Kibbles N Bits Reviews
Quite frankly, Kibbles N Bits is as innutritious as the brand name suggests. It’s basically, well, kibbles and bits. By that, we mean a whole lot of cheap filler, artificial flavoring, chemical preservatives, and by-products. Okay, they won’t admit straight up that they put by-products into their dog food, but there are two gigantic red flags:
- Meat and bone meal is in their ingredient list. If it were just pure meat, then it would’ve been listed as “chicken (or beef, or turkey, or whatever else kind of meat they use) meal”. The word “bone” is worrisome. It suggests that this is a by-product meal, also known as the leftovers of an animal carcass dried and ground up.
- They won’t specify which kind of meat they put in their formulas. Organic meat? Factory farmed meat? Chicken? Beef? Turkey? Fish? They won’t tell us anything. Just “meat and bone meal”. For all we know, it could be horse or rat by-product meal. The fact that Del Monte Foods is so secretive when it comes to this worries us a lot. We don’t know about you, but we’re not comfortable feeding our dog mystery meat combined with a bunch of harmful and unhealthy ingredients.
Not only that, but Kibbles N Bits is also chock full of corn, soybean meal, and corn syrup, none of which are good for your dog at all.
If your dog has food sensitivities, you might want to feed him something else. Kibbles N Bits is a corn-based product with wheat and soy. Some dogs even have allergic reactions to sugar, salt, by-products, or artificial coloring, all of which Kibbles N Bits contains. Actually, if your dog is healthy as a horse, you still don’t want to risk jeopardizing his health by feeding him Kibbles N Bits.

Our Kibbles N Bits American Grill Grilled USA Beef Steak Flavor Review:
Del Monte Foods has a knack of making Kibbles N Bits dog food look appetizing. For example, the Kibbles N Bits American Grill Grilled USA Beef Steak Flavor dog food formula sounds delicious, doesn’t it? There’s even a big slab of juicy steak featured on the bag. If you read our review of the brand, you’ve probably figured by now that this dog food formula does not contain as much steak as it does cheap filler, artificial flavoring, and preservatives.
Ground yellow corn, soybean meal, beef & bone meal, ground whole wheat, and animal fat are the first five ingredients in this formula. You don’t even want to know what the sixth ingredient is. Okay, we’ll tell you: corn syrup. Farther down the list, you’ll see a whole slew of artificial colors (yellow 5, red 40, blue 2 lake, etc.).
Even though this is a “steak” formula, the only source of steak is beef & bone meal (the third ingredient). It implies that it’s a by-product rather than real beef. If you ask us, the only redeeming quality of this formula is that it contains potatoes and cheddar cheese, but those ingredients are smack dab in the middle of the ingredient list.
If you want to give your dog a nice steak dinner, give him real steak. This Kibbles N Bits dog food formula does not resemble steak, let alone nutritious dog food, whatsoever.
Where can you buy Kibbles N Bits?
This brand is available in many big-box stores, like Target and Walmart. You can also find it at some grocery stores like Safeway. However, you need to check first with your local independent pet store before going there because Kibbles N Bits is such a poor brand that some esteemed pet stores refuse to carry it.
We bought a new bag of Kibbles and bits this past Saturday, a brand that we buy all the time. However both of my dogs have been sick all week because of this food. Is there something wrong with this recent batch. I have a friend who had the same problem a couple of weeks ago also with Kibbles and bits.
Purchased Kibble N Bits a week ago at Stater Bros and both of our dogs began to get sick on it, finally they completely refused to eat it. We’ve since thrown it out and will no longer purchase pet foods manufactured/distributed by Del Monte Pet Products, which sources from China – notorious for their poisonous dog treats and tainted food products. Stay away from ANY company sourcing foods from China. A Taiwanese co-worker warned us that the wealthier population in China import their foods from other countries because they do not trust their own Chinese-made food products! Nice.
My blue heeler became very sick on kibbles n bits. Vomiting, diarrhea, internal bleeding. We switched her to blue buffalo basics. She has done very well on this brand. More expensive but worth it!
