I have a senior German Shepherd & found the live worms in his shredded ProPlan food....purina sent me coupons too. Today I found live worms in his other Purina food-large breed & puppy food! At a loss now! Glad I found your thread! Obviously something at Purina isnt right! I can understand 1 bad bag, but this is sickening!

Where did you purchase it?

At a Menards near me......really puzzling! The girls at the return counter said it happens all the time!

We have been buying it there for YEARS! (We paid big money for dog food for our 1st German Shepherd-he was poisoned by the IAMS food recall years ago!!! It actually killed him) I thought Purina would be a better option)
I don't want to switch his food-but I also don't want him eating worms!
I think it is a problem at the manufacturing plant

I live in Illinois & purchase my Purina Pro Plan from Menards (home inprovement store). I have been buying it for years with no issues.....discovered a wormy bag this Novemeber! My dog had eaten half the bag! It was shredded chicken
I have received coupons from Purina, but discovered more worms in another bag of Pro Plan (Puppy)
I have an underweight German Shephard, and we mix 3 different kind of ProPlan

I completely forgot about them changing the bags until you reminded me! I wonder if they changed anything else at the plant to cause this widespread issue?

I'm glad you called Purina too! I spoke at length with them about this problem, and they do seem concerned. I went through the bag of large breed kibble (that I have not found any worms in) scoop by scoop. But I did have infestation in the chicken chunks exactly as you stated & found worms in the puppy kibble. I put the current bag of dog food outside for 3 days during our below zero weather. I wanted to change food, but have read similar stories online about other food! Going to keep a CLOSE eye on the dog food. I told Purina to GOOGLE worms in food, because it is all over the internet.........very upset this has happened. I am also purchasing from a smaller pet food store that does not have a huge warehouse of food stored. My wormy bag came from California

I always thought that too, until I witnessed first hand the worms hatching out of the shredded dog food. I posted pics on this site previously of the worms IN THE DOG FOOD.......Purina did not ask for a sample when I called them. It took a simple google search to find others with same problem I had.
Do not be so quick to judge.....this is not a storage problem-it is a manufacturing issue
