   This is healthy, high quality kibble that doesn’t break the bank. It’s the ONLY brand, and style, of dry dog food that all three of our dogs, (as well as our beloved Buddy who passed at the end of last year,) all liked, and, miracle of miracles, not a one of the four was allergic to it! It cleared up one dog’s skin rashes, got another dog to just eat his blessed dinner without drowning it in table scraps and gravy, got rid of the entire pack’s nasty, rank-smelling, postprandial gas, and it firmed up all their stools! It is great, high-quality food for the remaining elderly basset hound, the elderly chihuahua and the elderly chi-pug-hua. (A chi-pug-hua is what happens when a chihuahua mama is crossed with a half-chihuahua and half-pug daddy, and boy is she cute with her little square pug butt and pigeon toes in the back!)

   I can’t say there is anything that I like the least. I was trying to find a brand of dog food to switch because of what I heard about the ****** ‘n ****.I decided that even though I couldn’t afford the best then I would just spend a little extra $ and get the best I could . At first I was worried they wouldn’t like the food or because they were used to the other kind they wouldn’t want it. But obviously I was wrong. They love this dog food especially the tinder mini morsels. They both like to hit the food first and eat all them little morsels before everything else. They love them. I also have noticed a change in their behavior for the better and physically because I do have older dogs and this is a review on the 7 plus formula. And I can’t find it at every single store because I have issues with Transportation so this works out perfectly with my Prime Membership I get my free two-day shipping and I will never run out and never leave my home to try to find a place to buy this food. Thank you Amazon

   This sweet boy will be 16 on November 2nd. He had lost a significant amount of weight, was having mobility issues, the onset of dementia and just didn’t seem to have energy. His dementia was scary because he would do little things, like trying to get up on the couch by going over the armrest or getting stuck behind a door and not being able to figure that all he had to do was backup to get out. We were so scared that his end was near. Our vet suggested we start him on a senior food and suggested Purina. We did this and within two to three weeks, we saw such a positive change in him! Although he still has spinal stenosis, for the first time in two years he has been able to put his paws up on my lap and does it frequently. He seems to be more focused, mentally clear, happier and wasn’t doing the odd behavior he displayed before. We are SO incredibly grateful that he has seen improvement. We know we wont have him forever (wish that were possible!) but we love seeing him have a better quality of life. Had we not tried this product, we would never have believed that his food could make such a change in his health I’m SO sold on this product! Thank you, Purina!

   I have a rasty old high-energy Jack Russel/Beagle mix who was very fond of the regular Purina One food, but by about 9 years old he was starting to have major mobility issues. He was slowing down, he couldn’t jump up on beds anymore and at times he would almost completely lose control of his back legs for a week or so. I helped him ride through the bad times with pain meds and heating pads and got him stairs so that he could climb up and down on furniture. I was more or less resigned to the fact that this was just how it was going to be going forward.I was generally of the opinion that “puppy” and “senior” dog food labels were primarily marketing terms, but I read around that senior dog food blends did have supporting supplements for joint and muscle issues and he was getting so bad that I thought, what could it hurt to give it a try? There weren’t immediate results, he didn’t eat a bowl and he was better overnight, but over the last six months I’ve steadily gotten my rasty, rambunctious dog back. He’s notoriously picky about food, but he likes the taste of this. He has put on weight, and he’s back to being able to jump up with no problems! His energy has returned, and we haven’t had another debilitating back spasm/spine compression issue like Beagles are prone to, knock on wood. He’s almost 11 now, and grayer than ever, but he’s feeling good enough to be his old obnoxious self, and I’m sure that this food has had a cumulative effect that has helped him to do that.

   We have a seniors German Shepherd mix. She’s a rescue, but the vet puts her at about 13 years old. She has joint issues, as well as glaucoma. However, you’d never be able to tell by the amount of activity she shows. I truly believe this good played a large role in that.Before switching to Vibrant Maturity, she had always rated Dog Chow. That was kind of a hit or miss with her, and sometimes we had to add things to it to get her to eat it. (She’s a sucker for condiments!) She also seemed very sluggish, and like she might be nearing her end times.However, once we put her on this food, she gobbles it right up. It’s kind of soft and chewy, and had large chunks of chicken in it, which she absolutely loves! I can tell a major incline in her health, and she seems happier than ever!We recommend this food to every person with a senior dog we know!

   My dogs have aged and it was time to move them onto the senior formula. We were using the Costco branded chicken flavor dog food before this, so that was a bit cheaper per serving but they do not make a senior diet formula so onto Purina One we go. This style of food has chunks of chicken and smaller kibble than the Costco food so that suits my little 15 pound dog a bit better. My Wife is a Vet Tech and she says this is one of the better mass foods out there, even better than the non prescription brands her hospital sells. I trust her expertise so my two older dogs feast on Purina One Senior Formula.

   I love this product it’s the best Senior Wet dog food I found for my 9 year old !! He was having a problem eating his dry food and completely stopped eating besides his treats. I started to do some research and came upon this product to make things a bit more interesting for him. Well, since day 1 he loves it and he eats every bit of his dry and wet dog mixed together. I am sooo happy to say he is doing well no reactions or side effects God Willing. I will definitely recommend this wet dog food to anyone who is experiencing the same situation for there Senior Dog. I know it’s hard to decide and you want the best for them but this product was definitely the best choice I did for my baby boy!!

   Purine One SmartBlend Vibrant Maturity Adult 7+ is the only food that I can feed my dog without his allergies flaring up. I used to buy really expensive grain- free dog foods w/ different meat content in attempt to deal with his food allergies, but they never seemed to make a difference. This has saved me money & kept him noticeably free of allergic reaction. He really enjoys the taste, too. I have been using this food for about 8 months & he seems to be acting like he did when he was a bit younger. (He is 11 years old.). I started using this food on the personal recommendation of a vet tech.at his clinic.& have not regretted it.

   Update my Buddy loves the food only draw back even tho his mom didnt know that senior food is designed to put weight on an older dog and my boy has really put weight on and his Dr. said to change food.so I have changed his food and gotten him treats with the joint meds so he is getting new food , new treats as recommended for his weight and I hope next visit he will a slimmer Buddy.I realize this isnt suppose to be for young dogs BUT it is working great for buddy he is over weight having some joint issues .We have him on a diet but nothing, he has always ate purina One dog food but changed to this blend he is losing weight because I assume of not hurting he now runs and plays like a dog his age should , I plan on keeping him on this blend. Thank You Purina One for mature dogs blend it is helping Buddy so much and he loves the taste.

    I have a 7 1/2 yrs. old mini Aussie, I switched her to this brand about a year ago and the changes have been amazing! Her weight is healthy which is something we struggled with and tried several other brand. It has help with her hips which were stiff, her coat looks wonderful, she has tons of energy and wants to play vs been a couch potato on the old brands dog food. Even my friends are surprised at the changes. Thanks for the great brand of dog food!!
