We've been feeding the Pro Plan Sensitive Systems now for 2 months and I like the results so far; shiny coats, good poop everyone likes it. Pro Plan is not holistic but it's a good basic food that most dogs do well on. (one of my mixes lived to be 17 on the Pro Plan Chicken/rice and my precious cattle dog died at 9 fed on Solid Gold and Chicken Soup her whole life)

Proplan is probably one of purina's better products... but purina's best product doesn't come close to the lower tier health focused dog food brands.
