Purina's Life Plan
The Pro Plan line of dog foods is specially formulated with these elements to provide nutrition to help your dog achieve ideal body condition for a leaner, longer, and healthier life.
Breed-Size Specific Pro Plan Puppy Formulas with a Special Blend of Fatty Acids
- Pro Plan Small Breed Puppy, Large Breed Puppy, and Original Chicken and Rice Puppy Formulas contain a special blend of fatty acids shown to help reduce the percentage of body fat deposited during growth.
- Pro Plan believes when your puppy starts out with less body fat, it's easier for you to help keep him that way through life.
Optimal Protein:Fat Ratio
- Purina's protein to fat ratios are scientifically calculated based on the calories from protein needed for a dog's life stage and breed size.
- Each Pro Plan product is formulated to help dogs build and maintain lean muscle mass, without excess body fat.
Feed to Ideal Body Condition
- Feeding to ideal body condition provides real, long-term health benefits.
- Use the information below to regularly monitor your dog's body condition and modify your feeding amounts in order to realize these health benefits.
Underfed Dog: Ribs are highly visible. Increase the amount you are feeding. After two to three weeks, compare again. Adjust until dog exhibits ideal body condition.
Ideal Body Condition: Can feel and see outline of ribs. Dog has a waist when viewed from above. Belly is tucked up when viewed from the side. Maintain current feeding regimen.
Overfed Dog: Dog has no waist when viewed from above. Belly is rounded when viewed from the side. Decrease amount you are feeding. After two to three weeks, compare again. Adjust as necessary.
While Pro Plan targets the protein and fat to meet the needs of dogs in specific life stages or breed sizes, Pro Plan recognizes that every dog is different. And because dogs have different metabolic needs, Pro Plan recommends using feeding amounts as a guideline. It is critical to your dog's long-term health that you strive to keep your dog in ideal body condition and adjust food intake as necessary.

Feeding Instructions for Pro Plan Performance
Pro Plan recommends that you keep your dog in ideal body condition and not allow him 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 seven to ten days to ease the transition from his current food. This will help prevent stomach upsets. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more of Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively.
Feeding for Reproduction
Pro Plan Performance provides the extra nutrition needed by reproducing females in stages of gestation and lactation. Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's ideal condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.
Feeding Weaning Pups
Start puppies on moistened Pro Plan Performance as early as they begin to nibble at solid foods, generally three to four weeks of age.
Feeding Growing Pups
Feed pups (to six months of age) all of the moistened Pro Plan Performance they will consume at intervals throughout the day. If fed dry, Pro Plan Performance may be kept before pups at all times.
Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container for your dog daily.
Store in a cool, dry place.
Animal feeding tests using Association of Animal Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) procedures substantiate that Pro Plan Performance provides complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages.
