[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a now 7 month old Doberman, who for the past 4 months I've been trying to find a dog food that not only she enjoys but also is digestible as she has a sensitive stomach to many foods. I've tried Blue Buffalo, Orijen, Acana, Taste of wild, etc... All those expensive high end brand that people supposedly swear by. They were all horrible! Not only didn't I end up having to hand feed it to my dog because she didn't have the slightest interest in eating it but also she wasn't gaining any weight and was just bones on all those brands and also having diarrhea DAILY. Those brands are all $60-80+ a bag too just for a 25oz bag which she'd go thru in only 2 weeks AKA $120+ a month! So I was being drained of all my money basically to have a bones sticking thru, sickly, diarrhea having, Doberman. I was always told these brands were what my Doberman needed to be at it's best, and that brands like Purina and pedigree were just trash and poison to animals. But I was DONE putting that much money into food that seemed to just be making my dog worse and worse.
Last week I decided to just at least try the "cheap stuff", something that was a lot more better on my wallet and I randomly chose the cheapest I could find which happened to be Purina Puppy Chow. It was only $21 for a giant 36oz bag! And when I got home and fed it to my dog, she ate the entire bowl so fast like there was no tomorrow, I'd never seen her eat like that before! She loved it!
Just within this week of switching her to Purina Puppy Chow, her tummy is finally starting to fill out and her ribs are not protruding like they were, she's actually eating and now on the road to gaining the weight she as a puppy has been needing to, and her poops are PERFECT, no more diarrhea!
I would've never dreamed a brand like this would be such a miracle and amazing relief to my dog... especially a brand that, in the Doberman community, has been deemed "trash" and basically treated as an "animal abuser" if you feed it to your pets. Now I know the truth and I see with my own eyes how horrible those so called healthy grain free brands are, and how amazing and wonderful Purina puppy chow is! It has literally saved my dogs life and she is a entirely new dog that is filling out in her body and is so happy and energetic now.
I will never buy grain free ever again and will instead be continuing to buy Purina puppy chow. Just within a week she has improved so much, I can't wait to see how much more she'll continue to grow and improve on this food within the next coming weeks and months.
Thank you Purina!
