Most pet owners do everything in their power to ensure their pet is eating the right kind of food. They do their research, read on the website and go by the opinions of other pet owners. Trust has to come from somewhere, and for many they take a leap of faith and believe they're feeding their pet great food.
Well, what would you do if you discovered that the food that you'd been feeding your dog could potentially kill your pet? Even though owners have claimed for a while that Purina dog food has been making their pets sick and ultimately die a horrific death, only recently have the real findings leaked and it's shocking. It turns out that this dog food has toxins in it and has been making doggies deathly ill. It's more than heartbreaking.
There's more too. It turns out that not only is the President of Purina standing behind the brand, but they're denying that their food has unhealthy ingredients.
Are you intrigued? We are! Head on over to the next page to learn more about these allegations.

No thank you!
I got a new puppy who is now a year old
He kept getting lethargic rumbling tummy throwing up..and I thought the last time he got so sick he would die..took him to the vet took him off beneful incredibites and started feeding him organic pet food and food I could recognize the ingredients and have not had one problem ..he’s happy full of life and not been sick once
Your food with toxic chemicals nearly killed my dog..so maybe you would like to compensate me for my dogs suffering !
Here’s the lethal garbage in your food !!!!!
The first ingredient this dog food is corn. Corn is an inexpensive cereal grain. And aside from its energy content, this grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
not consider a preferred component in any dog food.
The second ingredient is chicken by-product meal, a dry rendered product of
slaughterhouse waste
It’s made from what’s
left of a slaughtered chicken after all the prime cuts have been removed.
In addition to organs (the nourishing part)
, this stuff can contain almost anything — feet,
beaks,
undeveloped eggs — anything
except feathers.
The third ingredient is corn gluten meal. Gluten is the rubbery residue remaining once corn has had most of its starchy carbohydrate washed out of it
The fourth ingredient is wheat flour, a highly-refined product of wheat milling. Like corn, wheat is an inexpensive cereal grain of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The fifth ingredient is animal fat. Animal fat is a generic by-product of rendering, the same high-temperature process used to make meat meals.
Since there’s no mention of a specific animal, this item could come from almost anywhere: roadkill, spoiled supermarket meat, dead, diseased or dying cattle
EVEN EUTHANIZED PETS !!!!
The sixth ingredient is beef…raw beef contains about 80% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.
After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished
product.
The seventh ingredient is rice flour. Rice flour is made from either white or brown rice and is considered a gluten-free substitute for wheat flour.
The eighth ingredient is soy flour, a high-protein by-product of soybean processing.
Although soy flour contains about 51% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.
And less costly plant-based products like
this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food.
The ninth ingredient is meat and bone meal, a dry
rendered product from mammal tissues, including bone, exclusive of any added blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents”.1
Meat and bone meal can have a lower digestibility than most other meat meals.
Scientists believe this decreased absorption may be due to the ingredient’s higher ash and lower essential amino acid content
What’s worse, this particular item is
ANONYMOUS
Since there’s no mention of a specific animal,
this ingredient could come from
almost anywhere:
spoiled supermarket meat,
roadkill,
dead, diseased or dying livestock
even euthanized farm animals.
this product contains
propylene glycol.
Propylene glycol
has been banned
by the FDA for use in making cat food.
Sugar
always an unwelcome addition to any dog food. Because of its high glycemic index, it can unfavorably impact the blood glucose level of any animal soon after it is eaten.
this food contains animal digest
Animal digest is a chemically hydrolyzed mixture of animal by-products that is typically sprayed onto the surface of a dry kibble to improve its taste.
artificial coloringThat’s because coloring is used to make the product more appealing to humans — not your dog.
do you really think your dog cares what color his kibble is?
garlic
garlic has been linked to Heinz body anemia in dogs
damage to the red blood cells of the animal.
no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion.
the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated.
And that can make them more difficult to absorb.
Non-chelated minerals are usually associated with….
lower quality dog foods.
this food contains menadione,
a form of vitamin K
linked to liver toxicity
allergies and the abnormal break-down of red blood cells.
