For those dog lovers among us, this will likely be irritating news. It seems that lots of Purina’s wet dog food brands are coming off the shelves for scoring badly on nutritional value…
Nestlé-Purina has issued a voluntary recall of many of their wet dog food tubs. The company discovered that the items do not contain the recommended amount of vitamins and minerals. The recall affects Beneful Prepared Meals, Beneful Chopped Blends, and Pro Plan Savory Meals.
In a press release, the company states:
Although most of the recalled product contains all of the vitamins and minerals your dog needs, we recommend that you discard any of the affected product you may have, and we’ll issue you a refund.
They also state that the lack of proper vitamins and minerals could pose an issue for dogs who eat these products as their only meal source for more than several weeks. If this is the case for your pup, you may want to consult your veterinarian.

My vet recommends Science Diet and Nutra. I have two Welsh Corgi's and one needs a special diet due to bladder stones. I feed her Nutra, and the other Science Diet. They seem to thrive on this and have never had a problem since I switched brands. I used to feed them Purina dog food, but found out a lot of dog food sold under the Purina brand have ingredients that come from China.
Too bad. One of these looks and smells like good quality corned beef hash. Had the dog and me fooled.
