Supercoat Adult Dog Food Questions & Answers
sodium content in supercoat adult dog food.
My 3 year old lab does very well on the healthy weight but this one I got today, tonight after having it for dinner the poor bugger has an upset stomach diahorrea and drinking heaps and is restless, I would not recommend this True Origin.
Gosh, that’s no good. Drinking water after eating dry feed is normal. My dogs are the opposite of your lab. They love the Salmon and Ocean Fish. Droppings are perfect consistency. Coles sent me Purina Supercoat recently as they had run out of True Origin and I had forgotten to select the Do Not Substitute, Just Leave It Out option. Now my border collie is having bouts of diarrhoea. So annoying after months of perfectly healthy working dogs!
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.
Hi Just got a bag of fish and Salmon supervisor. My dog had eaten the kangaroo variety before with out issue
My healthy beagle got sick in the first week, lost weight would eat anything,. Laboured breathing started this week died today
Vet found blood healthy, no fluid on lungs, didn't know what was happening
No proof that it was the food but had anyone had similar experiences

my dog is not well and I think its the food. he has lost so much of his coat and generally lost condition. I have taken him of this food and im feeding him a different diet, plus he is on medication from the vet. please be careful I would seriously not give my dog another bite of this product.
I have fed Supercoat to a numer of my dogs for some 15 years but now my 7yr old dog has had some problems with his digestion and I am very concerned.
Please let me know how much of each preservative (eg %) is in each bag of Supercoat and if the New variety has a different content?
I note there is very little differences between the different types as a variety of meat is in the different type. Please include Kangaroo flavour in your response. I am very concerned about kangaroo as it is carted long distances and probably has more preservative because of this.
How much Aflatoxin is added and is it according to the Australian Standard.
Do any dog food producers stick rigidly to the Standards and when will this stop being voluntary and producers prosecuted for using rubbish (eg chicken feathers and carcasses, stale meat, skin, fish (without listing it) and other inappropriate 'filters'.
Our dog has always had Purina Supercoat for small breeds,I purchased a new bag last week he ate some and within 5 mins had vomited it straight back up.As he eats it all the time just thought he was a bit off color but as soon as he ate it the next time same thing happened.Read on packet it is NEW formula has anyone else had this problem?
i went on this site to see if this has happend to anyone else .. yes my dog hasnt been the same on the new formular .vomiting and not been himself
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.
All 3 dogs wouldn't eat it, 2 pups & pups will eat almost anything. If you do some research on what ingredients are used you wouldn't feed it to your worst enemy. I was told by the vet to get the dogs off that rubbish, I'm now buying Black Hawk which is much better for them & no issues with them not eating.
I fed my chihuahua's supercoat puppy dry food
And 3 days later I went to take them out to the toilet during the night and found all 3 of my babies dead
The only thing that I had given them different was the supercoat dry food
