Moldy Food
I am extremely reluctant to ever buy this dog food again and I am advising you all to do the same! After buying a 44.4lb bag, I found several big chunks of molded dog food in the bag. This is NOT ok by no means!!!! Next time you buy this dog food, be aware!

Unexpected change in ingredients
Purina changed the ingredients unexpectedly in their dog food and now my dog is experiencing diarrhea and now vomiting. Not only that but I have an entire bag of dog food that is now going to waste so we're both miserable now.

Dogs won't even eat it. Nor cats.
Neither of my dogs will eat this. I bought a huge bag of it and now it just sits to waste. I tried to entice them with wet food on top, but they will just pick around this brand of food everytime. Such a shame and waste of money.

My dog REFUSES to eat + Bad stomach aches...
My dog will not eat this dog food and has poor digestive issues after eating. My husky does not seem to like this dog food/chow, I'd even try to mix in wet food that she likes but she picks out the wet food and deliberately avoids the chow! And after I finally manage to get her to eat the dog chow, she ends up getting bad gas, diarrhea, and stomach aches. This chow is horrible.

This food has made both of my dogs very sick
This food has made both of my dogs very sick. One has bloody diarrhea, the other suffered a severe seizure. Since this food was the only variable introduced and the fact that both have reacted like they were poisoned, I can only come to the conclusion that this food is to blame.

One of my dogs broke out in a red rash both itches
I've always had my dog's one Purina dog food. One of my dogs is 14 the other one is 6 years old. Well I changed it to this flavor for something different in flavor, since they were getting tired of the chicken. I've noticed my 6 years old dog started to break out in a rash all over his skin, started to turn read and around his mouth. Both dogs started to scratch and itch I will go back to the other Purina healthy weight dog food

Made our dogs sick
Made both our male and female dogs sick , they had diarrhea for a few days until this food got out their system. Buy with caution. Seems like a low grade of Purina brand. If you read some of the reviews here a few people say the same thing about it making their dogs sick .
