Has any one had problems with Beneful brand food?

I was just curious because my mom bought this dry food for her dogs and they both had adverse reactions to it. I notified the company and they sent me some BS thing about transitioning dogs to the food slowly (which she did) and gave me coupons for a product my mom will never buy again.

    That's the worst brand on the market; besides Ol' Roy.

    It makes my dog throw up, plus he has corn allergies.

    It has a lot of corn.

    I contacted them too and they sent me the SAME exact thing- because THEY DON'T CARE.

  • No! I would never feed Beneful, or any of the other garbage foods, that they sell in Grocery Stores and stores like Walmart or Walgreens to my dogs. If you knew what ingredients they put into these dog foods, I'm sure your mom would not want to feed commercial food to her dogs! The foods I'm talking about are foods like Beneful, Purina, Pedigree, Eukanuba, Alpo, Mighty Dog, Kibbles and Bits, Iams and Science Diet, Pro Plan, just to name a few. Here is an article that will tell you everything about what disgusting ingredients that they put in Commercial Dog Food.

    Tell your mom to swith to a Higher Quality food. These foods are healthier for dogs and she will have less visits with the vet! They may be a little more expensive, but in the long run, her dogs will not be eating as much of the Higher Quality food, because they will be getting all the nutrition they need and they don't need to eat as much to fill up, so you end up saving money and you have a healthier dog. I think your mom will see a big difference in her dogs. Here is a list of some good High Quality foods, that your mother can try on her dogs. She still needs to slowly transition her dogs over to the new food.

    Innova

    Evo

    Merrick

    Wellness

    California Natural

    Blue Buffalo

    Natural Balance

    Chicken Soup For The Dog Lovers Soul

  • Beneful is crapola food!

    Tell your mum to stop feeding her dogs that.

    Check out http:/dogfoodanalysis.com for the best kind of food for her dogs.

    Otherwise consider feeding raw! Its much cheaper and heaps healthier

    thats some of the nastiest crap food you can feed a dog. all the additives and corn and crap in it.

    Find something higher in quality ..while it may cost a bit more upfront now it will save a long list of vet bills later
