Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Dog Food Salmon and Rice Formula – 30 Pound (Pack of 1)

HELPED MY FRENCHIE WITH ALLERGIES!
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!!

Wow! Made All the Difference!
Our dog had bout after bout of runny poops, and antibiotics only worked sometimes (she had an overgrowth of general bacteria). We realized she had a sensitive stomach, connected to emotions/events such as travel or changes in the house or visitors, etc. Our vet recommended this food, and we resisted, but we eventually tried it. Not only did our fairly picky eater love it (she devours it, whereas before she had to be coaxed to eat a full dinner regularly), she has had perfect poops ever since! It’s pricey but definitely worth the money–and so good for our dog’s digestive health. We love that it is a trusted brand, has rice in it (grainfree diets are not good for most dogs), and is loaded with salmon, a super-star protein. (For reference, our dog is a rough collie, not a breed generally known to have digestive troubles.)

My dogs eat it up
I have 2 small dogs and they are picky eaters. For years I fed them wet food and they gained weight and had loose stools. Also they were always itchy as if they had food allergies. I feed them now exclusively PPP Sensitive Skin with chicken or beef mixed in occasionally and I see a big difference. Nice coats, lost some weight and not nearly as itchy. Stool consistency greatly improved. It is a little more costly than I wish but the results are worth it.

I’m happy with this dog food, my dog stopped scratching and is doing well on it.

Use this food for both of my Frenchton`s who supposedly have delicate stomachs. Never had a problem with either of them. Also add a spoonful of the Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach Wet Dog food. Good value for great product.

My dog simply loves it.
