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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Come to fine out, purina makes ol roy dog food for wal-mart. I sent a sample of food to the company and they checked it...which consisted of smelling and feeling the texture of the food. Of course it passed their test. I was told they did not have the facility to chemically analize the food. PURINA of all dog food companies should have a way of chemically testing the food. I have since found out in my research that purina has indeed had many recalls over the years due to toxins in the product. I think I need to be compensated for the loss of a beloved family pet!
