Dog Owners: Purina Beneful Varieties May be Lethal! It's Happening Again!
This is not the first time Purina Beneful brands have made dogs sick. Back in 2006-07, dogs were getting sick from this stuff. Well, it's happening again. And dogs are even dying. Still no recall from FDA.

LINK TO FULL ARTICLE:

[link to www.examiner.com]

QUOTED FROM ARTICLE (in accordance with GLP's policy):

"Beneful dog food is a popular brand. Unfortunately over the last two to three months, pet owners have seen their dogs become ill after eating this food, based on reports on the Consumer Affairs website. Some pets are more sensitive than others, and their symptoms can include any of the following, sometimes more than one:

Vomiting
Diarrhea
Excessive water drinking
Lethargy
Weight loss
Seizures
Bloat (this is life threatening to a dog)
Kidney failure
Liver failure
Death

Although Beneful comes in several types of food from puppy, to active and healthy weight, it appears the problem is broader than one type of food. Reports have included Beneful's Healthy Radiance, Healthy Weight, and Playful Life, while other reports did not indicate what type of Beneful was fed...

*snip*

... This problem is not in a single region but across the country (USA). The number of reported cases, mainly from October 2012 through January 2013, has been increasing and currently there are 220 incidents listed on the consumer affairs site alone. With pets dying after eating this food, the following questions must be asked.

Is Purina turning a blind eye to what their Beneful product is doing?

Why has there been no recall or statement issued by the FDA?"

DO NOT FEED YOUR DOG THIS SHIT!!!

To watch the commercials, you'd think that Beneful is the greatest shit ever!

What they don't tell you is that Beneful has a LONG history of making dogs sick.

This is why I let my dogs kill their own food once a week I throw a couple of live piglets in their pen. I think its good for them to feel their wild instincts.

We had two dogs die the same day. They were poisoned by dog food. That was around 2006-2007 not exactly sure date. They were two years old from same litter. We think that it was experiment on how it would affect dogs. It was in the grain source. Next time it could be us.

My dogs rejected purina long ago. They even rejected the high priced food since it seemed to cause soft stool on all of them. Far too rich.

They love and have no problems with Pedigree.

Unnatural relationships with nature do tend to bring about unnatural consequences. Just about everything we do is contrary to nature and what is natural.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33116434


Perhaps since many companies have an unnatural relationship with their environment, as most every one else does, they should take their share of the blame.
Look in the mirror... that mirror was not produced by nature.

so do i, it just takes a little time and can be way cheaper than processed dog food.
I refuse to feed mine anything in a packet or tin.
I dont think people would feed processed foods to animals if they knew the whole story.
i want to know what my dogs eating.

and everyone says they want to be reincarnted as one of my dogs lol

I have a tendency to cook more than we need, I always end up with and extra portion, so that's what my dog eats. Its a lot better than wasting food, and it ends up costing me less than crappy dog food that she hates anyway.
