Purina
reviews and complaints

i had walmart ship my 40 pack of friskies pate cat food and it took an extra long time to get to my address, the product that was shipped is unuseable. the cans are all dented, the box was ripped and resealed, very poorly, i have pictures. my cats are older and i always buy the friskies pate for them, i have for years. normally i get great cat food but i just wanted you to see what they will ship to customers, its really not acceptalbe. someone must have dropped it from a high place and then threw them all back in the box and taped it up, put a sticker on it that says SHIP AS IS!

i apologize for complaining but i honestly thought you all should be aware of this. i know that this isnt your fault as a company.

thank you for your time

I bought a 36lb bag of true instinct turkey and venison high protein from Walmart. I brought it home and dumped it into our big plastic tote. I have 3 dogs and 2 days in a row I noticed there wasn’t hardly any meat pieces in it and it was the high protein so there should had been a lot, so I checked the remaining food in the tote and it was the same way. I don’t know why I just know it wasn’t what I was used too.

This last bag purchased September 27, 2023 has caused both my dogs to break out with itchy skin, vomiting, loose stool and ear discharge. We have been feeding this same brand for over a year with good results. I would like to know if this is an isolated incident or if there is a larger problem? Its a very expensive dog food to feed to have these types of side effects.

I buy purina pro plan case of chicken and rice, turkey and rice and chicken vegetable. My complaint is that our house cat will not eat the turkey and rice plus I feed 3 stray cats and I tried giving them the turkey and rice and they won't touch it either. Just wondering if you have had other complaints with the turkey and rice, Just seems really peculiar that the stray cats won't eat it either. Now I have these cans of turkey and rice just sitting around, I hate wasting the money on this, this stuff isn't cheap

Last Thursday, September 7. 2023, I purchased a 30 lbs bag of purina dog food. Within 24 hours my dogs were vomiting and having diarrhea. This continued until Sunday September 10th 2023. I stopped giving them the dog food on September 9th and they both had their last vomit and runny stools that morning. I go to look at the dog food and there was beetles in the food.

I have 3 indoor cats and buy them Friskies canned cat food, made by Purina. I alternate the various types but last week I bought a 40 pack of Friskies Seafood & Chicken Paté favorites from my local Target. The box they came in wasn't dented in any way but when I started taking out the cans nearly all of them were crunched. As in put in at the factory that way, crunched. This then smooshed the food in the can so when it was opened it came flying out or opened incorrectly and the tin got raggedy and sharp. I couldn't believe these passed quality control. I couldn't return them as I had already opened a few before realizing it was nearly the whole case and wasn't a one-off type situation.

I pay $46 for a 15lbs bag of this because I thought I was paying for top quality food from this company to hopefully find a food that will get rid of my huskies ear infections thinking it maybe an allergic reaction. I have looked up reviews and never thought to look at the ingredients but it has chicken meal in it. Why in the hell am I paying outrageous amounts of money when you put the same crap from cheaper foods into this high protein food that my dog at first liked and now hardly touched is. If I still had the dog food bag I would return it and never buy this product ever again. What a shame that this company would do this to save them money but allow them to charge people more for it because they say they put a little beef and salmon in it. What a joke.

I have a feral cat that I have been feeding for about a year. He loves Friskies Tasty Treasures I buy him 48 at least a month. I am on a limited income and it gets expensive. So iam like great I will try the Purina Rewards Program. I am thinking I buy a lot and I can get rewarded for it. Well as of lately the site claims it can't read my receipts(now that my points have gone up). You would think if they value their customers they would just take a minute and zoom in on the receipt. Very Poor Customer Service. I guess the only way iam going to save on cat food is to switch to 9 Lives! To me they seem like they are scamming people. Or need a more mature person to do the job!

Last week I purchased 2 large bags of Beneful dog food from the Dollar General in Leslie, Missouri. At roughly mid-way through each bag I discovered at least a quarter of the food was clumped with fuzzy mold holding the peices together. This was not only in one; but in both bags I just purchased the day before. I've been buying this brand of food a year now and I'm very disappointed. Especially since my dogs Bambi and Shadow had finally found a food they loved and that I could afford on my budget. I became confident in my choice but now I'm not so sure. I hope this matter is in some way addressed asap.

Thanks, Morgan.

(See if you have a complaint on file in July from me)

This dry dog food has been recommended by our vet, so we've used it for a few years. The 40 lb bag went bad -with bugs with only 2/3 of it used up. I tried to return it to Walmart but the expiration date (3 months) had elapsed the day before. I have the receipt (even though it's hard to read, for $54.00 months ago, and recently (having paid $65.47 for a new bag of it, on 6/6/23). So I'd like my money back, preferably the $65.47 for the new bag since I had to get some earlier and haggle with the manager at Walmart.

