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 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 meat is a good protein source.

Protein Amount: This diet is 32% protein; a more-than-enough amount for 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 Athletic Dry Puppy Food is a complete and balanced diet for growing puppies, made with 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 rice and colostrum for easy digestibility and to avoid stomach upsets.
Growth - Has a good amount of calcium and phosphorus to support growing. Also has neccessary higher amount of fats (oils), protein and B vitamins to aid the energy needs of growing 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.

 

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.
