I was also feeding my pitbull beneful, after the news came out I switched her to sensative stomach eagle pec or eagle pack i forget. Either way she slowed down on how much food she was eating, she is gaining weight like crazy and her personality has changed.

With out a doubt it could be the food.

I actually had my dogs get sick on blue buffalo and I'd been feeding it for a year.

I don't know if it was a bad bag or what, But I will not feed it again.

I'm switching mine to this after I finish this bag. I've never had a problem feeding beneful but am switching to be safe.

IAMES is a very good dog food. You won't pick up a whole lot out in the yard.

RunNbarrels - 2015-03-12 11:39 AM I feed Nutri Source and love it. A little more expensive, but what it does for your pets is awesome.

That's what we feed our monsters too.  I've never had to switch them out other then from Adult to Sr. and they look great on it.

Our weiner dog had the same thing your dog does, she had a bone stuck in her intestines!!!!! I hefty vet bill later and she is fine!!! I guess one of the kids likely gave her a bone! I feed IAMS, it is the best dog food you can buy!!! I used to show dobermans many years ago and it really brought out the best in all my dogs. Now I just own a weiner, but she is shiny and happy!!!!!!

I feed Nutro Source to my lab and 1 french bulldog, the other frenchie gets Fromm surf and turf. look at the ingredients of the food. U want real meat as the main ingredients. U can also order food from Mrchewy.com. they will also auto deliver. Any food in walmart or grocery store is junk.

You should really google the class act lawsuit against purina.

http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2015/02/lawsuit-claims-purinas-benefu...


Snopes disproves a lawsuit from 2007 but this new one was filed Feb 5 2015. The current lawsuit states that there were 2 other previous lawsuits filed before this most recent one.


Rumors of beneful being unhealthy for pets have been going around since the feed first came out.

Its really not a very healthy food for dogs if you look at the ingredients, but to each his own I guess.

First off.... "dog Food Advisor" is a website....many of you all reference it....but where are they getting their info for the ranking, and who is behind it?  I've done the homework and look at it as a novel opinion website....it's not science or nutrition based IMHO

beneful is not a great dog food IMHO.  I wouldn't feed it due to its ingredients.....but, with that said:

on the lawsuits......anyone can sue anyone for anything.....their proof to sue does not need to be anything more than a check to their attorneys they are paying to represent them.

im uncomfortable with all of the claims made against this food.....but they can't find why it's making dogs sick.

I am a big fan of the Purina/Land O' Lakes dog food. Their Infinia and Exclusive brands are all I feed and my dog looks great and is healthy.
