Description
The best-selling recipe in the Pro Plan Complete Essentials line, and the one most dogs get switched onto first. Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Shredded Blend Chicken & Rice puts real chicken at the top of the ingredient list, then mixes crunchy kibble with tender shredded pieces so the bowl has two textures instead of one. At 26% crude protein it holds muscle condition, including a healthy heart, while rice delivers steady carbohydrate energy. Guaranteed live probiotics and natural prebiotic fiber support digestion, and vitamin A with linoleic acid handles skin and coat. This 35 lb bag is the everyday size for a large or multi-dog household.

Feeding Directions
Measure with a standard 8 oz / 250 ml cup, which holds roughly 96 g of this formula. Feed to keep your dog in ideal body condition rather than to a fixed number — the right amount changes with age, activity level, and environment. Start from the chart printed on the bag for an average active adult dog fed once daily, then adjust based on body condition.
Switching to Pro Plan: allow 7 to 10 days. Feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan each day until the changeover is complete; going gradually avoids dietary upset. This formula contains a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms. Provide clean, fresh water daily. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
