Bugs in Chewy's dog food, I need names of new food...

**Aspen and Misty** · 10-20-2002, 03:02 PM

Hey Guys! We always buy Chewy Purina One puppy formula but a copuple of days ago when we bought it we opened it up and there were alot of worms and otehr types of bugs in side of it. ::cringes::. What kind of food do you feed your dog? Or what kind of food is a really good puppy food? We are going tomrrow to get some new stuff but I may not keep him on the kind we buy tomrrow. So.. I am going to take a poll and see what kind of food ya'll buy your dogs.I'm not goign to make a poll up there because there are more then 10 brands of food so it would just help me out alot if you could please put your dog food brand, or the brand you reconmend below.

Thanx,
Ashley

I feed Nebo Nutro large breed puppy. You can buy regular Nutro Natural Choice puppy food too. It's great stuff....Nebo loves it. And he hasn't had any of the "issues" with soft poo since I changed it. lol. His coat is really shiney too.

Pdigree dog food. It comes in good-size bags and is built for all dogs. Or you could try Pedigree Little Champions if he is that small of a puppy that he has to have the chewy kind of food and not the hard food.

I agree on NUTRO being a great brand.

I use Canidae, for the large dogs and Purina One for Pepper.
Nutro is a very good food too.
Ashley, their might have been a little
opening in the bag you bought, and possibly some moisture got in and bugs laid eggs etc. If the bag was not stored or
properly handled after it left the manufacturer.
I would not give up on Purina One if you like it,
but I would complain to the store where you bought it from.

(I always check experations dates and make sure the bag
is perfectly sealed before I purchase the dog food
bag from the Pet store)

Just takes a tiny hole for bugs to get in.
I would have been grossed out if I saw that.
I once bought wild bird feed and I stored the left
over feed in a non air tight container.
I ended up with little moths flying all over the house. : (
I now store all my pets food in air tight containers.

I use the same as you Purina One ( for large breed puppies) and I also had the same problem happen to me one time so I called them and they said that the worms would not hurt him but the lil worms can come from the warehouse where the stores keep it stocked. ( Mine came from Wal Mart) I wasnt about to feed him that food so I dumped out out and Purina sent me coupons for 2 free 20lb bags and a bunch of 2.00 off coupons. I only ran into this problem 1 time and I still feed him Purina One. He loves it and is a healthy and growing boy!
The Number to call is on the bag and If you call them make sure you have the infested bag there as they will need some numbers off of it!

Well we dumped it into a bag and there was all this net matterial, worms, moths (which I think is our fault

) but I don't trust them. Expecialy if you have rnu into that problem. I am still waiting to see what more people say. I wanna make sure he has some good food, nothing that will harm him.

Ash

PS: Please keep the names comeing, I mean you can take 2 seconds adn type the name of your dog food can't ya?

We use Exclusive and LOVE it. When we got Ryu he was limping around and having trouble with the back legs and he's already walking better and no longer limping. Great stuff.

I use Eukanuaba and Iams for the dogs Eukanuba for Smudge Iams for Winter. Winter has to have Iams because the Eukanuaba was trashing her coat. I've heard good things about Nutro though I think I have some friends that feed it to their dogs actually.

**Cookiebaker** · 10-20-2002, 07:21 PM

We use Purina One also & love it. I know a lot of people aren't crazy about it, but it works for us.

**sammi** · 10-20-2002, 10:01 PM

Just started using Nutro Max. Bugs, worms ect. can happen even with the best brands of dog food or people food. Take it back to the store or call the toll free # for a refund.

**trisha0503** · 10-20-2002, 11:09 PM

I am also using Nutro for Missy, and it's really good!

**delidog** · 10-20-2002, 11:40 PM

I use Purina One (diet for deli....Large Puppy for Joey)
like some others said....it is not the manufactureers' fault...just the way it is handled....
check dates on bag....and get yourself an airtight container...(i have one that holds 30 lbs. from petsmart...19.95) and its' on wheels!!!

We feed raw now, but when we fed kibble we used Nutro Natural Chicken and Rice. Sleet's allergic to anything with Lamb in it. When Earle was a pup, he got Eukanuba large breed and did very well on it. The shelter we foster for gives us Hy-Ration. We don't feed very much of it, but the dogs love it. Our guys think kibble is a treat, not dinner!
