Dog food review: Purina One vs Purina Beneful

Dog food review comparing Purina One Lamb and Rice VS Purina Beneful with real beef.

[@ceciliaault4240]

It's always helpful to add up the points for each brand so that you are clear about who scored better. I don't want to spend time watching the comparisons, to be confused at the end as to which one was the best.

[@AnimalDocRea]

This was before I came up with the point system, but yes that was the idea in inventing it

[@mannylorenzana2799]

Hi I feed my dog purina pro plan and I am thinking on switching him to victor hi pro plus can you do a video on comparing those two ?

[@AnimalDocRea]

Ill add it to my list of diets to look into.

[@bacz42]

Do you have a suggestion/favorite for an overweight dog with chicken sensitivity? My 5y/o rescue dog has been on Purina One Lamb & Rice for a few years (I add carrots or other veggies too). But she’s struggling to lose weight (shes 32lbs and should be about 25lbs). She also has a mild heart murmur purportedly from grain free diet when she was at a shelter. The vets say this food she’s on is “fine” and had no other suggestions.

[@AnimalDocRea]

First check to make sure your diet isnt all life stages, then make sure you are feeding the weight they should be, not what they are using the resting energy requirement. I have several videos on this. Lastly, I wouldn’t necessarily limit yourself to a chicken free diet because all OTC diets likely have some chicken in it because unless it’s an RX diet it’s processed with other diets and is not regulated. This may open up your options to diets like perfect weight ( I have a video on that one) or other restrictive diets like Purina OM

Hello, I have a question is grain free food better than regular dog food?

[@AnimalDocRea]

Grain free is actually recently proven to cause heart failure in dogs. It is recommended that if you feed grain free you change as soon as possible

[@densan7856]

Or ad some home made grains to your pets food, de cuality of grain free food its better, no corn,wheat , soy and no by-products.

Hi, can you do a review on the purina one true instinct? Is it worth the extra bucks?

[@AnimalDocRea]

I’ll add it to the list

[@blush427]

Would purina be a good brand to stick to? I wanted to switch my newly adopted puppy to blue Buffalo slowly. Thanks, super helpful video :)

[@AnimalDocRea]

The purina brand is really broad. Some of their foods are better than others. You should check out my video on pro plan vs Purina one for a more in depth explanation. But the short answer is, it depends Wich Purina food you are talking about.

[@blush427]

Thanks!

[@dogagility411]

Purina puts a lot of scientific research behind their foods. Totally can trust them! Switching my girl from Nutrisource to Purina Pro Plan. :) They are the few that meet WSAVA guidelines.

[@AnimalDocRea]

Very true, well said

[@AnimalDocRea]

I’m glad the video was helpful

[@ThaRedPitbull]

Do you think Purina is an alright dog food? I was feeding my dog the "healthy" dog food that doesn't have the grains and corn but he starting drinking a lot of water and peeing like a race horse. I got him the Lamb and rice and now he's drinking water normally again. He's a senior dog too. 14 years old.

[@AnimalDocRea]

I would get into your vet as senior dogs with increased drinking can be signs of more concerning conditions and not likley related to diet.

[@ThaRedPitbull]

@@AnimalDocRea He was taken to the vet for it. They said it was because he was old. It seems that it was something in the dog food because it has stopped.

[@AnimalDocRea]

glad he is doing better

[@pandora_3314]

Thanks for the video, lots of good information. Is Purina Dog Chow, the classic original formula, a good food in your opinion? Thanks.

[@AnimalDocRea]

Yes, it is

[@martacastellanos3394]

Cual es la mejor comida para perritos pequeños adultos

[@eljona1665]

Cualquier comida que diga “small breed”

[@AnimalDocRea]

I try not to recommend any specific food, I just try and give you the tools you need to make an informed decision

[@seasongreetings3200]

I thought you were going to say which one is better.

[@AnimalDocRea]

This channel is more about giving you the tools to evaluate the food for whats best for your pet. I just point out the important things to look at and all the tricky marketing traps.

[@karenfaumuina9395]

Lol me too

[@jessicamiles5487]

Is purina beneful and purina one and purina pro plan good to feed?

[@AnimalDocRea]

Depends on your pets specific needs

[@sheilaparsley1562]

I use Purina One Chicken and Rice

[@AnimalDocRea]

nice

[@karenfaumuina9395]

That’s all I wanted to know which one is better lol

[@AnimalDocRea]

It’s all on an individual basis. These videos are about giving you the knowledge to pick out marketing pitfalls and assess a food for your pets specific needs

[@carolineshomestead2560]

I tried a bunch of high end foods for my Dogo Argentino mix and nothing was working for her and I was having to express her anal glands weekly. Switched to Purina One Lamb and Rice and solid poops! I just add additional probiotics and glucosamine to her food. Very pleased

[@AnimalDocRea]

Glad you found a winner

[@teleportdinero]

whoever sold me this beneful betrayed me

[@AnimalDocRea]

Sorry :(

[@chrism.4544]

she doesn't introduce herself as doctor with credentials.

[@AnimalDocRea]

Introducing in many many past videos and credentials listed with 100% transperancy in the description box of every video. I don’t go over it anymore because I’m Literally 3 years and 6.6k subscribers in and they don’t want me degree dropping every video

[@kimmytaehyuine5039]

She’s probably the only person on KZbin who is an actual vet. But you seem to be one of those to take the opinion of someone with a online certification over someone who actually went to school for years to do what they love
