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
My puppy is 8 months old and been a fussy little beggar since the beginning. We've tried raw, cooked, cold pressed, and kibble and up until now hasn't been overly fussed about anything. We'll, I don't know what it is about this stuff but he absolutely loves it! He finishes what's in his bowl and looks for more which is completely unheard of, we've even started using it for training. His poo is consistent and firm and we had no issues switching. His coat is beautiful and soft and he's abound with energy. We're an all round happy crew!
I am really impressed with this dog food. My puppy (8 months) is not really a fan of dry food but we find wet food doesn't agree with her stomach. It felt like we had tried everything, once we put her on this she was happy to eat it. We also used it for training, rather than using high energy treats we find normal food works better. This was super successful and we will definitely be buying this again.
Our new puppy Odin aged 11 weeks loves PRO PLAN Optistart Large Athletic Puppy Dry Dog Food Chicken. His previous food left him a bit 'windy', but after carefully integrating Purina into his diet this has improved dramatically. We also use it as a treat for training which Odin really enjoys. Definitely happy with the product and will likely purchase for Odin going forward
This food is amazing quality my dog love this food he’s been tucking in daily and loving every bowl, he didn’t take so well to the purina beta so I was thankful to purina for this brand as now this is the one I will be sticking with, it’s very good and
