Case overview
What this settlement is about
No settlement has been reached here — this is a brand-new putative class action, still in its early stages. Plaintiff Mina Maiman claims Petco's WholeHearted grain-free dog food is marketed as delivering "complete nutrition" and "maximum benefits," but alleges the products are actually nutritionally unbalanced, can lead to nutritional deficiencies in dogs, and are associated with a heightened risk of canine heart disease.
