grilled Tuna. I usually smell the can's contents but was in a hurry and did not check the contents. My cat ate her 3 pm meal and all seemed all right. I went out and came home. All was well until 10 pm when suddenly Nylablue sat bolt upright and started 'slurping' then she projectile vomited on the living room rug. It was the tuna I had fed her at 3pm undigested! It smelled like feces and was a yellowish/tan color. After three sessions of vomiting, she ran to the litterbox and had explosive diarrhea that was the same color and smelled like the vomit. The diarrhea went on until 12:30 am and we fell asleep around 2 am. I rushed Nylablue to Vet on Monday and my Vet did a thorough check and said it was food poisoning! My girl had Sub Q fluids and a Cerenia injection, total of $94.

I purchased Beyond One Cat Food from a jewel store which I shop at often. When I got home, there was a $2 coupon inside the bag that was expired. I was so embarrassed when I tried to use it on my next visit to the store to find out that it was expired! I am not one to complain, but I spend the extra dollar on my pets' food to get top quality! I also have a dog, along with my 2 cats. So I actually put my pets' health into Purina's hands! I am letting my friends and family know of my disappointment with your company and its product! Pay attention to your consumers and their pets!

I have bought my three cats Purina dog food for years and have never had a problem until yesterday. I fed my cats the Deli Cat Purina dry food and 5 hours later, one cat was foaming at the mouth, my other two cats were on their side having multiple seizures. I took one cat to the clinic and the vet told me that the cat's condition was similar to insecticide poison. I would be more inclined to believe the insecticide if it wasn't for my indoor cat Bernie. Bernie has not had any contact with the other two outdoor cats and has never gone outside ever. They all ate the same food at the same time though and they all had the same symptoms at the same time.

I gave my precious Chihuahua mix (10 lbs) her first Purina Busy Bone (mini size) and after she consumed it, she began to heave and vomit for most of the night. I took her to the vet in the morning where she died during their attempts to save her.

I bought Kibble 'n Bits, net wt. 3.6 lbs, grilled chicken flavor. Before I complained to the company, they ask for many scoops of the product to analyze. The response was nothing was wrong. They sent a $1.50 value coupon and also a note attached rudely that they are not going to send me another coupon any long. I did try again and my pet still develops diarrhea and loss appetite for consuming this product. Anyway, I am not going to buy this product again.

Purina One for cats Indoor (Hairball & reg.) Weight Mgmt: After reading complaints at this product, it makes me wonder whether this is the root of my 15 year old DSH cat's undiagnosed condition by multiple vets for the past few years now! He had been on those crunchies for most of his life along with canned Friskies, 9Lives and Fancy Feast. But a few years ago, he drastically went from being nearly obese to malnourished-looking dropping 5lbs+. Fast! Also, he vomited bile along with the crunchies daily, had an insatiable appetite and howled to no end throughout the day, along with drinking a lot of water. Multiple tests and vets later, the latest diagnosis has been undetermined as well, but now with a regimen of him taking 1/4 tab of Prednisolone every other day to daily and a 1/4 tab of human Pepcid AC.

My cat was violent after eating Purina One Smart Blend Salmon & Tuna Flavor. This first occurred a couple of months ago. My cat Jasper was vomiting constantly for a 72-hr period. I took him to the vet after 1.5 day. He is 18, and I thought his kidneys were failing, etc. I spend about $400 (which I don't have) running tests. The vet gave me an antibiotic, which I started immediately. I also switched his food, as Purina is not his normal food. I typically buy him Blue, but I can't get it everywhere. So I had bought Purina in the interim. Feeling bad he was sick, I made it a point to get the food he likes, a toy, and snacks.

I have been using Purina One cat food for years. I just recently changed to Purina One urinary tract health formula. On the second bag on food, my cat started throwing up food just after eating, not keeping anything down. Eight hours after eating, I decided to check her mouth, thinking that maybe there was an issue with her teeth. I found her back teeth covered in this food eight hours later! My thoughts were, "What is this doing to her system?" I called my vet and had all tests done, and found out that she has Pancreatitis. I was told about these issues with Purina food from a friend today. Her son has issues with his dog and she mentioned issues with Purina food. I am blown away and very upset with the stories I am hearing/reading on this and how it is so similar to my cat. I am so glad that she brought this to my attention. There needs to be something done about this!

Every time I feed my cat Purina, he is ill. He has fits that are like epileptic fits. I took him off it and he was better. Then when my usual cat food was unavailable, I bought more Purina to see if it was in fact true. And like clockwork, he has just had two fits in one night! I am beyond furious! There are so many complaints online about Purina making their animals sick! I am not gonna keep quiet about this.

My cat has been throwing up on and off for the last few days. I thought it was hairballs, and gave him cat lax. Today, he threw up liquid, and has not been interested in eating. I have another cat who seems healthy, but is reluctant to eat the cat food as well. Both cats are seniors, and typically very healthy. I have never seen them reluctant to eat. I have been feeding them Purina Cat Chow indoor formula, which I bought from Walmart.
