Thanks for your no nonsense reviews. When I got my puppy, RUclips had me think he would be sickly if I didn’t feed 100 raw meat sprinkled with tears of the gods. I’ve been using the brands you rated highly and my puppy is thriving.
Ha, you made me laugh. I’m glad it helped you, that’s the exact sentiment I want to convey.
@@AnimalDocRea I appreciate everything you're putting out there! :)
I just recently adopted a puppy and use this food! I'm glad it's decent.
Video quality is amazing 😻
Thanks, I’m trying
Loved the score system :) thanks for the review 🎉
Thanks for watching!
I fed my Akitas this exact food when they were puppies and then transitioned to the adult large breed formula at about 11 months prior to switching them to Orijen.
A few things: (1) it definitely was better than Hills and Blue Buffalo, firmed up their stool a tad bit and tamed the hot spots/allergies, (2) a few of the puppy bags had moth larvae but the adult bags didn’t, and (3) their stool was often mushy with yellow/Orange mucus.
When I switched to Origen their stool was firm, dark brown, and had a shape. So far so good since the switch
Orijen starts with more real meat. It has no "meals." Compare the ingredients. I know Doc Rea talks about nutrients, you would have to contact the companies to get that information.
Any update on the recent formula change on this one?? I was about to switch my GSD to this from wellness core - and now am scared! Would you be able to reassess please?!
I watched your video on How to Perform a Body Condition Score. The comments are turned off. My two cats are about a 4, on your 1-9 scale. Most of their diet is raw ground beef or lightly boiled chicken thighs. Some wet food. They also stole some of my broccoli today. LOL Using the parts of your hand as a test is brilliant!
I’ll have to check the comments, not sure why they got turned off
Also I didn’t come up with the hand thing so I can’t take credit for that. I don’t remember who thought me that years ago, but they are the brilliant one.
@@AnimalDocRea But you are the one who showed it to me! Take the bows! LOL
Oh my goodness! Take a look at the recent reviews of the Purina pro plan sensitive skin and stomach salmon formula! I sense a recall is coming very soon, or at least it should be…too many dogs getting sick due to formula change.
Interesting we will keep
A look out
ty ❤ this is exactly what i was looking for..for my 5month rottweiler.
Glad it was helpful!
Did you do a review on the adult bag? The first one you selected accidentally?
Can you make a video on Purina One Adult Large Breed please
Please review Canadian Nutrience Infusion.
Thanks
Im seeing alot of videos on this food making dogs sick but no recall i was about to start my puppy on this
I’ve not seen any issues in my practice with clients reporting issues nor have I received any warnings on my professional information boards. If it’s random people making videos they may just be assuming causation unless thier vet actually diagnosed their pet as sick from food. I’d be interested in that information, how many sick pets have actually been diagnosed with a food related illness by thier vet.
I just got a German Shepherd mix from a shelter. She is almost 5 months old and their best guess seems to be that she will be between 30-50 pounds. Should I be feeding a basic all around puppy food rather than a large breed based on that estimate?
I know GSD are already known for some joint issues and I don’t want to set her up with anything else against her from the start.
Yes, regular puppy
I have a Great Dane 11 months old. Would this be a good food for him and his breed? Also when would you switch from puppy to adult food in Great Danes?
It’s a pretty good option. I’d start to transition to adult around 9 months to a year
I’m feeding my 11 week old doberman the blue buffalo large breed puppy food. Is that one pretty good?
I’ve not reviewed that, check out my short on large breed puppy parameters to evaluate
I was thinking about getting my puppy (German Shepard/ Lab mix) this brand but the lamb and oat meal formula can you review that one
You can use the same chart and follow the same steps, I’ll add it to the list though
They do contain grains , are grains good for dogs ? why some are grain free and some are with grains? can you explain me please , I need to choose a good product for my dog. Thank you
I have a video on that: Should you feed Grain Free dog food?

I ordered 2 different bags of Gentle Giant for my 4 dogs. They been in Pedigree since puppies. Now I decided to upgraded the quality of their food I don’t even know what that really mean. For last 30 years I’ve search dog food reviews n the unfortunate part that is no one really know what best for dog to eat. Perhaps that the reason some people decided to feed their dog home made. Funny, many years ago the industry tell to people not to feed dog of the table. My vet told me that she feed all her dogs Purina. I asked why? She replied Purina who started dog food industry 100 years ago n they’ve been in the business for awhile. I don’t mean u have to feed your dog Purina. My point is that if your dog like the food that’s good, regardless what brand u choose. The sad part that the dog doesn’t get to choose what food to eat, people do.