We also have feed our pets this feed and we have noticed that the last 3 bags that we have purchased of kibbles-n-bits from Dollar General our pets have become very reluctant to eat it and when they do they become very sick vomiting and now they will not even eat it we have now switched foods and now they seem fine. And as many reviews that i have read i think i will file a formal complaint. I have tryed several times to contact del Monte an have been unable to contact them.
My husband bought a small bag of Kibbles & Bits on March 8th 2015 from Morro Bay, Ca. and all 3 of our dogs became violently ill for 2 days. Each one of them continually puked until it was completely out of their system. I went online to look for a recall, no such luck. I recently came across this review and I am in agreement with them. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE OR HAVE MY HUSBAND PURCHASE THIS BRAND AGAIN!!!! That is not cool at all to watch all 3 dogs throwing up all night. Our backyard was filled with diarrhea as well.
I bought a bag of Kibbles and bits Homestyle for my dog…he is a year old..120 lb half Alaskan Malamute and half Chocolate lab…he has been refusing to eat it after the 2nd day started throwing up….I will never buy it again…
Check your bag for Propylene Glycol , it’s the same thing as anti freeze; which is very poisonous to animals. we lost our little dog of 8 yrs. last march. She was eating Kibbles’N Bits. she had diarrhea, vomiting, lethargic. we took her to the vet and after three days of trying to save her she died. he asked if she had gotten into anti-freeze? we knew of no way that was possible. he said he could smell it on her breath; it has a very distinct odor. She had never eaten this product before this event happened. We had the vet. to do a blood test on her and sure enough it was anti – freeze poisoning. We will always miss her and love her. IN MEMORY OF ZOE. To save others
So sorry for your loss Brenda. My mother feeds her dog Kibbles ‘N Bits and has just left for an overseas trip for a month, leaving her dog in our care. I went to the pet store today to purchase a high quality food only because I know that KNB is pure garbage. I DO NOT feed this to my dogs, and after reading about your poor Zoe this just reaffirms my decision to switch my mothers dogs food too. Deepest sympathies.
That’s crazy. Sorry to hear that. I won’t be giving my dog that kind again.
My two dogs have eaten Kibbles and bits for years the only thing that my dogs liked till lately. They have been throwing it up and refusing to eat it. I have switched brands, ok now but I’m going to follow up with the vet.
I also bought a bag of Kibbles N Bits but it was at Kmart & it was the original not the homestyle I usually fed my dogs & they both ended up sick and vomiting I changed their food to the kibbles n bits homestyle that I bought from Walmart & they seem fine now except for a episode on one of them vomiting yesterday
Its beyond my understanding that you are asking for more trouble when continuing to feed this garbage to your dogs.
We have 2 dogs, they have been sick for 1 year now! They were first on beneful untill they changed were the wheat came from, the dogs had severe diarrhea.then with the vets knowelgeand no clues of a salmonela recall , we put them on diamond which made them very sick. Then the vet put them on science diet , which made them worse.After many vet bills , I began researching recalled dogfoods , boy were we shocked!!! We then switched to benefull with the same problems. We now have them on nature’s receipe , chicken, sweetpotato +pumpkin . They were doing better with the help of pro_protalin and almost had them off of it until I bought a new bag. I was hoping only the bag was changed but to my dismay it the food also . I can controll their diarrhea with the pro-pectalin already spent 400.00 on it , but founnd it cheaper on line . The vet says it may be the fiber making them sick . He said to put them on purina , but we won’t with all the recalls. Can anyone please help us ? I was going to switch to nutro -max but that is causing diarrhea too . HELP HELP HELP
caerful when changing dog foods … It is recommended to feed small amounds of food when changing … I have five dog and after much trial and error I now feed them Iams dog food – and or: B Pure Balance – No fillers, artificial flavors or artificial preservatives. It works great – my dogs are healthy . One of my dogs had gained lots of weight – even when exercising and feeding small amounts of food … I’m not mentioning the brand, but once Ilet go of the brand my dog is back to a healthy weight …. I check the Ingredients listed on every bag I purchase. Vet bills are to high these days and having sick companions is not good either ….

