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.

Reviews
First of all, i answered the door to the delivery driver and wow i couldnt believe the size of the package! On opening the product i was happy to trial this with my puppy, the packaging stood out and on reading more info online about this product it sounded so great and just what my puppy needs to be healthy and grow. My puppy loves this dog food, shes always a clean bowl and always looking for more so im happy she clearly enjoys it. I have no negative feedback to give on this product so far its all postive and the more i see my puppy thrive im in no doubt i will buy this product again.
My whippet X Labrador puppy can be fussy and much prefers wet with dry, but I could barely get this open before she was trying to eat it! She absolutely loves it! I’ve mixed it with her current food to avoid stomach upset but she’s currently taking out the biscuits of this food to eat, as I type this! I definitely will be switching to this food permanently.
It’s been about a week now- and I’ve had a o lock the food away from the greedy dog! She’s never been this interested before! Firm poos and clean dog bowl, who could ask for more!
As soon as the delivery guy knocked on the door, my dog was on it. He started sniffing it and rubbing himself against the bag before I got a chance to take the packing off!
After opening it properly (this time ) he had a good sniff all around and straight away wanted to taste the smell. He soon, not to my surprise, demolished the bowl of food.
He kept coming to the utility room, every time the door got open. Axel could smell it and soon was asking for more.
After 5 days, of using it, he is really enjoying it. He keeps the guard on the door at mealtime. No problems on the digest side of it either.
So far so good.
Happy owner and VERY HAPPY Axel
Thank you, The Insiders
My puppy is just 5 months old and is more fussy then a toddler when it comes to food! We have tried multiple brands of dog food and bear is quick to become 'bored' of it.
Since starting Purina Athletic Large Puppy we've never had a bowl that hasn't been empty after food. He even accepts the biscuits as a training treat and continues to work for them.
The packaging is really strong for the 12kg of food and unlike some previous brands we have used the kibble doesn't have an unpleasant smell .
I like that the bags come as 12kg instead of 10kg like most brands and feel that the product is really good value for money.
I would definitely recommend to others with a large breed puppy like bear.
Bear is a pure breed golden retreiver and is 5 months old and is currently fed three times a day.
