I've been feeding PPP puppy to our lab since she was 8 weeks old. I alternate between the chicken and the lamb formula. No problems. Good, solid stool, growing like a weed. Then, when I opened the last bag of the lamb formula the kibble was half the size of the previous bags. I contacted Purina and asked them if this was an intentional change or did their quality control go south. So far I've gotten nothing back but pure corporate stroking with nothing of substance regarding this change. My question is "if you changed kibble size, did you change anything else?", or more concerning, "if you don't know the kibble size changed, how do you know what is in the food?"
I've tried PPP over the years and always came away, just like now, spooked because, even though they do nutrition research, they are still a huge corporation operating on least cost principals. I hate changing food because you may not see the impacts until later in the dog's life, but at the same time, if I don't feel Purina cares or really, knows, I'm going to change. My previous labs all ate Royal Canin and were good on it until one developed an allergy to corn or the chemicals they put on corn so she has been on grain-free for 8 years. I'd prefer not using grain free because of the negative impacts seen in the data, but in her case, it was necessary and worked.
Not sure what I'm going to do. I just know I'm uncomfortable with Purina.
