I used BB since 2007 and recently found out that MARS is buying BB out. Pets are getting sick, quality control issues and it's a shame. I had faith in this food and it did wonders for years but no more BB. I'm switching to Nature's Varierty. MARS will run this food into the ground..wait and watch.

As I stated about the other Canidae food I bought from Amazon with this one, BOTH made BOTH my labs sick!!!!! BOTH had diarrhea while eating these dog foods! As soon as I stopped these foods, gave them rice for and chicken for a meal, then a different food they have been fine! I just wasted over $70-$80 I don't have and can't afford and made my 2 labs sick which is worse! Not sure if this is fake food or bad food or old or what, but I'll never buy it again and wary of purchasing food from Amazon all together!

I have 2 pups that are littermates.  I purchased 2 tests and sent them in.  I was completely surprised when the results came back showing one of the pups as lab/boxer/shitzu and the other pup as collie/husky/novia scotia duck dog.  I called DNA My Dog and asked how in the heck results could be completely different on brothers.  They asked me to email them a photo of the 2 pups.  I have posted this photo below and it's quite obvious they are brothers.  So DNA My Dog emails me and says the samples must have been contaminated and that they would redo the tests at their expense.  2nd set of results come back completely different-UNBELIEVABLE-these results were worse then the 1st set of results-they had one of my pups labeled as basenji/boxer/collie and my 2nd pup as Australian shepherd/border collie/and some other weird breed.  LOOK AT THE PHOTO I HAVE PROVIDED AND YOU WILL SEE DNA MY DOG SHOULD BE REPORTED FOR UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICE.

Please read thid carefully, I bought this product upon breeder recommendation and kept my puppy in it for 6 long and painfull months. My dog had mushy stools at least 3 times a week could figure out what it was. Always thirsty amd this food would take a whole 24 hours to leave her body. Always super thirsty.
The bag size is only 25 pounds, and a little pricey compare to a 35 pound bag most good bramds do. Please watch the signs and buy something else.
Now i use Purina... I promise the difference is insane. She poops very little size and she no longer struggles with digestion.
Beware this is a very hard consistency product.... hard to diggest comapare to Purina pro.

I have been buying PureBites for the past year recommended by vet since I have a rescue dog who has irritable bowel problems and very limited as to what she can eat without getting sick.  However the PureBites which thankfully do not upset my pet are not worth the price of the product since each bag has at least a third of it broken down like sawdust, especially the 11.6oz bag for the cost of $23.61+ $6.99 (no prime inc.) shipping that I just received @my home on 10/8/16 and now it's 10/18/16 and all that's left is sawdust.  10 DAYS FOR $30.00 (inc shipping) is crazy.  On top of this Amazon pkgd the bag in the same box as my two cartons of dog food so this bag was crushed.  However the other bags received separately still had too many broken down pieces like sawdust to even consider purchasing this product again.  Too bad since the only other treat by Nature's Balance that will not upset her tummy she does not like.  She loves the chicken PureBites so now what!!!!!

We were spending up to $400 per month on purina dog food. Just got a new rottie in Dec. started feeding her Purina pro plan dry puppy food large breed formula. When I contacted Purina they said well it doesn't happen very often. I said I am very upset about this and I have pictures for you. She said no that's ok but if you want I will send you a free coupon for a new bag. I said there are like 30 people in the store complaining are you not going to recall or something she said I will let someone know you called

I adopted a 13 week old Husky puppy last week. Took her to the vet for her first check up, she was given a 100% clean bill of health. Three days later she died from an allergic reaction/poisoning that closed her airway and suffocated her to death. The last thing she ate.you guessed it! Blue Buffalo training treats. She didn't choke on the treat either, she died 10 hrs after eating it. It was the most violent death I have ever seen, heaving and gasping for air, and vomiting..and I was in the Marines during the Iraq war!!!! Blue Buffalo, you are forever in my sights. I hope you go bankrupt and are forced to eat the poison you so readily feed our animals. Disgrace of a company. Ohhh, and yes, she has had a necropsy done and the vet is baffled because she had perfectly healthy organs and he has ruled out Parvo or any sort of genetic fault.  I also suggest reading the reviews on other sites such as Consumer Affairs and Pet Advisor.

3/21/16 UPDATE:
Halo has discontinued the Minty Fresh Chew and the Nutty Banana Chew! We are devastated:-( I spoke with a customer service rep on the phone at Halo and she confirmed this disappointing fact. She said the decision was financially based. They claim these flavors don't sell well.
Our puchases, alone, should have made a $$ dent as we have been purchasing these for years for our boys. We trusted the ingredients and even though we had to soften and cut them into thin sticks, we haven't ever found a better option. We hope others who have purchased these  will reach out to Halo, too.

