I, and many in New England would not agree that Purina Pro Plan is the best. I've had several issues with several different flavors of their PPP Sport. The issues have been finding fly larvae in several new unopened bags, my dogs refusing to eat it, unsetteld stomachs and pervasive skin allergies. Myself and about 20 or so New England hunting/field trial friends have all switched to Inukshuk. Results have been smaller more efficient stools (no smushy wet ones), improved coats with no itching and have cut back from 2.5 cups/day to 1.5 cups/day.

For the last five years of Gracie’s life she had Purina Pro Plan for Sporting Dogs.

Nevef a problem with it and never experienced the fly larva you experienced… and her stools were firm and of average size for a 55 lb active dog that was fed 2.5 measured cups per day but when she was hunting I fed her 3.5 cups and she never wanted for water.

My vet always remarked on what a fine specimen she was.
