I worked in the office of a dairy farm. We had euthanized cows rotting in the "graveyard" above ground in the elements. most were euthanized with medication. The animals were collected monthly by a company that makes the "meat" byproducts. Then they sold those byproducts to pet food companies. There is a video here on YT called 'Pet Fooled'. Very educational. Thanks Doc! God bless you brother!

Parent company, Nestlé. That says it all. Thanks for sharing.

We had a shitsu that had seizures. Made her homemade dog food and no more problems.

Purina killed over 50 of our sanctuary cats in 2018! They bled out after we opened new bags of food & gave them canned Friskies also! Sixteen died within 2 weeks. The rest died within a span of a year. It destroyed their intestines, kidneys & liver. RIP my sweet furbabies 💔😿💔 I will never feed Purina or any brand using 4D meat, corn, wheat or soy 💔

How refreshing to have a man who truly gives a darn about God‘s creatures. In this demonic world, exposing things can throw up a flag. Dr. Jones is a warrior.

What is really sad, society is making it a luxury to own a pet. Governments are trying to take things away that make us comfort ing

I believe pet owners . I lost trust in comercial dog food long time ago and I cook for my gang of 5. Oldest girl is 14 and doing wonderful ❤🙌

They dont care. Thank you for helping us avoid problems.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food -- also applies to our furry loved ones.

Almost 40 yrs ago, I worked for a vet who was also a meat inspector and he warned me about Purina way back then. I never touch their products.

Yes, just like their chicken food causing hens to not lay. I don’t trust Purina.

Ralston Purina was a decent pet food until 2001, when Nestle purchased Purina.

I tried Purina because I read how great it was. My dogs got bloody diarrhea and nausea from it. When I stopped using it my dogs have been fine since.

Pedigree too!!! I adopted a dog that was fed Pedigree & there was a recent recall especially from Dollar General & that's where the previous owner worked. The dog had 5 seizures in the 1st day. The Vet said to put her to sleep because she had had many others & a lot of brain damage & would continue to have seizures. I only had her 1 day. It was horrifying, I had never seen a dog have seizures. Those people knew she was sick & lied to me, the Vet agreed.

Before I heard any of this, our 3 cats were avoiding Purina One for about four weeks, and one with skin lesions, was vomiting right after he eats. Vet found no cause, but I realized THREE cats suddenly not liking their normal dry food was no coincidence.

Dr. Jones, my 12 year old puppy, passed away last week, her head on my lap. I covered her with my tears and my favorite blanket as she grew cold, then colder. She was the runt of the litter, #11 out of 11, and had lifelong health issues. I knew it was coming, and I was waiting for my roommate to come home from work to help me take her to the veterinarian. I never left her side as she struggled to breathe. You know what CHF looks and sounds like at the end stage. The end came fast, but it was graphic. It left a scar on my soul that may never heal . What I really wanted to say is that without your book and educational videos, she wouldn't have made it to 8 years. Thanks to you, she had 11 great years with me. Thank you, Dr. Jones.

Last year there was a train disaster in East Palestine Ohio. The crops were contaminated as well as the soil and water. I did a check to see if Diamond Naturals purchased any ingredients or manufactured in this area. I feel with all of the other disasters happening that contaminate soil and water we possibly have an answer to what is poisoning our pets. I will be making my dogs food - with your great recipes! Thank you Dr. Jones for sharing your wealth of information and equipping us to care for our pets health.

Here's the thing, most pet owners consider their dogs/cats as their family members and their deaths can be DEVASTATING!! Pet food producers should appreciate that.

