These Dog Foods Are Causing Mystery Illness, Here's What We Know | 2024

[@TheTattooedDogTrainer]

A Few Common Questions: Does this apply to cats as well? It appears there have been reports of cats having similar symptoms. In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your cat's food if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source. Does a general brand name like "Purina" or "Hills" mean I should avoid their various lines (ex. Purina Pro or Hill's Science Diet)? I believe that the use of a larger brand name like this indicates that multiple brands under that umbrella have been reported. In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your pets' food if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source. Should I avoid treats from these brands? In an abundance of caution, it may be worth swapping your pets' treats if you wish since it appears to be a contaminated ingredient source. I will be sure to update if there are major developments, but if you are interested in following this matter more closely, I would highly recommend following Dr. Morgan's facebook page for additional updates and resources.

I have started making my dogs food at home. Any good recipes that you like? I've been basically doing one recipe but swap out the protein, and or veg I use. I also use different toppers so they don't get bored. My corgi mix loves blueberries, but my jack russel/pit mix hates them and tries to hide them... Found that out the hard way.

[@gardengnome132]

Dr. Judy Morgan, from whom Skylar got all this information, has some great dog food recipes. I've been making her "pup loaf" for 7 years now. I have cavaliers (so does Dr. Morgan) and they tend to have allergies and some skin issues. I haven't had any of those problems since I started making their food. Plus they love it, they are excited when I'm baking it. I make a double batch and freeze it in containers to last 2-3 days once thawed. A double batch makes enough to feed our 2 - 20# dogs for a little over a month.@@jeannettebarnes2193

[@cherylinnorton5499]

Yes, it absolutely does apply to cats as well!!! Avoid the same brands for all their cat food, dry, wet, treats and all products.

[@ZenThruAnger]

I stopped trusting the whole "industrialized" food industry both human and animal. We can't trust what they say because they sneak ingredients into our foods, nor do we really know where these ingredients are sourced (i.e. China and the like) where they don't bother to test extensively for toxins and other contaminates, or where regulations are of low standards. This is foods for animals, look at some of the things they let human eat! They are adding everything from toxic food coloring to bug base proteins. We only get to find out about some of those things. Yeah, I rather be an alarmist than blindly poisoning my dog and myself.

I've fed my dog table food, mostly meat and fat, for years. Although his eyes are cloudy, he's fit, at 16 years old

[@ZenThruAnger]

Yeah, I never fully understood why many vets back in the day were adamant about not feeding table food and insisting only processed dog food or specialty dog food. I think they didn't know better themselves. I never had show-dogs or purebreds. I had rescued mutts. When you live paycheck to paycheck you don't throw away food. We mixed ours with the dry dog foods when I was growing up, most times it went to the chickens. Now I stay away from certain grains base dog foods, while growing some things to mix in my dog's food myself, like squash and papaya, while being careful not to add too many scraps that are process foods or loaded with sodium or anything that is unhealthy for dogs. But one thing all dogs need is MEAT and FAT. People that think they can make dogs vegans shouldn't own a dog.

[@janelllovin4983]

@@ZenThruAnger most American dogs are obese, they don’t need the fat. In general, when people are talking about ‘table scraps’ and ‘people food’ they know that most people only give their dogs the stuff they WON’T eat. That translates to chicken skins (almost entirely fat), the fatty line on steaks, etc. In addition, excess salt is significantly worse for dogs that it is for humans, and many spices are toxic to dogs. So if you’re feeding fat scraps that have been salted and/or seasoned, at a minimum you could be contributing to obesity and heart problems, and you could possibly do even more harm. If you’re feeding them ‘good’ people food without any salt or seasonings, there usually isn’t a problem as long as it isn’t so much that it upsets the nutritional balance in their diets.

I adopted a 5-year-old dog in 2020. Previous owner fed Acana and I continued (mixed with homemade). My dog began having blood in diarrhea in August last year (after 3 years of her adoption). We ran numerous tests, including blood stools which came back negative. Her health began to decline rapidly. Colonoscopy was done in October and we found out that she had colonic carcinoma and 10 inches of her large intestine were all carcinoma tissue. Impossible to remove. It was so difficult to say goodbye in such a short period of time. I still mourn and cry. I miss her. She was my dream dog. Thank you so much for sharing this information with the world.

This is what I think Chinese imports cause, because of the type of "preservative" they use in a lot of things.

