Purina
reviews and complaints

I have several cases of Fancy Feast gravy lovers food/beef because I thought it was a fluke that both cats stopped eating it. So I bought more. I realized that its more pastey ish and less liquid. Now with several cases they just wont eat it. Finally got them to eat Pate style and of course now can't find that in stock anywhere. My vet said stop trying to give them that. Somethings not right and now I notice even Chewy has all products pulled. This isn't even all the cases Ive bought (in pictures)

After trying revelations the cat seems to like it,so I bought the beef flavour as a treat but the cat would not entertain the beef revelations I was so disappointed and had to throw it away at the cost of £2.75 from sainsburys an put me of buying it again yours very disappointed as you don’t back you products up I feel it’s time after the years and support buying your products to take my business elsewhere ,where they support their products and customers thanks yours

What is going on with Fancy Feast cat food? My two ragdolls - just over a year old - have always loved the grilled seafood. I buy the 24 can package for them. I have recently had problems finding it at Publix but found it on Chewy and ordered it with auto ship. However they now won't eat it. I have thrown away full bowls of cat food. I have another unopened case I am afraid to feed them.

I started searching online and found a lot of people complaining that their cats will no longer eat their favorite FF. I also found some boards where people are complaining that their cats are getting diarrhea and are getting very very sick from the Fancy Feast. Most of those cats get better when they stop eating the Fancy Feast - proving it's the Ff - but some are still severely ill.

What have you done? Have you changed the recipe? Are you substituting quality ingredients for other lesser ingredients due to supply change shortages? Is there something wrong with your production process as there was a few years ago?

We love our pets and this is a very serious problem. I am no longer feeding them your products. You may fool us humans but you can't fool our cats - they know foul when they smell it.

Bought 24 pack from Asda in Wrexham . The 8th tin on the top row was full of jelly no meat at all. I hope there's not going to be any more.

What do I need to do to get these receipts above processed and points added to my account?

The response I got:

Please note beginning October 15, 2019 you will need to submit your receipts within 1 year of the date of your purchase. For example, if you make a purchase on 8/1/19, you will have until 8/1/2020 to submit the receipt for Pro Club Points. Receipts that are more than one year old will no longer be accepted for points after October 15, 2019 and we cannot make exceptions. Several of the out dated receipts were credited in error. We will not deduct the points for this error. If you have further questions or concerns, please reply or contact Member Services at 1-877-PRO-CLUB.

My reaction:
I'm the president of a large national rescue. We place 300 or more dogs a year and have 300 volunteers. I have always been an advocate for Purina Proplan with both our volunteers and our adopters who now number in the thousands, but I'm not feeling brand loyal now.

The points plan has been a huge nuisance starting with point circles no longer being the basis for submitting proof of purchase. Now I see that your goal was to disenfranchise people by being able to prove the food was bought a year or more ago and then not giving credit for that. On top of that, scanning those receipts and saving them and submitting them was a huge PIA by comparison to sending in the physical point circles. I used to work in IT and it was tedious even for me. I can well imagine that is past the technical capabilities of many buyers, so that eliminates another whole group from participating.

Congratulations-- you started an incentive program to reward buyers of your products and now you've just succeeded in alienating them. NO program would be better than this nonsense.

Have fed my dogs purina one for along time. with the most recent purchased bag all 3 of my dogs have been throwing up shortly after ingesting. Today at my sisters who feeds her dog the same purina one plus her dog threw up and apparently has been the past week after ingesting. My dogs are my everything and it scares me seeing 1 sick let alone all three. I will be discarding the rest of this bag and will have to buy another. $50 down the drain but anything for the well-being of my babies. This isnt a coincidence and I feel there is something wrong with the food and needs to be addressed before more harm is spread.

We feed our cats fancy feast wet food and meow mix dry food. The other day I opened a can if fancy feast and there was mouse excrement pellets and what appeared to be little pieces of aluminum foil in and on the food. I am pretty upset about this. The aluminum foil especially seeing as though it could have led to internal bleeding in our beloved pet... Not cool.

Every time I buy your product(surfin turf dry cat food), the box is contaminated with moths, worms and their eggs and my cat is falling sick because of your food. This is beyond disgusting. We bought it from different stores and noticed every single one of them were contaminated with them. Never buying purina products and ruining my pet's health anymore!

Bought a 44# bag of Purina proplan salmon for Sensitive skin and stomach for my beagles thought I try it out since
my youngest beagle has skin allergy problems even though it is $$$ if it helps worth it . No real change for her but about halfway thru the bag started seeing small brown worms not too long after that the were around the area ! Decided to put the rest in plastic containers and clean up the worm and spray the area with bug spray .still finding them in the food tossed it out before more problems arise. Wish I knew before it had this problem. Disgusted 😢$$$$

You are refusing to accept responsibility for tens of thousands of very sick cats directly linked to eating Felix cat food.

It has become foul smelling and either makes the cats sick or they refuse to eat it.

