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*.

"Winner"
5/5

When we got our puppy everyone said ‘Oh he’ll any puppy food, puppies aren’t fussy’. That was a lie 😂. Our puppy like nothing, I tried many brands and even the vet was a bit taken back by how fussy he was. Then by chance I got offered this trial and I am please to say, we found a WINNER! He loves it so much we’ve even found him in the bag eating extra 😂. Safe to say we will continue on with the Pro Plan and so will his brother and sister. We gave samples to the other families who own Stan’s brother and sister and it was a hit with them as well. It gave Stan a lot more energy, his cost his nice and glossy and it’ll keep his teeth healthy as well. 100% recommend to friends and family as well

5/5

Purina Pro Plan Opti start for large puppy is well balanced dry food for dogs. It has very good ingredients what helps to support growth of my puppy. Its full of vitamins and minerals, just what healthy puppy needs. My Panda love taste of it and its perfect size for her. We can see difference in her coat already, just after 2 weeks. Its much shinier and soft. We are happy we found our new favourite brand for my very fussy dog
