Here are a few recent complaints. I can't update every day...makes me sick to my stomach.
Bolding and added smilies are mine.
I am just a litttttttle stunned that some of these people still WANT to feed Purina products. They knew enough to find the website with all the complaints. They were ticked enough to post their complaint. Did they not read ANY of the other complaints posted?? We aren't talking a complaint here and there or a minor sickness....MASSIVE complaints and DEAD pets.

We just lost Liza. She was well one day, sick the next, and dead that night. I thought maybe it was a wolf spider, but I looked that spider up. It doesn't kill cats, dogs, or people. My other cats, all of whom have been on Purina all their lives, were turning their noses up at all the food. Then, someone told me about the problems with Purina. Did I poison my cat by feeding her this food? Tomorrow, I am switching cat food brands until Purina can guarantee that their food is free of harmful effects.

Purina One recently changed formulas to Smart Blend. After the first few days of Smart Blend, my dogs became extreme ill, vomiting and diarrhea that would not stop. I didn't think it was the food. Purina never gave us any problems in the past. Vet said that liver enzymes suggested poisoning of some sort. As a precaution, I put the dogs back on the old formula. After a few days, they got better. When we could no longer find the original formula, we tried Smart Blend again, thinking it probably wasn't the food. Within days, they were vomiting and had uncontrollable diarrhea again! We finally found a store with three bags of the original version, which we'll use to transition to another brand. After reading these posts, I feel lucky that my dogs are still alive! Something has to be done! The Smart Blend formula is obviously toxic and deadly. Please do not feed Purina One Smart Blend to your dogs!

My 13 year old cat started vomiting and became very ill after eating Purina One Beyond cat food for a couple of days. We have spent a large amount of money at the vet to try to help him recover. I found the food I had purchased a week before was infested with worms and moths which did not come from my home! My cat's test results have not shown any problem that would cause this. I ordered a D3 test because I am wondering if the food also contained toxic levels of Vitamin D in addition to the worms and moths!

My mini Schnauzer, Jake Man, passed away on Tuesday, after displaying very similar symptoms as described by many here. We changed Jake's food approximately one month ago. The last bag we purchased, and will ever purchase, was about two weeks ago. There was a small change in his behavior, which was barely noticeable at first. He became less playful, and seemed to always want more water than normal. On Monday, he drank 6 bowls of water (unusual for him). After eating, he vomited. I was concerned, but at that time, he was still fairly normal acting. The next morning, at around 6:30, I found him still. He did not respond to my voice. Finally, after several attempts, I was able to get him to wake up. He tried to get up and walk, but his legs wobbled out from underneath him.
After several attempts to walk, he rolled to me using his head and neck muscles to do so. We immediately took him to the vet, where they diagnosed that he was severely dehydrated. They tested his kidneys, and ran several panels of blood work. The results were that he had three high levels in the kidneys that were toxic. He remained in the hospital on an IV, because he was so dehydrated. At 5:15 PM, he had his first seizure, and then his second at around 6:45 PM. Sadly, he passed away at 7:00 PM. I cannot say for sure that this was caused by the dog food, but there are several very similar stories with similar symptoms, with one common factor, being that each of these animals was eating Purina food.
Purina needs to recall their products, and figure out if the product is affecting our pets. Nothing I do can ever bring back my family friend, and pet, but these pets are family members. Jake belonged to my six year old son, who adored him. The entire family loved him. Jake was only 3 and 1/2 years old, and should never have to suffer this type of death. The label is Purina Alpo Come and Get it (new and improved grill-icious) 16 lb bag (code 50000-58090).
