DO NOT FEED THIS TO YOUR DOG!!! I started feeding my very healthy retired greyhound Wilber, Beneful Healthy Weight dry dog food because my vet said he was getting a little heavy. Mind you he had just passed his annual wellness vet check with flying colors a few months before. He ate the Beneful HW for a while fine, then he started to lose his appetite and developed a little hacky cough. When the vomiting started I took him to the vet. They asked if he had gotten into anything poison like antifreeze. I checked in the house and yard and he hadn't. They gave him something for nausea and said to feed him just chicken and rice diet for several days and he should be fine, probably just a stomach bug. I fed him the chicken and rice I cooked and he got better.
After a few days I started feeding him the Beneful HW dog food again and once again he started to lose his appetite and developed a little hacky cough. When the vomiting started again he threw up 5 times in 4 hours. We went back and forth to the vet over the next few days. They gave him antibiotics, force feed him and gave him IV fluids and he continued to get worse. My regular vet and the vet at the Animal Emergency Hospital kept asking is he had gotten into anything poison. I said no I was sure. He stopped eating, became weak, had a high fever, drank a lot of water, urinated a lot, his kidneys shut down , pancreas shut down and he started to bleed out and had a seizure. He was in so much pain and was not getting better. I finally had to put him to sleep.
I wish now that when I stopped giving him Beneful and changed to other brand of dog food. I have no proof but it seems odd that so many others have had similar problems with Beneful. I never thought it could have been the food.

I bought this dog food because the bag showed pictured of veggies and chunks of meat, and with a name like "Beneful" I thought I was purchasing a nutritious brand of dog food. My dogs did eat this food, but after reading the ingredients I completely regret purchasing it and feel just awful for feeding it to my dogs. The first three ingredients are Ground yellow corn, chicken by-product meal, and corn gluten meal. How disgusting is that?! The main ingredient is a corn filler. One thing my vet told me a while back that I never forgot: "When you eat corn, what comes out of the other end? The same thing happens with dogs." Basically, dogs cannot digest corn, it is just a filler and causes them to actually eat more to feel full, poop out more, and retain less nutrients. The only meat in Beneful at all is a by-product, its not even a real meat! By-products are the stuff leftover once all the actual meat is harvested. We're talking beaks, chicken feet, eyeballs, even chicken poop! I would not recommend this product to anyone, for any reason, ever. It is an absolutely awful dog food. I can't believe the pictures of veggies and full chunks of meat on the bag can be allowed to be on the packaging of such a disgusting product; it is very misleading and should be considered false advertising.I recommend to stay far away from Beneful, and most Purina products. When purchasing a dog (or cat) food, the most important thing to consider is the first 3 ingredients; just make sure those first three are decent ingredients that you would eat yourself. Now that I know what to look for, I usually buy my pets all natural, organic foods such as Blue Buffalo, Halo or Wellness.
