I know a lot of us don't feed Purina ProPlan, and I know a lot of us do.

I personally don't. But I am curious what percentage of the members here do? :?

This is not intended to be a dog food debate thread, so please don't make it one!

"Do you currently feed Purina ProPlan to your dogs?"

"Yes" or "No?"

Why do you ask??? Just curious. I voted yes by the way.
Multiple reasons. Not the least of which was getting an idea (albeit not a scientific one) how deep all their support of our games reaches?

I was thinking to myself maybe 50% at best. The polling now stands at over 70%. Amazing.

We tend to be a loyal bunch. And numbers like these should make them want to support us even more.

I feed my dog Iams large breed. My reasons are:
1) My dog likes it.
2) It is a top quality brand
3) The large breed formula seems to have prevented or at least helped prevent my previous dogs from having hip/joint problems. Just my observations.
4) It's readily available to me, whereas Purina is only available locally from the farmers coop, which has hours that don't really work for me.

Not only is pro-plan an excellent feed,,, it's readily available all over the country. That's important when your on the road or doing a summer trip.

Their customer service is excellent no matter where I've been.

Purina supports HRC by giving each club several hundred pounds of Performance food ususally twice a year. That's a lot of dog food. They also support the Grand Hunt twice a year. Purina supports dog shows but not to the extent that they do for field events IMO. I fed Pro plan because of that support and the food is good for my dogs.

We found ProPlan about 12 years ago when we had a problem with 3 dogs getting sick on a freshly bought and opened bag of another brand. We've been with them ever since and have recommended them to puppy buyers as well as friends who ask what we feed. Since I believe in the addage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." We haven't even thought about changing in all these years. We feed ProPlan Puppy tunil the pups are about 5-6 months old and ProPlan Performance year round to all our dogs. It works for us.

Purina ProPlan is a sponsor of the events we run as mentioned by others above and also are sponsors of the Master National, National Amateur, and National Open. Thank you, Purina!

We quit feeding it...our dogs coats and skin are better with a different food - Blackwood...

I appreciate that the company does support events...

We do and it's because of the quality of food combined with their support of our sport and their level of service.

When I was up in Michigan, I had to buy a few bags of food to get home and it was about $10 higher ($40 something). I was talking to my rep on the phone and he sent me coupons for I think four or six free bags.

In the scheme of things, I think the market of hunt tests and field trials is relatively small. I guess they wouldn't spend time on us if it didn't make them money, but the Purina reps are quite often at hunt tests and trials. They are always at the master national (and I'm sure other events). They stay in touch and respond quickly to emails.

That means a lot to me.

We have dozens of dogs that go through here each month and without ever looking at anything scientific, it's clear to me which foods are the best quality... I switch a lot of clients to pro plan.

The dogs like it and you can get it any where, and my dog’s coats are just fine.
