Plus Large Breed High Protein Puppy Food, Chicken, 15 lb Bag

When we brought home our large-breed puppy, I knew picking the food was major. Big pups grow fast, joints matter, and I didn’t want to mess that up. Enter this Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy formula — and honestly, it’s been exactly what we needed. How it performs: The first thing I noticed is how enthusiastically our pup gobbles it up. No fuss, no dragging the bowl off uninterested. After a few weeks, his coat looks sleek and healthy, and the stools have been consistent and firm (which is a real relief considering how many puppy foods caused loose stools for friends’ pups). According to Dog Food Advisor the large-breed puppy formula got a 4.5 star rating. The kibble size and formulation seem well-suited for a large breed: the bag said it was optimized for growing joints, bones and the calcium/phosphorus ratio for big pups. (Important because large-breed puppies need special nutrition to avoid growth problems.) Preparation is simple: just measure the recommended amount according to his current weight & age (the bag has a handy chart), and gradually transition from his previous food. Our vet also approved this brand. He’s active, playful, and his energy level feels right—not over-excited from “junk” nutrition, and not lagging like I’ve seen with lower-quality foods. What I like about it: The #1 ingredient is chicken (or salmon in some versions) — good to see a named meat first. It supports brain & vision development via DHA from fish oil (important for a pup who loves zoomies and exploring). Designed specifically for large size adult outcome, which gives me peace of mind he’s getting formula tailored for his growth path, not just generic “puppy” food. While it’s premium, the price is reasonable for what I’m getting (quality + results). What to keep an eye on (not deal-breakers): Because large-breed pups eat more, the bag size / cost will be a bigger investment than small-breed formulas. As with any change of food, you do need to transition gradually over 7-10 days to avoid tummy upset. If your pup has known allergies or sensitivities (e.g., to chicken), you’ll want to check the specific version (they have salmon & rice, sensitive-skin versions) to match his needs. Some users on forums noted sensitivities. Bottom line: If you’ve got a large breed puppy and want a food you can trust to support healthy growth, strong bones & joints, and a happy tummy—this Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy formula is a solid choice. Really glad we went with it, and I’d buy it again.

We have always had dogs. Always bought "cheap" dog food. Never thought getting this food would change some of their lives. We purchased a German shepherd and the breeder always used this food and raved about it. We decided to spend the money and purchase the Purina one. We had 2 old dogs that also started eating this food as they all ate together. Our 2 older dogs (14 at the time) came to life within a week. Their coats were soft and not brittle, as what comes with age. They also had so much more energy and we were amazed! They are a few years older and still doing amazing! We mix it with "cheaper" dog food to make the food go a little longer but they are still spry! This is a lot of money for a lot of people including myself but worth every penny!! We would do the same for our children and we should do the same for our animals. So very worth it!

Product arrived much sooner than the tracking showed it would. I was a little discouraged when I initially saw how long it would take to arrive, but it arrived much earlier than anticipated. No issues with the product. It came described as it should!

My dogs really love this

Puppy lives it.

I hunted for a decently priced large breed dog food for my Husky puppy for over a month and went through a few different brands but everything seemed to make his stomach sick. The veterinarian recommended we try this one out and I'm sure glad we did as he loves the flavor and for once we found one that doesn't give him the runs. Plus it doesn't have a super strong smell like some dog foods do. The only thing they might want to think about doing is lowering the price as although it is certainly cheaper than some varieties it still tends to be pretty expensive.

Pup loves this stuff