I bought Kibbles N Bits as a treat for my dog a few days ago at Kroger. The price was great, but she got sick and refused to eat anymore of this food. I bought Little Bits and she started eating again, and is fine. Bad batch?? Recall in order?? I now have a huge bag of Kibble N Bits which I would not pass on to my friends’ dogs, so in the trash it goes?? Annoying.
We have 2 Cavalier King Charles who are our precious babies. They love to eat the Kibbles and Bits Grillin, however, since the last bag purchased at Walmart, they have developed a cough. The youngest began first then the older one. At times while eating, they have to stop to cough. I have taken them to the Vet 3 times and was told it is allergies. We are in the process of changing brands to see if there is something in the Kibbles and Bits that is causing this allergy.
my dogs are sick on this dog food I bought two bags last Saturday and they been sick ever since
Just bought a bag Monday. For a few days both dogs seemed excited about a new food, but then were eating less and less of it. One dog began to vomit two days ago and the other last night. Neither dog is their normal self. Never buying this food again.

My daughter bought a bag of kibbles and bits and within two hours her beloved babies are gone. vomiting and diarrhea both still had SOME FOOD IN THERE MOUTHS,
my dogs were always healthy until kibble and bits now I have a pet cemetery, Chiara do something please
I have 6 dogs; 9 yr old chihuahua, 4 yr old poodle/terrier mix, 9 yr old min-pin/blue heeler cross, and 3 chihuahua/poodle mix. I have been feeding my dogs Kibbles and Bits forever, changing to original to small breed back to original,etc. The last one I bought was small breed. I have my female chi/poo loosing her hair just like she has the mange, but doesn’t. And for over a week my dogs, one after another, have been throwing up, gotten diarrhea. They are getting so weak some of them can barely walk. And you say there has never been a recall on Kibbles N Bits! That dog food should be permanently pulled from the shelf!!!!! It is slowing killing animals.
Yes, this dog food is bad first my chihuahua. He start throwing up then have diarrhea and then he start to be weak on his feet barely standing.I took him to the vet thank god,don’t give your dog this dog food.
Some of these reviews are ridiculous. Is this a great food? No. Would I feed it to my dogs on a regular basis? No. If I’m out of food and can spend 11 dollars til I make it to Hollywood Feed and get their usual food, I’ll buy it. They love it. None of them are dead. None of them are dying. None of them had explosive poop and vomit that made baby aliens jump out of their abdomens. My dogs will throw up and or have diarrhea at any point in time, I can’t ever blame that on a food…. was it the food or the rabbit they killed in the yard? Was it the food or the trash bag they drug into the yard and brought through the dog door. If your dog died 3 minutes after eating this then your dog was sick before eating it, and probably needed to be on prescription diet food, so I blame you, not the food. As for me, I guess I feel like sometimes it’s okay to let them have the “junk food”, I too enjoy really bad for you food every once in a while. Besides a 15lb bag is going to last maybe a week here. Merry Christmas my creatures! You get the terrible food that you love for a week because your mom is awesome. Ps- my shih tzu is 11, lhasapoo 10, Bichon 4, Big goofy mix 5…. they have medical problems, I guess I should blame luxating patellas on this food?! Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy? Damn you kibbles and bits.
I have 4 sick dogs from the grilled chicken spring vegetable and baked apple flavor kibbes. Vomiting and diarrhea With all these complaints i think you need to figure out what’s going on! I can give you the batch # to see if it’s just 1 batch or what. best if used by 02-19-16 4239 LA 30620 Could this be because of the del monte apple recall or something different?
This food seemed like a good deal to my boyfriend because we have two dogs who eat a ton of food. Unfortunately this dog food left both of my dogs in extreme discomfort and one very sick. It’s not worth it you will end up spending much more in the long run. Not to mention we now have a 30 lb bag of dog food going to waste. I guess we could ground it up and feed deer with it since this food is made mostly from corn!! However; we switched over to pedigree my boys love it and so far not upset bellies.
