Excellent puppy food
This food provides an excellent start in life for puppies. My 6 month old Labrador is always full of energy, has a glossy coat and maintains a prefect weight on this food. I highly recommend it.

fussy eaters
I have a standard poodle and poodle cross. my standard poodle after loosing his life long friend my Belgian shepherd, stopped eating loosing a considerable amount of weight. after trying him with differ'nt foods which he wouldn't eat, I bought pro plan. to my relief he ate it. and has a new lease of life. he is nearly 14. my other dog coming off of puppy food also is doing very well on it. both enjoy pro plan and wont eat anything else.

Superb
Having Bred Setter's and used Science Plan previously, I was tempted to try Pro Plan for my newest puppy. At six months, her coat has a brilliant black shine that others in the showing world look on in envy. Her body mass is good and energy levels as they should be. We never have upset tummies and her bowl is cleared within minutes. Although Pro plan is the top end of the market, cost wise, it has to be said you definitely get what you pay for. I will never try anything else, well done.....

FANTASTIC
We have always had GSD's and have had lot's of trouble with their eating habits. Upset tummies, sickness, taking a long time to eat the food. We had given them the food prescribed by the breeders for each dog, but in every case we had lots of trouble with it.
Then we got our Barney, the breeder told us to give him Purine Pro-plan - large puppy - athletic.
He has never looked back, he loves it, no sickness, no upset tummy, he refuses to go out first thing in the morning until he has had his breakfast. He has gone from a little bundle of fur to a beautiful specimen of fun. He is a joy to behold. I was dreading the eating habits when we got him but thanks to Purina we never had a problem.

Superb Results!!!
We have been using Pro Plan Puppy Large Athletic on our 21 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback since he was 6 months old as advised from our breeder. His physhic is remarkable as well as his coat has such a glossy shine to it and feels great! He just looks absolutely stunning!!

Good Quality
We feed our 10 month old boxer on Proplan Athletic Puppy. The main noticable thing is how shiny his coat is. Boxers can be prone to skin conditions and his skin is perfect. He has developed great muscle tone. I would never feed him anything else!

Highly recommended
Breeder advised us to use this and we can see why, the dog is so fit and health, and has a wonderful coat - we'd recommend it to any one with a GSD

Would never change....
My Breeder recommended Pro Plan Athletic from the very start and I can see why! My Rhodesian Ridgeback absolutely loves the stuff. His coat is very smooth & shiny and his muscle tone looks to be brilliant! Cant beat it!

Brilliant
My boxers were on Royal Canin which was fine but I decided to change them to Pro Plan as I had been interested in pro plan for a while and what a difference it made, my boy really toned up and looks fantastic & his coat is gleaming!

The only food I trust completely
All of our dogs have been on this and have never had any skin, coat or health problems. The new Labrador puppy just loves it.
