Pro Plan Senior Original Chicken Dry Dog Food is a complete and balanced diet for senior dogs, made with 14% chicken for plenty of protein and taste. It is put together with 12% rice to support a healthy digestive system, along with anti-age nutrients to enhance immunity, activity level and alertness.

How does it keep my dog fit and healthy?

Maintenance - Everything your older dog needs to eat to keep healthy is in the food, in all the right amounts.
Skin and Coat - Provides fish oils and specific vitamins for healthy skin and a full shiny coat.
Digestion - Contains 12% rice to avoid stomach upsets and aid healthy digestion.
Immunity - Anti-age nutrients in the diet help to support the immune system.
Brain - Anti-age nutrients help to promote alertness and mental health.
Weight - Contains more protein and less carbohydrates to aid weight management.

And, how do I feed it to my dog?

You can just give the dry food straight to your dog in a bowl. Always follow the packet feeding guidelines so that you know how much to feed.

So, Is it a good food to buy?

A great food that can be fed to support your senior dog's health and needs. 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 dog?

Does your dog have bad breath or teeth?

The dry food is made into kibble (small round biscuit like peices) which the dog bites and chews to eat; when this happens the kibble actually helps to keep the teeth clean and remove tartar! So, if your dog has bad breath and teeth this could be helped massively by using a dry feed.

Does your dog have a dull or rough coat?

The diet contains fish oils and specific vitamins for added skin and coat nourishment.

What product?!

by

Have not received this so cannot give a review. Have used other Purina products so was looking forward to my old dog trying this but WHERE IS IT? Gone walkabout maybe.

OK

by

My trial pack (5kg) was enough to feed my Springer X Lab for about 10 days. Probably not long enough to find out if this would be have the advertised effects. My dog is not exactly a fussy eater, most food is consumed with relish, only celery is spat out in disgust! So yes, she did enjoy this food.
The tests didn't help at all... Hide food anywhere, and she will find it - she IS a Springer after all! Letting her off a lead does not happen, a rescue with no recall training as a puppy, if allowed off lead, she would never be seen again! And greeting... Well she always went crazy when we come home. So no change there either!
She may have been a little livelier after a couple of days on the food, but after the long hot summer we have had, it could have been the cooler weather that made her more active. I don't think a trial with just 5kg of food was really enough, and as the food is much more expensive than I would normally be able to pay, I was not able to buy the bigger pack to see for sure.

Amazing results

by

My dog George was introduced to PURINA® PRO PLAN® DOG 7+ food with OPTIAGE™ a month ago and I was surprised by the results to George's health and wellbeing.
He is more excited now when I come in through the door after I've been out and is much keener to go out for a walk nowadays. His coat is looking shinier too. Taking into account these changes, I will keep feeding George this food

High quality loved by him

by

My 12 yo dog is often not interested in his food but this food he was happy to eat. I assume the correct size and texture of the pieces for an older dog plus the taste delivery when does eat it. Hopefully he’ll benefit from improved nutrition to keep him going much longer in comfort

Great packaging, great food!

by

I trailed this food on my energetic border collie, No two words-he loved it! Not a morsel wasted! His coat was so much brighter and shinier. His poo was so much better if you know what I mean!-easy to pick up.

My dogs favourite food

by

My dog enjoying every single bite of the dry food. Nice ingredients, full of taste. Very reasonable price. The most important my dog is happy chap, great experience.

good stuff

by

my cocker spaniel enjoyed eating this food. it really seemed to perk him up quite a bit. he wanted to go on more walks than he usually did. i would recommend pro plan for any dog.

Harley has been transformed

by

I am really happy with the quality of the food. Harley loves it and we have seen a marked improvement in his health I would recommend to anyone. It’s bern a good choice

Amazing

by

I was sent this Optiage as a trial and I could see the difference in my dog within 2 weeks, he is 12 years old and has started to slow down with arthritis but since eating this food he is much more lively and happy! He is like a puppy again thanks to Purina Optiage. I would highly recommend this food.

rejuvenated

by

Bella has been devouring this for a month with relish. She has been acting like a much younger dog, although she is 10. Keen to go out for her walks and mischievous in the house.

