- Is this food good for dogs with itchy skin?
- It is designed for sensitive skin, with omega-6 fatty acids and no wheat, corn or soy. It helps many dogs with mild itching, but it is not a hypoallergenic diet and won't fix a diagnosed food allergy.
- Does it contain chicken?
- Yes. Beef is the first ingredient, but the formula also includes chicken by-product meal and other animal proteins. Dogs with a confirmed chicken allergy should look elsewhere.
- How do I switch my dog to it?
- Mix increasing amounts of the new food with the old over seven to ten days. A slow transition lowers the chance of loose stools, which some owners report.
- Is it for puppies or adult dogs only?
- It is formulated for adult dogs. Puppies and pregnant or nursing dogs need a growth or all-life-stages formula instead.
- How does it compare with grain-free sensitive-stomach foods?
- It keeps oat as a gentle grain rather than going grain-free, and it is easier to find and usually simpler than limited-ingredient diets. Grain-free foods may suit dogs with specific grain issues, but most sensitive dogs do fine on this.
- What sizes does it come in?
- It is sold in several bag sizes, from small bags for trial to large bags for multi-dog homes. Check the bag for the exact weight.
- Where is the Purina Pro Plan Specialized Sensitive Skin Stomach Beef Oat 13 cheapest?
- At Petsmart, for $3.49, as of our latest check.
