Purina Pro Plan Puppy Shredded Blend Chicken & Rice Formula with Probiotics Dry Dog Food

made my dog sick

I wasn’t going to write a review but since starting this bag he started having a ton of health problems. It started with diarrhea a week later he had a swollen lymph node. It’s been 2 months, thousands of dollars spent at the vet, many tears since starting this food, and only after switching the food have we seen improvement. I’m not sure what happened with this food but I switched over to royal canine. For more context A month after the swelling started the vet prescribed steroids to stop the inflammation because it had the potential to block his breathing tubes. The steroids helped and the swelling went down. A few weeks later the swelling started up again. The only change has been this food and over 15k has been spent on testing including ct scans, pokes, all types of lab testing and no actual sickness found.

sick since september 2023

Not sure what happened to this formula, but he’s had severe diarrhea since September due to this food. Been to two vets, two different medications just to get his belly back to normal. He’s been on this food his whole life, now all of a sudden? We are switching foods.

Tried a small bag at first, my lil shih-poo loved it. Transitioned over to the royal canin puppy/chiot - small bag just to try and my shih-poo was not a fan. We transitioned back to Purina Pro Plan & got the bigger bag this time. We haven’t had a single problem with it. Normal stool. Happy pup. Why fix something that isn’t broken? Had to come back it.

Storm

I ordered my first Purina pro Puppy food for my GSD Puppy. He loves it. Also thank you for the Chewy Cap and Ball that Storm loves playing with. I will definitely be ordering from Chewy again when I get low on Puppy food.

Wanted to like it

Unfortunately, ever since we switched my puppy to this food, he has been throwing up regularly and not eating his meals consistently. For a while, I thought it was the grass he was eating in our yard, but I’ve been watching him closely and preventing him from eating grass. We are still having problems. It’s a bummer because I bought a large bag. What a waste..

bad batch???

I have always fed my dogs Purina proplan and never had an issue.. until I got this bag and my puppy became extremely ill. Plenty of vet calls and visits and we narrowed it down to this bag being the source. I still love this brand and I’m very understanding but when it comes to a new puppy this was scary.

Got sick from this bag of food

This was our first 32lb bag of food. I was getting the 18lb bag. My 8 month old puppy got the runs and vomiting as soon as I opened this bag of food. $400 later and eating rice and chicken, he started back on the food. The runs started again so throwing it away - ugh. Switching to another food. I have heard other puppies having the same issue so they may have an issue.

My puppy loves it

We just adopted a 3 month old puppy who came to us on a diet that included this food. We’ve kept her on it and she loves it, especially the little dried pieces of shredded chicken. Chewy had the best price around and using auto-ship makes the food a little more affordable. Shipping was fast and free, no complaints!

Used this food for years

Show dogs to just house dogs this has been a favorite brand I wish the cost wasn’t so high and the size of bag keeps getting smaller . I guess inflation is just taking over our land

Mistaken Purchase

I mistakenly bought this food and did not see the probiotics in the description. My puppy had severe GI issues with this food due to the probiotics even though I transitioned the old food with this food for 2 weeks. Be wary with this food unless your puppy needs these probiotics. I ended up finding the regular food after this.
