Purina Pro Plan i took Walker to the vet friday and he said that he was close to having an ear infection because his ears were really red. he said that he thinks its the food. he was on Canidae which he hadn't heard of and gave me a bag of Pro Plan. i looked at the ingredients and they seem pretty good. i was just wondering if anyone feeds their babies this stuff and how you like it. |
If it were me, I would not feed Purina under any circumstances - but that's me. GO here and read about Purina: http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_f...at=all&ppuser= Canidae, btw, is EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!! |
Hi, I feed Holly Purina Pro Plan for Small Breed Puppies. I've never had any problems at all and when I took her to the vet for a check up and her Rabies Vaccine he said she was doing excellent. I guess every puppy is different and I didn't read the reviews on the link provided because the food I use was not listed. I guess see how it goes and if you see your baby is not responding well to it, call your vet and ask if he suggests something else. I AM going to try Canidae since Holly's Easter Basket contained a small bag of kibble and some cans of Canidae. We'll see how it goes, but if it wasn't for receiving the free food in her easter basket, I probably would continue to buy the Pro Plan. Let me know how it goes. |

Purina is not a high quality food...Vets for some reason are always recommending low quality foods...I don't understand! Either Purina or Hill's... |
trust me i wasn't jumping for joy! well if he is allergic to the canidae i need something else to give him.... any suggestions? |
Hmmm, perhaps Timberwolf or Wellness? California Natural? |
I personally do not trust Purina as a company to feed my dog, and wouldn't feed their food to either of my pups. I seriously doubt your babies problem is quality of food if you are feeding Canidae. It is one of the highest quality organic foods on the market. Many vets haven't heard of it because it isn't a huge massive marketing company like many others that are out there. I've had both of mine on it for some time now and I have only seen good things come from it :thumbup: Perhaps you could try switching the flavor, they have three different kinds, maybe if he is allergic to a particular protien source it could be causing other problems to flare up. I know their Lamb formula is great for those that have food allergies. Hope everything works out for your baby! :thumbup: |
If he has allergies, you might try Natural Balance Duck & Potato or Venison & Brown Rice...I'll look up a few more, but this will give you a good start |
koolbreeze, go to www.dogfoodanalysis.com and look at all the 4 and 5 star foods....While you're looking through those, look for foods that have very FEW ingredients...These are usually good for allergies. Good luck! I have heard wonderful things about the NB Duck and Potato for allergies. |
ONE OF MY DOGS HAS SERIOUS ALLERGIES TO EVERYTHING I SWEAR, SO I FEED ALL OF MY DOGS EITHER SOLID GOLD OR THE ALLERGY FREE FORMULA NATURAL BALANCE-DUCK AND POTATO OR VENISON AND BROWN RICE. THEY WORK SO WELL, MY DOGS LOVE THEM. THEY ARE FREE OF FILLER AND PRESERVATIVES. MY LITTLE ONES COATS ARE AWESOME AFTER I SWITCHED TO THESE FOODS!:thumbup: |
Also, I Checked On That Dog Food Analysis And Solid Gold Is 5 Star Dog Food And Natural Balance Is A 4 Star, Pretty Good! |
So do you guys think that my puppy is at risk for something since she eats Pro Plan? I have to admit that ever since I joined this website, I have bought a lot of things that I never imagined ever buying for a puppy.LOL.. Either way, like I said before, I wouldn't intentionally hurt my puppy. I just wanted to know if I should just start feeding her the Canidae now and throw out the rest even though she's doing just fine. |
Great. I just read the reviews and I went from feeding Holly a 5 star food to feeding her a 2 star. The breeder gave me Premium Edge Puppy Formula and I still have some. But I have been mixing it with the Pro Plan because I couldn't find it anywhere. I guess I will order it online. It's in the same category as Canidae so I should be okay right? What do you guys think. Should I just feed her the Premium?(SIGH) I'm so confused. |
I have used ProPlan for 3 years with Cody. Never any ill effects. HOWEVER, since the recall on all the foods I did switch to Canidae and Merrick brands. I personally do not trust any food sold in stores anymore. But again I never had any problems with Cody on ProPlan. I honestly don't think a food can cause and ear infection though. Isn't it a type of bacteria that causes ear infections because they are treatable with antibiotics? But again I have NO idea cause I am not a VET :D I also had no idea that ProPlan was not a good food until I found YT. :thumbup: |
