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.
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?

Good Stuff
By Coco on Jul 11, 2019
We have always used Pro Plan, but decided it was time for senior food. Coco's coat has regained it shine, and it seems much easier for her to chew. This is the first bag, and so we need a little more time for any more evaluations.

Scrappy Loves It
By ScrappysMom on Jun 16, 2019
This particular brand and type of dog food came recommended to me since my dog is now a senior dog. My dog Scrappy enjoys it, and I definitely saw improvement in his weight and activity after a few months. I'm hard pressed to change brands or types of food, as this one has been working beautifully for my dog.

you will notice the difference
By mickster on Jun 11, 2019
I have four friends that are vets, when my old dog (then 12) started having issue's they all said try Pro Plan Bright Mind. Wow, what a difference. He is now 14 clear eyed and a happy boy. I've already started the younger dog (10) on it as well. She's doing great too.

Happy old lady
By jess on Apr 10, 2019
I started feeding my 12 year old sheltie this to see if it made any difference to her geriatric dog anxiety. She was having trouble sleeping at night, very restless, startling suddenly like she was in pain but no obvious pain I could detect, losing interest in playing, so on. We have had very good results with this food. Her night restlessness is extremely rare now, maybe a couple times a month instead of nearly every night. (Adding a night light also helped.) No more jumping up like something suddenly hurts her. She has more focus chasing the ball and demands to play daily. If you have a wild, wall banging maniac of a dog that is getting dull with age it’s definitely worth a try to see if this I started feeding my 12 year old sheltie this to see if it made any difference to her geriatric dog anxiety.

Hoping it helps
By Liz68 on Jun 26, 2019
I can tell you that my dog likes the taste but I haven't been using it long enough to say it has helped his mind. Need another month or two to figure that out. Since he likes, that's half the battle

Very satisfied
By Judee on Jun 1, 2019
Your company goes above and beyond. I've ordered the wrong sized crate and you told me to donate it. You're so fast and very professional. Keep up the good work. I work in a veterinary hosp. and I recommend you to a lot of my clients.

Bright Mind helped with Canine Cognitive dysfunction
By JoanneH on Mar 18, 2019
My vet suggested that I try Purina Bright Mind for my dog and it helped with his CCD. One of his problems was bowel control. In the morning he could have a bowl movement walking to the door to go outside or even before he go to out of bed. Later in the day he could also have the same problem. This happened almost every day. Since he has been on this food he hasn't had one incident. My pup has always had a leaking problem and has worn a belly band since I adopted him two years ago. With this food he does tend to drink more water. In addition his sleeping is somewhat improved. This product has made a positive difference in both my sweet boys life as well as mine.