I HAD 4 dogs. All of them started getting sick. No answers. My dogs were vomiting and had diarrhea that progressively gotten worse. I switched brands and over time three slowly got better. My Lilly, black Labrador, age 14 couldn’t shake it. She just couldn’t recover and passed. It’s been difficult without her. I have finally gotten where I can talk about her. I know with every fiber of my being it was the purina dog food. I’ve never had problems with any of my babies, then OUT OF NOWHERE all four of them. My two youngest were approximately 18 months old. Both rescues one is special needs. A mini schnauzer the other a Pomeranian. My second oldest a sher pei mix. The food needs to be removed from the shelves. The hole in my heart will forever remain

Dr. Jones, Thank You for becoming involved in these conversations! Let me start by saying, I've worked in the pet care industry for years. I've had special needs dogs of my own & fostered others. I've managed a no-kill rescue. I've been a human investor. And...I worked for one of the top 2 pet food retailers for 7 years. Point being, I do NOT overreact to dogs/cats in my care displaying signs of illness. I closely monitor, adjust foods, etc before rushing to my vet (unless it's an obvious immediate threat to life, of course). Animals are my passion. Ok, now, back in November my 1 year old rescue dog started randomly vomiting. Then, it became once a day until day 5 when I took him to my vet (he was energetic, normal appetite, healthy stools, etc. So normal other than vomiting). After a $600 bill at my vet, his diagnosis was...dehydration!! Duh, he's vomiting! I got no answers so the first food I eliminated was the Stella & Chewy freeze dried dinner rounds of which he only got 1 a day. But, that absolutely eliminated the vomiting he'd been experiencing! Next...I feed Purina Beyond dry kibble for my cats. They get a different brand of wet food as well. I'm not the biggest fan of Purina but have VERY picky cats who refused more expensive brands. I noted they have recently changed the look if their bag & I believe it may have have the word "Simply" in the name before. I got it because I interpreted it as a "limited ingredient" food. Anyway, I opened a new bag just a few days ago. My younger cat was sniffing it & walking away from the bowl. My elder cat was continuing to eat it. Yesterday I woke to bloody diarrhea in multiple places!!! Almost like where she was laying, it was just coming out beyind her control. I stopped the Purina kibble immediately & borrowed a brand of kibble from a friend with 5 cats who are not experiencing any illnesses. They love the food and both cats appear to be fine now. No more bloody diarrhea for more than 24 hours now. The thing that frustrates me the most is that Purina is 100% denying there are any issues. Saying we're fear mongering, etc. I call absolute greedy corporate BS!! To all companies in suspect, DO THE RIGHT THING!! These are not "animals" to most of us, they are family. You are denying any possibility you could be making our "children" sick. Do INDEPENDENT testing if there is such a thing. The number of reports are just a fraction of the whole. Most per parents don't pursue the underlying cause of illness beyond their veterinarian. Because, they trust these corporations. Again, Dr. Jones, I appreciate ALL you do to educate us each and every day! God Bless you and your work.

So what do we feed them? I personally can not afford to buy enough meat to feed the barn cats plus my indoor pets. Not that our food is safe either with all the recalls. Sounds like this can happen to other companies, especially if it is the vitamin mix. Purina owns so many companies, so we are obviously running out of safe options. Thanks Doc for all you do!

I truly am at a point where I trust no one! I started my dog on Sundays but his stools are loose and it’s very expensive food. I have spent multiplied hours researching and am finally at this conclusion: I am going to start preparing and cooking my dogs food. Thank you to this wonderful Vet who isn’t a sell out! My discernment tells me that he speaks from the heart! You are my go too when it comes to my dogs health issues (mainly allergies) and you have helped me us in a big way. I will be watching your videos on how to make my dogs food in my kitchen. ❤

The first thing the vet oncologist asked me was, "Did I feed my dog commercial pet foods from the grocery store?" I didn't. But you know when that's one of the first questions, there's something seriously wrong with commercial dog food. She was only 3 years old and developed rapidly spreading bone cancer. She only lived 2 months from the time we noticed the slight limp. ❤️ 🐾

I lost one of my dogs on Christmas eve, same symptoms as mentioned, eating Purina, I had used Purina for years with no issues but I believe they changed the formula. I am now using Open Farm for my dogs, from researching it sounded like a good choice although very expensive for my purse I don't want my other dogs to get sick.

Wish he would have given some options of what brand you CAN give ur pets.

I quit buying Nestle products yrs ago, and that includes human foods as well. To me, they are a callus company, profit only, and you don't matter because of their monopolistic size.

