Purina Pro Plan 30/20 Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

We have been feeding our lab/mix Purina Pro Plan. Complete Essentials dog food..but since you were out of it, I ordered the ProPlan Performance and our dog ( who usually LOVES everything ) will NOT eat this food. If I mix it, she eats some..but I had to get more of the complete essentials from a local store and mix more of that in the bin with the Performance food before she would even touch her food.

Purina and Hills are the scientists for canine nutrition. They are constantly reviewing and testing their formulas. Many other companies copy the data they put out and there's nothing wrong with that. I just like going with the tried and true, longevity, few recalls...in essence the best for my dog!

I won't write a glowing review, because it's not necessary. I am 75 years old and have been owned by at least 30 dogs in my lifetime, along with numerous cats, horses, and cattle. I have fed Purina products to my animals for as long as I remember. I have strayed and tried other products, many very over priced ( and over touted in my opinion in many cases). But I always come back to this Purina Sport Pro even if I do feel cheated that the beef version is gone and also that they decided to add rice. But hey--the times they are a'changing and some of the changes are not good. But my dogs love this feed and I still feel it's the best. And as far as I know, it's the only brand that you can get in I won't write a glowing review, because it's not necessary.

I will keep buying it as long as Purina keeps up the research and making a completely safe and nutritious product -- I also wish I could know they source their animals from USA and certainly not China. Looking back on this review, maybe it does glow just a little. … more

The Pro Plan food seems to be going over very well. The dogs enjoy it. However, when I received the box containing almost 40 pounds of food, the taping was virtually off the box, making it difficult for this old lady to move it around. As it arrived on a rainy day, it was just irritating to try to wrestle it around. Better tape, please!!

The reviews mentioned their dogs suddenly stopped eating this food. I ignored it and bought it anyway. I’ve been trying to find adult food for my almost 1 year old puppy. She loved it from the start and now is not eating it. I’m having to put chicken broth for her to eat it. I’m totally sad bc I thought I found the food for her. Now it’s back to the drawing board.

Vet recommended this food. I was using a grain free dog food but two out of the three dogs started limping. We switched to this brand and we see improvements in the dogs. Less limping hopefully in time it will completely go away. I now have almost three 26 lb bags I need to get rid of that I don’t need since I switched over.

Our veterinarian suggested this higher calorie kibble since our standard poodles were eating well but still a bit thin. They liked the new food right away and we are looking forward to healthy weight gain.

Definitely my favorite food for my baby! Her vet recommended it to me after a scandal about the food the breeder had her own and she has been healthy as a horse ever since!

After a month of changing to this food my dog had her first Hot spot and a couple months later got another one and I had finally noticed how dry and rough her coat and skin had become. So for my dog, it was not a good fit.

Foods a little dry and taste nothing like chicken. I still haven’t seen any rice. It gets stuck in my teeth but the dogs seem to like it so we’ll keep it.
