Review on Purina ONE SmartBlend Natural Chicken and Rice Dry Dog Food for Adult Dogs by Kathleen Roy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

INFECTED WITH PANTRY BALL AND LARVAE

I've been buying this for my dog for almost a year now. Something seems wrong with my dog a week or two after I opened my last bag. I keep her food in an airtight container in the pantry and don't watch much when I fill her bowl since it's usually dark at night. When I started seeing little white worms on the wall next to her plate of food and she was throwing up, I researched further to find out what it was. These are the larvae of the Indian moth or pantry moth. Upon discovering this I immediately checked their food in containers and bags and found a disgusting number of different stages of this moth/worm. I immediately took the container and bag of food outside and threw them away. I contacted Purina on Facebook and sent the photos I took along with the video from the package showing all the worms and moths (some close ups). They responded quickly and explained that everything is clean and checked and that they take every precaution to avoid these problems, but they sent me coupons to replace what was lost. That's all well and good, except they don't cover the full cost of a £31 bag at the grocery store and Revain doesn't accept vouchers. In addition, my house was infected. I had to throw out countless cereal boxes and found tons of maggots when I googled the lifespan and realized how bad it really is and that just giving up dog food is not enough. Not sure if this is a Purina issue or where Revain keeps the food. Heads up.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Some problems
