    A class-action lawsuit claims that the popular Beneful brand of dog food from Nestle Purina is killing dogs.

    Plaintiff Frank Lucido alleges that one of his three dogs died and two others became seriously ill because of the dry "kibble" food, which the lawsuit blames on unsafe levels of propylene glycol and mycotoxins, The former is an FDA-approved additive that also happens to be a chemical used in antifreeze

    Legal Newsline reports the suit references at least 3,000 online complaints of dogs becoming sick or dying. Internal bleeding, liver malfunction, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration, and weight loss are among the "consistent symptoms" mentioned, per the suit (which names these 8 kinds of Beneful).


    Be careful what you're feeding your dog. It might be a load of horse manure but better safe than sorry.

    All you need to do is look at the kibble and you can tell it's crap ...you can't tell that it might be deadly though :eek:

    Much simpler rule to keep is = Can be bought in a normal supermarket? Banned!

    not quite true ...the Lidl premium dried catfood for example is very good and won some German consumer magazine test a few years ago
