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 either their strength or their speed, resulting in two fundamentally different body types: robust and athletic. Recent research showed that these two body types have very different characteristics, which influence nutritional needs even during the growth process. For example, robust large breeds generally have more body fat and benefit from a lower calorie intake to prevent them from gaining weight. Athletic large breeds use more energy during daily activities and therefore need energy-rich food. Even when resting, athletic large breeds expend more energy than robust breeds.

Product information
Puppy Large Robust has been 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. Robust large breed puppies tend to have naturally lower metabolisms (they use less energy) than athletic large breeds. This specially adapted diet supports the robust physique.

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

ROBUST PHYSICS
L-Carnitine, in combination with appropriate protein and fat levels, to support harmonious growth for healthy joint development, as puppies with a robust physique have a tendency to become overweight.

BRAIN & VISION
Contains DHA, originally present in breast milk, essential for better brain and vision development.

Nutrition during weaning and the growth process
During the first three weeks of life, the mother provides all of the puppy's nutritional needs. During the following three to six weeks, give the puppy a portion of PRO PLAN® Puppy, diluted with water, 3 to 4 times a day. Once the puppy has stopped suckling, give the recommended amount. After three months, gradually add less water. Lean body condition during the growth process is important for healthy development.

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