I had a really bad experience with Pedigree. It exacerbated the speed of my 2 dogs developing bladder stones because of the type of sodium used in it. You can see a difference in their urine when fed pedigree, it's very thick and yellow, also has a really bad odor. They're now Royal Canin special diet but my other dogs have switched over to Pro Plan 27/17.
Do you have one or could you do one for
Purina One+ Large Breed Puppy… ? I was feed my Labradane 4health large breed puppy… but I switched bc it didn’t have joint supplement in it.
I don’t have that one, sorry
My puppy did not do well at all on this, long story short… vet temporarily put her on grain free large breed until tests are done for food allergies. Seems sensitive to grain foods. Any recommendations as to what food to use?
When a food is being used to medically manage a disease, I must defer to the veterinarian personally managing the case.
I have a standard labradoodle will this be a good food for my girl?
Good option
I would deduct a point for the affco statement being all life stages.
Fair enough, I see your point
Absolutely agree!
What are your thoughts on Nulo Medal Series puppy turkey?
I just so happen to have a video for your enjoyment set to post next week 😜
Hello, i switched to this type of food from the regular Purina Pro Plan puppy ( not large breed type). My dog is 5 mos, weighing at 30lbs, adult weight ranges 55-75lbs, and is a slow grower. He's supposed to be at 45lbs on his current age, but being runt of the litter maybe made him slow. He's a picky eater, and not food driven aswell. Is this a bad switch? should i put him back on the not large breed puppy food? Or will this change help him develop more?
Thank you.
Belgian Shepherd/ Belgian Sheepdog / Groenendael, or whatever you call them is the breed. Thank you.
Large breed puppy would be appropriate for any dog that will be 50-70 at maturity
@@AnimalDocRea Thank you!
My mixed breed dog pound dog (50% Great Dane) is 12 months old and 80 pounds. Not huge. But still growing. In your opinion, is large breed food appropriate? Or should he be eating giant breed?
@kennyvalentine7644 at 12 months growth plates are closed (close at 9 months) and there is no more growth vertical. They may fill out, but it is time to transition to adult. There is no defined lifestage for “giant or large breed” adult, so any food in the adult life stage in the AAFCO statement is fine.
Hello! Would Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Dry Puppy Food, Chicken and Rice Formula be a good option as well? I'm looking for kibble options for my labrador/pyreenees mix puppy.
I’m not specifically familiar with that one , but the same principles apply
@@AnimalDocRea Thank you!
Great video! It's really cool that AAFCO necessitates that brands state the nutritional adequacy statement unlike FEDIAF in which case you need to email the manufacturer and ask if the formula underwent a feeding trial.
I have a question regarding cat food. I found a brand that markets one of its formulas for adults but the nutrients perfectly match the ones for seniors (and adults). Should I use it for my senior cat, or should I stick to a formula marketed for seniors specifically? The only difference would be the antioxidant levels as they are more in the senior formula while protein, calcium, and phosphorus are right on point.
So remember I how Always am taking about the package being a legal document...well there are only 2 real life stages defined for the package 1. growth 2. adult. You won't find a AAFCO lifestage for senior. So, you are doing just right. Find a food that is lifestage for an adult, but then meets the requirements we talked about for senior. And please share with us this perfect food!
@@AnimalDocRea It’s an Italian brand it’s called Monge Natural Superpremium Adult Sterilized Trout Cat Food.
George, I wouldn’t get too excited about AAFCO. They are the ones that keep these vague definitions so you can’t see the quality of their ingredients without getting the mineral levels. And to not have any guidelines at all for cats is criminal! A Senior food could be kitten food and simply labeled Senior. Good for you for finding one that actually controls some levels. You should send the actual nutrients to the doc and she can compare them in the Small Animal Clinical Nutrition book. I have given mine away when I retired! Should have known better!!
@@George.J I remember talking with a rep from Farmina, another Italian company, and I was impressed by their mineral levels. If we all just evaluated foods that way 80 % of these food companies would disappear!
@@PetFoodPuzzleGuy so I decided to try Hill’s Adult 7+ instead for now, I ordered a bag which will arrive tomorrow! I’m just really happy that Hill’s always have their mineral content right in all of their products! I was hoping to find the senior 11+ but for some reason it’s not available anywhere in my country. The 7+ will do and I’m confident using it. It will be my first time using Hill’s and I’m really excited about it. And I just want to say this in case people come across this and read my comments: I chose Hill’s not because I was blindly influenced by your or Dr Rea’s videos, but because this brand sticks to the science only and has the proper nutrients for pets.
Is it bad to give your dog sensitive food if the vet doesnt say they have a sensitive stomach?