9 years ago I adopted a very old dog. He was found out on the street , so no one knew how old he was at the time of adoption. I think he was around 8 maybe even 9. He was severely abused, in horrible shape and had terrible teeth . He refused to eat dog food. I tied all types of dog food, including fresh and frozen, and he did not like any of it. He forced me to give him table food, and guess what, he lived 7 more years , never got sick or had cancer and died from old age from kidney failure . My new dog only eats people's food, and his treats are made from human food

You'll also notice how garlic from China is less expensive than from other places. . . I stay away from Garlic coming from that country.

Yup, the WEF has voiced how pets create a lot of carbon and we know what that means. Purina exposed themselves for what they are doing, homesteaders like myself with chickens eating Purina chicken feed found their chickens stopped laying eggs. Tractor Supply and Purina were the common thread confirmed by thousands of concerned homesteaders who figured it out through forums. We all left them and went with organic and local grain suppliers. As soon as their diet changed the eggs returned better than last. All these companies happen to be owned by huge corporations like Black Rock/ WEF affiliates.

Medical Technologist. The pet food company does NOT need the entire bag or can of food to test it for pathogens or contamination. Mix it and send a sample, give a similar sample to your veterinarian, freeze the rest. Do NOT sign ANY form provided by the company forfeiting your right to sue. Submit a bill for veterinary care, threaten to sue if they do not pay it. With a deadline. Then give them the name of your lawyer at the end of the letter which indicates the date you submitted the sample of the contaminated food. Send it registered mail so they have to sign for it or decline it.

[@Master_Yoda1990]

No, never speak about your intent to sue. The reason for this is if you tell them your intent to sue you may be giving them an edge by giving them more time to prepare for the lawsuit and that intent or certain wording may be held as evidence of a frivolous lawsuit which would also hurt your chances. Just talk to a lawyer before you speak to anyone about a lawsuit.

[@Brabdog]

Lawyer. I agree with the other poster, NEVER threaten to sue. The company will just circle the wagons and you’ll get nowhere. Reality check: lawyers and litigation are very expensive. The potential recovery in cases like this is not large enough for most attorneys to take the case on a contingent fee basis; therefore, you will spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on attorney fees in excess of any possible award, unless you are part of a class action lawsuit, in which case the lawyers will make a nice fee as part of the recovery and each class member will receive a nominal sum.

If his medical-grade food is what caused this, I would be even more devastated than I already am.

I had a little dachshund who lived for years eating kibble with no health issues. At the time I had switched her to Pedigree because of the issues with dogs dying from eating Beneful. Then around age 12 or 13 she had a bout of pancreatitis, colitis, and gastritis. That was only the beginning. Over the next several years she would have a bout of the same symptoms. After the first instance, the vet never said what it was but he would treat her with the same meds and the symptoms were always the same with bloody diarrhea and vomiting. He put her on Hills Prescription Diet Digestive Care after the first bout and she was on it until she died. I wonder now if the food is what caused it. Her last bout was so bad and I knew whenever I took her to the vet that afternoon that she wouldn't be coming back home. It about killed me to have to let the vet send her over the Rainbow Bridge. I felt like I lost my child. She would have ben 16 years old in 2 weeks. Now I no longer trust any kibble after what I'm finding out on the FB group about the dog foods. I have a 1 year old chi mix girl and I'm working right now to slowly transition her to healthier refrigerated and some home prepared foods.

I give my dog canned Hills Prescription for pancretitis ( I stopped the kibble). I also use/include organic white meat chicken, (cooked veggies)carrots, sweet potato, brocolli florets, green beans, greens and I found dehydrated chicken treats ( no additives, only chicken) made in Canada. I found using fiber mixed in the food helps bulk up dog's stools. Also a vitamin and probiotic daily. Dog has been doing well since his diagnosis of pancretitis a year and a half ago. I may try some dry Nutro food since she recommended it and see how he does. I need to not overdo the veggies and cause diareahea. I cut the chicken in chunks, boil it, drain meat, put chicken chunks on tray or plate in freezer. After chicken is frozen you can put in zip lock bags and the chicken won't stick together so you can take out what you need every day. Another dog I had was scratching from terrible yeast but it wasn't controlled by benedryl and ocassional cortizone injections as per vet. Sardines worked (fish oil/omega 3 fatty acids) My dog was40lbs and got 1/2 can sardines "in water" daily and a good food Nutro "Salmon and Sweetpotato" no grain. It helped a lot !

