Description
Cutting calories on a big dog is easy; keeping the muscle while you do it is the hard part. Purina Pro Plan Adult Large Breed Weight Management Chicken & Rice is built for overweight and less active large breed dogs over 50 pounds, and it solves that problem with an optimal protein-to-fat ratio — 27% protein against 9.5% minimum fat, which is 15% less fat than Pro Plan Shredded Blend Chicken & Rice. Real chicken leads the ingredient list, glucosamine and EPA support joints carrying the extra weight, and live probiotics work on gut microbiome resilience. Natural prebiotic fiber from wheat bran rounds out digestion. The 34 lb bag is the only size in this formula.

Feeding Directions
Measure with a standard 8 oz / 250 ml cup, which holds roughly 106 g of this formula. Keep your dog in ideal body condition and do not allow him to become overweight again once the target is reached. Exact amounts shift with age, activity level, and environment, so start with the chart printed on the bag for an average active adult dog fed once daily and adjust from there. Weigh your dog regularly during a weight loss program and ask your veterinarian to set the target.
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.
Calorie content (fed, ME): 3,610 kcal/kg — 384 kcal/cup.
