Puppies require a unique set of nutrients. This review compares Purina Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy to Science Diet Small Breed Puppy

[rigobertov]

We switched to purina pro plan and my dogs cant get enough of it they love it

I was the proud owner of a rescue chihuahua when he was diagnosed with severe Ibd and chronic pancreatitis the vet prescribed his id digestive care every day he also was on different medications

Thank you for this! I have a 10lb chiweenie. He wouldn't eat Blue Buffalo, and Orijen gave him bad poops and upset stomach as a puppy. Once I got him on Hills Science Diet after researching the topic, the difference was night and day. So much better. Also got my mom's older dogs on HSD and they improved significantly in terms of coat, energy level and poos.

I asked my vet about the hills science diet perfect digestion 7 + for my dog that survives parvo and he said dogs that survive parvo should always be on a digestive care dog food for the rest of there lives because the parvo really messes up there intestines so I'm glad I made the choice for the perfect digestion for seniors

How often does Hills, Purina and Royal Canin do feeding trials? Is it on going quality control?

Thanks for sharing I been feeding my yorkie cesear didn’t know the harm i was doing to him with that junk

Hi all, I'm having a really really hard time finding a fish-based small-breed food for my dog. He can't chew the larger kibbles, can't do chicken, can't do beef. Feeling super discouraged. If anyone has recommendations for my 5-year-old 7-pound Yorkie, I would really appreciate it. This video was helpful and informed me that I cannot just resort to buying "puppy" food (smaller kibble size) because he is not a puppy anymore.

Can you please review Canadian Nutrience Infusion

Is there a reason why the Purina Pro Plan Puppy Small Breed has higher protein levels (33%, 37% on dry matter basis) than the regular PPP puppy (28%, 31% on dry matter basis)? Do small breed puppies require more protein? I am considering feeding this to my small breed pup, but I am concerned about the 37% protein on a dry matter basis being higher above the AAFCO recommended range (the data was provided by Purina after I contacted them). Thoughts?

[sheilaparsley]

Can you tell me of a puppy that survives parvo can have digestive issues for the rest of there lives because my Decker rat Terrier had parvo as a puppy and he's now 9 yrs old and has digestive issues so I'm curious if there's a connection

[jacelendavid]

where u get those percentages for puppy needs?

[iananderson]

Thanks for this great review Dr.Rea. I look forward to my new pups arrival soon.

We are currently feeding nutisource kibble but after watching your review of the food we would like to know what you feed your dog? Farmina? We have fed PPP and hills in the past but my mini schnauzer stopped eating them.

[stephaniep]

My vet recommended Hills oral care for my Maltese mix. He would not eat the rx one, but he will eat the otc one. My question is the kibble size is huge. He only weighs 12lbs. He eats it but it looks like he has a hard time with it. Is it ok to mix the small breed kibble in with it?

Ok so I’m having issues finding salmon puppy
Food. Is salmon bad for puppies? I have a dachshund, 8wks old. I do not feed my 2yo weenies chicken and the salmon has helped their skin SO MUCH. Pup is on SD small paws puppy, and I do notice her scratching and I’m just like “is it the chicken ?!”.. should I swap to the Pro Plan puppy Lamb to get her off chicken ?

[linat]

What about the corn ? I thought that was not the best for the dogs? My puppy was on this and was looking for something better Fromm or diamond naturals large breed for my American bully

[jessiebrown]

Are you ever concerned about the high carbohydrates percentages in hills products? I know some of there food goes as high as 54%

Hi I have a 8 month old Shih tzu puppy he has a habit of eating his poop we changed his diet to a different brand but he still does it. I’m not sure if it’s a nutrition thing. What would you recommend?

[Nisk]

Hi Doc,
Hey. After a month or so studying foods amd nutrition. I think I've narrowed it down to purina pro plan puppy and a farmina ND ancient grain. This is a for a brand new puppy we will be bringing home soon. A male Pudelpointer. The only thing tripping me up before purchasing either, is I don't know whether my puppy lands in small/regular or large breed puppy. The average weight is in a borderline range. 45-70lbs. Others say 46-67. Do you have any thought on which I should go with? The purina pro plan puppy versus large breed puppy varies so much as well as the guidelines you use for both sizes. Thanks for any help you can provide