I just bought two 13lb bags of original kibbles n bits from the px at Ft Lewis lady night. My Staffordshire terrier was immediately sick and my other two dogs are now sick. They’re all vomiting and one of my small dogs is starting to lose bladder control. We’ve purchased this food from the px before with no problems. This is a serious issue that the manufacturer needs to address. Taking the food back now to try a different brand that my dogs will hopefully eat.
OMG My 11 year old GSD has been throwing up for 3 days can’t even hold down water – kibbles and bits. Had a bag of old roy still sick – I am making him rice with chicken broth and switch to a better dog food – please pray that he gets better – please don’t make the same mistake I made
Look at the ingredients! Contains Hydrochloric Acid! I have close to 20 years experience with dogs/cats. First working in boarding/training/grooming, and now in the veterinary field. Some dogs will live 15 years no issues eating low quality food. Others seem to have no underlying issues then one day the die due to organ failure because their bodies have been processing these corn,soy, filler based foods so long they give up. Others will not tolerate low quality foods at all. If you can afford it avoid anything sold by pedigree, purina (one and pro plan are not as bad), beneful..most food sold by the grocery store (not everything) Science diet, sold by many vets, has some really horrible formulas also (not all) but rem vets are given discounts and free bees to promote and sell this “veterinary recommended” food. If your vet RECOMMENDS any of these corn/soy/filler based foods, start to question them! Food is the #1 cause of allergies. If you are have any sort of skin allergy issues, try switching foods! Though it may seem more expensive, most of the better foods out there actually require less cups per feeding, low quality brand may call for 8 cups a day as the higher quality will call for 5 cups a day. As I said before some dogs can live long lives, but if it is at all feasible in your budget please look at the ingredients in your dog food and consider what is going into your dog! Does a wild dog go out picking wheat and soybeans to eat?? Or some corn on the cob? Not likely. Also let it be known more and more dogs are coming in with chicken allergies! Good luck! Please educate!
I jusst bought a bag of. Kibbles and Bits dog food this week. My boxer has started having diarrhea and now vomiting. He is just over 3 years old and has been fine until now. Its the dog food. I am throwing it away. Before it kills him.
If you buy a new dog food for your dog, you cannot feed your dog a new dog food all by itself, you have to mix it in with the old dog food that he was eating and change over to the new dog food slowly, any dog with throw up on any dog food if you try and change them over like that, they will end up with diarrhea, throwing up, and everything, it is not always the dog food that is bad, it is the human that doesn’t know any better on how to switch their food. Read up on dogs ask your Vet!!
Has anyone had any issues with their dogs developing PLE (protein losing enteropathy) or skin allergies (where chunks of fur rise up, fall off and leave a bald spot / scar) after feeding this food?
if your dog got sick eating kibble and bits look and see if it has propylene glycol in it. that is what is in beneful. it is in puppy chow to. I took my puppy off it
This dog food killed my furbaby 2/26/15. She was only 7 years old!!! It was the only food I fed her. I lost 2 furbabies in 2007 from the large pet food recall and now this. She did the same thing as my other dogs did in 2007 when they died from kidney failure. Please recall this food so nobody else has to go through what I am going through. My heart is broken!!!!!
I would like to know how a fifteen pound of dog food . can fit in a ten pound bucket. I feel that I was cheated out of a pound of food for my dogs .
Same reason that 10 pounds of feathers and 10 pounds of bricks will fit differently in the same 10 pound bucket
We have fed our dog kibbles and bits original for years,but the last bag we purchaced looks different and out dog has had the runs for 3 days. I am throwing it out! Will have to change food after all these years.
I have just got my dogs on a new bag of Kibbles-n-Bits. Worst mistake that i have done to date for my two bundles of joy. My weimer is literally on her death bed right now and wont hold anything down but water, and its very little at that. I will never buy or even recommend this brand again! My poor girl is hurting because of this. After reading all the horror stories on here, and across the internet, why is this stuff not taken off the market, or banned from stores. Its horrific and i dont wish this on any dog!
