PRO PLAN Puppy

How a puppy is fed will set it up for life

Puppies need lots of support in their first months of life. They grow at a rate that is 2-4 times faster than humans, and they have twice the energy needs of adult dogs. They need special protein and nutrition to cater for their rapidly developing bodies and immune systems. So the food a puppy eats has a vital role to play, with lots of tasks to perform.

There's an immune system to nurture, brain and vision function to develop, healthy digestion and skin and coat to promote, strong teeth and bones to encourage, and high energy demands to supply.

That's why it's so important to provide puppies with the correct nutrition. Because without it, they may not reach their full potential to live a long and healthy life. And that's why PRO PLAN Puppy formulas deliver on all the essential protein and nutrients growing puppies need.

Specifically formulated for puppies from 3-4 weeks up to 24 months, as well as gestating and lactating bitches, PRO PLAN Puppy formulas are a complete and balanced pet food. They are scientifically formulated to give puppies the building blocks of life that will enable them to grow up healthy and strong.

* Up to 12 months for small and medium breeds, up to 24 months for large and giant breeds.
