Let's not forget this is a billon dollar buisness and so what if a couple dogs die? both dogs had the same symptoms their urine had a very strong odor and they both were very weak but consumed a lot of water prior to passing.My rottie's were in seperate locations and never had contact with each other? My bet is pointing at the dog food or is their a dog flu going around that we don't know?

I believe she was in acute kidney failure, she died very quickly. I am so devestated. I am going to try to find a place to have the Purina Dog Chow tested. If I have to dig her up to get an autopsy, I will. I am in complete shock My Bichon Frise died 24 hours ago. I believe she was in acute kidney failure, she died very quickly. I am so devestated.

She started eating puppy chow by purina and got very ill. I took her to the vet. and they said something to do with the kidneys. Well they stated her on fluids and then put her in ICU for a few days. I brought her home and she died that night. The vets. were very puzzled that a puppy that age could have kidney probloms.

Her kidneys have completely shut down she doesn't urinate but only a few drops of amber colored urine. She is being put down today.

How sad that our FDA and Homeland Security is so lacking in interest in protecting us that they allow imported goods (and you will notice that the owner of the american company that was buying the imports from china is also from there, just married to an american here in las vegas) to come into this country untested and with no accountability! This is what America gets for selling out production and farming to over seas countries and thinking that they don't hate America enough to tainted whatever they think they can get away with and send it back to us! Our farmers should have never been paid off to quit farming certain grains here in America because it was cheaper to buy it from overseas and the land could be used for "other" industries. What a shame America has brought upon herself for being so greedy and wanting more bang for their bucks and selling out to cheap labor overseas......hence the old saying.....YA GET WHAT YA PAY FOR!!!! http://www.fda.gov/consumer/up.....21908.html this shows how long the dog food companies have known that there was every possibility that their dog foods were contaminated and did nothing and told no one!

She was eating purina puppy chow. We called purina at the beginning of Nov 2008 to let them know that we had found mold in multiple bags of food. Their response was to offer us the price of one large bag of food. I took my puppy in for an autopsy and the cause of death was determined to be from mold. She had multiple organ failure and had hemoragged throughout her body. The sight of my poor baby gutted like a fish is something that I will never forget. Yes I watched, because I wanted to know exactly what kind of pain and suffering my treasured pup endured before her brave death. I have notified purina of my vet's findings and have had no response. If anyone is planning a lawsuit I would like to be included on the list, as I have more bullmastiff pups who are showing signs that they may be sick as well.

Last weekend my little poodle got very ill. She started throwing up at 7 pm Friday night and kept on all night long. By six am she could hardly walk. I rushed her to the vet and of course she was dehydrated and had elevated levals in liver enzymes. I almost lost her. Thank heavens for the great vets that were taking care of her and her strong spirit. She came home on Monday afternoon. Very tired but was doing much better. The vet sent home some special food and said for her to eat this for a couple of days and then she could go on to her normal food. They did lots of testing and could not find out what was the cause of it..and figured it was something she ate. Well last night I started her on her regurlar food...but only an 1/8 of a cup..wanted to ease her into it slowly. Well guess what..within 30 minutes she was throwing up again and it went on all night. I believe it is the food. She has been on this brand for 6 months and no problems...I just got a new bag just before she got sick...interesting...I phoned the store and that was a joke..said we will refund the money and have the food tested...lol Will do it but doubt I will get a response I am going to take it a step further and I am going to start a letter to hopefully be passed around the world...I will not stand by and let them get away with this. I will never buy another purina product again. Hang in there everyone and don't give up the fight Maggie Well folks…I am the newest complainer. Last weekend my little poodle got very ill.

The Vet thought she had an intestinal infection, gave her two shots of anti-biotics and oral antibiotics for home follow-up. I fed her Purina Dog Chow for about 4 weeks prior to her death. She had become bloated, had gas and drank more than usual just prior to her rapid demise. The Vet was shocked that she died from this "intestinal infection". I know that Haven died from me feeding her Purina Dog Chow. I am starting my search tomorrow to find a place to test the food. Haven has left behind a two and a four year old that will miss here dearly, not to mention me. I am outraged and absolutely sickened that this has happened. I killed my dog with a product that states that it is "healthy" and promotes a "long life" for my dog. Haven, my 7 year old healthy mutt died this morning after 3 days of watery, bloody diarrhea.

I was feeding my cats Nutro dry food and they were throwing up all over the place. So I went to www.consumeraffairs.com and was surprised how many complaints there were about Nutro products killing their animals. I threw all the Nutro away and just fed them Eukanuba. They stopped throwing up. After awhile I thought I would throw in a little variety and bought them purina dry food. Their reaction to the Purina was the same a Nutro. I ended throwing all that away as well. I went back to consumer affairs and there are plenty of complaints still going on about Purina Products. I wish I could make a food that my kids would eat. I have two cats now that are very sick. I also had a cat die when I was feeding them Nutro. The vets did not know what was wrong with her and I can not honestly say it was the Nutro, but I will not touch that product again. I am a foster Mom for a kitten rescue group.

I am also a dog breeder, not a puppy mill. I only have 8 dogs that I breed. I only feed my adults Purina Dog Chow, or I did until they all started getting sick. I will not feed mine that again. I have three brand new bags that I am throwing away. There are alot of sights on here where Purina is making dogs sick and in alot of cases, killing them.