I would like a class action law suit against this company for killing my puppy almost two,also causing twow of my poms complete hair loss,i have completed tox reports astateing direct canse of death is ingreedents of kibble and bits dog food!! This is heart wrenching and unbearable please anyone intrestef in joining me please email me
I will join you. I just got my dog back a few days ago. She was knocking on death’s door after eating this food too. Went into liver failure and luckily the vet I go to is incredible and they nursed her back and her enzyme levels are slowly but surely starting to come down.
I bought a huge back of Kibbles and bits Homestyle from Walmart on March 1st 2015 and my dogs are vomiting. I have purchased the same brand at another store an they were fine on it. I am not sure if it is the batch or that Walmart is doing something to it in storage. Either way this is not the first time this has happened and I cannot afford to go out and buy another bag of dog food this month. This is an outrage!
I thought it was just my dog. I heard of dogs being sick on beneful but not kibble’s n bits. I’ve always used them and this last bag is making my lab sick. Vomiting, diarrhea, etc. I wondering if they changed the ingredients lately. Crazy!!!
Just found LIVE GREEN WORMS in my dogs Kibbles & Bits Small Breed mini bits !!!!! Bag intact when I bought it…noticed that my dogs were getting sick gagging, vomiting, diarrhea, scratching and, oddly furious attention to their anal area. Never connected my dogs problems to their food…..until I read this blog !!!!! So sorry I didn’t check the food…and not so glad I did……GREEN WORMS, COBWEBS (?)????!!!! Can’t wait for vet visit tomorrow. Hope no damage is done. Shot off email to K&B…will I hear anything from them????? we’ll see…it’s the weekend and they aren’t taking phone calls……
I have fed my German Shepherds the original Kibbles n Bits for years,,, Notice a problem if I tried the other formulas of their product. Now since the original formula looks more like the old Homestyle or Bistro cuts my Boys are noticeable not themselves. My older white shepherd is so ill his tummy is making all sorts of sounds and he is very lethargic. Throwing up and now, he is having bloody urine and it is just dripping out. My other shepherd is not as sick but his fur is falling out all on his low back area and they are both just chewing all over but it is NOT fleas. I always fed my Great Dane Eucanuba never had ANY problem and he lived very healthy till nearly 15! Time to switch I do believe!!
—-HAS ANY ONE ELSE HAD THEIR BABIES HAVE BLOOD IN THE URINE?? comment back Please if you have!! Thank you!! Hope and prayers to all the sick babies and broken hearts….. 🙁
I have bought Kibbles and Bits for my dogs for years. I noticed every now again they aren’t acting right. Throwing up, diarrhea, lethargic I didn’t realize it was the food I was buying them. Stuff is going in the garbage and I won’t feed it to them again. So disappointing everything is about money anymore and no one cares about others well being including there pets which are just like my children.
I can’t believe reading all these comments. I came here because I’m a long time K & B user. I switch the varieties around. I have 2 dogs, a 7 lb Yorkie and a 25lb Schnoodle. However the last bag I bought is the new American Grill version. Within a few days of opening the bag, the Yorkie started with loose stool. I stopped giving it to both and had given rice and chicken till he was better. I reintroduced back in the K & B and now the Yorkie has diarrhea again and the Schnoodle has vomitted yesterday and today. Reading all these comments I feel that it’s probably the food NOT my dogs. Sorry not buying this anymore!
Thank you everyone for your recent comments about K&B also making your dogs sick.. we have an English Mastiff who started vomiting and runny stools the last two weeks since we purchased two large bags. This has been his favorite food (picky eater) since a puppy and he’s 4 now so we weren’t sure what was going on since there are no recalls. This is awful, Kibbles and Bits need to act now before more dogs get sick!
