RE: Purina Pro Plan
 

You might also look into PMI foods. I am feeding PMI Prime 26/18 for my hounds. They seem to like the food, and are keeping their weight. The stools are also small and solid.

RE: Purina Pro Plan
 

Would plain purina dog chow be better than the ol'roy high performance? I have been researching ol'roy on the net and I am not getting much positive discussion on it. Seems like alot of people are claiming ol'roy has uses rotten animal parts and substance that will cause cancer.

RE: Purina Pro Plan
 

I prefer to use Nutro foods over Purina, Diamond, or any others. I have been feeding Nutro with my latest pup, and it seems to work great. He seems to get the energy he needs, and I always get comliments on his coat and overall appearence. As with anything elseeveryone has their own opinion.
