I agree, I have used it for years and have switched periodically to other foods because of cost, but always come back to Pro Plan. I have good coats and have had no problems, the performance I use on my girl who is hard to keep weight on because she is always on the move and that seems to help. I use the breeder's coupons and they are helpful with the cost. I wish they would lower it! : ) MYJOY SHEPHERDS Joyce Willis -----Original Message----- From: Adelhund Shepherds <SimplyTheBestGSD@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: foxhavengsd <foxhavengsd@xxxxxxx>; genoaktortoise <genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Showgsd-l <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, May 16, 2012 10:58 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Dog Food Again..... I have used pro plan products for years. I find the performance to work he best with most f my animals. Would never use the shredded. They also make it a little more affordable for folks who feed a lot of dogs ith their breeder program They give you 10 $7.00 checks to use for future purchases once you turn in o many weight circles. I will stick with pro plan. I have tried over the years various different oods but have never had The great stools, coats, or weight control like on the pro plan. And knock on wood I don't remember there being a recall with it since I ave been using the product nd that has been a long time. any of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were o success when they gave up......... onna Graham ~Adelhund Shepherds~ ww.adelhundshepherds.com here German Shepherds Are Simply The Best! -----Original Message----- rom: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] n Behalf Of Denise Fox ent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 3:21 AM o: genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx c: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ubject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Dog Food Again..... I know Pro Plan is expensive and when they went to shredded I switched to atural Diamond. For the first 4-5 months they did great then their stools ere loose all the time and their coats weren't shinny and look bad. so I ent back to Pro Plan large breed no shredded in large breed my dogs were ack to looking like show dogs. I don't do a lot to their coat like onditioners there coat is always shinny even when my bitch blows her coat hat is left if it still shines. People always say your dogs looks so nice ith shinny coats and great weight I say Pro Plan. I have all so learned ith pro plan that you. Can manage their weight easily. From winter weight o spring it's less the a half of cup or sometime a cup and when bitches low coat raise at a half or cup and then take them back down when the coat rows back. It's expensive but why change when it works for my dogs and is o easy to adjust weight and great coats. I don't have dogs with a ton of oat. So it means a lot wh en I get stopped on walks because they think rincess Rihanna and my man Saber are beautiful and well groomed even people n the neighborhood that have shepherd ask. They say oh you must groom them veryday and I say nope they get feed pro plan :o) Certain dog foods work etter on their dog or it is to expensive. Not working so things get rough ut I will not change their food even my male who did not turn out to be a how dog I still make sure he looks like one so I will cut groceries for me o fed my dogs pro plan and my cats are on Iams cat food they have soft hinny coats and look great again people will say my cats coat isn't soft , ull they are like my cats fur is dull and they don't look as healthy. I sk what they are feeding them, they are like meow mix or can food. ometimes you get what you pay for other times your pets look good on what ver food they are on. Dog food is expensive I only have two dogs so Pro lan is not to bad but when you have a lot of dogs it is unreasonable to uy Pro Plan or Blue Buffalo or even Eukanuba Now a days with everything eing so expensive you have to find the right dog food at the right price. he way I see it is that they have food to eat and that is all that matters. Denise Fox ent from my iPhone On May 15, 2012, at 6:32 PM, Amy Greenhut <genoaktortoise@xxxxxxxxxxx> rote: > I have decided that after thinking about this recall situation with the og foods..........I am going back to feeding the Diamond Natural Chicken nd Rice........my dogs were fine on it. The only affected food came from orth Carolina. Tell you what....I for one cannot afford to feed the Pro lan at $38.99 for 33 pounds.......that is just ridiculous......I really do ot know how they even sell their food at that price.........I get Diamond or $24.99 for 40 pounds. I just opened up the last bag of Pro Plan ensitive Skin And Stomach.....it is a really good food......I really wish hat Nestle Purina would lower their dog food prices!!!
