Miracle dog food for a two year battle with serious skin. Thank You Purina Pro Plan Focus!!!

I don’t normally write a lot of reviews, but for this product, I felt I needed to make an exception. When I explain why I am so happy with this product, I think anyone who loves their dog will understand. I currently have three dogs in my home. Two of them belong to my husband and me and the third is a 14-15 year old foster named Frankie. We have had Frankie for over two years now. At this point we are convinced he is with us to stay. Frankie’s story is sad. He had been found on the side of a busy road bloody and broken. I went to where he was being cared for, to foster another dog, and when I saw Frankie, I had to take him too. The other dog was adopted a week later and Frankie has been here since. Frankie is a Pekingese. I am convinced that someone must have poured something over his back. He is completely bald on his back and neck. Unfortunately he has the worst skin I have ever seen on a dog. For the past two years we have been to two different vet offices. We’ve tried numerous treatments (holistic as well as prescription). We’ve tried different oils, creams, and shampoos. This poor little guy was getting three baths a week because of the blood and scales that constantly formed on his body. I was almost ready to just give up and accept that there was nothing that could be done for this poor dog. All I could do is try to keep him as comfortable as possible. Now, for the happy ending… I just happened to find this Pro Plan Focus on Amazon. I wasn’t sure if it would work, but, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. Frankie has been on this new food for about a month now and the results are absolutely amazing. We are down to giving Frankie only one bath a week now and his skin is looking absolutely fantastic! I know he will never grow hair on his back or neck (I make him wear a shirt at all times just to keep his skin protected), but, I am amazed that the scales have not formed anymore and there is no more bleeding. He has even started to act like a dog for the first time since we have had him in our home. He actually runs and plays. For the entire time he has been in our home his activity level has been blinking. Thank You Purina Pro Plan Focus for this amazing miracle food. Our other dogs have always eaten Purina Pro Plan. I wish the Focus was in our stores. I will just have to keep getting it through Amazon.

Dogs are happy

My dogs love this food. Given the gigantic price increase during the pandemic, this was a good price compared to what I could find locally. The packaging was awesome and it arrived on time. Happy dogs and wagging tails!

Dog kind

This is the only food type my pit can eat AND him not have horrid gas, or a flaky coat. This brand is extremely endive but absolutely wouldn’t go to another one and I tried 3 different brands.

Best dog food!

I have 3 French Bulldogs and 1 English bulldog all 4 of my dogs seem to have food allergies of chicken but also and poultry. Almost all dog foods have some sort of poultry fat Purina Pro Plane salmon and rice does not have any poultry. My dogs love the taste and they have such amazing shiny soft coats now! This is the only dog food I would ever recommend !

Highly Recommend > Stop Harmful Grain Free Food

At a recent veterinarian appointment for my 8 year old Mini Australian Shepherds the doctor made me aware that the grain free diet I was currently using had been linked to heart disease & heart failure. I was shocked.My dog is my entire world & I thought the expensive food I had been choosing was the best for her. The veterinarian, despite being busy in the midst of the pandemic, sat on a video consult with me after they brought my dog back to the car. She elaborated by walking me through the extensive various studies, the heart condition itself which is called canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). She explained that grain-free pet foods rely on lentils, peas, and potatoes to replace grain. They lack a key ingredient dogs require, taurine which is an amino acid used in the production of protein. The lack of this taurine is what the studies have shown increases the risk of your dog developing DCM, even in breeds not prone to heart disease.She recommended I made the transition to Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin & Stomach Salmon & Rice Formula since it has Salmon as the first ingredient, in addition to omega fatty acids which aide in for joint health and mobility – especially important now that my dog is 8 & considered a senior. It also does NOT include corn, wheat or soy, and without poultry by-product meal.I made the transition in April & my dog has her energy back. She’s truly got a pep in her step back. I haven’t changed anything besides her food & credit this switch. When it comes to dog food you don’t always get what you pay for & I learned that the scary way. I hope that the years I fed her grain free doesn’t negatively impact her in the future & I’m just blessed that the vet took the extra time to discuss all of her daily rituals to find this mistake so I could fix it.I highly recommend this product, especially to anyone who’s currently feeding their pup a grain free diet!

Satisfied dog and owner

I’ve had to purchase vet food for my older dog and she has had history of stomach sensitivity. This food satisfies her and doesn’t upset her stomach.

Great for digestive health

So happy I found this exact mixture and product. It has been the only food to correct my Boxer’s digestive health. No more throwing up bile, no more soft poop or diarrhea! Coat is back to being soft and shiny.I’m not happy it’s so EXPENSIVE!

Purina Pro for Sensitive Skin and Stomach

My beagle is 9 years old and around 35 pounds. Purina Pro Sensitive Skin and Stomach with the Probiotic has helped with the itching and digestive issues. I tried a lot of other top brands or resorting back to foods he liked in the past but it would give him acid reflux or constipation. Since putting him on this food in May 2022, he seems to enjoy it and its good for his digestive issues. The itching has stopped almost completely and its rare if he vomits or has acid reflux issues. It is a little pricey but worth it if my dog is happy. I’m a satisfied dog mom knowing my fur baby is better.

The best!

This is the only food my picky dog seems to enjoy. It has solved all of his stomach issues! It also has helped solve his itchy skin and aggressive shedding (along with added fish oil)!

Good product just OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive

Too Amazon’s defense, this product is expensive everywhere. Not worth the premium price.
