Love this product line!

I started feeding my Lab/Rott mix when he was about 2 yrs old (we got him at 11/2yrs) and he loved it! After he passed, my new puppy started on Purina One puppy then switched to True Instinct. He is going to be 8 in January & we always get compliments on his coat, teeth & bright eyes. Going to be making transition to Vibrant Maturity soon & am certain it will be great for him! Also feed 4 outdoor cats Purina One, feel it gives them some extra protection & they look great, too.

My huskies favorite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Husky Suki she is two years old now she refused to eat any other kind of food and she absolutely loves this. It’s great it’s got the mix of turkey and venison in it and she absolutely loves it.

Switched from Grain Free Food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have 2 chows that are very hard to please. We lost our 8 yr old dog in 2019 due to heart disease that had been on a grain free food her entire life. Decided to move off that grain free diet so we tried this food and they absolutely LOVE IT. Will never go back to grain free again......ever.

28 day challenge?? More like 28 day gauntlet!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a beautiful 8 month old Australian Shepherd/Black Lab mix. She was perfectly healthy months 1-7 while I was feeding her Blue Wilderness puppy food and Blue Buffalo towards the end. After beginning the 28 day challenge, within a week there was a noticeable difference in her looks and behavior, and not for the better. She became very itchy, and has been losing patches of fur. Her eyes have been irritated and red, and has lacked that playful puppy energy she had. She doesn’t look nearly as healthy or happy as she was a little over a month ago. Which makes me not very happy. She’s also became pregnant during this 28 days and I hope to god that accepting this challenge don’t cause her any complications or issues. Not happy! 28 day challenge is a challenge alright. More like a gauntlet. Thought I’d save some money by switching from Blue but ended up costing more in the long run when you add the vet bill...

Our dog is happy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been feed our dog Turkey and Venison since we adopted him in August. Since then his coat looks fuller and his skin looks healthy. Only con is that there tends to be a good bit of crumbled pieces in each bag.

Not Their First Bag and Not Their Last

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wasn't really a challenge for us because they have been eating Purina One Smart Blend for most of their lives and love it. I just couldn't turn down the offer for a free bag. Prince Poppycock, Shadow, Georgia Peach and Frisky say thanks.

Happy German Shorthaired Pointer

Great product! I have always fed Purina dogfood, but with my most recent addition to my home came a fussy eater. He never seemed interested in eating at all. I tried 3 different kinds of puppy food,but he just didn't seem to care for any of it, and was always thinner than I felt he should be. So when I made his transition from puppy chow to adult dogfood I decided that I would give this a try. Instantly my very picky little eater became a happy,hungry,excited about meal time dog. It was sure a welcome change. That was 3 years ago now,but his love for this food hasn't changed. He stays in perfect body condition, has a beautiful shiny soft coat, and is always excited about chow time! He is always energetic and playful. This is a top quality affordable dogfood! Thank you Purina.

Purina One is going downhill

Im not sure what's happening with your ingredients in your foods lately but I used to be a huge purina one fan and now I am disappointed. For years my dogs have been on your lamb, salmon, and turkey/venison food. Within the past 5 months both my dogs developed stomach issues and horrible skin. I tried everything thinking your food would never be the problem. Finally I just switched them to science diet. Its been a week and a half and their issues are already starting to improve. I am shocked.... two different dogs... with the same issues.. got better after stopping your food products. This has to be a sign theres something really off with your ingredients. Sorry Purina One but I wont go back for the sake of my dogs health.

The only food my dogs eat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have tried different foods that my dogs seem to get tired of, we have tried Hills Science and Blue buffalo for large breed but they always seem to not want to eat. This is the only food that my dogs have loved and run to their bowls when fed.
