Purina needs to have a little bit more consideration for those with pets and the issue of "killer pet food"
I just called into their 1-800# and find that the Customer service staff have closed for the day. I think that's sad, as customers need to talk to directly to a person / rep of the company during such a recall. Secondly, this is a crisis / incident and I am pretty sure that they can staff customer service peeps on a 24/hr basis. At least, till this all blows over and recall completes. I spent, like 45 minutes researching ad making sure Mr.Socks was not getting bad chow. and gourmet stuff tonight. Poor bugger did not know why I was not feeding him, when I got home !!
Update : I just spoke to their PR Specilist Jenine LaFayette, PR Communications Specialist, Nestlé Purina PetCare and they are doing all that they can to support customer calls. Kudos to Jenine for to taking the time to explain and statisfy my concerns and questions. She will pass along my suggestion of a 24x7 service, (during crisis mode)- hopefully this will help other peeps too !!
Update#2 : Click on the links below for details from the manufacturers of brands, flavors and production batches affected by the recall.

Hill's Prescription Diet -- cat products, Purina -- dog products, Sunshine Mills -- dog products
Just wondering if I should stop giving my cat Friskies wet chicken food as it contains Wheat Glutin? The beef and seafood do not show any W.G. Thanks

Is it safe to feed by Cat Purina LUV as I see it contains wheat gluten, both the chicken and Salmon Flavour?
For what I can read the Purina Friskies does not contain wheat gluten, is that correct?

yes to the best of my knowledge Purina.ca wet food products for CAT's are not effected. Double check the Site, as there has been more recalls.. just for saftey measure !!

Please spell my dog's name correctly. It is Chaucer. He was named after Geoffery Chaucer who wrote Cantebury Tales.

I hope I'm writing to the proper customer service. This is in regard to the new Friskies "Select" canned pet food that is appearing on the market. The meat is mixed with "barley" or "brown rice" and garden greens. I can tell you from past experiences, none of my 7 cats will touch the "so-called" natural ingredients which gives me the feeling that I will need to look elsewhere for meaty wet food. I have been a Friskies user for years and hate seeing you cater to the so-called California natural food person. Just remember, you are feeding cats who are carnivores, not their masters who are frantically seeking "all natural" in their own food. This California lifestyle shouldn't be forced on the poor cat.

Dale, you have not reached the customer service area of Purina. I am just a blogger and cat lover.
Speak to their PR Specialist Jenine LaFayette, PR Communications Specialis, she will be able to give you some insight onto who to contact

I need to know how to contact Purina! My dog is deathly ill and the only thing the vet can find is that her dog food is bad - she won't even touch it any more, and her kidneys are failing, she's peeing all over, isn't eating but is vomiting, and nothing is working! She's only 3 years old, a boxer, and has been tested for other diseases - I want to send them this food so they can test it and talk to someone before she dies!!

I have a question about the Purina indoor cat formula. I tried this formula and both of my healthy cats began to loose weight. The same thing happened to a friends cat.
Has anyone else had the same problem. What's up with this formula? It seems to lack protein.

the cat is so cute! is it really true that PURINA has bad food Im a new owner of 2 kittens and im just a bit worried.
A cat clinic, or veterinarian clinic, is a place where your cats health is cared for when it is suffering from some type of illness or needs to undergo surgery. This article will discuss some of the internal parasites that can be treated at a cat clinic.
