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

My dogs have sensitive stomachs. 1 is older and was a rescue who used to be able to eat anything, even any human food and be just fine. Now as she has aged many types of dog food, treats, and human food all make her sick and will cause blood in her stool. My vet recommended this for her and while it’s expensive, it’s the only food that works for her. I also have a much bigger 3 yr old Belgian Malinois who has a very sensitive stomach and sensitive skin. This is the only food that we are able to give and have consistently healthy, solid stool for her, shiny coat, and reduced itching. Been using this for about a year and a half with no issues and no plans on switching.

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!

When you have a dog with food sensitivities it can be hard to find food that works for them. This is our 2nd dog with food sensitivities. We learned before that Purina pro plan sensitive worked well with our other dog so we decided to try it with our current dog as well. Our dog loves this food. Her sore spots on her skin and ears cleared up within a week of switching her to this. We have found that the salmon and rice formula works well for her. Her coat is also much healthier looking.

We have bought this food for years for our 3 dogs. They all have different dietary needs and this food satisfies all of them. I even had to take one of my dogs to a veterinary dermatologist and she also raved about this food. It's a little pricey, but for small dogs it lasts us a while.

Purina Pro Plan is a food I trust for my girls. They prefer the smaller kibble size of the alternative salmon recipe, but they do fine on both.

Perfect for my bulldog. This food is literally the only one that doesn’t cause stomach issues and bad potty odors. It doesn’t contain trigger foods like chicken or lamb. Works better than a prescription diet.

This dog food is expensive but so worth it. My dogs used to have really bad allergies with the old food that I was feeding them, they would constantly chew on their paws, ever since switching to this dog food they no longer have any issues. I am so thankful for this product as my babies are no longer dealing with allergies & stomach problems. I will not change to any other food.