My two Chihuahua  boys still like to chew, and eventhough these Halo chews are incredibly hard, they still like them. I cut each of the 7 sticks (7 count per package) into three pieces, making them more economical and really all two small dogs need. Their breath smelled very nice after eating.
I was on the subscribe program and in the last two weeks, the price per package increased from $6.39/package to $8.87/package.
Even with my Amazon Prime membership, I can't afford to continue buying these for my dogs:(
I like Halo products, and the ingredients are safe. But I find myself priced out of purchasing any longer. Is this how Amazon will make up the cost of Amazon Prime regular customer shipping purchases(?)  I'm sad to see this as a precedent...

Tuesday May 20, 2014 FDA Update: 1,000+ Dog deaths potentially linked to jerky treats - includes Waggin' Train

[...]

"...internal documents obtained by msnbc.com earlier this year indicate that they include the following: Waggin Train or Canyon Creek Ranch jerky treats or tenders, both produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co., and Milos Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced by the Del Monte Corp."

CNN/TV has been talking about this as well (on 5/20/14). I bought these treats a while ago and my dogs just finished the bag yesterday BEFORE I heard about this story while CNN was on in the background today. I Googled this issue and there is a HISTORY of these treats with the same problem from a previous year.  I am horrified. I can't believe a company would have a history of the same problem and not fix the issue. I read the company's replies on Amazon that this problem was resolved, yet it is on the news AGAIN today May 20, 2014. I am now going to stop buying ALL Purina products for my dogs, including their dog food. If they have this issue on treats, probably the same lack of care and greed via buying cheap products to sell to pet owners is applied to all of their products (unless Purina has different corporate quality policies between each product line team).  I could see if this was an isolated case that occurred one time, but twice? And China? Seriously? How come the bag, which I have right in front of me now, doesn't say ANYTHING about China? Obviously if 'China' was on the bag people probably wouldn't buy it...  Google Chinese lead poisoning toys, Chinese drywall, etc. and you will see why. What if these treats cause long term health problems that don't appear immediately? I'm am shocked and ashamed of Purina. I am going to research another product line for dog food and treats and see if I can find where their products are made.

My 2 mini doxies do not like this dog food unless i doctor it up with real meat broth or salmon oil.  One of my fur-babies totally stopped eating because she does not like this dog food, and then got very ill  because of that.  I went back to Bil-Jac small breed and she's well and happy again.  I need to mention that I went through this with her 5 years ago, before I found Bil-Jac, 10 different brands, expensive to dirt cheap and all she would eat was BJ. This one is rather expensive to have your pup refuse to eat it.

eww..I bought the wrong one! When I glanced at this I just assumed it was the ever-popular "Grizzly Salmon Oil All-Natural Dog Food Supplement" that dogs supposedly love. I knew something was terribly wrong when it arrived & both my doggies refused to eat anything w/ the tiniest drop of this ..yet they are crazy about salmon jerkies. I then looked at the ingredients & was floored. I won't even eat anchovies so I cant blame my little boo boos. What a waste *sigh*

PLEASE LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Hound and Gatos recently changed their formula without any warning to their long time customers.  It took me a bit to realize the change.  In the mean time my poor dog despite us adding more and more calories just kept loosing weight.  Thousands of dollars on vet bills and tests couldn't explain why, and she was slowly starving to death!  Finally my vet suggested changing foods and even though the new food had LESS calories, she immediately started gaining weight back.  Way to ruin a great food Hound and Gatos!  So disappointed!

This food is POISON!! Purina is offering hush money to keep people quiet. The Class action lawsuit is growing ! do not buy this food if you love your pets.

TOTW used to be a good product.  They recently, within 6 months?, changed the food receipe for the worst. Perhaps they put less fish in it?  I  notice that my dog no longer like the taste of it.  In addition, they have increased the price by more than 30% from $43.  This is sad because this used to be a trusted dog food company.  Management is squeezing for more margin.

This test told me nothing, actually telling me my mixed breed dog is 62.5% mixed breed with no identification is absolutely ridiculous!!! That is the whole reason we purchased the test was to find out what breeds our dog was mixed with?!? We were told from the shelter that the parents were a black lab and an Australian Shepherd mix. Our dog looks like an Aussie to us. That breed didn't even show up!?! They say Chow Chow??!!? There is no Chow in our dog. We just got robbed! This company should feel ashamed for telling people they can say what their dogs are mixed with o my to say 62.5% mixed breed WE ALREADY KNEW THAT!!!! Look at our dog- seriously no Aussie but Chow??
