Give your puppy the nutritional building blocks he needs for healthy growth and development with Purina PRO PLAN Healthy Start. Each high quality dry food features outstanding nutrition specifically designed for puppies and high-quality chicken pieces as the #1 ingredient.

Purina PRO PLAN® Healthy Start PUPPY products contain colostrum, which helps support puppies' immune response up to 50% more. Colostrum also helps to optimise the balance of the gut microflora, helping minimise the incidence of loose stools that is so common during puppyhood.
Purina PRO PLAN® Healthy Start contains adjusted protein and fat levels to promote healthy growth and long-term health, as well as nutrients that support healthy joints.

Purina PRO PLAN Healthy Start LARGE ATHLETIC PUPPY is suitable for large athletic breed puppies (more than 25 kg adult weight). This dry puppy food contains vitamin D, minerals and specific levels of omega-3 fatty acids (0.3%) to help support healthy teeth and gums. It is rich in high quality chicken and provides optimal nutrition for your large puppy's growth up to 18-24 months of age, when they become fully grown.

Discover the benefits HEALTHY START products can make to your puppy's health and wellbeing. 
Also suitable for gestating / lactating bitches.
If you want to give your dog some variety, explore the different flavours of PRO PLAN recipes with added benefits - for example, Lamb in Sensitive Digestion or Salmon in Sensitive Skin products.

All PRO PLAN® products are formulated to make the most of high-quality ingredients, delivering efficient nutrient absorption and targeted benefits at every stage of life. In fact, we are so sure your pet will love it, that we are offering the chance to try PRO PLAN® risk free, with 100% money back guarantee*.

Feeding guide

See table for recommended daily feeding amounts. These amounts are guidelines only. Ensure your puppy and mother maintain a lean body condition by adjusting the daily amounts according to your dog’s activity level, physical condition and individual needs.

"My puppy loves it!"
5/5

Our new puppy Odin aged 11 weeks loves PRO PLAN Optistart Large Athletic Puppy Dry Dog Food Chicken. His previous food left him a bit 'windy', but after carefully integrating Purina into his diet this has improved dramatically. We also use it as a treat for training which Odin really enjoys. Definitely happy with the product and will likely purchase for Odin going forward

"My dog loves this"
5/5

I got this as my almost 8 month old boxer puppy is a typical boxer and so full of energy and it didn’t disappoint - this really kept her furled up and had no problems with her eating this food - she loved it - I will definitely be getting it again for her.

"Goes down a treat"
5/5

We have an 8 month old black lab who loved this food - first time trying it. The larger kibble size works well for her, she eats from a big kong and it made it that bit harder for her to get out. We we’re given the pack as a free sample to test, and I’d definitely buy it again.

"First Class"
5/5

We were given a small pack from the breeder when we bought our GSD
We then took up the opportunity to have a free 3kgs pack. I can see us always buying this food as Sammie lives it. She is so healthy and now at 4 months old is a healthy 20kgs
