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

I got this brand because it was recommended by my sis dog's vet. The doggie gets all kinds of fat lumps from the food he eats, and he recently had to have a very large one removed, so I suggested to my sis that it is better to buy more-expensive food than pay for surgery and have the dog suffer, so she agreed. The important thing is that he likes this food. We have a lot of trouble with food because he is a picky eater, so I have to try different brands and see if he will eat it. That's how I picked the last brand that caused the big fat-lump. Ugh. So far, no lumps growing, so a great sign. I got the sensitive stomach cause he eats grass all the time, but it might be because of how he eats. (He eats breakfast and dinner at night on most days. : / ) I think he still wants to eat grass, so, not sure if that part works or is helping him, or if it is not the issue. Although, now his ALP level is rising and I'm not sure if this brand is the problem. This brand (different flavors) is all we are feeding him. I am testing that by changing the brand to another vet-recommended brand. So the jury is out on that part.Obviously, the price is the price. Cheaper is better, but what can you do? It is supposed to be higher in quality, so...The one thing that bugs me about this brand though, is that a lot of times, there are a lot of crumbs. Sometimes, a significant amount and if you were to toss it, well, that would be a few bucks in the trash, so I give it to the dog. He licks it up, so... Food is food, crumbs or no. lol You know that you would lick the crumbs of some delicious cake, so!

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** 09/27/2022My 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!!If you find my review helpful please click the helpful button below, as I wrote this in hopes it would help at least one person!

My dog wouldn't hardly touch his normal dog chow, then I got this stuff. He will now eat every bit of what I put in the bowl. Also, he is healthier and has more energy than ever before.

I love Purina products! This one is no exception. Works really well for my finicky eater. And my baby with an easily upset tummy.

My dogs likes the food and vet recommended it. However seem a little pricey

been feeding this to my year and a half golden. she seems to like it. haven’t seen any negative side effects yet

Great food. Our bernedoodle can't eat anything elseDiarrhea free since starting this flavor and brand.
