Have you had personal exoerience negatively with it?
Pro Plan all the wayThe woman I bought my dog from is a Veterinarian. She was feeding him Purina Pro Plan Sport. I bought some yesterday. Was looking at ratings. It gets 5 stars by customers using it at Petsmart but dogfoodadvisor only gives in 2.5 stars. Any thoughts on this feed?
Any dog can have adverse reactions to any kind of feed.I actually have. My trainer used it for the dog during is 8 months of training. I left him on the food for 3 months while at home as an effort to try to keep him on one consistent food.
While the dog did not have any adverse reactions to the food, and while he could not speak to me to tell me there were any problems... I personally felt that he was acting a little more groggy and did not have the same pep in his step.
He also had a thinning in his coat and dulling in his coat that I did not like as well as a dermatitis in the skin that would come up every once in a while. I figured this was from just being at school and not being at the house, but it did not improve once he was at home.
I switched him to Fromm and his energy improved as well as a great improvement in his coat
I have not had personal experience with victor or 4health, but many people seem to like it and the ratings and ingredients are good
I ran out of his food one Sunday and decided I would give him an afternoon feeding from an unopened small bag of proplan that was given to me after I already switched. My dog turned his nose up at it and walked away. I have never had him once turn away from food, even when he was on the proplan, when he has been sick, or at any time.
Many trainers, including yourself use purina proplan and every dog is different and everyones opinion will be different. However, the next time my dog goes back to school I will supply his own food instead of the proplan
I do not think anything less of people who choose to feed their dogs the foods that they choose as I know everyone has the best of intentions, especially the people on here getting advice. (as long as its not ole roy haha)
my "opinion" remains that purina is not as good of a brand for the money and I personally do not think the ingredient list is as good as other foods available
I take my dogs to the vet once every 6 months regardless of if anything is due for a checkup, the vet sees nothing wrong with proplan and says he has a lot of dogs on it. I have several friends that are vets and also see nothing wrong with the food. It just remains that my opinion is that there are better options
We order online from Chewy Mostly when they have a sale, and order several bags at a time to take advantage of the sale priceAbsolutely, if you have ten dogs, you look at the price a lot more than a man with 1 or 2 dogs. I have 4 dogs (1 field Bred lab, 2 field Bred English cockers, and 1 feist/squirrel dog). The price difference between the different dog foods doesn’t mean that much when feeding a dog or two, but it does when you have ten dogs.
I can get proplan just about anywhere. I would have to drive 30 to 45 minutes to get FRM.
I actually started ordering dog food through AmazonPrime with free shipping a few months ago. Today, I switched to ordering through Chewy.com with free shipping, if you order over a certain amount. You might want to look into that.
