We recommend that you keep your dog in ideal body condition and not allow your dog to become overweight. The exact amount of food your dog requires will need to be adjusted according to age, activity and environment. But a good place to start is with these guidelines for an average, active, adult dog fed once daily.
Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily.
For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
Transition Instructions
Making the Switch to Pro Plan: Although you'll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your dog, please allow 7-10 days to ease the transition from your dog's current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets.

Everything in this is what I want to feed my 9mo old Great Dane! Would that be an issue being a 7+ food?

This was formulated to provide an efficient fuel source for the brain in dogs age 7 and older. This senior formula should not be fed to puppies.
I see that the large breed size has the largest kibble, but I am not seeing what the actual size is. Can someone answer this for me, please? Thank you

I was feeding my dog blue buffalo to try try to give her the best dog food I could afford, but she started having diarrhea a lot, the vet told me to switch to the Purina for older dogs and that’s done the trick and she loves it as well.

GSP switched to Senior Food at 11 yrs old
At 11, GSP seemed to be having trouble metabolizing 30/20. Switched her to 7+ senior, & bowl movement and coat seem improved.

Old dog eats this readily
Our 15 year-old dog has been on it just one week so we’ll have to wait two or three more weeks to see if it has any effect. In the meantime loves it.
