Beneful Dog Food: Complaints Say This Dog Food Poison Pets

There have Beneful Dog Food complaints all over the internet by many pet owners claiming that Beneful Dog Foods contain ingredients that are harmful and have possibly been poisoning pets all over the country for the past few months. Many pet owners are all in rage claiming that when they feed their dog with Beneful Dog Food, their pets show signs and symptoms that are quite alarming.

Recently, a report in Food Safety News stated there has been an actual lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The lawsuit was filed by a certain Frank Lucido, claiming their three dogs became ill (one died) after they fed them with Beneful Dog Food on December 2014 to January 2015. After having performed a post-mortem examination of the deceased English Bulldog, they seem to have found signs of internal bleeding in the dog's stomach as well as lesions in the liver, according to a statement in the Beneful Dog Food lawsuit. However, a Nestle Purina official claims that the lawsuit is completely "baseless" as they say that Beneful Dog Food ingredients are an original style dog food. They also said that similar allegations have been filed and dismissed by courts.  

Apart from this report, many angry pet owners have been voicing their complaints on various websites saying their dogs became ill after having eaten Beneful Dog Foods. They assert that Beneful Dog Food poisons their dogs and they want others to know what harm this dog food had caused to their pets. One consumer complaint in consumeraffairs.com says that, "My 10 year old chihuahua started vomiting and had very loose diarrhea the day after a new bag of Beneful Weight Management Dog Food."

Others say the same thing, "Our 100 lbs, 4-year-old American bulldog (Diesel), who has only eaten Beneful dog food, started acting sick, throwing up, peed in the house, was drinking lots of water and stopped eating end of January 2013 on the weekend."

To Nestle Purina, however, most of these complaints are nothing, but a way of discouraging their loyal Beneful Dog Food costumers and are just false statements trying to ruin them. Nothing is definitive and it is the court's decision that will have a say when it comes to the lawsuit.