I recently bought my 9 year old lab mix a bag of Kibbles N Bits because they were out of the normal dog food I feed her. She was staying with a friend of mine for a week while I went on vacation. Once I came back I noticed gradually she stopped eating and didn’t want to do much of anything. She threw up twice. I took her to the vet. He ran blood tests on her because she had just had surgery 6 weeks prior on her ear for a hematoma and all her tests had come back normal at that time. Well not this time. Her liver enzyme levels were sky high. He kept her in the hospital (this vet has everything, including an inpatient hospital) for 5 days on IV fluids, three different meds, etc. I just got her back a few days ago. He told me that since they didn’t find a mass on her liver (cancer) that it had to be something she injested that caused her liver to go into almost complete liver failure in such a short amount of time. She also had an inflamed gall bladder when they ran the ultrasound on her. This food is toxic. I encourage everyone to get their dogs off of this food. The bag was purchased at Wal-Mart and I threw the rest of it away as soon as I took her to the vet and found out she was in liver failure. She almost died. I cannot believe that they still have this stuff on the market. I hope no other dogs get sick from this food.
we have fed this to all three of our dogs for years…we have never had any problems. i only purchase it at Target. I have bought all the ‘flavors’ and have never had any isuses with any of the dogs….not sure why it is effecting so many other dogs.
I have always used kibbles n bits small breed (original) for my pug and 3 days ago I went shopping and grabbed the bistro bag on accident and didn’t realize it until I fed him and now he has had diarrhea since ….so please be careful with this flavor of kibbles n bits small breed dry dog food
I have yet to find a dog food that is perfect for any dog. When growing up, my dogs were fed table food and lived to be very old dogs without any intestinal problems. Now that I buy my dogs food from the supermarket, I find that everything in the dog food is bad for them. I tried Blue Buffalo and they wouldn’t eat it. Orijen or Wellness CORE – nope! Sniff and turn up their noses. I tried Kibbles and Bits for the first time and they have already cleaned out the dog food! These are two Aussies that are pretty big dogs. They like cat food, eat horse poop and cow poop, grass, birds, dead things in the field, but fancy dog food is not for them. However, they like Kibbles and Bits. Go figure!
I feed mydogs kibbles and bits chicken home style all there life but both got cancer and noe I look at the dog food bag and it has propylene glycol and I know this has to do with antifreeze why would you in danger our dogs like that and I called the fda
Hi I use your dog food all the time my dog’s love it but I have one problem my dog only eats the cheese part of the food so I was wondering do you sell just the cheese parts my dog doesn’t eat any other dog food but yours
My dog had the same symptoms, I took her to the vet and found out that she was throwing up because she was SEVERELY constipated. A couple enemas and $300 later she’s back to normal and now my other dog is throwing up… Coincidence? I think not…
I just fed my pups kibbles and bits yesterday and now they are sick. This dog food shouldn’t be sold.
I’m sorry about the things the food has done but i bought mine from Wal-Mart and its the bistro kind and my puppy has been eating for almost two months and he is doing fine
Hello I have bought this before but the patch I just got is upsetting my dogs stomach when I looked at the food closely I found hair made in with the food black and white. I am worried this is not moral and wonder whose hit it is. Please help me find and stop this in future foods and make sure we take this of the shelf if it is serious to others
We have a 9 year old chocolate lab whom we were originally feeding Iams dog food. A couple of months ago, he had a stroke and the vet recommended we start feeding him softer, smaller food. We bought Kibbles ‘n Bits dog food, and our dog had terrible diarrhea for an entire night. When we stopped feeding it to him, he immediately got better. IF YOU FEED THIS TO YOUR DOG, YOU ARE ASKING FOR MESS AND FOR YOUR DOG TO BE EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE, NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT THIS FOOD IS ALL FILLERS AND WOULD BE LIKE A HUMAN ONLY EATING RICE HIS ENTIRE LIFE. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND BUY SOME REAL DOG FOOD PLEASE. By the way, if you are looking for something to feed your dog, the best food we have ever found was Iams.
My dog trixie is 18 years old yesterday. She has ate kibles and bits from day one and still loves them. Feel free to hire her for a commercial. Lol.

