This brand in general made multiple animals of mine sick, from dogs to cats. While it may be safe to eat, it didn't go well with my dogs especially. I'll be looking for an improved dog food from purina.

Purina is one of the poorest dog food options out there. Their food gave my dog countless stomach issues to the point where he would barely eat. As soon as I switched brand away from Purina, he was back to normal and I will never go back or recommend!

I gave my puppy Purina brand Puppy Chow last week for the first time, and my dog subsequently had diarrhea for 2 days straight. My dog never had any problems with dog food before, so I have to assume it was because of this particular brand.

Got this when I was in a pinch to get my pup dog food, and once I read what was in it, I was so upset I fed it to him. I rather of made him chicken and rice.

The food quality is not great, uses a lot of fillers in their food which makes dogs fats
