Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend Adult Dog Food Reviews

My dog Rebel is pretty fussy about the dry food he eats. Most times, it's necessary to mix his dry food with people food to get him to eat it. I received a sample package of Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blend Adult Dog Food in the mail the other day. It was different from any other dry food we have tried and my dog really liked it.

Pro Plan Shredded Blend Chicken and Rice formula is a new and different type of dry dog food from Purina. It's a mixture of hard kibbles and tender shredded pieces with real chicken as the #1 ingredient. The packaging states that the rice and whole...

We tried the Purina Pro plan because it has the essential fatty acids that were reccommended for our dogs' skin.  We have a 7month old westie and a pittbull that suffers frequently from hotspots and rashes and we were told that she needed to have more fatty acids in her diet.  We thought we had found the miracle food until the beginning of this week. 

After weaning her off of her old food we started giving her only the pro plan, and on monday she quit eating which was soon followed by our westie that stopped eating.  Tuesday morning our pitt experienced extreme diarhea and vomiting though out...

My 6 year old Finnish Spitz has eaten Pro Plan beef since he was on solid food.  Since we switched to the new shredded blend on Christmas Day, we've noticed a distinct change in his eating habits.  He would avoid his food for a few days before eating it, and he was throwing up every few days.  He didn't act sick otherwise, though.  I finally realized that it must be his food and took him off of it 5 days ago.  Lo and behold, he's no longer throwing up and he's back to his old eating habits.

I won't be putting him back on this stuff, and I'm filing a complaint with both Purina and Petsmart...

Pro Plan Shredded-My dog is so sick since he has been on this food that my husband had to rush him to the ER tonight....SEVERE vomitting, diarreah, uncontrolled urinating, shivering, hives.......strated will hives, digging at skin, swelling of face and toes...thought it was a reaction to my daughters perfume since it always seemed worse in the morning and they share a bed together,.......until we banned that and the rest of the symptoms started. 

He just called to say he is in the back for testing.  WIll be an hour before they know anything.  We immediately took him off and went back to the...

I have two Jack Russells who are 9 yrs old and ProPlan is the only food they have ever eaten.  They have never had skin or coat issues until now.  Of course the dogs love it and gobble it up.  They have eaten multiple bags of this, all bought at different times and different store locations.  They started having these issues within about 1 to 2 weeks of eating the new food. 

This was a great concept from Purina but they failed with the nutrition end of the deal!

I am now in the process of finding them a new dog food.  I will contact ProPlan to bring back the old formula or I will never buy...

Purina Pro Plan Shredded Blends:

I also fed Pro Plan Chicken and Rice for years. When I couldn't buy it last December, I bought the bags of Pro Plan Shredded Chicken, and within 3 weeks my Cavaliers had stools that looked like cow piles, One bitch was nursing puppies, after testing for numerous germs, a local rottweiler breeder came into the vet with the same problem and using the same food. Vet had us put the dogs on canned EN and told us to change food. All but the bitch that was nursing pups turned around immediately. The mother was getting worse and beginning to look like a skeleton. Blood...

My wife and I have been giving our two dogs (14 months and 2.5 years) ProPlan ever since they were off puppy chow. They have loved it the entire time. In late December we bought our first bag of the "Shredded Blend". We noticed that both have become very gassy and have been belching alot after they eat. It also seemed that they had lost some weight (which we didn't want because they were both already lean). We took them for their annual checkup yesterday and found that our older dog had dropped down to 71lbs. Last time she was weighed at Haloween she was 88lbs! Our other dog dropped from 38 to...

I switched over to the shredded ProPlan a little while ago, from other ProPlan varieties.  My dog had eaten all of the other flavors (chicken and rice, salmon and rice, etc).  But from the moment I poured his first bowl of the Shredded ProPlan, I notices a change in the amount of food my dog would eat.  Instantly, he devoured it!  Before switching to this dog food, I would always have food available to my dog for him to eat whenever he wanted.  He would just eat when he was hungry, or so I thought.  Then, when I switched to the Shredded ProPlan I had to monitor how much he ate.  Now I wonder...

I decided after many not so good reviews from a number of people at the pet rescue I volunteer for and my vet that Hills Science Diet isn't a quality food for my dogs I made the desicion to swith to Purina.  I've heard great things about Purina so I figured I would give it a try.  While at the pet store I was looking at the Pro Plan with real Shredded Chicken in it.  I thought it would be nice since I currently give my dogs a dry and wet food mix and I would like to ween them off of wet food.  Anyways, after only two meals of mixing the Pro Plan with real Shredded Chicken with the food they...
