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

Our adult Lab, Jackson, was developing occasional “hot spots.” Our vet suggested that the chicken in our current food (Eukanuba, Lab Specific and also an excellent product) might be the cause (we’re not sure, the pup was never tested for allergies). We switched to this Purina product on his recommendation. It is salmon based, and we noticed an immediate improvement in frequency and volume of elimination. He loves the product and has a bit more energy now that he did previously. Also a lot less itching. It also helps that the serving size for the product is a bit larger than the previous product; Labs do love to eat.

I bought two 41lb bags of this food to make sure I give it a decent try. I have 2 large dogs eating this food so it won't take long to go through since they both eat about 3 cups of food a day. So far I can tell you that their gas is awful, and the food smells like cat food (maybe because of the Salmon?). They definitely like the food, although the smaller pieces took a bit to get used to (small like cat food lol). I did notice my one dog is having some "leakage" from her anal glands now which is unusual for her. The smell is hard to miss so if you've dealt with this you know exactly how I know that is happening. I changed to this hoping it would help my other dog who DOES have issues I bought two 41lb bags of this food to make sure I give it a decent try.

I will update my review once I am done with the 2 bags and adjust to 5 stars if everything is good. I am hoping the anal glands issue will resolve, I can deal with the smell of the food cause most dog food is funky smelling... this one is just extra smelly. It's definitely trial and error, one food will not always be great for all dogs. … more

My 5 yo shepherd lab mix has been on this food for a year for skin allergies on her tummy. It seemed to be working for the last 10 months or so, but recently she's had big gas problems and her stomach has been very gurgly. She's also not interested in it anymore, I think maybe because it's salmon and she's always been iffy with fish flavors. She has always been a grazer, but now she looks at it and walks away to beg for carrots or apples instead. Additionally, she gained 11 pounds in one year on this food, probably from the high fat content? Anyways, just seems like it's time for us to move on to something new. Likely trying Blue Buffalo this time around and hopefully she finds that to taste My 5 yo shepherd lab mix has been on this food for a year for skin allergies on her tummy.

My two dogs (7 year old Am Staff and 8 year old Black Lab) been on this food for about a year. Both their coats look healthy and shiny. The gas problem we had with these two was enough I actually was pricing out gas masks! Since switching and giving their bodies time to adjust (it takes a few months) there has been a huge improvement is their gas and the quality of poop (never thought I would comment on poop in a review). My Staffy has severe environmental allergies and the food hasn't done much for that but he does have a corn allergy and there is none in this food. Overall I think this food is great for my two knuckleheads.

My dog has a very sensitive stomach and is allergic to most land proteins. I went with PPP Salmon in hopes it would harden her stools and improve her coat. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for my pup. Her stools were better than they were on other foods and this seemed to upset her stomach a lot less but it still required daily supplements to help her gut. She did love the flavor though! I assumed I would have to go with a prescription food since PPP didn’t work, but I eventually found a different food brand that works for her and requires no additional supplements

After talking with a customer service rep at Chewy, I decided to try Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin and Stomach. I could not be happier! This summer has been hard on my fur baby because of allergies, having scaly skin, constant scratching, hair loss, getting dull and even falling out. With the recommendation of this food and a visit to the vet, my boys skin is less flaky, less itchy and his once dull coat is coming back shiny and beautiful again. I am so grateful to the experts at Chewy for suggesting this!

Our Mickey loves this food. She used to always struggle with belching & regurgitating her food. We tried different brands and finally found Purina Pro Plan. She’s a very athletic girl so we started with Sport. She still belched and infrequently brought it back up. We decided to stick with the Pro Plan program and try sensitive stomach and skin instead: SHE HAS BEEN THRIVING EVER SINCE!! The only thing I can say is that I wish they had more flavors for “sensitive stomach & skin” program in case she ever gets bored of it (but we mix in an egg or rice to keep it interesting for her). Otherwise, A++!

There's nothing wrong with this food... It's just not controlling the dog's skin problems as well as grain free Fromm's lamb or salmon did. I like Fromm's ingredients, local Wisconsin connection, & multi decade safety record. I switched during the grain free food scare, but have since had to go back to half Fromm's and it's better again. I don't like some of the ingredients in the Purina vs Fromm's but the dog likes both and digestion/stools are good. Sensitive stomach has not been the issue for our dog, but common proteins like chicken, beef and pork don't work. As for healthy, silky, shiny, soft coat, it's not bad on Pro Plan alone, but better on Fromm's GF. Vet has suggested trying just Purina There's nothing wrong with this food...

My puppy was just about to turn 1 year old. We needed to switch him from puppy formula to an adult formula. He had been on Nutro puppy the entire first year. We noticed that he was no longer finishing his meals. He was just kind of snacking all day. We decided to switch him to Purina Pro Plan. We went with the sensitive skin and stomach formula because we avoid corn, wheat, and soy. We also wanted to avoid chicken in his food. This formula is made with salmon. He practically inhales his food now. He doesn't leave his dish until his meal is gone. I dont even have to mix scraps from the fridge in with it to get him to eat.

We switched our Rottweiler, Misha, to this food because our vet thinks she may be allergic to the chicken which is in most dog foods. It’s too soon to tell if it’s helping her allergy, but Misha absolutely loves the food. She’s a grazer and usually her bowl still has food in it till evening. Not anymore! It’s usually empty by late afternoon if not before. Her coat is really smooth and seems shinier, too. Kudos to Chewy, as well, for the amazingly fast delivery!!!
