Beneful Dog food cost me $1300.00 in Vet fees. My Boston Terrier became severely lethargic and ran a temp of 106 after 2 days on Beneful. Then my 100 lb. Shar-Pei/Lab mix did the same thing a day later. The only thing different in their routine was the Beneful. They had to spend the weekend in the Animal hospital and get IV fluids and antibiotics. Docs sed they weren't sure of cause, but after reading these posts, I am. I returned the dog food to Sam's and got a refund, but sure would like to get help with the vet cost. All this took place 7/14/08, so probably too late to push. Still paying for it.

I had been feeding my great Dane beneful for quite sometime and around Christmas. he started getting sick walmart hasn't been carrying it, so we switched dog foods and he got well then last night I found a bag of beneful and gave him one bowl and two hours later he was sick again will not be feeding him that beneful again.

We recently began feeding our pug beneful and he became very lethargic and drooled excessively. Since changing his food everything has returned to normal.

We bought a new bag of Beneful in the last week without knowledge of dogs becoming sick from it. Our dog became VERY sick and was vomiting and had diarrhea. I plan to report this! I would stay away from this dog food for now.

My dogs have been eating beniful for quite some time. However recently November 08 my male became very sick. He had lethargy, glazed eyes and trouble standing. He refused to eat. The vet said he had a swollen liver as well. We got him on meds and began feeding him chicken, beef, and bread. He made a recovery. THE DAY WE GAVE HIM beniful dry food with his meat, rather then bread, he began throwing up and diarrhea. BEWARE!

All 3 of our dogs are vomiting non-stop since starting on Beneful yesterday. We won't be feeding them that crap again.

Both my dogs are throwing up in the middle of the night and the mess is the same color/consistency. I spoke with a co-worker who said she noticed Beneful really changes color from bag to bag. I'm moving to something else.

The web-site urbanlegends.com shows many, many stories of dogs becoming ill, but didn't officially state there was a recall. On snopes.com the official answer was "undetermined", which leads me to believe there are valid arguments against feeding this food to your fur-baby. I guess I would personally choose to throw it out rather than take a chance.

I don't know if it's being recalled, but a friend has been feeding it to her dog, and the bag she bought recently made her dog severely sick - I would stay away from Beneful at least for now.
