We are aware of the concerns about Purina foods causing medical issues in pets. We reached out to the company to try getting some information about what might be going on. Below is the response we got back from them and wanted to share it with everyone. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to Purina or the clinic and we'll do our best to answer them!
"Thank you for contacting Purina for Professionals. We appreciate you taking the time to contact us directly regarding this matter.
Please beware of online rumors claiming there are issues with Purina products β these false statements may be creating unnecessary stress for pet parents. There are no health or safety issues with any of our products, and all of our products can continue to be fed with confidence.
At Purina, we take pride in feeding 46 million dogs and 68 million cats every year. The quality, safety, and nutrition of our products are our highest priority, and we take feedback from concerned pet owners and veterinarians very seriously. Our Quality Assurance team leads more than 100,000 quality checks EVERY DAY across our factory network to ensure our products are safe at every stage of the process β from when our ingredients arrive at our factories to when we ship our final food and treats out to retailers and consumers. Our comprehensive program ensures the foods you feed your pets, and that we feed our own, are safe.
Again, we thank you for taking the time to better understand the situation. We also recommend researching the source of these posts. Some are well-intentioned pet parents who are genuinely concerned and trying to be helpful, while others may be trying to create chaos and distrust of certain brands as an opportunity to sell their products. Either way, please know that if there is a confirmed issue with any Purina product, we will be sharing that information with our consumers first. Should have additional questions, please let us know. Weβre here to help you and your pet(s).
Thanks again for choosing Purina. We value your business."
