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.

We have four Corgis. Milo, the oldest at 12 yrs,7 months was going into la la land. Lying around, looking at us like "and who are you", limited energy etc. Our breeder told us she had an older dog, Josh, who at 14 was totally senile. She read about this food, so she tried it. He became her old Josh. She took him off it, he went back to a vegetative state. So we bought it and Milo came back to life. It does not improve body strength, or solve a hind end slowly wearing out, but it does give you a dog back that knows you, licks your hand, ears up at his name and one of the family again. We are on our second bag now.

I always buy my Dogs the small breed Bright Minds and the older dogs love it. This time I bought the chicken and rice blend. They hate it won't touch it. I've had them off the Bright Minds and sure have noticed a difference so they are back on it. Well I thought they would go nuts over the chicken and rice. Not in a million years. Have to go back on the Bright Minds small breed.

I really appreciated being able to have the big bag of my dog's favorite food delivered right to my door. This formula has been great for my large, senior companion. Small pieces are easier to digest than the much larger pieces in the large breed Bright Mind because my dog doesn't wait to chew enough.

I have a mini schnauzer that’s turning 16 this year. She’s been on this food for over a year. I started it when I noticed her losing some of her playful personality, and a lot of times she just seemed confused. Within two weeks I noticed a difference in her behavior. More playful, wanting to be around me, barking again like the terrible terrier she is lol. She’s not 100% back to her old self, and she never will be because she’s ancient. But I truly believe this food bought me more time with her.

Since changing my 7 1/2 year old Great Dane to Bright Mind he has so much energy! I am amazed at how this food has changed him to what appears to be a much younger dog! I have recommended it to so many dog owners.

So, I buy my companions (Sammie) Dog, her biscuits online for Chewy for almost a year and they have done well and during that time I have moved the auto ship date up or back, and also have just started to add the dog food to the list, which I get free shipping. This is good for those who are short on time to get to the pet store. Also you save a few bucks, and delivered to your front door within a week. (Weather pending).. Keep Up The Great Job { CHEWY }...

I have a very old, blind Golden who was starting to forget her housetraining. There is nothing physically wrong with her bowels/bladder so I thought why not try the Bright Mind food. She like it (no surprise) and she is back to remembering her house manners. I can't say it is the food, but I plan to keep her on the Bright Mind for the rest of her life.

My dog seemed to enjoy this food, but i looked at the ingredients. It says "real chicken as the first ingredient" but after that, whole grain corn and wheat. Also, it's not Chewy's fault. The product delivered quickly. :) But, seriously Purina? I'm probably gonna switch to a raw diet. I'm done with dry food.

This came recommended for my 14 year old girl. Tho she doesn’t complain if she’s or in arthritic pain, I can tell when she’s not well. She has has had a lot of pep in her step since she started with bright minds. She’s also become very finicky in eating, but cleans her bowl with this. I’m a fan!!!
