Lawsuit Claims Purina's Beneful Is Poisoning, Killing Dogs

A recent lawsuit filed against Nestle Purina PetCare Company is claiming that one of the company's most popular dog food brands contains toxins that are poisoning and even killing people's pets. 

The lawsuit, filed in California federal court last month by pet owner Frank Lucido, alleges that thousands of dogs have become ill or died as a result of eating Beneful dry kibble dog food. Lucido, whose three dogs all suffered symptoms synonymous with poisoning, is one of more than 3,000 complaints consumers have made online of dogs becoming ill and/or dying after eating the kibble. 

"There are no quality issues with Beneful," said Purina in a response statement. "We believe the lawsuit is baseless, and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves and our brand. Beneful had two previous class action lawsuits filed in recent years with similar baseless allegations, and both were dismissed by the courts."
