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.
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.
The Journey to Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+
From less interaction with you to lower engagement in daily activities, there are many signs your dog may be aging. Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ was created out of proprietary research that shows enhanced botanical oils provide an efficient fuel source for the brain in dogs that are 7 and older. This helps to naturally nourish their minds to help them think more like they did when they were younger.
The Insight
Around age 7, a dog's glucose metabolism in the brain begins to change, which can affect memory, learning, awareness and decision-making. This is why Purina Pro Plan considers dogs age 7 and older to be senior dogs.
The Discovery
After years of research, Purina experts discovered fatty acids derived from botanical oils, called Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), can be used, in addition to glucose, as an energy source for the brain. As a part of an older dog's total nutrition, these MCTs have been shown to promote alertness and mental sharpness in dogs age 7+.
The Results
When added to the daily diet of dogs 7 and older, the enhanced botanical oils promoted memory, attention and trainability. What does this mean for your dog? You may notice a difference in your dog's behavior, including interaction with you, interest in playing, and the ability to adapt and cope with change.
Why Purina Pro Plan?

Real meat is the #1 ingredient in all of the dry formulas to help promote total health. And every ingredient that follows is carefully chosen for a specific purpose. Plus, each dry formula is tailored to provide the optimal protein-to-fat ratio to help dogs maintain their ideal body condition.

My old dog loves this!
By Christi on Sep 5, 2020
My 10 year old Golden Retriever was having issues with a good brand food he had been on for a few years. We always give him top quality food, so we weren’t sure what was going on. After seeing his vet and talking to her about his issues, she suggested changing his food before we did more. She suggested this food and wow, our Benny loves it. He has never been a picky eater so switching foods was easy. His symptoms have decreased in to week 3 of being on this food. He loves to eat it and I think we’ve found a winner to keep him healthy going in to his golden years.

12 year old Lab loves it!
By Elizabeth on Sep 25, 2020
I just switched my senior Lab girl over to this a couple of weeks ago after she was experiencing achy joints and flagging energy. I was surprised to see that there is more protein in the Bright Mind than the adult formula, as well as more kcal/cup! Just what my active girl needs. She is already more playful with more pep in her step. Stool is firm and regular. The large kibble size fits well into her interactive feeding toy. We couldn’t be happier!

Best food of all we have tried
By Ramblinsallie on Sep 3, 2020
I have tried many different dry dog foods. From luxury brands to top rated brands I have had the best luck with Purina Pro Plan. Other foods have given our dogs multiple problems from diarrhea to weight loss. Purina Pro plan has overall given us the best results (and they love it).

12 Year Old Loves It
By Doggiemom on Jul 26, 2020
My 12 yr old lab loves this food! On my vet’s recommendation 8 months ago, we switched from a leading senior formula because she was having mushy stools and signs of cognitive decline. Saw quick results with PP Bright Mind. Her stool is firm, coat thick and shiny, and she has perked up. The larger kibbles cause her to actually chew her food rather than inhaling it!

This appears to be a winner.
By Kydimples on Aug 10, 2020
I’ve tried Rachael Ray Nutrish, Blue, Nature’s Recipe grain-free, American Journey & Chicken Soup for the Soul, because they were suppose to be healthy. It wasn’t until I tried Purina Pro Plan “Bright Minds” that my dog cleaned his bowl. The grain-free food is NOT good for all dogs. So, we’ll stick with Bright Minds.

Best fiis for senior dogs
By Jody on Aug 4, 2020
Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ for large breed dogs is the best food for senior dogs. It gives old dogs more energy. My 10 year old lab plays and runs like a young pup. I’m so glad I found this food.

Not available for over a month
By DianeS on Jun 27, 2020
Our 11-yr. old lady hound loves this food and has been doing very well on it. But, the last time I was able to purchase it was April 29, 2020. My two autoship orders, one for early June, one for late June, have been cancelled. I have requested email notification for when it does become available. Purina had also made a Turkey and Rice formula of Bright Mind 7+. That was discontinued by Purina last year. We liked that one first. Alas, no more. I hope that this large dog formula isn't going to be discontinued too.

Dog loves it!
By BumblesMom on May 10, 2020
My dog loves Pro Plan! Has been on Performance for about a year switched to another brand and he didn’t like it and his energy dropped and had runny stool. Went back to Pro Plan this time on Bright Mind. Since he is almost 11 years old i thought he would benefit from this formula and it’s everything it claims! Stools are firmed back up. His energy is up. He enjoys eating it and we’re done trying new foods or rotating brands. Pro Plan is the best!

love this food!
By Stephanie on Apr 14, 2020
Switched my 10 year old lab/gsd and 8 year lab to this food from a grain free food because of all the news about grain free food. Switching was easy - they’re both labs so they’ll eat anything - but my Lab/gsd has always had slightly coarse fur and would need a bath every few weeks or at least once a month. Ever since we changed to the Pro Plan Bright Minds, her fur is absolutely gorgeous. She only has a bath when she gets super dirty/smelly from the beach or digging in the yard now. Great switch for us - dogs like the food, excellent results and awesome automatic shipping from Chewy- we highly recommend!

Older English mastiff
By Grandmaof8 on Apr 3, 2020
This food has apparently everything that she needs at 10 years plus.. And of course she does love it which is helpful. I do add a third of senior canned food. And warm water just a little bit. She scarfed it all up. She came thin (rescue) so she’s putting on a little bit of weight . Coat is looking better all the time. I’m very happy with this food
