Smells vile

published

I have been feeding my dog Supercoat for many years. This morning I opened a bag and the smell is absolutely vile. With a use-by date of 2021 this product should still be edible. Perhaps Purina should have made a re-call of this obviously faulty product.

Smells like Chicken Manure

published

I have been giving my dogs Supercoat for years and never had any complaints, until recently after I purchased a new 7.5kg bag on special at Woolworths. As soon as I opened the bag I noticed it was quite smelly but thought it may have just been because I'd only just opened the bag. Within a week, my entire pantry cupboard where I store the food smelt of chicken manure and my dog, who is not usually a smelly dog, absolutely pongs. I'll go back to the Real Beef as I dont believe the Real Chicken is that real. Dog food shouldn't smell that bad.

Purchased in February 2020 at Woolworths for $19.

Diarrhoea for days

published

Supercoat gave my pup mad diarrhoea. I felt terrible for making him go through the suffering of having diarrhoea! Please do not feed this trash to your pup, they deserve so much better.

Great Ant food

published

The alleged sealable bag, breaks in an instant. If you enjoy feeding Ants. Then buy any Purina product of 18kg for dogs. Total waste of money. Not the first time it has been purchased. Thank you for reading my Ant food review... :-)

Purina = Pure diarrhea

published

Do you hate picking up your dogs poop?
Are you into super sloppy dog faeces that can only be wiped off your floor tiles as opposed to picked up?
Do you enjoy seeing that look of shame on your dogs face after being unable to make it outside before their bowels burst uncontrollably?
Well, if you like the texture of cream based soups that smell like a barrel of farts mixed into a rotting corpse that only ate blue cheese and never bathed (prior to becoming a corpse) then this doggy diarrhea inducing product is for you, ya sicko....
For everyone else my recommendation would be, just dont buy it

Pricing

All my dogs love Supercoat and have no reactions to it. My only concern is the price has increased by $5 a 7.5 Kg bag at both Coles and Woolworths. This is a huge one off increase.

Big problems for my cocker spaniel

published

My dog liked this so I changed from a very mixed good diet to this dry food. He has been on this since last match so more or less a year. During this time he has lost most his coat from his rear end and legs and stomach and the rest of his coat is horribly thin. I took him to the vet who said it was an allergy and treated him so but in think it's linked to this food and was so interested in reading these posts. I'm stopping tonight and giving him a really good diet which does not consist of this product. Fingers crossed that this works as he looks just dreadful and I cannot believe I didn't consider his diet earlier. Not only has he lost his fur but his skin is red and wrinkled..poor thing

Purchased in March 2022 for $38.

Great for my babies

published

My baby has pancreatitis and can only eat dog food under 10% fat, this is an excellent brand and the dogs love it. It is also very reasonably priced as i have 2 dogs to feed a bag can last me up to a month, so I would recommend this ood o any dog lover.

Supercoat healthy weight. Definitely not for everydog

published

My dog loved the taste but after a few days of feeding (and yes I followed the instructions for slow intro of new food) experienced severe diarrhea and vomiting, blood in diarrhea, straining to poo and pain. I spent over $800 at the vet (tested for pancreatitis, liver and kidney function and a bunch of other things) and they found nothing wrong except dehydration and recent change in food. His “Illness” abated after I changed his food.
This week I took on a second dog and since I still had a heap of the food left over I thought perhaps my dog old was sensitive and this young guy might be fine with it. Three days in and the diarrhea has started. This stuff is literally the worse dog food I’ve ever fed my dogs.

Adult Real Chicken

My dogs recently changed to Supercoat when Purina stopped making Beneful. One dog started to develop excessive drinking and urinating, recurrent ear infections and a thinning of her coat. These signs and symtoms can mimic a number of serious conditions such as Cushings disease, Diabetes, kidney disease and tumorS (ptituary & adrenal). However, after over $1000 dollars of Vet Bills and no findings, my other dog started to exhibit the same symptoms. I have no doubt that this product is linked to what has happened with my animals and have now switched them to a Vet Prescription diet. Has any one else had a similar experience as this is not acceptable ?

Both are just as worse as each other I believe I tried supercoat and dog turned his nose up I just feed raw now and no cereal sprayed with vitamins I believe no matter how cheap or expensive kibble you pay for it’s still bad for the dog.

Thanks for sharing Kelly.g
Our dogs have always eaten supercoat but recently after starting a new bag my dog exhibited same symptoms as you’ve mentioned. She’s had blood tests, urine tests etc with no conclusions... your info made me realise it’s most likely the food! immediate change to diet and fingers crossed all goes well.

Thanks Kristy I thought I was being a bit paranoid I am trying different foods to hopefully find one he likes.I have offered him the supercoat a couple more times and he won't even touch it now.I don't know why they felt the need to change it.They haven't even bothered to reply.

My boy wouldn't eat the new formula at all. He had been eating supercoat for 6 years and now wouldn't go near it. Purina were great, sent me a refund card and a postage bag to send a sample of the food to them, along with photos of the batch etc.
