Feeding guide
See table for recommended daily feeding amounts. These amounts are guidelines only. Ensure your puppy and mother maintain a lean body condition by adjusting the daily amounts according to your dog’s activity level, physical condition and individual needs. During weaning, introduce solid food gradually. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times. To monitor your dog’s health, consult a vet regularly.

Reviews
When we got our puppy everyone said ‘Oh he’ll any puppy food, puppies aren’t fussy’. That was a lie 😂. Our puppy like nothing, I tried many brands and even the vet was a bit taken back by how fussy he was. Then by chance I got offered this trial and I am please to say, we found a WINNER! He loves it so much we’ve even found him in the bag eating extra 😂. Safe to say we will continue on with the Pro Plan and so will his brother and sister. We gave samples to the other families who own Stan’s brother and sister and it was a hit with them as well. It gave Stan a lot more energy, his cost his nice and glossy and it’ll keep his teeth healthy as well. 100% recommend to friends and family as well
My puppy absolutely loved this he can be quite fussy and usually won’t eat biscuits without meat mixed in with it but these my dog ate no problem with any mixer. Would highly recommended this product
Purina Pro Plan Opti start for large puppy is well balanced dry food for dogs. It has very good ingredients what helps to support growth of my puppy. Its full of vitamins and minerals, just what healthy puppy needs. My Panda love taste of it and its perfect size for her. We can see difference in her coat already, just after 2 weeks. Its much shinier and soft. We are happy we found our new favourite brand for my very fussy dog
I brought this feed for my Dobermann Puppy as it was recommended by DobermannPlanet. He looks fabulous and is growing appropriately. Poos are well formed and no sickness either.I will keep him on it and switch to ProPlan Large
Athletic Adult when the time comes.
It is also very good value for money and local Pet Superstore delivers a 12kg bag with no extra delivery charge.