I have two great danes.My male is 9 months and my female is 6 weeks younger. They have been on this same dog food since we got them as pups at 8 weeks old. I have never had any issues. We recently bought a bag over the weekend (Sunday 7/16/23) and Monday (7/17) morning woke to my female covered in diarrhea all over her kennel. We limited her food Monday and she did ok. Tuesday my male is now having the same issues. I allowed the female to start eating and Wednesday morning was horrific. The male is now covered in diarrhea, and the female has it again. This 47lb bag of food is far from cheap. I am very confident it has to be a bad bag of food, nothing else has changed. Additionally, after seeking advice on a Dane FB group, there is an issue going on right now with this brand of dog food and I am not the only one. Sad for my puppies.

I was pouring this into our 2 dogs' dishes today only to see what looked like worms & bugs. We were using this food at our 2nd home in Mo. while we were there as well. One of our dogs got sick and we ended up with a hefty $500. Now I'm wondering if this food was the culprit. I've never in my life had this occur and I've had dogs my whole life. This made me feel sick to even think about what they've digested.

I purchased the 40 count canned friaries. I have approximately 15 can left.

When I opened two cans they all refused to eat their food. One can was mariner’s catch and the 2 nd can was chicken & tuna dinner, both are Best Buy APR2025, numbers 31181157L63821902 and 31111157L63930953.

I opened another can of food and they all accepted it without hesitation.

On 5/2/23 I heard my nursing Mother cat gagging while eating a can of Grilled Turkey Fancy Feast. I opened her mouth and pulled out a 1/4 inch piece of flexible black rubber such as would be used in a gasket. I could see flecks of debris mixed throughout the food and immediately discarded it and the other cans of Turkey that I had. I believe they came from a 24 pack but I no longer have the box. Purchased from Kroger in Richmond VA some time in April 2023. The serial number on the can is 30639052L2A2231648 Expiration March 2025.

This food is nasty and unacceptable. My cats 20 yrs old and she's not picky. I purchase wet cat food once a month on my income and this month I decided to try your brand. My cat is trying to eat it but doesn't seem to be able to tolerate it. I'd like a full refund. This is going to cause my cat to suffer because she needs me to voice her dissatisfaction. I'm so unhappy with fancy feast wet 12 pk of cat food. Ive tried everything ti make it acceptible. Shes going to lose weight and starve waiting for a refund of the worst cat food i've ever seen. How could a purina product be so badly accepted by my car? I've owned a 1000 cars in my 65 years of living. All fed and raised in purina cat food. Help me feed my old cat. Shes hungry!

I went to FreshCo today at 13:55:56 pm 1550 Tecumseh & Huron Church I bought dog food cans cat food cans and a Lg bag of Purina Friskies cat food 7.26 kg. When I got home I opened it to put it in a container and at the bottom of the bag was wet and the food was moldy and smelled bad.I called the store and went to tell them but all I got was the run around again they kepted passing me to someone else and I did not talk to anyone so I left my phone number now this is the second time this has happened to me. The first time it was a Lg bag of Purnia Cat chow. The store number is 9822. Thank you, Kim Gagnier,

Up front, I am aware from previous employment of mfg products that not many customers take time to complain of their dissatisfaction. In fact, only one customer of 20 in my business would take time to complain. They would simply select another manufactuer. THAT IS MY CASE of this matter I will explain:

I am a small Texas Rancher 80 yrs of age. Having purchased PURINA products since I was a young lad working for my father in the 50's. In fact, I wore shirts and shorts made of CLOTH Purina 100 lb feed sacks of Layena Chicken Pellets.

Always the product my father chose. Same here in my business over the years.

HOWEVER, quality of Purina products has eroded and I shall not purchase another sack of Purina Cattle cubes for the time I have remaining in my business. WHY? Well, I shall explain: I feed 28 head of cows daily from a hand applied pellets to the ground where they pick up the pellets. The entire 40 sacks were comprised of CUBES, DUST, & CUBE FRAGMENTS! Seems like the entire contents of each sack were "sweepings" or a matter of curing before processing the cubes? I dunno?

However, I shall search for another supplier of cattle cubes with my next order soon.

ALL written to advise; you must review your Quality Control procedures to avoid more loss of business and the good reputation Purina once had in my business.

Thanks