I don't know if this is helpful or not...I adopted a puppy mill shih-tzu as a puppy. When she was around 6 years old she began having seizures. We couldn't figure out what was wrong. I went to the local feed store and mentioned it and they suggested it might be alfalfa. I had adopted a rabbit and rabbits eat alfalfa. Our dog was eating the rabbit poop. I took the rabbit back to rescue as I had no way to keep the rabbit poop away from the dog. Once our dog quit eating the rabbit poop (alfalfa) she quit having seizures. Using alfalfa in dog food is widespread. I cooked her food from scratch after that. There may be other ingredients that are common in dog food that is causing seizures in your dog and gradual elimination of individual ingredients is almost impossible.

I hope you realize that your dog has different nutritional needs than you do. If you’re feeding your dog the same as what you eat you are probably missing key nutrients. Make sure your dog is getting the organ meats that most humans don’t like and avoid. Liver, lungs, heart muscle, kidneys, etc… all are highly nutrient dense and have vitamins, aminos, and minerals not present in regular whole muscle. Feeding your pet a whole food diet is great if you can afford it and have the knowledge to ensure they are getting all of the right vitamins, minerals, and aminos. Without the right balance you can do just as much harm as buying cheap processed foods.

Blue Buffalo is a hot food for high energy dogs. If you give it to calmer or even smaller dogs, it can cause itching, lack of appetite, hair loss, and gut discomfort.

I chose a fairly expensive one due to the healthy sounding and transparently sourced ingredients. Now I’ve adopted my original dog’s litter-mate/brother. With an extra mouth to feed, I was thinking of compromising and adding a cheaper food to the expensive one. Like one I could pick up at the supermarket when I didn’t have time to go to the pet store. Your video has changed my mind. I purchased “the list” you linked to. I am pleased that my first choice of the expensive food was one of the good ones and it is on the list.

[@mercedesb2299]

This same thing happened back in 2008, 2009, somewhere around there...if this goes the same way, it will eventually spread beyond Purina. It wound up being a supplier which the vet in your story touches on. I was a practicing CVT at the time and I remember that it started with a few brands and by the time they tracked it back to the supplier it had encompasses most pet food brands ALL going through the same supplier. NONE of the pet food companies pulled their food pre-emptively. Every single one waited until reports of dogs getting sick from their food became plentiful, even after they should have known their food was likely contaminated. This went on for months and implicated most major manufacturers. I will say there were two brands that I know for sure we're not involved back then, and because I was in the industry, I dug deep into both brands and was assured that they would not be involved in a mess like this because of the way they source their ingredients/ make their food. However, one was Royal Canin and it is on the list this time 🤔😡 The other is likely still a good one though 1. Bil-Jac: It is a weird little dog food brand made in America, completely. It is made in small batches and it looks more like rabbit pellets than dog food. They have it at Pets Mart, and I talked to them directly during the last dog food crisis and they said they only source from here in America and they have personal relationships 2ith all their suppliers. The downside of Bil-Jac is that it is made in relatively small batches and they don't have the ability to scale up to mass production (which is why it is likely safe) but that means it can't support a massive uptick in customers. Still, my PetsMart always had a few bags in stock because Bil-Jac is more of a "feed store" or farm supply type brand and few average consumers know it even exists. The second caveat is that Bil-Jac is low grain, and it is soft-cooked, not hard-baked. Both of those are good things for digestibility and nutrition, and that is why I was feeding this obscure little brand BUT that makes for a soft rabbit pellet type kibble that is not as shelf-stable as most commercial dry foods. You can't store it in the heat , etc.

[@astrologymemphis]

True. It was around 2007 or 2008 that nearly every pet food was contaminated with an ingredient sourced from China called melamine. It made the food appear to have more protein than it had in reality. Nearly EVERY BRAND contained it because all but one or two at the time bought their ingredients from one source. It may still be that way; I don't know. I lost one cat and another had to be hospitalized ($800) for about a week. She was saved and lived to be 17. I will start feeding my cats canned mackerel, tuna and chicken now, but they get bored with the same flavors very quickly. For some reason canned salmon isn't good for cats and although it's their favorite flavor cat food, they won't touch it. I will try fresh fish but they're spoiled and want gravy. Now I'm at a loss.

