Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach Dry Dog Food, Salmon, 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!!

I am taking the Purina Pro Plan 28 day challenge with my sweet old girl, Angel. Her skin was in such bad shape. She was getting new hot spots almost daily. I've spent a fortune on chlorhexidine, bathing her 3 times a week with chlorhexidine foam between baths, allergy meds, Zyrtec, Apoquel, etc. When I came across this 28-day challenge, I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try. These After pics are day 10 of being on the food. Not only is her skin clearing up, her constant ear infections are GONE, and she is as spunky as a puppy again! This is the first time we've seen her run the zoomies in months and months. She also loves it. She gobbles it down right away. This is her new permanent food!

This has helped my dogs a lot with their itching and skin allergies. They love the kibble and will even eat this one plain, without a topper. This brand is so good, and you can tell it is fresh (it literally smells like salmon). The size of the bag is great value for money. It lasts my three dogs almost a whole month. The food is good for their health.

I purchased this for my 2yo blue pitbull that has allergies to food and environmental allergies. She had red and irritated patches of skin. Her skin was flaky like dandruff and overall she smelled like a frito. During the first month I noticed her skin didn't appear as red and she seemed to stop itching as much, but her skin was still flaky and rough looking. The second bag came in and I literally had only been serving her that bag for about 4 days when she started to violently throw up. She refused to eat for 2 days (would only drink water) and continued to throw up. She maintened normal bathroom habits so it made me wonder if it was the food since she wouldn't touch the food anymore, but kept puking. I bought her a different kind of food and tried it with her and after about 2-3 days of not eating she got sick omve from eating so much (she dived into the new food when she wouldn't touch her old food). She did throw up a small amount the first time and I believe it was from eating so much after not eating for several times, but she's stopped getting sick. I went and looked through these reviews and was astonished at how I missed other reviews that were similar to mine (about their digs getting sick). I feel like I poisoned my dog by giving her this food and will never buy it again. Edit: after speaking with other people whom have gave this to their dog I decided to buy in store to ensure that the food was fresh. My pup has been on it now for 3 months and her hot spots have all but disappeared and her hair shedding has decreased significantly. Her skin is still flaky as it's healing, but this has been the only change. I have bought one bag off this supplier out of those three months and no ill effects. I'm assuming I got a bad bag of food. I would again recommend this to any dog owner who has a dog with food allergies. It's greatly helps with their skin issues.

My dogs love this food! And they are picky. The salmon smell is strong so be prepared. They like the small bite size.

I was using a vet prescribed food that was $150 a bag. I did some research and took a chance on this. It really helped with my dogs itchiness and he licks his paws a lot less now in fact. He is a picky eater and likes this blend.

I bought this because I was buying a liver flavored Purina kibble, and my dog started showing allergic signs. Discovered that even though it was liver flavored it had chicken in it. Started buying this stuff cuz it does not have chicken in it. My dog's doing better. She likes to taste and she eats it right up. Worth the money.

My dog loves this and never gets sick of it. He has bad allergies and is on medication for his skin, and he seems to tolerate this dog food more than any other. He eats it all up every day at mealtime.

Llegó en buen estado y a tiempo. Gracias

Muy buena calidad y entrega oportuna

Great quality and my dog loves these. All the hype of new-age foods don’t sway me. Great ingredient list and breeders trust this so do I. My dogs have lived long healthy lives on Pro Plan.

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.

My dog is 14 and this food keeps her joints and body working well.
