Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Dog Food Dry, Adult Salmon & Rice Formula, Digestive Health - 30 lb. Bag

I wanted to wait a little while before writing this review to see if it was really going to help or not. My French Bulldog Maelee had been suffering from food allergies for the past couple years. We had went to the vet numerous times and she had to be given antibiotics and ear drops that she had to take on a weekly basis for maintenance to keep ear infections from returning. I did some research on my own, to figure out that recurring ear infections are often a sign of food allergies or intolerance. I switched her food a couple times, trying to steer away from Chicken and just change the protein and I didn't see a change until I switched to this food. Since this wasn't a typical limited ingredient diet, rather a specialty diet I thought it was worth a shot it being a little bit cheaper than some of the other options but quiet a bit more expensive than the Purina Beneful or Purina One SmartBlend. I had initially started out with Beneful then changed to Purina one Smartblend with chicken then switching to lamb and it was with those dog foods she was having the allergic reactions to. She would shake her head, scratch her ears, bite her feet, and rub against the furniture all the time like she was so miserable. She would scratch scabs in her ears and it absolutely broke my heart, I can’t take that!! I knew I had to do something and not let her suffer, she is my baby. The vet didn't mention allergies after the few times we kept taking her back for ear infections, but I'm a responsible pet owner and did the research myself to figure out the cause. (No offense to our vet he’s a wonderful doctor) If your dog is suffering from allergies this food is a really good choice and worth a try. While it may be a little pricey it is well worth the reward in your dog will be a lot happier and healthier. Since switching to this food, she is no longer itching, biting her feet and we have weaned off of the maintenance ear drops from the vet even. I couldn't be happier~! The quality of life when a dog has allergies has to be absolutely miserable. I was determined to keep switching, paying any amount of money to get my dog back to normal. We also tried the Zippy Paws Aller-Immune chews right around the same time we switched to this dog food, and I'm still giving her those as well. Some of the other reviewers said there were bugs in this dog food. There were no bugs in our bag of dog food and Salmon is the first ingredient. Reading the list of ingredients is a lot better compared to some of the other dog food brands in this category. I couldn't recommend this dog food enough, and I'll continue to dish the money out each month to give it to my dog if that means she doesn't have to suffer from itchy skin and ear infections. If your on the fence about buying this because of all the negative reviews regarding bugs, I inspected my bag thoroughly and there were NO BUGS! Also Purina has very good quality control and I am loyal to this brand. **UPDATE** 09/27/2022 My Frenchie has had to go back to the maintenance ear drops from the vet. It’s luckily just a call in prescription no longer requiring an exam every time but she does have to take them again. I don’t think it’s anything to do with her diet anymore rather environmental allergies on top of the protein sensitivity. This food is still working great for her. When the ear infection returned we decided to switch to Hills prescription diet d/d salmon formula, buying it from our local vet and was a lot more expensive than this food. We kept her on that for months but no change in her ears so we switched back to this. I’m still happy with this food and know it’s made her allergies a lot better. There’s just unfortunately not much you can do for environmental allergies besides allergy medicine to help from the vet. We limit her treats and try to stick with single ingredient freeze dried salmon. She’s my life and I would do anything for her. Hope this helps other dogs with food sensitivities feel better too!!

My dog did wonderful with this. He has a sensitive stomach and this was perfect. Great for digestion.

My dog is loving it and no allergy issues any more.

So glad I switched my lab to this food. He was on the regular Purina pro plan food and it was messing with his stomach. This has been a game changer! We no longer hear his tummy rumbling daily! He loves it just the same. There was nothing wrong with the regular food (our other dog still uses it) but this was so worth trying! Now it’s all we buy him!

Love that this is delivered to our home instead of having to go to a store and lug it across the store and to my car and then into our house. I love that it is a much larger size than I can get in the grocery store. My dog loves the taste.

We had one of those situations where our dog seemed fine but kept having intermittent digestive issues that no one could quite pin down. The vet suggested trying a sensitive stomach formula, and this salmon and rice version has been the answer. Salmon as the first ingredient is a nice change of pace from chicken-based formulas, and it is a good option for dogs that have shown sensitivities to more common proteins. The rice base is easy on the digestive system, and the added omega fatty acids have done visible work on coat condition over several months of feeding. The 41-pound bag is a real value for larger dogs or multi-dog households, though you will want a good airtight storage bin. Performance-wise, our dog took to it immediately with zero food snobbishness, which is saying something. The formula is made without artificial colors or flavors, and Purina manufactures it in their own US facilities. As with any food transition, go slow over about a week to let the gut adjust. After that, this has been a reliable, consistent daily staple that our dog clearly enjoys and tolerates well.

My boy dog is a fussy eater. He always has been; wouldn't eat puppy food and I suspect he's harboring the soul of a French chef. But he loves this food. He does like salmon (sometimes I steam up some salmon and give the dogs a treat.). And he was very impressed with this food. He cleared his bowl of kibble and went after the other dog's (naughty) and normally he only picks away at kibble during the day. Poodles can tend to have sensitive skin (single coat, no undercoat) and they also can be sensitive to chicken. Salmon and rice is a very good combination and he's doing very well on Pro Plan Lamb. This variety of kibble has him interested in his food and it's made of good ingredients. The kibble is the right size for him (he's a 65lb dog) and it's formed of triangular-shaped kibble that are uniform in appearance. He seems to have no problem with digestion. He's a very healthy boy and since changing dog food can be a bit tricky with poodle tummies, I'm going to keep him on this as long as his health is maintained at a good level. The bag is a bit heavy for me, so I put it in a storage bin to keep it fresher and allow me to scoop out his dinner more easily.

My large and small doodle have been eating this for many years and never have any stomach problems at all. The delivery is amazing especially having a regularly scheduled delivery we never run out.

Very pleased with this food overall. The salmon and rice formula is simple, balanced, and made with quality ingredients that seem easy on digestion. It’s nice to have a reliable option without a lot of unnecessary fillers. My dog has a sensitive stomach and this has been a great alternative to other kibbles we’ve tried. Since switching, digestion has been more stable, stools are consistent, and I’ve noticed less itching and irritation. His coat also looks a bit healthier and shinier. The kibble size is just right, and it doesn’t have an overpowering smell. It feels like a dependable, well-rounded choice for everyday feeding, especially for dogs with sensitivities. Definitely recommend.

This is one of the most nutritionally sound, nutritionally researched and trial tested (something I researched on my own as did her specialist), and tasty (according to my dog) foods on the market.

I wish it was a bit more affordable but I guess that’s the cost of having a sensitive dog. This one keeps our dog having regular healthy poops.

Muy buena calidad y entrega oportuna
