Copied & pasted this from one of your other videos, as I noticed the title of this one was probably more applicable to our situation. Even though this video is on Purina One and we are on Purina Pro Plan, it is still the sensitive skin/stomach version, so I hope this video would also apply to the Purina Pro Plan too:
"Glad I found THIS particular review of yours. We've been troubleshooting our dog's allergic reaction, for about 2 months now. Went from taking her off Farmer's, which we believed to be the culprit, as we had switched her to that, to then trying different kibble. You name it, we tried it. Finally, after 4 previous vets, went and saw a dermatologist. After a bunch of tests and views under the microscope, he recommended we take her off the z/d (been on it for about a month with no improvement), and put her on Purina Pro Plan sensitive skin/stomach salmon, in conjunction with 4 once a week doses of ivermectin(possible mites, not detectable). We let him know she is allergic to at least chicken, and the z/d as you know, has hydrolyzed chicken liver. He stated he did not have great confidence in the z/d when it came to some pet's levels of allergies to chicken."
Love your knowledge. More need to learn from you
Thank you. Happy to help
My Dog Is Finally eating the Science diet Digestive Care ID low fat After three weeks of trying he's doing much better his poop is now solid again no throwing up or coughing I'm a Happy mom again thanks hills and thanks to all the vets that work so hard to take care of our furbabies
Thank you for taking time to stay on top of it!
@@AnimalDocRea it's my honor to take care of little furbabies I love animals
Thank you for answering my question!! I’m comparing a vet GI puppy diet to a OTC GI sensitive and they had extremely similar AAFCO %. I was told the vet diet was low fat but I don’t see a huge difference except price tag…
I’d check with your vet to make sure it doesn’t have to do with the digestibility of ingredients as well before switching off of a prescription, otherwise great work checking labels!
Stumbled upon your channel and definitely like the analysis of the food. I know a video back you compared purina one and purina pro plan; where you concluded they were essentially the same, just marketing difference.
In this video, I myself also saw that the purina one sensitive had chicken by product, and beef fat. It seems purina pro plan does NOT have the chicken by product on their sensitive version but has the beef fat, which I guess is because chicken is a common allergy. What are your thoughts on that?
For that very reason, you cannot use an OTC diet for food trial for dogs with food allergies. There is not enough regulation or restriction. Pro plan and the Purina one, although fine diets, are not suitable for a food trial or a diet for a dog with diagnosed food allergies. If your pet has a diagnosed food allergy as determined by a 12 week feeding test, then you would likely have to be on a prescription food allergy food. Side note, there is no blood test for food allergy, only feeding trials, so if someone tries to sell you a blood test for food allergies they are taking your money.
I would love a review on nutri source turkey & rice 😊
Noted!
Is pet insurance worth it if so which do u recommend? I heard only like 3 % of dog owners actually use it? I guess if they have chronic or pre existing condition im assuming it would be worth it at that point.
Insurance in pets is big in Europe but hasn’t really taken off in the US. I think it can be a good thing and allow people to do more for their pets when unexplained things happen. We can do such wonderful and advanced medical procedures these days, but with it comes a cost many people struggle with. Most pet insurances work on a reimbursement basis, that means you are still responsible for the costs and then insurance reimburse you at a later date.
My vet prescribed the hills science ID Low Fat and he won't eat it he will eat the Purina one digestive care though
What is your opinion on science diet large breed puppy food? My Great Pyrenees loves it but since she is my first giant breed I want to make sure she is getting all of the nutrients she needs.
Edit: Also is there a significant nutritional between the hills large breed lamb vs chicken?
I like that food and the chicken and lamb are comparable, I’d honestly just do whichever is cheaper
