Review: This is a league by itself, not like regular purina, its superb quality, for puppies also! - Great dog food. My rottweiler puppy is on this. I got him from a breeder and they have champion AKC rottweilers on it. I'm not a big fan of purina dog food. However, this pro plan is. It's in a league of its own. I saw the rottweiler parents and they were absolutely beautiful. Very healthy shiny coats. No health problems an they eat tvis also. So as for now, I will keep our puppy on it. The dog food was fresh. There was hard nuggets in it, semi soft nuggets. Also you could tell the food was fresh. The bag was heavy duty & sturdy. A Thick material to keep the food fresh. I like the ingredients. I'm also not fond of chicken. As in dog food these days as so many allergies, but the puppy seems to devour this food, he loves it and he does good on it. So for now, it's a win! the price is good for what you're getting, the quality, Of the product & the amount is great. He loves the taste. The quality is superb. The color is medium Brown. 8 wk old rottie pup has no problem, chewing it, and he's been weaned on to it at 6 weeks old. He's 8 weeks old now & he can chew it just fine. without adding any liquid, His poobs are solid no diarrhea, no gas or stomach issues, I ask the breeder If the adult dogs they had, had any bad gas or stomach issues, they said no. So the effectiveness is great. An chewability no issues. So Yes, 5 stars
