Pro plan shredded for me...

Key to feeding any lab is keeping the strict feeding amount allocated for the wieght of your dog.

My dogs look great, feel good and can't wait to eat every evening. My oldest lab was kind of picky and would not eat enough during the hunting season. I was worried about her weight loss so I changed over to Pro Plan w/ shredded chicken and it has worked out nicely.

Nowadays, it's truly hard to find a BAD dog food, and our canine buddies almost universally eat better than we do.

Think of what you ate yesterday, and how many stars would be awarded to your diet. Well, let's see....

Five cups of coffee (or an energy drink) and a Honey Bun or a Pop Tart for breakfast.

Four Allsups Beef and Bean Burritos, a bag of Cheetos, and a 32 oz Dr Pepper for lunch.

For supper, you ordered a Meat Market pizza with extra cheese. And another Dr. Pepper of course.

Then, while watching the Rangers on TV, you drank 3 Shiners and snacked on venison summer sausage with some sharp cheddar on Wheat Thins. Finally, after the pitching blew another save, you scarfed down two Little Debbies before bedtime.

So how many stars for that bit of nutrition? It wouldn't even rate zero....I'd give it a negative-two.

Here's the take-home.... If your dog is doing well on its current diet, don't change it willy-nilly. He IS eating better than you.

Really is great dog food isn't it? The last purina we were feeding was the top Purina, Pro Plan I think it's called and we thought it might have been something was making my Vizsla sick sometimes. Changed to Blue Buffalo after reading reviews on that site or one like it. After the switch, no more sickness, and we realized what we thought was just my dog getting older that year, was a food problem. More energy, better coat, easier to clean the yard. Seriously, it was a big deal. We have since switched from the regular Blue to Wilderness. The purina was not a problem when she was younger so it may have been a metabolism change with different needs in food, and/or a change in the ingredients Purina was using. But we are sold on the Blue Buffalo Wilderness.

We switched our Lab over to this food as well. His fart's were so bad it literally melted paint and blew nails out of our sheetrock.

Since he's been on this food, the yard is easier to clean up and I no longer run out of the house screaming.

They make a duck formula. I wonder if it is spoonie.
