Dog Food Advisor Removes Purina Recommendations | Weekly Pet Roundup
Earlier this year, we let you know about a concerning trend that pet owners have been reporting: Sick and deceased pets, assumed to be related to pet food, mostly Purina.
At the time, most people blew it off and called these pet parents liars, said that it was all "fake news"
Now, Susan Thixton from Truth About Pet Food has released the data obtained through a FOIA request. The pet parent reports to the FDA skyrocketed in January 2024... most of them were Purina products.
Dog Food Advisor took that information to heart and has decided to remove all Purina products from their recommended dog food pages. Reviews will remain on the website.
Join Isabel & I as we discuss what is going on and our hopes for the future.