Great food

by

Brought this for my dog and the improvement in his digestion system has been amazing. This product was highly recommended by the vets and looking at other reviews it seems to help most elderly dogs

Wow

by -

I honestly cannot believe a dog food could make such a difference to my ageing springer he has gone from old man to a boy in his prime. Back to his full mischievous ways aa well as the bright, alertness and a overall shine to his coat. Yes it's more expensive but for the sparkle and energy that your dog will show surely that's better that a sluggish uninterested dog with no zest for life, for me it was a no brained.

Happy doggy

by -

My dog loves it and for an old girl she seems to be a lot more energetic and enthusiastic since eating it. Her coat is shinier too

Just a clean bowl

by -

Our 8 year old Tank loves Pro Plan not only dose Pro Plan help give tanks coat body and shin, give him a bounce in his step and a lovely wet nose, he also really enjoys eating it and will without fail leave a empty bowl every time.
Unlike other brands of dog food we have tried in the past Pro Plan has been kind on his tummy and the change over to Pro Plan was a breeze.
Tank is a very hyper dog so I can’t say I noticed too much change in him in that way, but I would definitely say he’s more happy on Pro Plan and it definitely shows.
Over all I would definitely say Tank loves Pro Plan and in return I have noticed a change in his behaviour and condition all round and would recommend Pro Plan to any one who’s thinking of making the change.

Pleasantly surprised

by -

8 year old staffie Ringo has been trying Purina Pro plan with optitage for about a month now. I wasn't convinced upon starting this that there would be much of a change in him physically or mentally- just another marketing hype. As the month went on I was pleasantly surprised. He was excited when he could hear the bowl coming and every meal was finished pretty quickly. Living in a second floor flat,stairs can slow him down at times. He seems to be taking them in his stride not being so stiff and still being energetic once reaching the top. He has always been playful,just seems lately he has had that "little extra" about him. This has definitely been a him and will be continuing this food for future use,being something that isn't going to be braking the bank either. Big thumbs up all round.

Great Food

by -

I've been trialing this for a month now and my dog loves it - He's also much more active and alert and i'd recommend this this to anyone with an older dog -it really works.

The best dog food

by -

I have been feeding my 9 year old dog. He loves the flavour and texture of the food. I’m very happy because he is really fussy. I have definitely noticed a difference in the behaviour. He's got a lot of energy and a lovely glossy coat now. At meal times he now rushes to his dog bowl and laps up the food. When we walking, he’s a lot faster. He wants to play a lot more and he is happier. I have a puppy again. My daughter love it. She plays with him all day. I would definitely recommend this food and I’ll buy it again and again.

Excellent results

by -

Our 7 year old is thoroughly enjoying this food and has been bouncing around as usual despite the hot weather!

by -

My two girls love this food the kibble is just the right size for them as getting old they don’t like there food to big and they have been more energetic due to the fantastic nutrition in it definitely recommend to anyone

Brilliant, Pooch loves it

by -

My dog is well into his senior years, sleeps more and not as interested in playing as much. We decided to give pro plan a go and see if it would help give him a little boost. We are pleased to say that our dog is brighter, more playful, moves about more. It’s like he has been given an injection of life. He loves the pro plan food and gobbles it up every time.

Amazing results with Axel

by -

This food is premium quality food that smells amazing. You know that there is plenty of good quality meat included. We aimed to feed just the older dog (Axel) but the others couldn't resist. They are normally set on their food but looks like we have now swapped to this food.

energy dinner for old dog

by -

My Bullmastiff is 7yrs old and has started to slow down with his age. He sleeps alot and doesn't have energy to do big walks anymore. He is stiff getting up and down stairs and doesn't enjoy jumping in and out of the car. We tried him on Pro Plan Optiage and have noticed him slowly becoming less stiff and more active, now playing with the other dogs and looking to go out for walks and car rides. We would highly recommend thia product to anymore with a older dog.

Brilliant!

by -

My dog seems so much more energetic, happy and settled! She also never eats dry food before trying this! It’s a miracle.
