I'm the poster with all the greys and. posting about supplementing. [b]Don't worry about grain free hurting your dogs.[/b] I honestly don't worry about that as that is a new complaint. My dog kibble is grain free but their supplements, canned food and treats is not grain free, I guess. [b]My dogs have never had heart problems and I don't know anyone whose dogs have died from it.[/b] [/quote]

I assume OP would prefer something with more scientific evidence to support its benefits.

OP, does your dog dislike all Purina, or have you only tried Purina One? My dog loves Pro Plan -- when he had some GI issues, he was on boiled chicken and rice for a while, and when I started reintroducing his regular food, he picked out the Pro Plan and left the chicken and rice.

He's not a picky eater, though. Usually, if it's on the floor, he's happy to clean up. [/quote]

Just out of curiosity, have you actually looked at the ingredients in Purina's kibbles? There is a reason why it's cheap.  [/quote]

DP. Expensive isn’t necessarily better. I’ve had more than one vet recommend Purina Pro Plan, and strongly advise against anything with “Blue” in the name. [/quote]

I would never feed Blue Buffalo either. Vets recommend the big brands of dog food because that is what they are taught to recommend in vet school. The big brands send reps to the schools and vet offices to tell them all the reasons why they should recommend their brands to first time pet owners. On top of that, many vets sell Purina, Iams, or Eukanuba and they get a portion of the sales. I want my dog's food to be filled with high quality ingredients, not fillers like soybean meal or corn gluten. When I consider a new food to add to our rotation, I want the company to explain why they chose each ingredient and how it will benefit my dog. I also want the protein sources to come from high quality meat sources, not animal byproduct, or plant based proteins like pea, lentil, beans, or potato. Also, my childhood dog was fed some form of Purina his entire life and he died at 10 from DCM.       [/quote]