No, they are generally very good all
Purpose diets
Hi! unfortunately I can’t watch the videos on RUclips because I don’t speak fluent English and I end up translating (google tradutor) the comments to understand what the videos want to convey. I’m Brazilian and would like an honest opinion: for kittens, what food would you recommend? Proplan for cat kitten, Hills Kitten, Royal Canin Kitten or Farmina? I have many doubts, because the vast majority of veterinarians here tell us the one that contains meat in the first ingredient! I saw that ProPlan has CHICKEN MEAT as the first ingredient. I really like Royal Canin and Hills, because of the vitamins. ProPlan appears to have lower vitamins than Hills and Royal Canin.
I think you probably will do fine with any of those brands. You should still be able to compare the nutrient charts they provide to the ones I show you here. I would not worry about meat as a first ingredient. That is a horrible oversimplification of how the ingredient list works and actually is inaccurate. Thanks for watching from Brazil!
No glucosamine listed.
I noticed that this Pro Plan sensitive large breed puppy food does not have glucosamine listed. The other similar Pro Plan non-sensitive puppy foods do list glucosamine.
Is this a concern?
You have to call the company for the complete analysis. It’s not required to be listed on the label, doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Thank you! I appreciate you so much.
Chatted with Purina. There is no glucosamine added to that specific food.
@kennyvalentine7644 now you know!
Can you do pro plan for adult?
I’ve got a couple in the dog food playlist. Costco Kirkland's vs Purina Pro Plan (Dog food Review)

Do you feed your dogs pro plan
No, not to say I wouldn’t though

When transitioning from a large breed puppy food to an adult one, is it important to stay on a large breed adult formula or is just a regular adult formula ok?
Regular is ok, there is no special requirement for adult large breeds
@@AnimalDocRea Thank you! Also, Hills just released food including insects as a source of fiber & protein! I think you should also check out Blue Buffalo's True Solutions, which is formulated by vets and animal nutritionists, I was also wondering if you could explain why AAFCO & the small animal nutrition guidelines differ, and what WSAVA role is?
So I have a full review on a cricket based diet I’ll link for you below. AAFCO requirements are bare bones to pass muster legally where clinical nutrition is based on data for optimal nutrition. WASAVA is another nutritional agency that sets guidelines but I was not trained in those standards and I don’t have any test to reference for you for that one so I use what I know so I can answer questions most accurately.

Can you do one in Hills science diet
Wich one?
Yes! Please do!😉
Your too much glen, I’m kind of intimidated to do a hill’s with you watching
@@AnimalDocRea Lol! I’m just teasing! All this is so different for me since nutrients was all I ever looked at! I just discovered all the companies are now manipulating canned ingredient panels too! Hard to keep up! But honestly you have been awesome and I wish I was bigger to endorse you!
This could get interesting
Can you please review this food: Diamond Naturals Large Breed Puppy Formula Dry Dog Food Lamb and Rice
yes! I am really thinking about this food as well for my lab puppy!!
I just watched your similar video of Wellness brand, and the guarantee analysis, you said they were exactly as is on Pro Plan from the email you received, and you hope she understood your question, but in the wellness brand one their numbers were far from an even percentage exactly, that along with your comment makes me think the data they sent to you was wrong, no?
I’m sorry I don’t understand the question. Pro plan sent me numbers that were the same as what was listed on the package, that isn’t typical so I was worried they sent me as fed and not dry matter like I requested. It shouldn’t change the values too much though.
You always say the package is a legal contract, but the package on this Pro Plan still says min/max for the guaranteed analysis), and the email you received back from them had the exact same info on the package. I would just be curious if we could get a second response from the company confirming that what is on the package is exactly what the product contains. I've watched a lot of your videos and so far it is never perfectly matching the bag from either researching online, or having the company provide you the extra info. @@AnimalDocRea
Good video. Interesting that a large dog, requires less fat in their diet, 8-12% than a cat, 20-24%. As a cat person, that is all I will say. (I bug you enough about cats!) LOL
Cats do have super high fat requirement compared to dogs, that’s why dogs love to eat cat poop! Gross, fun fact…
@@AnimalDocRea This is way too descriptive! And after I was being nice to you! LOL
I’m here to educate 🤪
There's too many issues with Purina right now I had to take my dog off of Purina until everything is settled
There actually aren’t any real issues that have actually been found with purina and it’s been months. It’s honestly big drama fueled by social media. I see thousands of patients in my practice and I’ve not seen s single illness. Obviously do what you feel best, but there is no evidence to suggest you need to change diets just based on the drama. Honestly if your pet is doing well, changing diets is probably more harm than good.
Unfortunately there is much better food than Purina
