Fair. Though one of the main people quoted on everything literally said her vet thinks her dog has a tumor. So I really don't trust the credibility of that FB page.
It’s coming from a FB group called Saving Pets One @ a Time. The owner of the group started the page after her dog died eating Hill’s 2 months before a recall 5 years ago. It is apparently a holistic group as the vets who mod it are holistic vets. All the foods they recommend are Raw or Freeze dried raw foods. They trash any and all commercial foods. The Dr Judy Morgan a holistic vet is now saying it’s not just Purina that other brands are having the same issue. They won’t say what brands just says make sure you follow the group. They are creating hysteria for many pet parents.
I’m definitely keeping an eye on it since my boys eat Purina Pro Plan Urinary wet & Purina One+Plus Urinary dry. Seeing everything from that facebook grdid send me in a panic. Cause if a recall happens then idk what I am going to do. Scooter threw up on Hills and neither one would touch Royal Canin. The blue Buffalo urinary food isn’t in my area and I don’t like that brand anyway. My only option left is IAMS urinary for dry but idk what I would do for wet.
oh fair enough I’m just saying what the group was that started it. All of us pet parents have had different experiences for different foods for our babies.
I did warn my wife about the hullabaloo for the same reason. It was a couple years ago there was a food in Europe causing issues and the deaths were in the thousands. So if Purina was causing all those serious issues my thoughts are that in a big area like North America there would be much more than "800 effected pets".
I just store the bag in a basic 6Qt
I remember that in Europe cause it was on the news here. I have the same thoughts if it was indeed the food more then hundreds of pets would be sick. Although majority of the pets sick are dogs more then hundreds of dogs would be sick. The FB group(which I need to stop looking at really) is now saying it’s across many brands now the brands being Royal Canin, Merrick, Pure Balance, Instinct and Stella & Chewy’s brands but more brands to be added. They are causing hysteria and panic among multiple brands now. No matter what pet food you look up there is always going to be someone that said the food made their pet throw up. It just means that the food didn’t agree with their pet. Pets are like us in some way what may be fine for some will not agree with others.
They talked about that in a youtube video. The problem could be affecting more than that one brand which means it’s a supplement issue from a supplier since one supplier could provide to more than one company. Or it could be a problem in the production because different brands can be produced in the same facility.
Cause some of their products are actually good. I know people hate the company for some shady stuff but really no company is innocent all have done shady stuff. Just because the head people are bad doesn’t mean the products they make are. Plus in many places that is all that’s available.
Because they are one of the few lines that have longitudinal testing. Or because they don't put peas and legumes in their foods (current studies underway to see if legumes cause heart disease in cats), recently was shown to in dogs AFTER the foods had been on the market for years. Or because it's all that's affordable or all that's available, or or or.

If the question is, is the product being out of date, no matter where the product comes from the company, Chewy, Amazon, your local pet store, the expiration date will be printed on the bag/cans. This date is put on before the product leaves the company and if someone removes it or tampers with it, that will be obvious. It's up to the customer to take the time to find and read the expiration date no matter how they buy the product.