My dog only eats the food I prepare. He's 11 and acts like a puppy still. No shots other than rabies and home remedies only. Last time we were at the vet for his rabies shot, I had them run a blood panel as well. The vet said, "Keep doing what you're doing"

I have used Purina for livestock for years. When I started using Benefit for my 4 dogs, my dogs started getting ill. They all died from liver failure within A few months of each other. They were all under 10 years of age. I am still devastated by this. My vet at one point said," is it something your doing "😡. All the while prescribing medications for the systems not looking for the cause. My dog now doesn't eat anything from Purina. But I still feed livestock Purina and they are fine. Different places of manufacturing. Also Pedigree causes the same symptoms . I have seen my friends dogs perish with liver failure and tried to explain to them to try another food. So sad. Thank you for all your valued teachings. It was your videos that helped me raise healthier dogs and cats. My dog is now 23 and doing good for a dog of his years.

So what can we buy, commercially, that is affordable and will not kill our pets??

One of my dogs got very ill from Stella and Chewy, (the other 3 got mildly ill)the veterinarian said to immediately quit feeding him that food. He's still not 100 percent but he's alive and hopefully with more time and care he will recover. 😮

NESTLE, the parent co. of Purina has not been a company with a good reputation for a long time. So, to find it is the parent co. or related to Purina is concerning. The FB group telling this story is worrisome. And I have a puppy who nearly died too, using Purina Puppy food. Vet does not admit it may be to blame but do they know. So stop buying it.

Nothing can live on dead and diseased meat. Not to mention all the other crap that goes in to kibble. I am so sorry to the owners of the dogs that passed, incredibly sad and scary.

years ago we heard in the news that some treats and shampoos were killing pets, some of this had to do with the items being made in China. I can’t even believe that this is happening. we have opened our trade up too much. and poor standards have crept into our manufacturers. I can’t believe this. The comment about the cat sanctuary. We have been on hills food and I worry about things like this. we have recently started boiling chicken for our cats to supplement their diets I wish we could make all their food, maybe we can get there I’m getting the newsletters from this doctor now, thank you.

It’s not just Purina . I have calls in to Instinct as well as to Stella and chewy rabbit formula. We spent $2000 on our Chihuahua the first week of January. He already has so many environmental and food allergies as we spent 800 bucks on allergy testing a couple of years ago. The only protein he has not allergic to his rabbit, but both of these formulas had changed And he became extremely lethargic. He was trying to hide his food and cover it and just didn’t want to eat it. He was hungry but not for that. His ears swelled up and even his entire body. He had so much inflammation throughout and was itching like crazy. Ears were all speckled and red inside. Finally got our vet to refer us to a dermatologist about an hour away in Colorado Springs. He is now on a food trial with. Rayne Nutrition rabbit formula and he is doing both the canned and dry. it’s been a month and we have our follow up this Tuesday doing so much better!! They are poisoning not just the human food supply and water supply but also our precious pets.

So what brands are safe?

Thank you so much for this report 🙏 ❤️ We had a healthy cat seriously poisoned by "something" he was the only cat 🐈 out of 4 who was sick and the only one who ate purina!! Thankfully he survived. They will not admit it they are Nestles and have a track record of denial. We're in UK and my MP wrote to the Minister to report this and got a bland, unhelpful non-action response. Im a member of the Facebook group here Cats Recently Affected by Felix food and its unquestionable. Ive had direct communication with Purina and they simply are playing at being concerned, they are not. I'm aware that globally, there are serious concerns ... my question is why we are not getting an authentic independent investigation in to the whole tragic situation, at least what you've reported here gives some insight so Thank you so much 🙏🙌✨️

March 2024, bought Friskies kibble for my cat , as regular brand was sold out. Within three days , my cat started vomiting and became very sick, barely able to move. I figured out that it was the food, and immediately stopped feeding her “Friskies “. Took a few days, but after putting her back on her regular food she came back. After some research, I decided to not give her kibble anymore, just wet stuff. Wow, she’s like a fricking kitten now. Never seen her more energetic, and she’s 14 years old.

