Superb
Having Bred Setter's and used Science Plan previously, I was tempted to try Pro Plan for my newest puppy. At six months, her coat has a brilliant black shine that others in the showing world look on in envy. Her body mass is good and energy levels as they should be. We never have upset tummies and her bowl is cleared within minutes. Although Pro plan is the top end of the market, cost wise, it has to be said you definitely get what you pay for. I will never try anything else, well done.....

DOG FOOD
HI TRYED A LOT FOR DOG FOOD FOR MY RIDGEBACK ALL MADE HER SICK OR UPSET TUMMY NOT GOOD. SOME SHE WOULD NOT EAT FOR DAYS. THIS IS THE BEST HER TEETH AND BREATH ARE GREAT AND HER COAT AND THIS IS THE BET PLACE TO BUY IT .

FANTASTIC
We have always had GSD's and have had lot's of trouble with their eating habits. Upset tummies, sickness, taking a long time to eat the food. We had given them the food prescribed by the breeders for each dog, but in every case we had lots of trouble with it.
Then we got our Barney, the breeder told us to give him Purine Pro-plan - large puppy - athletic.
He has never looked back, he loves it, no sickness, no upset tummy, he refuses to go out first thing in the morning until he has had his breakfast. He has gone from a little bundle of fur to a beautiful specimen of fun. He is a joy to behold. I was dreading the eating habits when we got him but thanks to Purina we never had a problem.

Superb Results!!!
We have been using Pro Plan Puppy Large Athletic on our 21 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback since he was 6 months old as advised from our breeder. His physhic is remarkable as well as his coat has such a glossy shine to it and feels great! He just looks absolutely stunning!!

Good Quality
We feed our 10 month old boxer on Proplan Athletic Puppy. The main noticable thing is how shiny his coat is. Boxers can be prone to skin conditions and his skin is perfect. He has developed great muscle tone. I would never feed him anything else!

Highly recommended
Breeder advised us to use this and we can see why, the dog is so fit and health, and has a wonderful coat - we'd recommend it to any one with a GSD

Brilliant
My boxers were on Royal Canin which was fine but I decided to change them to Pro Plan as I had been interested in pro plan for a while and what a difference it made, my boy really toned up and looks fantastic & his coat is gleaming!

Our dobie was on royal canin before which was not really doing him any good. We swapped him onto this athletic large breed food and he looks fantastic, he no longer has dandruff and his coat gleams.
