Product Information

And lastly, this recipe includes menadione, a controversial form of vitamin K linked to liver toxicity, allergies and the abnormal break-down of red blood cells. The sixth ingredient is beef fat. Beef fat (or tallow) is most likely obtained from rendering, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid. Depending on its level of freshness and purity, fish oil should be considered a commendable addition.

And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this dog food. Although you’ll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your dog, please allow 7 - 10 days to ease the transition from your dog’s current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you’re feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.We recommend that you keep your dog in ideal body condition and not allow your dog to become overweight. The exact amount of food your dog requires will need to be adjusted according to age, activity and environment. But a good place to start is with these guidelines for an average, active, adult dog fed once daily. The next ingredient is soybean meal, a by-product of soybean oil production more commonly found in farm animal feeds. Next, we note the inclusion of sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast. The fourth ingredient is poultry by-product meal, a dry rendered product of slaughterhouse waste. It’s made from what’s left of slaughtered poultry after all the prime cuts have been removed.

Purina PRO PLAN Sensitive Skin MEDIUM ADULT has been developed for adult dogs of medium breeds (10-25 kg weight). This dry dog food contains vitamin D, minerals and specific levels of omega-3 fatty acids to help support healthy teeth and gums. It is rich in high quality salmon and provides optimal nutrition for your medium dog's adventures from 12-15 months until 7 years of age, when you should transition to the Age Defence recipe. Although soybean meal contains 48% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat. In addition to organs, this item can also include feet, beaks, undeveloped eggs and almost anything other than prime skeletal muscle. Next, fish oil is naturally rich in the prized EPA and DHA type of omega-3 fatty acids. These two high quality fats boast the highest bio-availability to dogs and humans.First, soybean oil is red flagged here only due to its rumored (yet unlikely) link to canine food allergies. Based on its ingredients panel alone, Purina Pro Plan Adult Dog Food looks like an average dry product. Sample buyer review…“My English Bulldog Ruth seemed to be allergic to everything. She kept getting rashes on her underbelly and ear infections. We had her on royal canine Rx special food but she hated the taste of it. It was always partially eaten. We heard about this and thought to give it a try. She liked it from day 1 and her rashes cleared up within days. No problem with stool either. I feel like we won the lottery with this dog food.” Turkey Patties is one of 6 frozen raw recipes included in our review of the We Feed Raw product line.
