Thanks, I've heard the woman speaking and I am holistic, which I myself am and stand by. I do have a doctor but I don't always listen and I go the holistic route and make life style changes because I do think food is medicine. I do have two pets, cats. I had recently bought a bag of Purina One and I keep looking at it like should I or shouldn't I feed it to my girls. I've decided to give it a go after hearing you. I think its good to hear both sides and in this case I'm sticking with Purina. Thanks for taking the time. Lastly, I get what you're saying about You Tube. The good the bad. I recently had to choose sides when a group of You Tube content providers started acting like gangs, going after each other. Well, like choosing who to vote for, no one's going to be perfect but I'm going to choose someone. I think we're living in very uncertain times and it's worth paying attention, it keeps people on their toes and we've got a lot of slackers who need to pick it up because doing nothing and sticking your head in the ground is not good. I'm protecting what I believe in. While I'm sticking with Purina, I'm not a big fan of some corporations, or at least the people who own large corporations. Many have proven themselves to be eerily unconscionable or oddly stupid, maybe both. I believe in science, real science, not because I say so science. We need studies and recalls should not go away.

I quit eating processed foods 2 years ago. I make my own. If I recognized (a bit too late actually) how bad processed foods are for humans, why would I feed processed foods to my dog? I feed my Dachshund almost what I eat. Baked chicken and whole grain rice with carrots and peas. I know he is a small dog, but it doesn't really cost me much at all. No more yeast infections of the ears, his coat is shiny and he is happy and healthy.

Thanks for addressing this issue, I appreciate it! Great to hear your honest opinion on this subject. Hope this whole situation gets figured out quickly, especially for the people feeding Purina to their pets.

This is interesting. I wasn't sure what direction you were going to take it. I am just now hearing of all this. However, my dog passed on Dec 24th, she started having seizures on Oct 21st. The ONLY thing that changed. Was switching her food to Purina. I talked to my vet about it and they said it was more likely a brain tumor and they never had me look at the food. I told them I switched, my gut told me it was food. I was told otherwise by multiple people. A few days before she died, I opened a new bag of Members Mark. I then gave that bag to a family member since I no longer had a dog, after the first feeding, her dog got severely sick, vomiting and bloody stool. She looked It up and there was a recall on Nov 9th. I had purchased it on Nov 1st. It's all too connected. I am absolutely positively sure, without a doubt that it was the kibble that made our dogs sick.

…… i’ve fed hills since 2019….. one of my dogs died and the other almost died…. tomorrow he’s been on locally made raw 2 weeks and doing fabulous…… something is WRONG with the food….. i fed kibble and ONLY kibble, i thought the raw feeders were crazy….. and here i am 2 weeks into feeding raw and it SAVED MY DOG!!! i have a feeling anyone defending the food manufacturers will be eating their words in a few months once testing is complete, i KNOW what my dogs have been through

My first time seeing your channel and I appreciate you addressing this. You answered some questions that I've had about what I've seen on other channels.

I've been waiting for someone reputable to talk about this. To me the math didn't add up. And I didn't trust the source pushing the campaign...no cases from veterinarians, just self reports from pet parents who are being horribly misled to think correlation is equivalent to causation.

I have totally respect for you! Social media has created a frenzy about pets food. I take it with a grain of salt! 🧂

I had heard of the Purina issue, but hadn't really looked into it and just assumed it was some batch of something getting contaminated the same way most recalls go. But watching this video... wow. It really does seem to be the pet food equivalent of a moral panic. Anyway, I am so thankful for your videos. So much of what is available online from pet owners comes from the "pet food companies are evil" side, it's nice to have someone who is so willing to explain the actual *proven* science of pet food.

Thanks for your video! I love your channel which is full of sane, sound advice! Lol I’m in Canada and my two dogs were sick with diareah upon opening a new bag of Proplan Sport Salmon in Nov. it continued for weeks so after seeing multiple posts on social media I decided to switch to Royal Canin to be safe. They are doing fantastic.

Do you have stocks in the pet food companies? Or are being reimbursed in any way for supporting them?

The first 10 minutes were a calm, measured, honest video on an emotional topic. Well done. Less than one thousand pets. But if one of them is yours, you would be pretty upset. So far, there have been no problems with the fresh chicken and ground beef my cats and I eat.

I feed raw and cooked diets but I’m thinking the same as you. I joined that site you mentioned and was promptly kicked out & blocked for simply stating I find it difficult to believe every single kibble out there is killing pets (except for the one that they recommend) and that I felt allowing unsubstantiated claims that brands killed their animals wasn’t proper.