In 2007 my dog and my friends dogs were eating Wellness brand. Our dogs became very sick and we took them to the Vet. This is where we found this company as well as others decided to outsource their protein from China which used melamine to con buyers their protein was higher. As a result many dogs went into kidney failure. We were in the medical field, so the Vet supplies IV bags to us and we had to give daily IV fluids to support their kidneys. We were blessed as our dogs made it, others weren’t so lucky. As Dr. Jones and other self educated Vets know there is no real oversight regarding pet food. If you think Big Pharma doesn’t care about their jabs and meds that make humans sick or die, why do you think they would care about our pets? I cook for my dog, and will never trust the dog food companies again. Later we signed up for the class action lawsuit and won.

I buy bulk dog food from a warehouse. blue buffalo. My new Australian Shepherd got sick Oct. 2022. Bloody diarrhea, it cost me $10,000.00 to save his life at the emergency vet. I used all that batch of Blue Buffalo, and now I just got over $1,000.00 worth of Blue Buffalo yesterday, and NOW I see this. I buy expensive food for my dogs and they pull this B.S.! I think I will cook all of my dogs food now, build up a flock of several hundred meat chickens. I used to use merrick until I heard that they were purchased by purina, then I dumped them like a hot potato. I spend thousands and thousands on what I THOUGHT was quality food. I used to seek out companies who had INDEPENDENT testing done on their product. I hope that the companies who have done this ALL fold up and go out of business!

My post here isn’t about dog food, but Purina chicken layer feed. We had our hens on Purina later feed, they ALL stopped laying and all started pecking each other and losing their feathers (they weren’t molting) …. Also, they started getting very runny stools and right before I switched their feed, they were refusing to eat the Purina layer feed.. After talking to several other chicken owners and our local farm store, I switched them to Beaver Brand (made in the pacific NW where I’m from) and immediately, in less than 3 days…. They were all laying again… there was something in that feed, that was not only making them feel and behave bonkers… it totally stopped their laying cycle!! Never again will I EVER use Purina ANYTHING!! We have our pups on Costco Kirkland feed, it’s made by an excellent company named Diamond… it’s a top tier food and very affordable. I highly recommend it to anyone! Our little rat terrier has horrific allergies and used to be on Hill’s Science Diet… it was horribly expensive and she still had allergy issues (bloody stool, fur loss and ear/paw infections)… she now has NONE of those symptoms!! I hope my comment can help someone trying to find a good top quality feed for their pups ❤️💕🙏🏼

He should tell us what the heck to feed them.

Funny enough the vet told me to stop giving my dogs raw diet and to go on purina. Glad I didn’t pay attention. Im not sure why she even recommended purina when she has told me many times that my dogs are healthy.

My 2.5 yr Boston Terrier eats a mixture of Zignature grain free kibbles and pre-made frozen raw protein sliders with 10% produce. Made in USA. Thank you Dr. Jones for taking Purina to task. I personally would add Science Diet to bad food category. Horrible food. Traditional veterinary offices are coerced into selling this crap.

17 dogs. Purina only. All lived long lives. The 2 I have left are 16 yrs old. One a small, Bichon Frise. One a large breed - Golden Retriever - that still likes to wrestle. Last year, my son put down his 15 y.o. Lab. I do not CHOOSE purebreds nor do I purchase them. These 17 dogs have joined my household because they were on their way to the pound. I wanted to guarantee they had a good life.

I stopped feeding mine This company should close up

I'm deeply appreciative that there are veterinarians who are calling out problems that individual pet owners may not understand what maybe (likely) the problem. Thank you. It's important to us. Please understand vets need to understand not everyone can go to great expense or has a lot of time to make food for their pet(s).

I contacted Purina August 2023 about the toxic ingredient Annatto being used in Beneful and they blew me off with their standard BS. This breaks my heart that so many pets have died because of their greed.