You are talking down to customers that have been loyal to you for years and as a result, their beloved cats are dying, on drips, starving themselves, vomiting with diarrhoea.

You should really stop denying that this is an issue. Over 12, 000 pet owners with the same complaint is no longer a coincidence.

As a horse trainer I recommend Purina products to all my customers. I use the above product myself. I was feeding this morning and noticed a clump of moldy feed. I removed it and thought it must have gotten wet in the bag, as I had just opened it. The next scoop contained a freeze dried mouse. Obviously had been there since packaging. Surly you have measures in place to inspect the product prior to packaging?

I have had 5 cats extremely unwell since the change of ingredients.
Uncontrollable diarrhea, horrendous wind, sickness, showing of 3rd eyelid lethargy.
It affected my youngest and oldest the most (obviously the most vulnerable)
The oldest has had antibiotics and steroids, since stopping your food they all recovered within 10 days, the oldest is still unwell but 90% better, the vet said it may take longer as he obviously is more susceptible to the poisen you've given him.
There is a group with over 12000 members complaint and a petition signed by 5000 yet you are doing nothing. Its a disgrace!

I have 3 elderly cats that have been eating fancy feast for years. Within the last 36 months when I buy this cat food my cat s will no longer eat it.. What have you done to the food? It costs more money now and the cats won't eat it. The food definitely is not the same. You have changed the recipes and made it more expensive and less appealing to the cats.

When we opened this 44 lb bag of dog food it was full of worms/bugs. This is pretty disgusting.. We have two other bags that we have not opened yet.. You need to fix this problem.
Advise us on what to do with the unopened bags.

There isn't a whole more to say… the food is infested with worms/bugs…
Eva temple a very dissatisfied customer!

My cat loves your fancy feast and now i'm reading all the negative information about your product? I'm sorry to say because in no way do I expect to be cheap feeding my cat, however I read it's fairly cheap almost $!.00 each can is not cheap (eating 90 cans a month)! Yet on top of that it is full of filler? But my immediate problem is why aren't the stores in maine fully stocked with your product? My cat loves it even though I read the reviews that's what he wants! Went to three stores yesterday in waterville, maine and no chicken florentine anywhere for at least one week! Tell that to my cat! In closing if fancy feast sells well in maine could you please stock us mainers better. Thanks for your time, gail chaisson [protected] at gmc. [protected]@gmail.com

I have been a customer of Felix Purina for over 6 years and always been happy. My cat has all Felix biscuits and all Felix cat food. Recent purchases from the last 4 to 6 months have made my cat Ill. I have opened the cat food and it is like slimy jelly and no meat. My mother who buys 6 or 7 boxes a week throws half of them away too. I started to buy tuna Felix singularly as then I knew it wouldn't be horrible. So today I tried to buy a box and the sachets are terrible. No meat and slimy. My cat had a bad stomach straight away. The ones that make her bad have a white box on the back with the lot number on whereas the others don't. I have shown you the ones that have the box and ones that don't.

My old dog has been through trial and error the last three years. When we finally found this probiotic pro plan dry food to eat while having her raw feeding, we found a miracle. Of course all good things must come to an end. Purina has changed their formula and new look of the bag and now my dog can no longer eat it. She throws it up and it makes her very sick with yellow diarrhea. Most pet foods and medicines are severe with her, and her diarrhea does not just go away, it lasts for days, sometimes gone onto a little over a week and gets very weak from it. I like to have some dry to substitute her raw, it looks like I cannot longer do it. It is a shame.

I placed an order for dog food on May 25. I received a response stating my order had been received. Since then there has not been one notice that this order has been prepared for shipment, or shipped. I have left voice messages as well as written requests for information. The promised 24-48 hour turnaround was not met on the requests fir information. The four individuals I did speak to could offer no assistance, one promised to call right back, one told me no one was available over Memorial Day weekend, one hung up on me, and the last one just basically said she can't help. I am extremely frustrated at this point. The ‘care' expressed for dogs is not believable. What can be done to resolve this situation, I believe that there should be financial consideration given as well. Almost three weeks later and not only can I not have the food but no one can even answer where it is or when it will be here. Need some real help here…:

I have been purchasing Beyond dog food for years and Buddy loves it. If I am going mto pay $1.99 + tax a can I want a full can and not all gravy. I have not opened the other cans so I do not know if they are the same. The contents contained more than half liquid and I am very disappointed. the number is [protected] 1110by 60259. I have pictures if you need them. Thank you for your time Mary Anderson

We have been ordering 12 can shipments of this flavor through Amazon for almost a year, however we think the last two shipments were CONTAMINATED causing vomiting and lethargy in our cat! I remembered the pate looked odd so I opened several more cans and found the pate was grey/black with a dark gravy at the bottom! As you know, the pate is usually brown with a light golden broth or gravy on the bottom of the can. I contacted Amazon & was refunded one case but it was too late to get a refund for the two previous orders. I have submitted a review warning other Amazon customers DO NOT BUY Purina Beyond Grain Free, Natural DUCK & SWEET POTATO. It should be recalled!