I used to buy kibbles and bits 2 yrs ago wen i first got my new dogs. I used KnB’s for about 3 mos, my dogs were throwing up and projectilie vomiting everyday. I was concerned as both 8f them were doin this both diffrent breeds, I assumed it was nothing until it had gone on all month EVERYDAY, so I switched to a different style of Kibbles n bits, agin the same problem at this point i stopped buying K.N.B’S for 2 yrs I switched to a diffrent dog food it was more expensive but my dogs were NOT puking, well I cant afford to buy the Diamond dog food rt now so I bought kibbles and bits small breed dog food with in the first 3 days my dogs are puking and my one dog is shaking so bad after puking all I have fed them is kibbles and bits small breed I couldnt afford treats this month. Im really upset with K.N.B’S IF I COULD AFFORD IT ID HAVE THIS FOOD TESTED MY DOGS ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES ALL I CAN DO IS RETURN THE DOGFOOD TO WALMART AND BUYA DIFFRENT BRAND I DO NOT RECAMEND KIBBLES AND BITS OF ANY STYLE DOGFOOD UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I hope it hasnt hurt my dogs in any permanant way health wise :0 (

Mix Jack Russell terrier

What a wast of money !
I think this Company Should refund our money that we spent on dog food & vet visits ,
Because our pets got so sick on this
Dog food

My son just bought a bag of Kibbles n bits small breed bistro with an expiration date of 08-16-2016. The bag was filled with maggots and spider webs full of dead bugs.
We have been using this brand for years. We contacted the store where he bought it and they weren’t aware of any problems. Also emailed Kibbles n bits but have no response so far.
I’m new at having a dog, she’s just a little over a year old. Most her life she was fed Rachel Ray dog food and was always well and a healthy dog. Recently, due to some changes in our financial situation I had been feeding her kibbles and bits. One week she will be fine, the next she’s constantly vomiting and miserable. Today I did hours of research online seeing if her sickness maybe pertained to the food she was eating. After reading all these reviews I’m certain it’s the kibbles and bits dog food. She has everything everyone else is stating on here. This makes me sad and livid. It’s seems kibbles and bits shouldn’t even be sold to pet owners. I greatly appreciate everyone that took the time to voice their opinions and concerns. I now know where I need to change and get my baby back to her healthy, vibrant self. I’m sorry for those that have lost animals due to ingesting this JUNK. But know, your words are saving my furbaby, and for that I’m forever thankful!
I bought a bag of the home style and my husband was going to feed our dogs when he noticed that the food had strands of hair coming out from the kibbles we started going through the food and mostly all of them have hair.. That’s just plain wrong so upset never again will we buy this brand and I will make sure I post it on social media!!
As a animal rescue and dog food Is donated by someone wanting to help and food is one of if not the biggest expence in rescue, so I take what ever anyone offers. with over 80 dogs here I cant afford the over priced food..
I had a bag of this donated and fed it last night to some of the larger dogs.. with in 6 hours my perfectly healthy and 67lb pit bull started vomiting and excreting blood. chuncks of blood.. he puked up everything he had ate and what ever was in his system came out the other end. I had to rush him to the vets as he was shaking and as a white dog his jowls swelled, all seen skin turned brite red. Vet had to treat him for toxin and Anaphylactic Shock, He is still there now… that is the ONLY change in anything for him. A large pup got bloody diarreah as well. I will NEVER use this or Natural balance again as both are life threatenting to animals..
My dog through up everything that she ate when she ate that dog food and even water also and won’t buy that kind ever again and if I can get a refund then that would be better for me and my puppy also and refuses to eat it and goes up stairs and eats the other dog food that doesn’t make her do that and sorry for your loss and my pets are my babies and I have 4 of them which none of then are going to be on that brand
My seven year old Rottweiler just died. Are local Wal-Mart ran out of our usual brand so my wife bought a bag of kibbel&bits. Duke then started getting sick, and died. He will be missed tremendously. Thank you kibbel & bits!!!!
this dog food made my dog sick.
