About This Item
Details
A dry dog food with enhanced botanical oils shown to support alertness and mental sharpness in pups ages 7 plus.
This recipe includes EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid, and glucosamine to help support joint health and mobility, while dog probiotic content supports gut microbiome resilience.
A complete and balanced adult small breed dog food featuring 29% protein and 14% fat to help maintain lean muscles and support an ideal body condition.
Purina Pro Plan dog food is made with brain-supporting nutrients, including a proprietary blend of DHA and EPA, antioxidants, B vitamins, and arginine for cognitive health.
This highly digestible formula represents breakthrough innovation in nutrition for your pup.
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 require 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 pets 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.

I noticed a difference in my 13 + year old dog being more alert!
My dog Macy will be 14 in April and I started noticing a cognitive decline until she started eating this food. Its my 3rd bag and I think she's brighter, more active

Not pup's favorite
Vet suggested this after my girl got older and had some health issues, but I had to bribe her to eat it. Ended up donating it to a shelter.

Sheba loves this food. As soon as I call her, she comes running and cleans her bowl morning and night. I was feeding Bright Minds for adult dogs and she wasn’t crazy about it. I didn’t realize Purina had a Small Dog version. I happy Chewy carries this version.

They like the flavor.
I didn’t have any problems with them eating. And noticed after about a week they had increased energy. They are older dogs and I was happy to see them more play
