Chicken & Rice Formula with Probiotics Dry Dog Food

Purina Pro Plan offers dog food recipes tailored to nearly all ages and lifestyles of canines. Most recipes feature high-quality animal or fish-based proteins as primary ingredients; all recipes also use meat as the primary protein source. Furthermore, Purina Pro Plan uses moderate quantities of common vegetable- and plant-based ingredients without including unneeded animal by-products; they occasionally use sunflower oil as an alternate fat source.

This recipe has been tailored specifically for large breed puppies that will weigh 50 pounds or more at maturity, including natural sources of glucosamine and DHA to promote optimal brain development in puppies, as well as guaranteed live probiotics to ensure maximum nutrient absorption.

This formula starts off with chicken as an excellent protein source, then uses rice as its carb base; providing energy-rich carbohydrates while providing essential chelated minerals and Omega-6 fatty acids to support bone and tooth development, skin and coat care and overall wellness in puppies.

Purina Pro Plan Focus Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

Purina Pro Plan is an international pet food brand known for their wide range of recipes designed to meet each dog’s individual dietary needs, whether weight management, sensitive stomach diets or special meals for special needs dogs.

Real chicken is the base ingredient in this recipe, providing protein as an essential nutrient and aiding optimal nutrient absorption. Formulated specifically for large breed dogs, this meal provides 26% protein and 12% fat to promote ideal body condition in large breed pets.

This recipe boasts an abundance of protein, prebiotic fiber to promote digestive health, glucosamine and EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid to support joint health, as well as an increased percentage of grains than typical Purina Pro Plan food; such as wheat and brewers rice which could potentially pose issues.

Purina Pro Plan Focus Large Breed Sensitive Skin & Stomach Dry Dog Food

Purina Pro Plan stands out among pet food brands by publishing extensive details of its testing and feed trials, making them one of the safest choices available to pets. They also have many specialty recipes tailored specifically to particular health concerns or weight requirements – for example a formula specifically made for sensitive skin/tummy conditions in dogs as well as Bright Mind recipes designed to enhance cognitive function in senior pets.

The initial three ingredients in this dry puppy formula are all premium meat sources that offer plenty of protein and fat, and are industry favorites because they’re easily obtainable, highly nutritious, and cost-effective for manufacturers.

The fourth ingredient is a moderate portion of wild rice, which provides both carbohydrates and fiber in equal measures – both essential for overall nutrition. Finally, sunflower oil adds extra fat levels while binding all of these elements together.

Purina Pro Plan Focus Large Breed Adult Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food

Purina Pro Plan offers an assortment of recipes designed to address your dog’s individual nutritional needs and concerns – everything from weight management to allergies – there’s bound to be one available that fits.

This adult formula begins with chicken as its primary protein source; however, as raw meat contains 73% water it only comprises a small part of the final product. Fish meal provides another excellent source of protein but is left anonymous so no information regarding what species of fish it comes from can be provided.

Sunflower oil is currently the third ingredient on this list; we would rather see more nutritious sources such as flaxseed oil or animal fat used instead.

Food that contains multiple grains – barley, rice, oat meal, and problematic wheat – may not provide dogs with sufficient high-quality proteins and healthy fats for proper growth and development.