I’ve been using Kibbles and Bits for years. I have noticed lately that some kind of flying moth comes
out of the bag. What is this? Also, after reading other complaints; I’m almost certain that one of
my dogs must have been poisoned by this dog food. He began throwing up blood and became
lethargic. His kidneys failed him. I had to euthanize him several years ago. It broke my heart.
I have a Jack Russell mix and sometimes he gets sick and throws up. I don’t think I will ever buy
kibbles n bits again. I thought this dog food was made in the USA.
The last 3 large bags I have bought have had those little gray moths in them. I had been feeding them Kibbles n Bits for a couple of years but now I will not buy this brand again. After reading all these comments I am positive that I will not take a risk of them getting sick and loosing them. It made me sick to see those moths in the food so I just dumped them in the woods for the wild animals to eat, would not feed those moths and eggs they laid to my furry buddies!!!
Our dog will not eat the high priced dog food. Likes beef. likes kibbles N Bits. I worry about the quality. Blue buffalo and some of the others he walks away from , for days, not like we haven’t tried. Can you recommend a food other than going in our pasture and butchering a steer for him? I guess I should tell you that he is a Lab.
I bought kibbles and bits this week and the bag had small Worms in the bag I just bought a new puppy and have a older shitzu this broke my heart exp.17 in a cold place no excuse for this no reason what do I do never used it and never will again I buy blue dog food was out this was a quick fix
My dog loves this brand he won’t eat the top 10 i tried he snubs it. Kibbles and bits is his favorite
My brother had bought this dog food for both of our dogs. I had always bought the dog food, but anyway. first my dog started getting sick, black poop & then started pucking. now his dog is doing the same thing. I called a vet that said they take payments but have to pay $600 upfront…”money I don’t have” tried other sites that would help, but they don’t have any funds right now. wish I knew about the problems with this brand of dog food, for I would had never fed it to them.
my dog always loved kibbes but i put him on a sack of healthy weight dog food that worked mostly because he didnt eat as much.as a treat i bought a bag of kibbles and bits original /his favorite and within 24 hrs he was vomiting 12 hrs later he was weak listless and not moving around or eating anything.24 hrs later he has gotten better thank god.we have used this food for years.this must be a bad batch.
My dog has had loose and runny poop for over a week and I now suspect the latest bag of Kibnked and Bitts Small Bread… anyone else experiencing this with their dog?
Hi bought knb for my little dog and I notice this is the second one she has had were she started to shake and her eyes were dilated and were I tried to have her stand up she would walk like she was drunk this never happen before in till she started eating the knb I don’t no if it is from the food but all I no is she has never had this before with the other dog food.
How is your dog now? I ask because my dog of 14 years acted just as you described. I took her to the vet and was told they thought she had a stroke. She seemed to be getting better , back to playing and wanting to eat . A week later she was gone.
I bought my dog Ollie (jack russell) a small bag of Kibbles and Bits Chefs Choice Bistro dog food. For almost a week after i started it, he has been throwing up, with diarrhea. My boyfriend told me he has had kibbles and bits before, so i thought it would be ok. we found out it wasnt. I was looking for recalls on it and when i found your post and read it to him. OMG. i am so sorry for what Ollie has been going through. I only give my cat Friskies. I didnt want to harm any animal. Thank you so much
I am sure there should be a recall of kibbles and bits bistro meal dog food. I purchased 4 small bags ( they were buy one get one free) and every time I fed the bistro food my yellow lab who has a iron stomach for everything would end up throwing up. I still had one unopened bag in cupboard, and was intending to check for a recall or report to manufacturer and went out town for a few days. The dog was fed the kibbles and bits by mistake and again the dog was vomiting up the dog food.
We have never purchased Kibbles N Bits until this past weekend. My dogs have been vomiting 4-6 times per DAY since ingested. I am extremely upset. They are 15 month old Mastadors. I’ve never seen so much Vomit in my life. This is absolutely ridiculous. NEVER AGAIN will this crap be purchased.
I bought kibbles and bits to try on my dog. She had a allergic reaction to this dog food got really sick and died today with ur product. She always ate dry foods . This time I wanted to give her something special and it killed her..