Thank you for this update! You approached it very professionally and with compassion for those who have lost their furbabies. I am currently feeding Purina Pro Plan large Breed Sensitive Skin and Stomach Salmon and Rice. He is on his second bag, and he is doing great on it. He was on one the all life stages food but I realized it was just too much for him. It was causing excessive burping and acid indigestion. After I switched him, I started seeing all the reports about this food killing and making dogs sick. I called my vet and Purina and was assured the food was fine. Several at my vet’s office feed their animals Purina Proplan. Then I found your video about this, and all this put together made me feel more confident about him Purina. One thing to note is that Purina is changing ome of their proplan sensitive formulations by removing the live probiotics. His new bad no longer has them, so I wonder if that was causing some issues for pet owners who didn’t know and didn’t transition to the new formula. I do wish companies would let consumers know there has been a formula change upfront… Looking to switch to Science diet but I wanted to talk to my vet first about which one would be best for him. Tried the science diet healthy mobility but he wouldn’t eat after about two days. I think the kibble was just too large and it was really hard. Just don’t think he like it. Anyway, thanks for this video and your wonderful channel.

Thank you for this video, I am a first time dog owner of an 8 year old Pomapoo who is just as important to me as my children and I can not believe I went40 years without knowing the love of a dog. I don't know much about dogs so I'm listening to all this making myself crazy I quit purchasing dry cable and I've been making his dog food at home which is in return make me crazy because I've been worried that he's not getting the proper nutrition it has been an absolute headache and 24-hour a day challenge just to feed my dog. Library much thank you for your Insight coming from someone who has been in the industry the information is priceless to me so thank you again.

First, i just subscribed. Love your content...i almost fell for this mania about pet foods. I have a 6 1/2 year old cat, who i love more than life. I was going to cook her homemade food, but my vet calmed me down. I followed that insane Facebook page....stopped! I feed my Alice Royal Canin, Blue Buffalo, and Tiki Cat. Kibble, Hills indoot and Tiki Cat high protein.

Thank you thank you! First time puppy parent to our sweet little English Bulldog. When this story came out we were just finished transitioning our little guy to Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & stomach Salmon. I did all my homework before we even brought him home and felt SO good about that choice. When I saw the claims my heart sank and I went into stress /worry mode. Quickly got him onto Open Farm Wild Caught salmon/ancient graines, but honestly wasn’t sure about that one. He’s done good on it but not as good as when he was on PPP. And after doing more homework I guess that formula works just well for puppies but not when he gets older due to the increased minerals. 🙄 Fast forward now I found your channel…Wow I’ve learned SO much! Seeing you post about this I now feel confident to put my little guy back on Purina. Good grief it’s ridicules what Social Media can do. Especially for new pet parents like me who just wants the best for our pups. I have felt I have just been yelled at from all over the web to stay away from kibble because it’s the devil! All kibble is not the same, for sure,I saw that for myself when I changed our pup from a cheap chicken based kibble from the breeder to Purina PP. He was So much healthier! Skin, coat, and he didn’t stink (if you get my drift)😂. Anyhow, thank you again for your sound, EDUCATED information. Really means the world!

Thanks a lot for the content! Much appreciated! I am becoming a kitten parent in a month or so. I am currently looking with which pet food I would go for. I live in Europe and I am doubting between Purina Pro Plan Kitten and Hill's SD Kitten. From my reasearch I see that Hill's is a little bit underdosed for iron (

Thank you for your service and information ❤

Purina made my dog have explosive diarrhea saw vet flagyl wormers but it returned as soon as done. Started home made food my dog is 100% cured

Thank you for this video.

Ok, after watching this video, I see you DO know about this Dr. Judy Morgan. That's all I wanted to know.👍 On one of her latest videos, I commented/suggested, EVERYone also watch your and Dr. Rea's channels/videos for more rounded info sources.

My cat vomited his food. I could blame it on the kibble or remember he can't have chicken. That page would have me blame the kibble AND looky, I can buy her raw food. She is causing people to panic and freak out. That what upsets me. It is very upsetting.

I live in Canada. I feed my cats Purina Urinary Care, Purina Fancy Feast canned, and Science Diet kibble/canned and they are both very healthy. I'm not about to switch their food, unless there is a problem because they get very stressed out when I do this to them. I respect that people are going to have different opinions on what to feed their pets, I just wish the topic didn't have to come with such anger and division towards others.

I was on a group that had a witch hunt on Purina,these people are NUTS.

I was removed from the Facebook group this chatter has been going on in ( we all know which one)The only comment I made in the group was that the list of foods the admin is recommending as well as some other people linked to it should not be taken as the source of truth. Some of the foods on that list had calcium and phosphorus at weird percentages. They also have a link to this page where you pay $10 and it gives you a list of recommended dog foods. Do your research before you trust anything. And next day I was removed. I love my dog, and I joined the group because I was curious on how true these allegations are, which I still have no idea, but the admin removed me for telling people to trust their research.Feels fishy to me. I’m very curious on what is to happen next, and also appreciate your take on the issue.