Purina, Instinct, Stella and Chewy, Pure balance, Royal Canin, Merrik, Origin, Organix, Taste of the Wild, Hills, Acana, Blue Buffalo.

Ok so my senior cat started losing hair , for a couple years it was Prednisone and injections , on and off till I noticed it was every time I bawt Purina senior biscuits , stopped them and within a couple months , his hair started growing back , vet says I'm wrong but that's the only change I made

Most commercial pet food, including high-end expensive brands have circled back to getting many of their ingredients, including meat, from foreign countries. Don't be fooled by the American flags on the bags...if you look closely under them, it often says something like "*Prepared* in the USA *using both domestic and imported ingredients.*

Thank you for addressing this subject. I mentioned it in comments on another one of your videos and so many of your viewers have been ripping me to shreds over the news that has come out about this horrible situation! I hope they can figure out what it is and take those Foods off the market before we have any more pets suffering and possibly die. I would not be surprised if the vitamin premix was made in China and they put some other kind of poisoning them like they did in 2007!!

My personal experience is that since I bought Purina indoor cat chow, my cat is vomiting and has loose stool. True statement. It’s happening today in my house.

Related note: Many pet foods and probiotics contain a bacterium called enterococcus faecium. This is a VERY robust and inexpensive member of the staphylococcus family that's added to aid in digestion. The higher the protein, the higher the EF content. Many dogs, especially northern and working breeds, have what we now call EFS, or EF Sensitivity. The bacterium essentially causes a chronic bacterial infection with symptoms that include volumionous, milkshake consistency stools, alopecia, poor thrift, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. EFS is often diagnosed as IBD or an absorption disorder. Treatment is often a probiotic which contains EF that worsens the issue. Dogs can and have died from EFS. Treatment with metronitazole and/or albon will alleviate symptoms, but they quickly return as the problem is the diet. Because its so common, switching foods won't help, all of which can make it difficult to pinpoint and diagnose. UK and European vets amd consumers seem to have a good knowledge of EFS. Some manufacturers remove EF from products destined for foreign markets. If you suspect EFS, withdraw all products with EF from the diet and treat with metronitazole and albon. Keep an eye on labels, too, as formulas change often.

I noticed my cat Stan started refusing his food and yet Purina was the only food he’d eaten since being a stray and the neighbors feeding him that food probably most or all of the time. He started refusing it at the same time tons of pet owners noticed something was wrong also. I had to get him into the ER and then urgent care while switching his food and he’s happily eating Nulo and Simply Nourish and he’s ok now! I saw over 60k people joined that group within 2-3 days-that is NOT a coincidence and I saw endless reports of the same timing and same issues. It’s just really hard to get a recall to happen and they’re not able to find out what’s in the food that’s causing the problem quite yet.

Oh my word, my cat only eats Friskies wt and Iams dry. She has had 4 mystery illness es in the last 12 months and the vet couldn’t identify it! The illness lasts about 3 weeks during which she refuses food and seems near death. I give her the malt gel to keep calories in her until she comes through. It’s horrible! The vet said there really isn’t anything that can be done. I wonder if it’s the Friskies.!?😨😨😨😨😨 Thank you, Doctor and everyone in comments. I will switch her food out. Edit. No wayyyy. The first time she got sick last December before Christmas, she was eating Acana. That’s on the list, too! 😮

Please let us know when dog food you switched to. I have my dogs on proplan and was going to switch to Acana but now I am waiting to see what happens.

Dr. Jones, thank you so much for all your videos. Please help. I've known to stay away from Purina for years, but Stella & Chewy?! I really thought they were supposed to be good. I've been feeding the freeze-dried raw cat foods. Are they all bad, too? What about Fromm Game Bird for cats? IS THERE ANY REASONABLY PRICED GOOD FOOD OUT THERE THAT WON'T KILL MY CATS AND DOG?!?!!

