Family Dollar - dog food

My dogs have gotten very ill very sick after buying a dog food from family dollar. I didn't know why they were sick until I decided to look at the dog food bag and noticed that the dog food sold there was a year expired. I. L brought it back to the store to show the bag expiration date and my dogs have ate the whole bag. They been throwing up and diarrhea and they just came from the vet and they were fine. I am making a complaint of this store having and selling expired goods to its customers. This is unacceptable and my dogs are very very very stress very sick. My email is [protected]@gmail.com

Bad business the 2 employees today 9/16/2019 at 7:09pm we're very apologetic and gave us a card.

Although the owners should buy a better brand of dog food for their fur babies, this isn't there fault. Family Dollar could and should be sued for allowing customers to purchase expired food. You have to display the product as expired or being near the expiration date. As customers, we place our trust in stores that they will provide properly dated items on their shelves.

PS- To the dog owners: Please research which food you buy for your pets. This brand of food has been recalled numerous times for making animals sick.

I'm not sure why you keep saying DOLLAR, DOLLAR. Do you think everything in the store is a dollar? It's not! I'm sure they paid anywhere from 15 to 20 dollars for that bag of food. It didn't cost a DOLLAR!
Now should the owners purchase a better brand from their Vet for a dog of this statue? Absolutely! However, Family Dollar is still at fault. By law they are required to check food expiration dates. Anything approved by the FDA for consumption cannot be stocked on shelves after the expiration date. It is illegal! If the dog owners choose to hire a lawyer and fight this. Family Dollar would be responsible for the Vet Bills and an legal fees. It's not the consumers responsibility to check for expiration dates, it's the stores.
