PETCO CUSTOMER SAYS FRESH BAG OF PURINA DOG FOOD HAD BUGS IN IT, MADE HER DOG SICK

TikTok user Dae Collins (@dae.collins) explains in her viral video that she purchased a bag of Purina Pro Plan dog food. After feeding her dog a single bowl of the food, the dog reportedly became sick and defecated in her kennel. The feces also allegedly contained blood.

When Collins went to inspect the bag of food, she says she made a shocking discovery: the entire bag was infested with bugs.

It’s unclear from the video what kind of beetle is seen in the kibble.

"The management, all they could tell me was, like, ‘Oh my god, it’s just beetles’—but no. They don’t understand that those ‘just beetles’ caused my dog to literally have blood coming out in her poop…They do not care,” she says.”

Noting this, she says she attempted to return the bag to her Grand Prairie, Texas, Petco location.

There are several types of bugs that are typically found in products like dog food. Most of these bugs are harmless. That said, if ingested in high enough quantities, or if one’s dog has a particularly sensitive stomach, consuming these bugs can cause gastrointestinal distress.
