This review is from: Purina Pro Plan Dry Adult Dog Food, Large Breed Formula, 18-Pound Bag (Misc.)

First of all, Amazon, if you read this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make pet food available for Subscribe & Save!!! :)

I buy this at my local Walmart. I live in a small bedroom community to a larger town, and I really try to stick to foods I can get easily without having to make a special commute into town to go to a pet store. It's about $30 a bag at Walmart - so close to what Amazon charges. I was looking for something slightly cheaper than Iams that my dog would like better. He would often let his breakfast sit until dinner time because I don't think he cared for the Iams.

My dog is a 104 lb German Shepherd, so he is a big boy who definitely benefits from a large breed formula. He seems to really like this Purina, he wolfs it down in the mornings now. I like that it's $10 cheaper than Iams, but still a high quality food that has good ingredients. I think the first one is a meat. There are no fillers or soy in it either, which will save on vet bills in the long run.

HOWEVER... and this is a dealbreaker... this gives my dog the WORST GAS. Like.... room-clearing gas. It's utterly disgusting. He has it consistently for an hour or two after he eats... and the only word for it is NASTY. It took a couple of weeks of this food before it set in (and nothing else has changed in his diet or habits)... I think I had already bought the second bag of it before I made the connection.

We will be switching to a different food. I picked up plain old Pedigree at the grocery store last time I stocked up. It is a much cheaper food, that requires I feed him 50% more by volume for the same weight (6 cups a day versus 4 cups) so that negates any savings. I think the Pedigree was $20 a bag, and the main ingredient is a filler. =/ I didn't know these things when I bought it, I just wanted something, ANYTHING, other than the Purina and it's stink bombs.

We will probably be switching back to Iams, alas.
