Ditto John Dallas. Purina Pro-Plan 1 cup 6 a.m. and 1 cup at 5 p.m.

She gets an extra cup at noon on hard-hunting days.

Costco’s dog food nearly killed her 3 years ago. It was fine for her first 2 years but unbeknownst to their customers they changed their supplier to a source in China. She lost 10 lbs. in as many weeks even though we increased her intake.

Be smart guys - I am now.

We have used ProPlan for many years with good results. Some of our dogs have had allergies (Gordons are prone to them) and we've used the sensitive skin/stomach version. We've moved to night feeding to help prevent any gut-torsion issues. Elaine sometimes doctors up the food with something to get them eating when they balk and are tired of the same thing (she does that with me, too, but I seldom balk at eating...unfortunately).

I had allergy issues with the last two english setters using Pro-Plan

the breeder we got Tweed (our new setter) from recommended we try this brand,

both dogs are on it and seem to be doing very well

Purina Pro Plan Performance during the season and PPP Savor the rest of the year. While hunting I give a can of sardines in oil to each dog fed at night after an hour of no activity and immediately after the hunt a supplement called Glyco-charge. Both labs are about 11 years old and just came back from 5 days of chasing ducks and roosters in SD. They held up very well and showed no worse for wear and tear. Labs are just tough.
