Key Points
Suitable for: All large breed puppies as a complete and balanced diet to support their growth into adulthood.
Main Ingredient: The main ingredient is chicken (17%), a good protein-packed ingredient; much better than most diets that use cereal as the main ingredient!
Main Meat Source: The exact origin of the chicken is not listed, but it is a top protein source.
Protein Amount: This diet is 29% protein; within the minimum and maximum amount needed by puppies.
Product Aim: To support the growth of healthly puppies, while also promoting brain and vision development and immunity from containing DHA and colostrum like in mothers’ milk.
Allergy Benefits: None listed for product but the ingredients used are not known to commonly cause allergic reactions.
Is it a natural product? Yes; the diet does not list any named 'articifial' ingredients.
Does it include any additives? The additives used are added to benefit the puppy's health; vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Wind, bad breath, fur & teeth benefits? A healthy coat and skin is aided by omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. Colostrum in the diet helps avoid common puppy upsets. Dry food helps ‘clean' the teeth and avoid bad breath.
Can I only feed this one product? Yes, it is a complete food so you don’t need to feed any other food, just supply fresh clean water too.

PetShop.co.uk’s Full View
Pro Plan Large Breed Robust Dry Puppy Food is a complete and balanced diet for growing puppies, made with 17% chicken for good nutrition and palatability. It is specially formulated to help boost your puppy's health just like the mothers' milk would by added colostrum and DHA to support healthy immunity and vision and brain development.
How does it keep my puppy fit and healthy?
Brain and Vision - Contains DHA like mothers' milk to support eye and brain development.
Immunity - Includes colostrum, like in the mothers' milk, to support a healthy immune system.
Skin and Coat - Provides essential fatty acids for a thick and glossy coat.
Digestion - Contains 7% rice and also colostrum for easy digestibility and to avoid stomach upsets.
Growth - Has a good amount of calcium and phosphorus to support growing. Also has L-Carnitine and a higher amount of protein to support the needs of growing robust large breed puppies.
And, how do I feed it to my puppy?
You can just give the dry food straight to your puppy in a bowl, but for puppies under 3 months it is best to mix in a little water to make the food moist. Always follow the packet feeding guidelines so that you know how much to feed.
So, Is it a good food to buy?
A quality food that can be fed to support your puppy's health and growth. The packaging is honest about the ingredients. Feeding method is incredibly easy and the product is overall well priced.
Would it be agreeable with my puppy?
Does your puppy have bad breath or teeth?
The dry food is made into kibble (small round biscuit like peices) which the puppy bites and chews to eat; when this happens the kibble actually helps to keep the teeth clean and remove tartar! So, if your puppy has bad breath and teeth this could be helped massively by using a dry feed.
Does your puppy have a dull or rough coat?
The diet provides essential omega 3 and 6 fatty acids for a thicker and more glossy coat. Also in the diet is a good amount of vitamin A for further skin and coat nourishment.

Pro Plan Large Athletic Chicken Puppy Dry Dog Food
by LC -
Switched to Purina Pro Plan following veterinary treatment on a digestive pro plan option which our GSD couldn’t have shown more eagerness for. Tried reverting to Royal Canin after the vet prescription diet and he wasn’t interested. After trying other alternatives bought this Pro Plan Puppy and somersaults have returned at meal times. Poo 💩 is firm healthy and consistent. He seems very satisfied.
Unexpected top quality from Purina
by Kate -
Although the low price for a 12kg puppy food is a must, quality is something even better... easily outranks many super premium ones out there.

Dog laps it up
by mirnsd
My dog loves this food. He can't get enough of it. Seems to be doing him good and would buy again. Not sure I am convinced by all the health claims but it is early days yet.
Silky Coat
by Leigh016
My dog has been on this food for about a month now and he loves it! Not only that but it has made his coat so shiny we are constantly getting compliments.
Good size pieces
by Skimmer1992
Have been feeding my 17 month old Labrador puppy this for a few weeks now and he loves it. His cost is shiny and it's kind on his stomach. He can't wait to get to his bowl!.
Happy Puppy
by GarrettH94
Since having our puppy we have tried several different foods as after a few meals she gets very bored and stops eating. This has not been the case with the Pro Plan. She chows down every meal and the biscuit sizes are perfect for her too. The measuring cup and guidelines were very easy to follow as well, stopped my puppy from leaving to much or begging for more. Overall very good quality food and one happy puppy.
highly recommend
by christine241
my dog has been fed on waggs from when we got him, he always leaves half, since being on Purina he empty the bowl every time, would recommend to anybody, he dances round the room now, when i get his bowl out
Fantastic Fud!
by Tinky666
Have a very picky rescue who has thrived on this food! He's maintaining a good weight, no stinky butt puffs (a previous HUGE issue!), no dodgy tummy (again, was an issue), his coat looks fantastic, all sleek & glossy, he has bags of energy & I know he's getting everything he needs in one convenient bag. He's a big dog so being able to buy by the sack is handy!
Puppy love.
by Tanyac1990
My buddy is fussy when it comes to food and he normally doesnt go for buiscuits, but he absaloutly loves purina. He was recently castrated at the vets amd they asked what food he was on so we told them purina and they actually recommended it wich was a supeise. Buddy has coped with the food change brilliantly hes had no upset tummy and he wolfs the food done, we have now fully changed to purina.
Scrummy :)
by cuddles37
I started my Golden Retriever gradually on Purina so as not to upset his tummy (he is prone to digestive issues). He ate the Purina with gusto, absolutely loved it! I even used the Purina kibble as treats and they were very handy/useful for training purposes too. We have no poo problems either. I even think his coat is more lustrous too, I really couldn't recommend Purina enough.
Very impressed.
by bekaamichelle
My dog absolutely loves this, he seems to be going off his food and gets bored quite quickly.. but this he just keeps going back for more. Will definitely be buying some for my bear
