Puppies start to nibble solid foods at 3 - 4 weeks of age. Keep moistened Pro Plan available at all times.
Allow your puppy to eat at will until fully weaned (6 - 8 weeks). After weaning, Pro Plan can be fed moistened or dry.
For best results, develop a regular feeding schedule such as three small meals a day for younger puppies. You can gradually reduce to one feeding in the morning and one in the evening as your puppy ages. The routine should not vary.
As puppies near adulthood, their calorie needs may drop, and your puppy may begin leaving some food in the bowl. Don't misinterpret this as an indication of dislike for the food. Instead, begin offering less so your puppy doesn't overeat and stays in ideal body condition. Nestle Purina Research indicates that avoiding overfeeding of puppies may help their development. Maintaining ideal body condition is key to encouraging proper growth in all puppies, especially large breeds. The indicated amounts are only a guideline. If your puppy becomes overweight, a reduction of your puppy's daily food intake may be appropriate. You may wish to consult your veterinarian about a weight control program.
FEEDING FOR REPRODUCTION Pro Plan provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's ideal body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.
Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
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.

Puppy will only eat this kind of kibble
By Matty on Feb 18, 2021
I originally didn't intend to feed my puppy this kibble, but he loves it so that's what matters. This was recommended by the breeder - pup loves it, stool's firm, lots of growth. Nice to use for low-value treats too since they have the shredded chicken bits they love. My only qualm is that most specialty pet stores by me don't carry this, but I'm fine with ordering it from Chewy! Purina is on its way to rebranding itself - pro plan is definitely a high quality kibble choice and is one of the few dog food brands that are strictly regulated.

Picky Freaker my Love
By Clairesmom on Feb 7, 2021
The pup has now been through Science Diet Small Paws. Next up: Royal Canin. Next: Orijen Next: Wellness Core. Now this Purina Shredded Blend Chix/Rice Formula. She does seem happy with the shredded chicken pieces and always eats those first. She will eventually move on to the rest. I would say she is a bit more interested in this selection than the others. Now, at 8 mos. old I really believe she is a grazer and if people food is not available (she gets very, very little of this-1 tsp. ) she is not prone to be a big fan of dog food.

My picky beagle actually likes it!
By WallysMom on Jan 28, 2021
I have a beagle hound mix who is super picky! Whether it was dehydrated, dry, or the premium he would never finish his meal. He still has moments where he won't finish his food but this happens a lot less. His poops are also coming out much healthier less stinky and rarely soupy! There are other versions of this food for much more but I recommend this more than them. I also love that this is what my Vet recommended for me to buy.

My labradoodle puppy can’t get enough.
By zepey on Jan 21, 2021
I just got my puppy the week of Christmas 2020, and I researched what food to buy, and I picked up the food based on reviews. I went with Merrick beef and sweet potato. My puppy ate it bc it was all I had to give him. His meal times weren’t exciting. I wanted my pup to enjoy his kibble. My vet talked to me about changing his food to Purina pro plan, and I’m so glad I did. My labradoodle loves his food, and cleans the bowl. The best part is that you see him enjoy meal time.

ProPlan Shredded Chicken ...Puppies would not eat this item...
By Awful on Feb 7, 2021
The shredded chicken in this recipe of ProPlan is awful .... It looks like crumpled up duct tape ..... has to soak it in water to get the pups to eat it.... at the other end of things once they used the bathroom it came out whole and jellylike..... needless to say a waste of money ....

Our dog loves the shredded chicken pieces
By Cassidy on Jan 19, 2021
Our vet recommended Purina Pro, and the first bag we ever got was this kind with the shredded chicken. We went out to buy subsequent bags and they didn't have the shredded chicken, only kibble, which our dog really didn't love. We thought there was a formula change. Low and behold, this particular kind is just harder to find. Thankful that Chewy carries it!

Finally a food that works
By modz on Jan 12, 2021
We have finally found a food that my dog will eat and sits well with her. She has a sensitive tummy and is a hugely picky eater. She loves the shredded chicken bits in this food, not as big of a fan of the regular kibble bits but she'll at least eat most of it and that's all I can really ask for at this point.

Even Smells Good!
By hifidi on Feb 10, 2021
Great dog food. I was changing from the puppy's first food so started mixing this with the old and found Wilson sorting through his bowl and only eating the Purina. Pretty good sign!!

Great food

Quality Puppy Food
By Chuck on Jan 12, 2021
This is the food used and recommended by the breeder.. The puppy loves the taste and is growing rapidly with a perfect coat. The breeder obviously has trust in this brand so why change.
