Pro Plan Puppy Large Breed Robust Chicken / Rice

PRO PLAN® PUPPY LARGE BREED ROBUST - rich in chicken and rice
Throughout history, large breeds have been bred for either strength or speed, resulting in two fundamentally different body types: robust and athletic. Recent research has shown that these two body types have very different characteristics that affect nutritional needs even during growth. For example, robust large breeds tend to have more body fat and benefit from a lower calorie intake to prevent obesity. Athletic large breeds, on the other hand, expend more energy during daily activities and therefore require energy-rich foods. Even when resting, athletic large breeds expend more energy than robust breeds.

Nutrition during weaning and the growth process
During the first three weeks of life, the mother provides all the nutritional needs of the puppy. During the following three to six weeks, give the puppy a portion of PRO PLAN® Puppy, diluted with water, 3 to 4 times a day. Once the puppy is no longer nursing, give the recommended amount. After three months, gradually reduce the amount of water. A lean body condition during the growth process is important for healthy development.

Increase or decrease the recommended daily amount by 10-15% depending on the living conditions, activity level and physical condition of the puppy.