I am feeding Purina Urinary for my cats. As you said it is quite good. But i am worried a tiny bit. Some pet parents suggest to change food brands and textures once in a while. What is your suggestions on another alternative? Being budget friendly, i am considering to change to Royal Canin Fit. Do you think it is good?

What is the best sensitive skin and stomach food that has a different protein than chicken? I was looking at Zignature Lamb and rice with probiotics.

There are millions of pets on Purina. 1000 deaths is a tiny fraction of all pets eating those brands. Yes, the deaths sre devasting for the pet parents without a doubt, but doesnt seem to make sense its the food. We'd see mass numbers of deaths. Even the samples that are being independently tested are not finding anything the last time I checked on of their results videos. They are causing panic and fear, and I found myself panicking when this started circulating. I even tried finding a different non-Purina brand for my very sensitive GSD and its wreaked havoc on him, so I just started back to what i was feeding him, and the negative reactions to the new foods are clearing up, thankfully (allergies/skin/ear issues). Its nice to find a different perspective on the big pet food brands out there! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise, and sharing other KZfaqrs like Dr Rea, too!

This all Mumbo jumbo. If that’s true. A class action lawsuit will be here by now. Or even Purina doing a recall

Do dog food companies randomly test a percentage of finished product before they ship to try to catch issues?

Thanks for this video! I’m in Canada and giving purina essential care and my dogs are fine but obviously got me worried. Let’s hope it’s all miss information even if it’s not very nice!

The people in that group are vicious! I have been lurking there just to see what all they’re saying and it’s just. Ugh. Nonsense. Finally left that group today.

Strange I’m 66 years old and been feeding Purina since I was a child. Most all of my dogs have lived 14 years or more! Only had one Doberman with bone cancer. The food did not do it.

i think it's ingrained in people to hear processed dog food and immediately think bad because of human processed food. i didn't realize the difference until i watched your videos. people love their pets and just want them to be healthy

What exactly is 'Rx' in Hills ?

are they going to recall their food??

I feed my cats Purina pro plan,love it

You wish love was spread on social media?….wouldn’t that be something??? Go back to free love of the 60’s….hmmm in 2024 when it’s so much easier to get on social media and take out our anxiety and frustration on someone, ANYONE else. You make a lot of good points….we are a multi dog household…one is elderly and on Royal Canin vet diet. So far, we have not had any issues…the other two on wholesome…not the greatest but not the absolute worst either.

I’ve had 8 clients gets sickened by their food, 2 were Purina and 3 were Hill’s Science Diet. I was Petsitting 2 dogs who developed hemorrhagic gastroenteritis from a new bag of Hill’s…. The company never replied & instead sent me 2 coupons in an envelope (no letter, no inquiry on how the dogs were doing, if they had recovered.) zero response from Hill’s, despite sending pictures of the normally pale yellow kibble covered in some sort brown gunk.

We couldn't find a recall. We stopped Purina food and threw it all into the trash.

Purina is garbage food. Like Burger King or McDs.

hey love you content and for the help with how to look at foods. can you do a review on this food or just reply to this comment with your opinion on it? its for a 4month old golden retriever. food is Farmina N&D Tropical Selection Lamb Puppy Medium & Maxi Dry Dog Food

I feed 3 different Purina dog food, and the kitty gets Purina as well. No problem so far. One of the comments I have heard about these alleged issues is that Purina reimbursed one pet owner for vet bills. A few years ago Purina reimbursed my daughter after her dog ended up at the e-vets very sick, and the vet did think it was the food. It turned out the dog had an intolerance for chicken, and has been on Pro plan salmon for years. But Purina did pay the emergency vet bill.

Ya i see a site that has good and bad food. They have hills science diet as a bad food and the foods they have are foods i didnt hearbof and are freeze dried or raw diet.

deleted my comment? i was just trying to give you an FYI.

Hi what is your name ?

Yeah my dog are getting sick from Parina pro plan large breed formula. Only thing they have has we had to change dog food it’s ridiculous paying that much for dog food actually the most you can pay it is unacceptable.

Please, check out this veterinarian’s take on this issue. Very informative! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6mieZSTmeDIioE.htmlsi=tty1FQHxAiMOgYSc

I do 50/50 kibble N raw

100% of people who died so far in 2024 ate something before dying 😅

I have nothing against corporate dog food , I understand human error so let's get to the bottom of why purina is making my dog sick, I have vet backup that he was I'll & I cannot afford the alternatives so why don't you push for testing & find out what > if you thinks it's bogas I'll send you a portion of my food to ahead and feed to your dog [ which I would not recommend until they find out what it is

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Purina products are awful, I started finding BUGS AND WORMS in every day I purchased. When I called the company they told me that it was the stores problem.

Extremely boring. Get to the point already.
