Pro Plan Puppy Large Breed Robust Chicken / Rice

PRO PLAN® PUPPY LARGE BREED ROBUST - rich in chicken and rice
Throughout history, large breeds have been bred for their strength or their speed, resulting in two fundamentally different body types: robust and athletic. Recent research has shown that these two body types have very different characteristics, which influence nutritional needs even during growth. For example, robust large breeds generally have more body fat and benefit from a lower calorie intake to prevent them from becoming overweight. Athletic large breeds, on the other hand, consume more energy during daily activities and therefore need energy-rich food. Even when resting, athletic large breeds consume more energy than robust breeds.

Product information
Puppy Large Robust is specially formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of large puppies (> 25 kg adult weight) from 2 to 24 months old with a robust physique. Puppies of robust large breeds generally have a naturally lower metabolism (they consume less energy) than athletic large breeds. This specially adapted nutrition supports the robust physique.

OPTISTART
With colostrum, the first mother's milk, rich in natural antibodies, which has been shown* to help promote the immune response so that it helps supplement the protection received from its mother. It also ensures a good balance between good and bad bacteria in the puppy's intestines to help resist common discomforts during the puppy phase.

ROBUST PHYSIQUE
L-Carnitine, in combination with the correct protein and fat levels, to support harmonious growth for healthy joint development, as puppies with a robust physique tend to become overweight.

BRAIN & VISION

Nutrition during weaning and growth
During the first three weeks of life, the mother provides all of the puppy's nutritional needs. During the subsequent three to six weeks, feed the puppy 3 to 4 times a day a portion of PRO PLAN® Puppy, diluted with water. Once the puppy is no longer suckling, feed the recommended amount. After three months, gradually add less water. A lean body condition during growth is important for healthy development.

Increase or decrease the recommended daily amount by 10-15%, depending on the puppy's living conditions, activity level, and physical condition.