She is incredibly healthy, my vet actually recommended NutroSource over their science diet food sold at the clinic! Betty also gets carrots, fruits and scrambled eggs (no seasonings at all), yes, NutroSource is a bit pricey, around $25 for a 5lb bag, but she's a 4.5 lb Chihuahua so her food lasts her about a month, which I find reasonable. Our Betty is my Service Dog/Diabetic Alert Dog so good nutrition is an absolute must for her! My previous Service Dog was also a Chihuahua, we lost him at 5 mths due to liver failure (it was from a birth defect). We were devastated at his loss. I'm a Dog Trainer and have trained dogs since I was young. I did animal rescue through the local Humane Society and the local rescues where I lived, all my fosters were AKC trained and left my home to go to their forever home's fully trained. I have trained Service Dogs, but my 2 service dogs for Diabetic Alert Service have been my pride and joys and my personal alert dogs! I have been amazed at the ease of training and natural abilities of the Chihuahua breed, I am now a firm believer in the Chihuahua breed! I am a true Believer in the NutroSource Pet Foods, I only wish I had known about it when my first Service Dog, Chihuahua, was still living, perhaps it could have helped with his liver failure. But my current SD Betty is healthy, smart and strong and our family Vet is amazed at her condition and intelligence, all she attributes to her diet and the NutroSource dog food! I can't recommend it enough! Right now she's on the puppy formula and I plan to feed it until she is a yr old or when my vet tells me to advanced to the NutraSource adult food.

I feed my allergy suffering dog a combination of unique protein foods (avoiding chicken), so mix several different brands in a combo meal so he doesn't get tired of his food. I have been using the Acana Whole Grains blend as one of his foods and I did notice the past two months that he isn't as keen on finishing his meal as usual, and his stool is sometimes loose. I'm trading the Acana (sad; it was such a good brand, which he enjoyed) back to Honest Kitchen as the addition to the Earthborn mix that is the basis of his food.

Usually, allergies are to the grain and other fillers.

Thank you for this video. About 3 months ago my otherwise healthy Maltese developed a terrible case of diarrhea. It took two weeks and over $600 dollars in vets bills to bring him back to health. I was feeding him Hills and had just bought a new bag, I would also mix his kibble with a bit of homemade broiled chicken so my husband and I assumed it was the chicken he had become allergic to. The vet put him on low fact wet food from Royal Canine plus a bunch of medicines and antibiotic. I took my baby back to the vet couple of weeks ago for a bad cold and his weight had dropped to almost a pound, being a small breed I thought it was a huge drop. I told the vet I was going to start cooking for him, he was all against it, he said I wouldn’t know the right nutrients he needed it in his food in order to stay healthy. I was cooking homemade for him when I first got him and due to lack of time switched him to kibble. I looked at the vet, nodded in agreement, paid my huge bill, came home and next day I went shopping to make homemade food for him. I have learned a lot through videos like this one and others, I watch a nutritionist from the UK, and an American vet, here on You Tube, I still need to learn more but my little boy is doing good, I threw away the food with the issue so I have no evidence but I thank God I can help in keeping my dog healthy.

I usually put a pork or beef roast in the crock pot, slow cook that overnight, add in rice, diced carrot, apple, green beans. Just stuff I know they can eat. No seasoning. They never complain when there is roast beef & blueberry or apple in their bowl. I wouldn't touch it, but they love it. I have to do this about once a week to keep my three dogs fed, but they range in age from 12-16. It gives me a bit of peace to know I'm not importing poison in dog food for my old boys.

[@jennymartinez4597]

I’ve read through the entire list provided by Dr. Morgan ‘Who Owns your pets food’. I don’t see Stella & Chewy anywhere on it. I’m curious as to how they got on the list of bad foods??? I can only add that my Dog has eaten Stella & Chewy for several years with no problems.

[@skinnypete3104]

I was thinking of switching over to this brand so curious too

[@MadCheshireHat]

It was recommended until people were reporting the same symptoms as the other foods, so it's no longer on the good list.

[@ngarci8040]

What’s our options for good quality alternatives…!?!

[@meowsparkles537]

I had my dog eating the Kibbles and Bits dry kibble, he had random seizures. I took him to the vet and the vet could not help him because he did not have consecutive seizures. I started to research if maybe he was allergic to something in his food. I changed his food to FreshPet food and he was rid of the random seizures forever. The more Natural the food the better the animal is as nature intended.

[@BrandyMartin-c9d]

So sorry your doggie was having seizures😢I just started my new doggie on kibbles n bits. Thank you for your information, I'm going to switch now.

[@AbsoluteLeeNot]

Thanks so much for this, and especially for including a raw food option in your brand recommendations at the end. I’ve been feeding my girl Hill’s canned (sensitive stomach), but mostly Instinct (kibble w/freeze dried raw pieces, freeze dried raw toppers, & frozen raw chicken bites). She’s been on all of this for a while and I don’t see any physical issues if I don’t add in random treats, BUT recently she has been extra aggressive, more than I’ve ever seen her before. Not saying it’s due to her food, but it’s good to know I might not be feeding what’s best for her, so I gotta look into a change. And a vet behaviorist. And how to clone myself so I can work like 4 jobs to afford all this. 😭😆

My Rottweillers got very sick on Optimizer pellets. 3 years ago started feeding meat and vegetables. Both dogs are 11 going on 12 and in excellent health.

