Plus Puppy Dry Dog Food for Large Dogs High Protein Growth Support, Real Chicken - 31.1 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.

My pup loves this food.

My puppy loves the taste of this food. It is full of vitamins that help with his growth. He has no problem with digestion. Very reasonably priced

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!

The product itself is great! No issues with quality or how my dog is growing well and healthy. The "meat pieces" that are in with kibble occasionally stop up the gravity feeder, but I still prefer that ingredient. My dog usually eats that part first. I am not fond of the shipper, USPS. First bag was delivered no issue bu them. However, this month's bag is days overdue. According to the tracker less than 30 minutes of being scanned as recieved they updated their digital end to say my mailbox is full. I live more than 30 minutes away from my local usps, so not physically possible. The handwritten portion they left in my mailbox said that my package is too heavy. I called usps to resend the bad to my home. The scheduled redelivery date has passed without any update. I have requested an inquiry through USPS. I'm still waiting for my dog food and reply from them. I don't understand how they can stop a delivery of a 31 pound package because it is too heavy. Perhaps sender didn't pay enough or my local usps employee needs to find new employment. Edit to add my USPS service is atrocious. Dude tried to tell me to my face it was over 50lbs. I laughed, opened the box and showed him 31.1lbs printed largely. He also smashed my cactus that was delivered at the same time. Hope my plant bit him back through the box. I changed to 5 stars. *Wish I could chose delivery carrier with subscription.*

Purina just keeps getting more expensive. Good product but for the price I will be looking for a different brand.

This is what our breeder feeds and our Bernese Mtn Dog pup is doing well on it. We add a little water or goat milk before feeding. Big bag lasts a while.

I have a 2 yr old Weimaraner and a 1.5 yr old Dalmatian, I’ve been feeding this for probably a year now and have no issues! They love it!