I am about ready to loose my 5th dog in two weeks.they all suffered from severe parvo like symptoms.Vomiting, diarrhea which quickly turned into bloody vomit and diarrhea. I rescue dogs and caught it immediately. All the dogs were strong and heathy and I had Iv fluids going, antibiotics and anything thing else imaginable and the didn’t stand a chance. Most were dead in 24.48 hrs tops.the last one alive is Lucy, a strong athletic American Pitt bull Terrier that could clear six foot fences. She servived the initial infection only to be left with neurological abnormalities, seizures, myocardial and I suspect liver or kidney damage. It breaks my heart to put her down after she fought so hard to survive. All 5 dogs were on Purina canned Pro plus extra protein I had received from our local humane society as a donation.the dogs all got sick within the first ten days of starting the new food. This illness was the most aggressive illness I have ever seen, it really looked like a more deadly enhanced variant of Parvovirus.I thought to myself they wouldn’t be doing gain of function research on the Parvovirus could they? Well it turns out that they are. .By the way, Purina doesn’t want to talk to me and keeps disconnecting me. I will comment again with links to the published GOF research.

can you tell us what your feeding your dogs now? thats such a high list of products and more of which in the supermarkets are also bad as well. the list is getting shorter and getting any good ones are getting harder and expensive. let us know what are the good ones.

My moms dog 🐶 unexpectedly died of a seizure a few weeks ago. Perfectly healthy dog. We live in Canada. She was feeding him purina. The dog was 2 yes old.

Thank You for Information, Dr. Jones. It is always Good to Know before hand. We keep our pets side together.

I lost my Weezy to Royal Canin in 2021. I kept asking if it was the food after listening to Dr Becker. No no no of course not. Well she’s gone, I’m still heartbroken because I couldn’t save her and I poisoned her. This has to stop

This "pet food" issue is really a problem! I had been feeding Victor to my sheppys since they were puppies. After there latest recall bullcrap,said to myself gotta change! As fellow pet lovers know,we want the best for them. But the cost of everything has made it REALLY HARD to achieve. I changed kibble, like to do away with it entirely! Working on it. But i give them half of what i used to,and supplement the rest. If this helps anyone....i spend about $20 extra a week,and go to my local grocery store and get ,turkey qizzards,chicken hearts,livers ,qizzards,legs,feet.beef liver,sardines,yogurt, pumpkin, broth,carrots, apple,and i look for marked down beef products. We have chickens,so they get fresh eggs. You need to be creative and rotate and balance the food. I have a camp stove in my shop,sometimes i just sere the meats for smell and warmth........my GSD'S, have never been more excited for mealtime! Hang in there people, love on them doggies!!

omg this makes so much sense! for months last year 2023 my cat was expreincing diahrea, vomitting, refusing to eat and I tried her on different foods and all with same above results. turns out they were all purina brands. she is doing a little better now with a new bag (still purina). Im not buying purina again.

Six months ago I took my dog off Purina One, and EVERYTHING is better. Coat, skin, stools, energy, etc. I used Purina for decades then October 2022 my 3 y/o dog developed a severe skin allergy after I bought him a small bag of the venison and sweet potato. He usually ate the chicken and rice, so I figured it was the different ingredients and threw out the venison, got chicken again. He got better but not up to snuff and then the allergies came back after a couple more bags of chicken and rice. Decided maybe Purina was pkaying with ingredient quality, so tried him on different food. His skin completely healed within a couple weeks AND his poop is better than it's ever been. He always had kind of weird stools, hard at first then runny at the end. That's gone now, too. I realize now my old dogs before him also had some issues with Purina One, but they happened gradually so I didn't make the connection. I think Purina has probably been steadily lowering the ingredient quality to increase profit, or maybe their wholesale ingredient suppliers have. Whatever, this was a great video and confirmation of what I suspected : Purina is no longer any good.

My dog has been on Pro Plan Puppy Sensitive Stomach Lamb and Rice her entire life. She’s almost 8 months old. She suddenly quit eating several weeks ago after I opened a new bag. I found my way to the Facebook group mentioned here. This is not coincidental. It may not be intentional, but the common denominator in many cases is this brand. I’m struggling to find a new food mine will eat. I’ve been making her food and topping another brand of kibble. She’s far too important to risk harming her. I just hope she is okay. Her appetite is not good now where it used to be great.

