Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

Purina Bright Mind came highly recommended by our vet when my foster dog was first diagnosed with early-stage dementia. I began to see an improvement in just a few months. Her eyes are brighter - she seems more alert and aware of her surroundings. It's not a cure-all, but it certainly has helped. I highly recommend Bright Minds for any senior dog, especially those with a CCD (doggy dementia) diagnosis.

I know they changed the bag's appearance, but I didn't know they changed the food as well. I've gotten a couple of bags of the senior Adult 7+ food and the kibble was smallish pieces, but now there are these HUGE triangle pieces mixed in with the small pieces from before. Why did they do this? I wasn't sure if I messed up and got the large breed formula or not. I have a medium-sized dog but he swallows his food and I'm worried he'll choke on this. Now I wonder if I need to buy the small breed formula (even though my dog is not under 20lbs).

Three dogs won’t eat this food. For the first three days my dogs ate this food like it was steak. I have one dog who usually doesn’t eat until later in the day, but when she got a whiff of this she ate immediately with my other two dogs first thing in the morning. After three days she went back to eating late in the day. After three or four days one of my other dogs wouldn’t eat it until late in the day ( I assume when she got too hungry to refuse ). The third dog continued to eat it until yesterday and Maggie (like Mikey for those of you who remember) eats anything. None of them ate anything yesterday they all refused the food. So this morning, when they wouldn’t eat, I mixed canned food Three dogs won’t eat this food. For the first three days my dogs ate this food like it was steak.

I have ordered a new kind of dog food to try. … more

So what's with the tiny kibble size? I have gotten this food for my one dog for quite some time. Always had larger triangle kibble. now it is this tiny kibble. My dog ate it fine but I was afraid I bought the wrong food. On the bag In tiny writing it shows kibble size but you'd not see that when ordering online would you? You show the bag design changes but nothing states the change in kibble size. 4 stars only because no one warned me about kibble size.

Ordered this for the senior benefits. My dog absolutely hates it- we can't get her to eat it by adding pumpkin, yogurt, anything. I don't know if it's the taste, but from my perspective it doesn't smell great. Dogs lost some weight, so switching ASAP.

I bought this food after discovering it on the Chewy site. My dog Gracie, is 10 1/2 years old, and I've noticed lately that she is really slowing down. She's been acting strange, for example, suddenly getting up from her bed and going and sitting under the dining room table, trembling. For no apparent reason. I thought I'd give this food a try, since it's specifically for senior dogs, and might help her with her anxiety and "old age" issues. So far, she seems to love the food, eating it right up. Before, she'd take all day to eat her food. The pieces are smaller, which is easier on her teeth. All in all, I'm very happy with this product and I will continue to buy it through Chewy I bought this food after discovering it on the Chewy site.

Sadly I bought this one time and my old girl ate it.. I noticed she functioned better on it.. the canned was always sold out.. the second bag she refused to eat.. so I put back on canned of another brand.. no idea why all 3 dogs chose to stop eating it al together..

While this food has the same name as the last bag we purchased, the packaging was different and the food formula of ingredients were different - the kibbles were of much different size and color which is very unnerving for those who are careful about what they are feeding their pets.

It's hard to know whether this will help my 13-year-old dog, but he definitely doesn't like the flavor much. He only eats it if he is really hungry or if I mixed it with his other kibble. Also, the kibble is tiny -- more like cat food size than dog food size.

Paid the extra money to give it a try. Dog seems to be more alert and less like an achy old dog like she did a month ago. Will continue to purchase.
