Purina Pro Plan Calm & Balanced Adult Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food - 5 lb. Bag

Love it, dogs love it. I think it helps with their anxiety. Only bummer is it is impossible to find.

My dogs love the flavor.

- her coat is shiny , she seems happy eating this. What more do I want

My dog (35lb mix) had a hard 6 weeks before he got to me and has struggled with behavioral problems his entire life. Sometimes he’s aggressive for no discernible reason, it’s like his brain chemistry is off. Could be bad genetics, could be his early puppyhood. Either way, he can snap at you at the drop of a hat and resource guards items like his life depends on it. I have noticed since starting this food 4-5 months ago tht the instances of this aggressive/insecure behavior has decreased both in frequency and severity. I also give either a calming hemp treat or hemp oil with his dinner and that helps as well. I have heard feeding this formula and adding on the calming care probiotic is more effective if you can afford to do both! :)

We usually buy the regular variety of adult pro plan for our vizslas but I was intrigued by this variety since they are a *bit* reactive, bless their hearts. I was fully prepared to give it 6 weeks to take effect, unfortunately my dogs were not. I hadn't noticed that this variety doesn't have the shredded meat bits in it and those are their favorite parts. The first time I put this on the menu they looked at it, looked at me, nosed around in it, looked at me, then knocked the bowl over, looked at me and walked off. I stuck to my guns for a week and a half, figuring that they wouldn't starve themselves, but that is essentially what they did and vizslas don't really have any spare weight on them. So, I broke down and bought their regular variety and mixed it in with this food. Order has been restored. In the future I might buy the sachets to add to their food, but I'm a bit worried they'd just stop eating their food again. So, minus one star for no shredded meat bits.
