My senior boy just turned 10 and has always been a picky eater. We recently switched from Hill’s Science Diet to Royal Canin because he was bored with his food and eating less than usual. He liked the Royal Canin at first since it smelled and looked different, and although the pieces were large, they were donut-shaped, making them easier to chew. Still, he seems bored with it now, and we’re just finishing the first bag. You’ll see the food he is currently on in the bowl on the left.I introduced the Purina Pro Plan slowly to avoid any tummy issues. Before I even opened the bag, he was already curious. Smells are important to me. If it’s off-putting, I don’t want him eating it. The first whiff was good, so I let him check it out. The morsels are smaller, which makes them easier for him to chew. He’s the kind of dog who contemplates eating before actually doing it (as you’ll see in the video) and usually takes a bite or two to his bed. This time, once the food grabbed his attention, he stood at the bowl and ate until it was gone.As for price, a 12 lb bag runs $56.99 on Amazon and is similarly priced on Chewy. For comparison, my current food costs $104.99 for a 30 lb bag with auto-ship. Purina Pro Plan offers a 22 lb bag for $75.98 with auto-ship. When I break it down, my current food comes out to $3.49 per pound, while Purina Pro Plan averages $3.45 per pound.Based on my dog’s experience with the food, the smaller morsel size for his senior years, and the comparable price, I’ll be switching to this food.
We have been feeding our dog Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Weight Management Dry Dog Food, Chicken and Rice Formula for several years. She is a 10.5 year old Golden Retriever, so getting up there in years. When I saw this Purina Pro Plan AdvantEDGE Senior Support Plus dog food I thought I'd give it a try. We got to try both this variation and the large breed version of this Purina Senior Support food.During the first week I wasn't sure if it was giving my dog digestion issues, and am still not sure if it was this food or something else we had given her, but we continued slowly transitioning over and there were no more issues noticed after that first week. She has been eating mostly this food for 4-5 weeks now and it is going well. Our dog thinks it tastes good and the food seems fresh. The ingredients appear to be of good quality.I don't particularly like eating too much soy myself as I think it causes digestive issues, and so don't like giving it to my dog either and there is soybean meal in this food. It isn't until the 4th ingredient though, after chicken, poultry by-product meal, and rice. The Purina Pro Plan food we have been using has no soy. The Senior Support food has an additional amino acid and 2 additional vitamins in the Guaranteed Analysis, however, at least 2 of the 3 are in the ingredients list on the other food, too, although I am uncertain about the amounts of each. The Senior Support food does seem to have slightly higher amounts of many vitamins and minerals. All in all, the Senior Support food might give better support for an old dog, but I am not certain enough to be willing to spend the extra money, as this food is about 12lb less per bag for a similar price.The photo with the 3 foods is showing you the Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Weight Management Dry Dog Food, Chicken & Rice Formula, then the large breed version of this food, then this food (Purina Pro Plan AdvantEDGE Senior Support Plus Shredded Blend Chicken and Rice Formula).
We have a senior retired Greyhound who is very particular about his diet - and as he gets older I am always looking for foods that will keep him eating and won't upset his stomach. He's now gone through this entire bag of Purina Pro Plan AdvantEDGE Senior Support and I have to say it's working out really well. I personally cannot vouch for the taste but he seems to love it and wolfs it down whenever he gets it. Initially I gave to him as a smaller bit as a treat to see if he took to it well and it seems like he still associates it with treats - so he loves it like it was Doggie Twinkies! He has had no digestive problems since adding this to his diet and while I can't vouch for the cognitive effects I do think he is doing well. This food seems like the kibbles are smaller than what he usually gets so it could be that is helping too - it's probably easier for him to digest. And the cats go after the kibbles too! All in - a winning combo.
This is a repurchase and my dogs love this food. Very happy.
My 9-year-old dog, who is generally a picky eater, liked this a lot. Unfortunately, it is cost prohibitive to buy it all the time. I get a small bag for her and ration it by mixing it with other, more affordable kibble.
My service dog is going to be 11 years old! He has always had belly problems until I switched to this Purina product!! He loves it also, it is smaller different pieces for his teeth! Try it you'll love it!! 🙏🏻🩷
Quality product
My 7 yo pup seems to like it. :)
Our dog is right on the cusp of being a senior and this was our first time trying senior food. He LOVED it. His appetite actually improved!
My dog doesn't love kibble but she will eat this.
This seems like a really good, well-formulated food for senior dogs. The ingredients and added senior support features made me feel good about feeding it, and it seems like a solid option for older dogs who need a little extra support as they age. Most importantly, my dogs really liked it. They ate it right away and were noticeably more excited at mealtime, which is saying something because one of my dogs usually inspect new food like a tiny furry health inspector. (My other pup eats literal poop so I'm not sure his opinion counts for much.) Overall, this seems like a great choice if you're looking for a quality senior dog food.
My finicky Shih Tzu loves this. Delivery was great too!!
This is a well balanced kibble for senior dogs. I had to start my dog slowly on this formula because she has a very sensitive stomach. The pieces are thinner and easier to chew. She did not bulk at the flavor. But keep in mind there are less calories per cup then in the regular Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach kibble.
I switched my senior dog to Purina Pro Plan AdvantEDGE Senior Support Plus and have been very pleased with how well he’s adjusted. The shredded blend with chicken and rice is easy for him to chew, and he seems to really enjoy the taste.Since making the switch, his energy levels have been consistent and his digestion has been good. I also like that the kibble pieces are not too hard, which is helpful for older dogs. The food mixes well and is easy to serve.Overall, this has been a reliable and well-balanced food for my senior dog, and I feel comfortable continuing to use it as part of his daily routine.
One thing to be aware of before ordering this food is that the second ingredient is soy which is a common allergen among dogs. That said they're also many dogs they're totally fine with soy.I did a taste test with this dry kibble and four others, and this food was the clear winner and the only one that my dog licked the bowl clean for. This must be an extra tasty food because my dog is incredibly picky, and that can be super important and older dogs who may have a reduced appetite or have become pickier in old age.I'm really surprised that the second ingredient is soy, as in a food of this price I'd expect the second ingredient to also be a meat product which is a sign of quality as soy and cornmeal are generally considered fillers. Nonetheless the nutritional values are good, although at their bare face I don't see a huge difference between purina one and this offering, though I'd expect formulation given the specialization of this product and the price. Nonetheless it definitely gets to paws up for my pup so the smell and taste must be quite appetizing and that's definitely worth something.Overall because my picky dog definitely preferred this to four other brands I would say there must be something good about it as far as dogs are concerned. Still, given that the second ingredient is soy and not meat, and that the nutritional levels seem to be on par with significantly cheaper Purina offering, i think it's a good food but the price is outrageous.
