Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

My pup (cocker spaniel, 18mo) was on a hydrolyzed prescription diet (venison) for about a year due to food allergies and digestive processing problems. I had snuck her some tuna during part of her food trial, and she seemed to tolerate it, so the vet suggested the Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice formula as a possible step-down. We've been on it for about 10 days after a gradual transition, and it seems to be working well. Still keeping an eye on her, but I'll be super thrilled if we can have a doggie lifetime that isn't entirely on prescription diet. She certainly likes the food better than the prescription. It has a slight fishy smell, but we keep food in an air-tight container, and this My pup (cocker spaniel, 18mo) was on a hydrolyzed prescription diet (venison) for about a year due to food allergies and digestive processing problems.

I did a bunch of research and switched to Diamond Natural (from Purina pro lamb puppy) thinking that my 11-month-old would benefit from the quality ingredients… After slowly transitioning the food we discovered that she did not take well to it at all. We dealt with nearly 3 weeks of diarrhea and odd temperament as well as itchy skin. Finally, after seeing the veterinarian, we came back to Purina Pro, this time trying out the sensitive skin and stomach formula. Within four days of the transition to the new food we already noticed a positive change. After the full transition she finally got back her original stool which was nice and firm, and very healthy.

Her skin on her belly has also cleared up for the most part. People make comments about this not being a quality product, but I disagree. The ingredients are helping my dog have healthy skin and healthy poops so I don’t possibly see how this could be a bad thing! Overall, A+ ...we’re so grateful to have found this formula. … more

I have been feeding my dog Purina Pro Sensitive Stomach Salmon flavor exclusively for over a year and a half. I buy the 5 lb bag so go through a bag a month. My dog would eat his meals very quickly, but then in April he stopped and is not a picky eater. Same thing that other recent reviewers mentioned. When I fed him a scoop from a new bag, he wouldn’t eat it. At first I thought maybe he wasn’t feeling well or there was something wrong with that particular bag. That wasn’t the case. Even with trying another new bag and also trying the lamb sensitive stomach he still wouldn’t eat. I think the formula changed. He will eat the wet version of Purina Pro Sensitive Stomach, though, and loves that.

I am very happy so far with my choice. Myles is a 1 yr old english cream golden retriever who had solid BMs in the morning and they would get progressively loose through out the day. He has been on this particular Purina Pro Plan for 2 weeks so far, still introducing it with his old dog food, but have already seen an improvement. His BMs are much more solid...still has them several times a day, but that just must be the way his system works. I expect this product to continue to improve his digestion issues. Yeah!!

My Sadie is a blue nose pit. Poor thing has such bad allergies. We have tried so many different types of food. Some help curve the allergies and skin irritation but most still leave her red and itchy. After doing some research decided to give this brand and recipe a try. We also got the added probiotic packs for the first month. Within TWO DAYS her skin looked less red and not as itchy. Now her skin seems to be back to her normal color and her itching is much less. Her awful smell she had has also disappeared. Hopeful that we finally found a food to help our sweet girl have better quality of life with less skin and allergy irritation.

We'd used this variety several years ago and have recently switched back at the request of Wally's nutritionist. His transition to this food went smoothly. I was concerned due to many recent reviews citing issues dogs were having due to a manufacturing change in the formula. Unrelated to that, It is high in Omega 3 so if you are supplementing with Omega 3, it would be wise to have your vet check to see what your dog's total daily intake is. Wally loves it. It would be very helpful if a manufacturer could advise existing user's of a formula change so they could do a slow transition - perhaps that would have avoided many of the issues users have experienced.

We switched to this food after experiencing loose stools and chronic colitis with Putin’s Pro Plan Sport, and have had huge success! Apparently our girl must have a wheat or corn sensitivity because once we removed those from her diet and went to this salmon and rice formula, her stools are much healthier. We’re very happy, and highly recommend trying this brand if your pup is also having chronic digestive issues.

I highly recommend this brand! I have an 11 year old husky shepherd who has developed stomach issues cause from what I believe his GI track, he had diarrhea constantly and loss of appetite. This food has helped him do a complete turn around ! I highly recommend this ! I also give it to my 2 year old German shepherd husky mix, he was developing skin sensitivity issues and they are completely gone ! I also give them the probiotic powder with this by Purina Pro. 5 stars for me !

I was trying a different food to see if it would help firm up my pup’s stool. He can’t have any poultry or egg, and I wanted something with-grain. He will usually eat everything, and I mean everything! Except he wouldn’t touch the Purina ProPlan Salmon and Sensitive Stomach. It’s a shame, I know lots of dogs who have done well on this food in the past. But it just wasn’t for us, I guess. Moved on a different brand and he’s doing well, so far.

Our pups have been on the pro plan salmon for quite some time. Unfortunately THIS bag did not have the same consistency of the previous purchases. The pups were reluctant with the first bowl, but now are satisfied with this different consistency. I wish manufacturers would notify customers of changes because I would have liked to gradually changed our blue heelers over to the new texture.
