Senior Dog Food With Probiotics for Dogs, Bright Mind 7+ Chicken & Rice Formula - 30 lb. Bag

Not too long ago my dog had a cyst in his mouth and the vet went ahead and removed all of his remaining teeth. Even being toothless and a smaller dog he gobbles this kibble down without issue. His stools are consistent with each poop being firm yet wet. He also licks himself less frequently (see picture of him on my lap) as he would lick himself compulsively to the point of developing red streaks his legs. This food contains probiotics, MTC's, and glucosamine all of which are important ingredients to have for older dogs. The probiotics help to strengthen their immune system and improve digestion and absorption of nutrients. The MTC's are a fatty-acid derived from vegetable oils that studies have shown to help cognitive function in older dogs. Glucosamine is a compound found in cartilage that can help dogs with hip and joint pain. I recommend you give it a try, especially if you have an older dog that seems to be declining cognitively. There's really no reason not to since it's affordable, highly rated, and widely available both here on Amazon and at pet stores.

Got this dog food for my senior dog who was 14 it was a great dog food for him for the last year and a half of his life he really benefited from the nutrition standpoint being he was an older dog. Although it is pricey, I do believe that Purina pro plan senior is great quality for your older dogs.

My senior dog has been on this brand for 6 years. Never had any issues.

My dog liked it. Tho I ran out and had to buy another Pro Plan choice at the supermarket and he liked another one better, which I will order next time.

I have had my three senior dogs on Pro Plan Savor 7+ for many years. On the recommendation of a friend, I upgraded to the "Bright Mind" food for all three--two small dogs and one boxer. I like that the Bright Mind does not have the "shredded" soft pieces that the Savor contains. My dogs don't enjoy chewy bits anymore. So that alone was a plus. The boxer and one of the smaller dogs, who is diabetic) have done fine with the Bright Mind variety, though I can't say I have seen the kind of marked improvements others describe--maybe because they were already on a Pro Plan diet or maybe they both have hearing and vision impairments and arthritis so they are just not going to gambol about. Still I am happy with the food and plan to keep using it for them. (I get the small breed variety for the diabetic Yorkie mix and regular for the boxer, which is still a small-size kibble.) The other smaller dog is a Pekingese mix, also around 13 years old, deaf, and with some respiratory and skin issues. We've never found the source of her conditions, so we try to keep her diet simple and treat the symptoms. I was hoping the Bright Mind might help with her skin issues--it did not, but they didn't get worse either. What did happen was that this dog whose only strong suit had been good digestion/poop became constipated and developed a very hard stool. I thought it was a fluke at first, but we kept her on it for a few weeks, and she continued to struggle with her bowel movements, which had never been a problem before. So I switched her back to the Savor 7+/small breed, and she's back to normal. I just hate having three different bags of dog food for three dogs! We also supplement all three with some canned food (ONE or Beyond), about a tablespoon of cooked ground turkey or chicken, and Cosequin in each meal, which has been their constant menu for several years. So PP Bright Mind is a good food, and it's certainly going to be a great improvement if you've been feeding your dogs stuff like Pedigree, Beneful, Old Roy, or even regular Purina. It just may not be a huge difference if you're already feeding a "premium" quality food. (I'd be interested to know if anyone else has experienced the constipation problem with this food.) Thank you for taking good care of your pets!

I have a 12 yr old Boxer mix. I've always stayed clear of Purina kibble products, but recently tried this 'Pro Plan Senior Dog' product to hopefully help with his arthritis. My Boxer has always had what I call 'peanut butter poop' since he was a puppy. I was pleasantly surprised when his poop became 'regular - firm' with the first bag (now on the second 30lb bag). I will stick with this product for the rest of his life.

Excellent quality! Highly vet recommended dog food! Top ingredients for the health of your dog!

Completely fixed my older dog's recent nighttime startling and pacing. He's sleeping solidly through the night again-and so am I. Will repurchase for the rest of his days.

Purina Pro was recommended by my vet several years ago. I was paying for really expensive and what I thought was high quality food, turns out it was not. I tried Purina Pro, my dog actually ate it! You can rotate flavours so your pet doesn't get bored. Know she is a "senior dog" but you wouldn't know it! Best decision ever switching to this affordable, convenient food option. Comes right to my door and often goes on sale!

This is quality dog food that the seller is selling at an over inflated price. I'm shocked that Amazon is allowing this considering the same product is advertised with a different seller at half the price on Amazon. My error in not paying attention to the quantity as it is dog food I have ordered previously from Amazon at a very fair price. The seller is unwilling to compensate and frankly I am shocked that Amazon allows this to occur.

Our dog loves this food. The kibble is smaller, but since he chews his food it isn't a problem. At 9 and a half he is still very energetic and has lots of pep when running loose. It also appears to be very digestible judging on the output we pick up.

2 goldens, 1 bernese Fantastic! Guaranteed!

we noticed a change after few days that our 14 years old dog became more active and happy. highly recommend for older dogs!
