I worked in the office of a dairy farm. We had euthanized cows rotting in the "graveyard" above ground in the elements. most were euthanized with medication. The animals were collected monthly by a company that makes the "meat" byproducts. Then they sold those byproducts to pet food companies. There is a video here on YT called 'Pet Fooled'. Very educational.
Thanks Doc! God bless you brother!

Purina killed over 50 of our sanctuary cats in 2018! They bled out after we opened new bags of food & gave them canned Friskies also! Sixteen died within 2 weeks. The rest died within a span of a year. It destroyed their intestines, kidneys & liver. RIP my sweet furbabies 💔😿💔 I will never feed Purina or any brand using 4D meat, corn, wheat or soy 💔

We had a shitsu that had seizures. Made her homemade dog food and no more problems.

They dont care. Thank you for helping us avoid problems.

Yes, just like their chicken food causing hens to not lay. I don’t trust Purina.

How refreshing to have a man who truly gives a darn about God‘s creatures. In this demonic world, exposing things can throw up a flag. Dr. Jones is a warrior.

What is really sad, society is making it a luxury to own a pet. Governments are trying to take things away that make us comfort ing

I HAD 4 dogs. All of them started getting sick. No answers. My dogs were vomiting and had diarrhea that progressively gotten worse. I switched brands and over time three slowly got better. My Lilly, black Labrador, age 14 couldn’t shake it. She just couldn’t recover and passed. It’s been difficult without her. I have finally gotten where I can talk about her. I know with every fiber of my being it was the purina dog food. I’ve never had problems with any of my babies, then OUT OF NOWHERE all four of them. My two youngest were approximately 18 months old. Both rescues one is special needs. A mini schnauzer the other a Pomeranian. My second oldest a sher pei mix. The food needs to be removed from the shelves. The hole in my heart will forever remain

Last year there was a train disaster in East Palestine Ohio. The crops were contaminated as well as the soil and water. I did a check to see if Diamond Naturals purchased any ingredients or manufactured in this area. I feel with all of the other disasters happening that contaminate soil and water we possibly have an answer to what is poisoning our pets. I will be making my dogs food - with your great recipes! Thank you Dr. Jones for sharing your wealth of information and equipping us to care for our pets health.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food -- also applies to our furry loved ones.

Almost 40 yrs ago, I worked for a vet who was also a meat inspector and he warned me about Purina way back then. I never touch their products.

NESTLE, the parent co. of Purina has not been a company with a good reputation for a long time. So, to find it is the parent co. or related to Purina is concerning. The FB group telling this story is worrisome. And I have a puppy who nearly died too, using Purina Puppy food. Vet does not admit it may be to blame but do they know. So stop buying it.

Before I heard any of this, our 3 cats were avoiding Purina One for about four weeks, and one with skin lesions, was vomiting right after he eats. Vet found no cause, but I realized THREE cats suddenly not liking their normal dry food was no coincidence.

Pedigree too!!! I adopted a dog that was fed Pedigree & there was a recent recall especially from Dollar General & that's where the previous owner worked. The dog had 5 seizures in the 1st day. The Vet said to put her to sleep because she had had many others & a lot of brain damage & would continue to have seizures. I only had her 1 day. It was horrifying, I had never seen a dog have seizures. Those people knew she was sick & lied to me, the Vet agreed.

[susanwills]

I tried Purina because I read how great it was. My dogs got bloody diarrhea and nausea from it. When I stopped using it my dogs have been fine since.

I have used Purina for livestock for years. When I started using Benefit for my 4 dogs, my dogs started getting ill. They all died from liver failure within A few months of each other. They were all under 10 years of age. I am still devastated by this. My vet at one point said, " is it something your doing "😡. All the while prescribing medications for the systems not looking for the cause. My dog now doesn't eat anything from Purina. But I still feed livestock Purina and they are fine. Different places of manufacturing. Also Pedigree causes the same symptoms . I have seen my friends dogs perish with liver failure and tried to explain to them to try another food. So sad. Thank you for all your valued teachings. It was your videos that helped me raise healthier dogs and cats. My dog is now 23 and doing good for a dog of his years.

Dr. Jones, my 12 year old puppy, passed away last week, her head on my lap. I covered her with my tears and my favorite blanket as she grew cold, then colder.
She was the runt of the litter, #11 out of 11, and had lifelong health issues. I knew it was coming, and I was waiting for my roommate to come home from work to help me take her to the veterinarian. I never left her side as she struggled to breathe. You know what CHF looks and sounds like at the end stage. The end came fast, but it was graphic. It left a scar on my soul that may never heal .
What I really wanted to say is that without your book and educational videos, she wouldn't have made it to 8 years. Thanks to you, she had 11 great years with me. Thank you, Dr. Jones.

March 2024, bought Friskies kibble for my cat, as regular brand was sold out.
Within three days, my cat started vomiting and became very sick, barely able to move.
I figured out that it was the food, and immediately stopped feeding her “Friskies “.
Took a few days, but after putting her back on her regular food she came back.
After some research, I decided to not give her kibble anymore, just wet stuff.
Wow, she’s like a fricking kitten now.
Never seen her more energetic, and she’s 14 years old.