Omg I feed my little yorkis that exact Purina type. I was just talking to my husband today about taking our oldest yorki to the vet because she is having these symptoms. I’m thinking it’s because she’s in her old age. She’s almost 18 years. But then our two year old yorki started vomiting also. I’ve been racking my brain thinking about this. Now this all makes sense. Thank you God! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Why I never feed Purina or any recalled food. I switch it up between frozen lightly cooked, kibble (Open Farm/Viva Raw which I cook), and I make my own toppers. I've been following you since my cat died from eating recalled food (Fromm's). You have kept my dog healthy, and thank you for your allergy videos. I appreciate you

I was feeding Stella & Chewy's to one of my three dogs, and she got diarrhea starting early in December. But only 1/4th of her food was Stella & Chewy's. Another fourth was Small Batch, and the other half was homemade food. I gave her Slippery Elm and homeopathic medications for the diarrhea, and it would disappear for a few days and then come back. Since I took her off Stella & Chewy's completely, it has not returned. I think that one reason why she didn't get as sick as other dogs is because she was only getting 1/4th of her food from Stella & Chewy's, and because I was doing a lot for all three of my dogs to help prevent digestive problems. But I don't know for sure whether the food was the culprit or not. It might have just been coincidence. But it hasn't returned since I stopped the Stella & Chewy's, so I don't for sure. Still, better safe than sorry. Years ago one of my previous dogs was made sick by the melamine in pet food problem. She survived, but having to switch her so suddenly caused major digestive problems, and I vowed ever since that I would feed more than one brand of food to my pets at a time so that if there is a recall, or a shortage, or a company that goes out of business, I would not have to make such a drastic change to their diet so suddenly. I've had to deal with other recalls, companies going out of business, and food being out of stock when I was running short because I forgot to order more, or thought I still had some. And having other food to fall back on has saved us repeatedly.

To many pets have gotten ill or died and Nestle is turning a blind eye. I saw a post from a kennel were the dogs got sick from New bags of Purina. Purina has offer to some a refund and paying vets bills upon signing a non lawsuit from some post I've seen. Purina needs to wake-up and take responsibility 😤

My dogs have had the canned Purina Pro mixed with kibble. No more! I hope Diamond brand is still good. Watched this and immediately bought the Pro89 one. I also have been feeding my adopted Pitt mix Natural Balance low cal. So many names involved here. I’ve never felt great about dog food ingredients so shop carefully. Reading comments and glad to see others cook for theirs too! Seriously don’t know if any one entity is to blame here but it has to end asap. Thank you for your work.

Thank you Dr. JONES. IM in that group and it's heartwrenching to read. I'm thankful I feed my girl a balanced raw diet made in Canada.

So we need suggestions what to switch too?

I'm so angry at this company for trying to gaslight everyone about this (and to even go so far as to try to blame corporate espionage for spreading "rumours"! Are you kidding me?). My dog was extremely sick for the entire month that I fed her this food (PPPSSS Salmon and Rice) and immediately improved when I stopped. The food is tainted! They need to recall it immediately.

My dog had mucus diarrhea, pungent frequent gas and sometimes gastrointestinal sounds. He was on Acana kibble and canned. I had his stool tested and came back with Giardia. So we treated with the meds given. But it didn’t make a difference, plus he started a new symptom, vomiting. 2 weeks after finishing the meds I had another fecal test done and it came back negative for any Giardia or anything else. The vet said change his food. So, I switched to Dr. Harvey’s canine health, 20-22ounces of protein that I cook and the Dr Harvey’s health and shine oil plus I still gave him Acana canned. His stool improved but not completely and still vomiting. So, I dropped the Acana and now his stool is normal, and he has no more pungent gas or gastrointestinal sounds or vomit issues.

Dr Jones, your information is so valuable! Please post the link to your upcoming webinar. Hopefully more people are able to attend. Thank you for all that you do.

I'm so glad you are covering this. THANK YOU

Thanks for the info, I had just read that story this morning. I hope that you can keep us updated. I'd like to see what the results of those independent tests will be!

