Our 87lb black lab is straight muscle and hungry! She loves her Purina Dog Chow. We feed her twice a day and her coat is healthy and shiny and she is in great health. The cost is hands down the reason we choose Purina - so much more for the same cost of other brands for half the amount. Some will argue the ingredients are inferior to other brands, but we’ve tried some of the more expensive brands and didn’t notice any difference in her coat or her behavior.

This is one of the only brands of dog food my dog will eat. Her stomach is sensitive and she is able to stomach this, it's amazing. Not only that but she's very picks and will only eat this.

Compared to the price of other dog foods, Purina is clearly the winner for me. The nutritional value coupled with the relatively cheap nature of the food makes it a win for my dog and me! My dog loves it, and I love my wallet after purchasing it!

I own a 2 year old German Shepard that has a lot of energy. She spends most of the time in the yard burning energy do I needed to find a high protein/ calorie food for her. She seems too like it a lot because it is usually gone in under a minute. It’s fairly cheap and doesn’t smell too bad for dog food.

we recently adopted a dog from the shelter and this is what they fed the dogs there (purina donates free food to them). We appreciated that gesture so much that we stuck with this brand and really like it (well, our dog really likes it)

Our dogs love Purina dog foods. We have been feeding them this food for over 8 years and now that our dogs are starting to get older we will be able to continue to provide them with food they love as they transition to a chow that incorporates their needs.

My dog has eaten Purina ONE since he was a puppy. He loves it and never gets sick of it. We have recently switched food to Science Diet (Doctor's orders), but Purina was good to him and he loved it since his puppy years! Our Cat still eats Purina Cat Chow and it's absolutely the only food she eats!

My kitties devoured the new Purina Purely Fancy Feast Filets. Unlike other cat foods where the fish doesn't smell fresh, you could tell in Purina's food everything was made fresh and they loved it. I have already stocked the kitty food cabinet with more because of how fast they ate it

I Obviously have no idea what this taste like but my dog seems to like it. The value is good. I will say it’s not the cheapest one you can buy but it does seem like my dog likes it more than Walmart brand. I guess it’s a trusted company because I’ve seen her around for so many years and it’s what my parents used for our pets

I buy Purina dog food for my dog because it is a name that I trust, it is a good price, and They have had a history of producing healthy safe food over many years. I trust my dog will get the nutrients and benefits he needs out of Purina dog food.

We use this brand at my local animal shelter. Our pickier eaters don't turn down Purina often! The taste and smell is fur-pal approved. The bags are also pretty full, so you get your moneys worth.

Purina Pet Foods was a great source of nutrition for our puppy. We were able to use Purina throughout our pet's life. That helped in health and digestive processes and kept us out of the vets office. Great value!

Purina is philanthropic and healthy for pets. This has always been my go-to brand for my dogs. They love the stuff! It is also a great price and knowing that some of it goes back to pet-related charities is comforting.
