- Use the information below to regularly monitor your dog's body condition and modify your feeding amounts in order to realize these health benefits.

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.

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.

Feeding Instructions for Pro Plan Large Breed Adult Formula
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.
