1 can Pro Plan Selects canned (5.5oz) either Chicken, Beef, Salmon or Turkey

I am happy to report that so far they are doing great. I think they LIKE the food (as in taste) more than anything else I have ever fed them. Even Piper runs to her crate when it is time to eat. She has yet to turn her nose up to a meal. Rommel has missed ONE meal, dont know what that was about...but he was right back to eating at the next meal.
I have always had to be careful about Ziris's weight, if she even looks at food she gains weight. (For instance, on EVO, I had to feed her the reduced fat EVO, even only eating 2 cups a day) She is at a good weight right now. I had her at a good weight when we started on Pro Plan and so far, she has maintained it. If anything, she might have trimmed up a tad, but she has also been training alot more than during the winter, and when the puppies were all here. BUT, she also gets more treats at training...so who knows.
No one has had runny stools, or even gas. (not even during the switch over to the food)
I can for SURE say that they have had smaller poops on Pro Plan. That was a very pleasant surprise, I was honestly expecting the opposite. Kind of scratched my head on that one due to Pro Plan ingredients vs. what I was feeding, but I am not complaining.
Everyone still has a really nice shiny coat.
Overall, so far so good. I know that it takes at least 30 days to REALLY notice a difference, but so far I am pretty happy with the food. What I am really happy with, is the fact that they all like it so much. That has not always been the case with other foods I have tried. Piper has even gained a pound or two, which she needed.
I am not from a "looking at the ingredients on the bag" point of view...thrilled....BUT what I am SEEING in my dogs is great.....and I am going to continue to feed it. It seems to be really agreeing with them well so far...small poops, nice coats, eat it with gusto, and plenty of energy.
I will keep you all updated
