Purina^® Pro Plan^® Dog Food

The Difference Is Real.^®
Real Meat. Real Protection. Real Commitment.

Purina^® Pro Plan^® dog food enriches the life of your dog with a formula specifically developed to help maintain its natural defence systems. This includes omega-6 fatty acids essential to a healthy skin and coat, and antioxidants, which help maintain the immune system, all in a highly digestible formula for maximum nutrient delivery. With all this nutritional protection, Purina^® Pro Plan^® becomes the essential ingredient to a long-lasting relationship with your dog. Available EXCLUSIVELY at specialty pet retailers.

The Purina^® Life Plan^™ is a program that's based on an unprecedented fourteen-year study by scientists at the Purina Pet Care Centre. In the first ever study of its kind, Purina researchers have proven that the median life span of a dog can be extended by 15 percent-nearly two years in the Labrador retrievers in this study-by feeding to ideal body condition during their lifetimes. These findings were published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

All Pro Plan^® dog foods are specially formulated to provide nutrition that will help your dog achieve ideal body condition for a leaner, longer and healthier life.

Protein helps maintain a strong immune system, and build and develop lean body mass. That's why Purina's veterinarians and pet nutrition experts have developed an optimal protein-to-fat ratio for each Pro Plan^® formula, specifically balanced for each life stage and breed size.

Feeding to ideal body condition provides real, long-term health benefits. Use the chart below to regularly monitor your dog's body condition, and modify your feeding amounts in order to realize these health benefits.