[@txlady1049]

Thank you for this information! I just found out about this issue today. I have two dogs, five cats. One of my dogs has been on Royal Canin Veterinary Urine formula for about a year now. The other I've been feeding Purina One Lamb and Rice. My cats eat Whole Hearted (Petco store brand) Salmon dry, and Friskies canned food for breakfast. The dog that's on Purina One, is off his food, not all the way, but he is supposed to get 3 1/2 cups a day, and he's eating about 1-2 cups a day, sometimes nothing at all. He does still take treats, including his nightly dental treat (yes, it's Purina!), but I'm going to switch him to a different food now. One question -- has anyone heard anything about Royal Canin? I haven't seen it on the list of reported brands, but I'm worried. She's on this because she developed bladder stones, Hills has a formula as well, but she doesn't eat it. And I don't know what is 'prescription' about this food, in order to make a homemade food that would help her. Edit: disregard my question, I went back and saw Royal Canin on the list of reported brands.

[@krisniznik3953]

I foster a lot of cats and everyone likes Royal Canin better than Hills. I think they just taste better.

[@jackierineer7521]

Royal Canin IS on the list of foods making pets sick.

[@Bee-Kind-Baker]

So, is there a good, safe dog food, available in the U.S.?

[@CupidsCrackhouse]

I go by a rule that dog food is around $2.00 per pound. Chicken, chicken liver, beef liver, tuna, ground Turkey and ground beef all around $2.00 per pound with exception of grnd beef given only 1-2 times a week. I mix rice, green beans or peas with chicken or beef broth or bone broth (low sodium) Mixed with a little dry dog food (about 10% at the most)

My older dog grew up eating Beneful and started urinating blood. We had to put him on a prescription diet to keep him from developing kidney stones. He lived to be 14, but I refuse to feed Purina to my other dogs now. Thank you for this list.

[@paulapogorzelski1965]

Although kibble seems to be at the heart of the problem, several months ago my dog who has been on canned dog food for the past year, would begin vomiting within an hour or so of having a newly opened can of food. In each instance, they were major brands (Iams, Blue Buffalo, etc.) which she had had before without a problem. The first 2x she also had her heartworm pill right after. So I became suspicious of those and stopped them till I could solve the problem. One morning, within an hour of waking even before she had eaten anything she went into a reclusive trembling state. I spent the day trying to find a vet to see her. When I shared this with a friend who for years has been nursing her cat with advance kidney disease, she remarked that my dog's symptoms sounded as if she had been poisoned. That was unlikely given that all her outdoor exposure is at the end of a leash and indoors, given her maturity she is not all that inquisitive, nothing toxic is left accessible to her and my cleaning solutions are natural vinegar based. I had begun to question whether she might be allergic to some ingredient that is commonly used to formulate canned dog foods. After the last incident, I stopped feeding any canned food and have been feeding her turkey, rice & carrot and occasional plain yogurt till I can find a manageable homemade alternative. She has also begun refusing nearly all kibble type treats which she previously liked. The vet offered samples of Hills and Royal Canin. But after learning about how widespread this pet food problem is. I am not inclined to invest in anything but homemade.

Thankyou for talking about this. There are so many coverups out there trying to keep things like this quiet, so the public dosen't know until it gets deep, and could affect their pets. I tried telling some people, and they don't even want to hear about it, and some people are thankful to know.

I feed Stella & chewy pellets dog food only as a treat x5 pellets per day for small chihuahua. I feed feed Freshpet & I have not seen a recall since 2022 on freshpet. So I assume I should discontinue Stella&Chewys dog food pelletts straight away? Scary.

I just put my dog down because she was losing weight and, refusing to eat, then started vomiting and diarrhea, she pooped blood she was on purina one. I changed her to hill science, but she wasn’t eating. She was such a good dog. This was on January 23, 2024

[@DeborahMullins-m3t]

What about cats? I just lost a 6 yr old healthy indoor spayed female cat. 8 months ago she started diarrhea. Got so bad food would go straight through her undigested. Massive weight loss, ran every test vet could think of, found nothing. She was on Blue Buffalo and Hill's Science diet, with occasional Fancy Feast. Lost her brother to internal cancer at the same time she was sick. He had tumors growing all in his body. He was on the same food.
