I fed Pro Plan Chicken And Rice Adult and Sensitive Skin to all my dogs for 
years. About six months ago all the dogs started to lose weight and their coats 
all looked terrible. It was not just one dog......it was all the dogs. And none 
of them had any parasites or coccidia or giardia or anything like that. I saw 
some dogs that belonged to other people. They were feeding Costco Chicken And 
Rice. All these dogs looked great. I switched all my dogs to Costco food and 
they all have gained weight and their coats came in real nice. In my opinion 
Pro Plan is or was one of the best foods around. I did not bother to look and 
see if they had chaned anything in the food. I was just going by how my dogs 
looked.I know that Nestle Purina does a lot for the parent club. But then again 
I have to judge the food on the dog's condition.
