I have been feeding two different purina foods. Hi-Pro and Pro-Plan. We used to feed Diamond until one of our females developed an allergy to the food, and she would clear a room with her gas. :o Switched the 3 inside dogs to Pro-Plan and they are doing really well on it, and the gas is gone also. :)
