Does anyone know why Purina changed the PPP SSS Salmon and Rice formula to be almost the same formula but no probiotics anymore and a slightly lower calorie count?
My dog has been doing well on this food, but the most recent bag I received has a different label that states a new formula. The food looks a bit lighter in color and my dog seems to like it the same, but I am disappointed that they have taken the probiotics out. Has anyone else noticed a difference? I see a lot of recent negative reviews for this new formula.