Dr.Jones, I just wanted to tell you how greatly you are appreciated! Thank you so much for all the information you impart to us.

Thank you so much for keeping us informed on this and so many other topics. You are awesome and I love that you care so much for animals and their owners. What a blessing you are!

I also want to thank you heaps for all your videos and the info on pet care. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the updates. We need to know 👍🏼👍🏼🐾

Ive been feeding my pets Taste of the wild, one of my cats has been vomiting for 2 days and not eating or drinking, or moving much. This breaks my heart, stopped feesing it to my other pets. Please pray for my cat Ray to get better fast and eat☹ I made him home cooked but cant eat right now. I pray that all of our furry family recover and be heathly. Sending love and healing to you too.

You have helped me so much restore the health of my dog. I changed his food to Farmer’s dog and all his skin problems (mostly staff) have disappeared after two weeks. Also, your advice on his reoccurring ear infection worked!!! I’m so happy.

I watched the entire webinar. Im still not clear as to what is safe for my very finicky dog. So sad we have to worry about this.

My dog was on Purina Adult Complete, which is what they are feeding at the Humane Society. He has some itching, so I decided to transition his kibble to a better brand with salmon. He's doing a little better, but I am now supplementing his food with human grade toppers, pasture raised organic eggs, and raw goat milk which I just got today. I'm just so glad I got him completely off the Purina before potentially buying a newer bag that may contain a bad batch. It's heartbreaking what's happening! 💔 In the meantime, I'm looking for an affordable kibble that's not repeatedly processed at high heat, and and one that does not have a synthetic vitamin pack (which could be the cause). I live in the country where organic meats are not readily available except for ground beef. I don't trust chicken that was fed corn because of roundup used in cornfields, and no one sells organic chicken locally... so all I can do is look for better kibble and supplement with organic raw when I can get it. I just cannot afford to buy premade raw diets online, at least not at today's prices!

Thank you, as always for your exemplary courage to get this message out to save more lives!!!!!! 👏

Thank you for these ever so important warnings‼️

Thank you for this information. I'm sharing this on Facebook & Twitter (X).

Thank you for this information.

Thank you Dr. Jones - Always can count on you to report things as it is happening and not folding to big box corporate pressure.

Thanks for alerting the public

The last time I opened a bag of Purina beniful was for my mum's dog and what flew out blew my friggin mind and I wish I had recorded it on video, but I opened a bag of beniful small dog sized food and a ton of moths flew outta the bag when I checked the expiry date it was a fresh delivered bag it took me 3 weeks to get every last month out of my mum's apt. There were so many moths I thought there was a plague happening everything was covered in moths ! After that I never bought another bag from them and even changed companies for her dog food and oh btw I do know where the food was made in st Mary's ont. Canada and btw if people knew wtf the animal by products are and from where it comes from well let's just say don't go to st Mary's ont in the hot summers cause the factory where Purina gets their ahem " animal by products " from really stinks and is a constant BAD place to be at ! So bad that the property owners across the street only sell the property in the off season ( winter months) because of the stench which makes people sick !

Well, we will find out when all the testing comes back. I’m so sorry for the people that lost their pets to this food

Thank you for joining the other Vets for making this info known. We all need to be holding the pet food companies accountable!

I buy Young Again kibble for my cats. You can only buy it from their site. They never had a recall and their carb content ranges from 0-6 percent so your cat is less likely to develop kidney disease. They also sell dog food.

So, since you report what foods are bad, what foods r u feeding your pet?

I am so glad i stopped buying dog food years ago homemade gently cooked is all my fur babies get.

Thank you for letting me know about purina pro plan - I don’t use it and my vet tried pushing it on me and I pushed back and said no thank you! I’m so glad I stuck to my instincts and then DrA your education is so valuable!!! You confirmed what I was feeling as to be true.

Ah crap, blue buffalo..my cats been eating it and purina and diarrhea, throwing up and lethargic too. The vet couldn't explain it either.
