FANTASTIC

We have always had GSD's and have had lot's of trouble with their eating habits. Upset tummies, sickness, taking a long time to eat the food. We had given them the food prescribed by the breeders for each dog, but in every case we had lots of trouble with it. Then we got our Barney, the breeder told us to give him Purine Pro-plan - large puppy - athletic. He has never looked back, he loves it, no sickness, no upset tummy, he refuses to go out first thing in the morning until he has had his breakfast. He has gone from a little bundle of fur to a beautiful specimen of fun. He is a joy to behold. I was dreading the eating habits when we got him but thanks to Purina we never had a problem.

Superb Results!!!

We have been using Pro Plan Puppy Large Athletic on our 21 month old Rhodesian Ridgeback since he was 6 months old as advised from our breeder. His physhic is remarkable as well as his coat has such a glossy shine to it and feels great! He just looks absolutely stunning!!

Highly recommended

Breeder advised us to use this and we can see why, the dog is so fit and health, and has a wonderful coat - we'd recommend it to any one with a GSD

Would never change....

My Breeder recommended Pro Plan Athletic from the very start and I can see why! My Rhodesian Ridgeback absolutely loves the stuff. His coat is very smooth & shiny and his muscle tone looks to be brilliant! Cant beat it!

Brilliant

My boxers were on Royal Canin which was fine but I decided to change them to Pro Plan as I had been interested in pro plan for a while and what a difference it made, my boy really toned up and looks fantastic & his coat is gleaming!

The only food I trust completely

All of our dogs have been on this and have never had any skin, coat or health problems. The new Labrador puppy just loves it.

excellent

Our dobie was on royal canin before which was not really doing him any good. We swapped him onto this athletic large breed food and he looks fantastic, he no longer has dandruff and his coat gleams.
