I have been a mommy to three wonderful dogs (a mixed breed, golden, and now a basset hound) and have always wanted to give the best to my dogs while still being on a tight budget. Through my dog owner experiences, I have found that the saying "you are what you eat" is especially true for dogs. My first dog was my childhood pet and he ate what we ate. He also had constant stomach troubles (beware of shooting poop) and weight issues as he got older. When I decided to own my first dog as an adult, I made the decision to go with Purina Pro Plan for puppies (and later on adults). I love this dog food and both of my dogs love it as well.
In over eight years with Pro Plan food, neither of my dogs has had a single upset tummy. Not once. I can only believe that this is because of the high quality ingredients in Pro Plan. Also, my basset has to stay at a certain weight due to her bone structure and she has had no problems staying the same weight for two years now. I feed her the weight management chicken and rice variety.
While Pro Plan is not the cheapest dog food, it has saved me money by not having to buy more expensive specialty foods and avoiding vet visits. Pro Plan is also frequently on sale at Petsmart. I have also noticed that the serving portions are smaller on Pro Plan than other brands so a bag will last you longer. Overall, I will not feed my pets anything other than Pro Plan.
