Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach Dry Dog Food Turkey and Oat Meal – 16 lb. Bag

One of the best special needs dog foods you can buy
I have a small Yorkie/Lhasa Apso medical alert service dog. I adopted her at 4 months of age and at the time she was severely ill and near death. She had stopped eating, was hypoglycemic, and only weighed a bit over two pounds. She also had an antibiotic-resistant form of pneumonia and was experiencing liver failure and other life-threatening conditions.With the help of an outstanding veterinarian and a great deal of care and attention on my part, she is now completely healthy and has recently completed nine months of professional service dog training.Because of her health issues, diet and nutrition have always been a major concern.In addition to her serious health issues, for the first year of her life she also suffered from dry dandruff and itchy skin and was prone to diarrhea. Although less serious, these were also problems I needed to address.Because of her early health issues I think she will always be a picky eater and I have to constantly monitor her food Intake.At 19 months, she is now fully grown and maintains a stable healthy weight of 5lbs.To address all of these issues, I went through a long journey of trying to find the best food and diet for her. The vet and I both suspected food allergies as part of her problem and began food trials, eliminating all of the meat proteins she had been eating, which were almost all of the common meats used in dog food with the exception of fish. We also wanted to avoid corn, wheat and soy but did not want a completely grain – free food.After a great deal of research, we settled on Purina Focus salmon and rice formula and it has been completely satisfactory. It meets all of our important criteria and, most importantly, she finds it palitable and eats it with minimal coaxing.She remains a picky eater and I still have to go to some extra effort to get her to eat but not much. Basically, I crumble up a salmon bite omega oil supplement as a topper on her food, which she loves, and that’s enough to prime her pump and get her to eat the rest of her food.I apologize for the length of my review but felt like it was important to discuss the special needs of my dog in order to fully explain why I chose this food over so many other high-quality dog foods that are available. Normally, Purina brand wouldn’t be my top choice but, with my special needs, it was definitely the right choice for my dog and I give it my highest recommendation.

My dog loves

My dog was on a high fibre Vet diet but was throwing up every couple days. Jack is doing so well on this food and much less expensive (a bonus)

Good small size for small and medium dogs, my dog has been improved it’s condition, I’ve noted less scratch around his ears. Flavour is not the best as my dog at the beginning didn’t like it but now is ok.
