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 just 5 months old and is more fussy then a toddler when it comes to food! We have tried multiple brands of dog food and bear is quick to become 'bored' of it.
Since starting Purina Athletic Large Puppy we've never had a bowl that hasn't been empty after food. He even accepts the biscuits as a training treat and continues to work for them.
The packaging is really strong for the 12kg of food and unlike some previous brands we have used the kibble doesn't have an unpleasant smell .
I like that the bags come as 12kg instead of 10kg like most brands and feel that the product is really good value for money.
I would definitely recommend to others with a large breed puppy like bear.
Bear is a pure breed golden retreiver and is 5 months old and is currently fed three times a day.
First of all, i answered the door to the delivery driver and wow i couldnt believe the size of the package! On opening the product i was happy to trial this with my puppy, the packaging stood out and on reading more info online about this product it sounded so great and just what my puppy needs to be healthy and grow. My puppy loves this dog food, shes always a clean bowl and always looking for more so im happy she clearly enjoys it. I have no negative feedback to give on this product so far its all postive and the more i see my puppy thrive im in no doubt i will buy this product again.
My whippet X Labrador puppy can be fussy and much prefers wet with dry, but I could barely get this open before she was trying to eat it! She absolutely loves it! I’ve mixed it with her current food to avoid stomach upset but she’s currently taking out the biscuits of this food to eat, as I type this! I definitely will be switching to this food permanently.
It’s been about a week now- and I’ve had a o lock the food away from the greedy dog! She’s never been this interested before! Firm poos and clean dog bowl, who could ask for more!
This is the best food for my puppy is absolutely good healthy food at first I was not sure if my puppy was going to eat this because first it’s very fussy and having a German shepherd they have very sensitive stomach and skin but after feeding the first time was really enjoying he’s dinner and asking for more and been very happy.I would recommend this fantastic food to any of my friends and family.
