Description
Two textures in one bowl keep mealtime interesting. Purina Pro Plan Complete Essentials Shredded Blend Beef & Rice pairs crunchy kibble with tender shredded pieces, and it leads with real beef as the first ingredient. At 26% crude protein it gives an active adult dog the amino acids to hold muscle condition, including a healthy heart, while rice supplies steady carbohydrate energy. Guaranteed live probiotics and natural prebiotic fiber round out the digestive side, and vitamin A plus linoleic acid keep skin and coat in good shape. The 35 lb bag is the practical everyday size for a large dog or a multi-dog household.
Key Features
- Real beef first: Beef leads the ingredient list as a high-quality source of protein, amino acids, and naturally occurring glucosamine.
- Shredded blend texture: Crunchy kibble mixed with tender shredded pieces gives picky eaters a contrast they finish.
- 26% protein: Supports strong muscles including a healthy heart in adult dogs.
- Guaranteed live probiotics: 600 million CFU/lb of Bacillus coagulans helps maintain gut microbiome resilience.
- Natural prebiotic fiber: Nourishes the beneficial bacteria already living in your dog's digestive tract.
- Skin and coat nutrition: Vitamin A and 1.4% linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, support a soft, shiny coat.
- Joint support: 400 ppm glucosamine plus antioxidants for a healthy immune system.
- No artificial colors or flavors: 100% complete and balanced nutrition for adult dogs.
Feeding Directions
Use a standard 8 oz / 250 ml measuring cup, which holds roughly 96 g of Pro Plan. Feed to keep your dog in ideal body condition rather than to a fixed number — the right amount shifts with age, activity level, and environment, so start with the guidelines printed on the bag for an average active adult dog fed once daily and adjust from there.
Switching to Pro Plan: allow 7 to 10 days. Each day feed a little less of the old food and a little more Pro Plan until the transition is complete. Going gradually avoids digestive upset. This formula contains a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms. Always provide clean, fresh water. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
