Pro Plan puppy food
We stock three recipes from Purina's Pro Plan Puppy Healthy Start range: Medium Breed Chicken for puppies expected to reach 10-70kg as adults, Large Robust Breed Chicken for a heavier-framed large or giant breed, and Large Athletic Breed Chicken for a leaner large or giant breed. All three are complete dry foods fed against your puppy's expected adult weight rather than its current weight.
What actually matters in a puppy food
A puppy needs a food formulated specifically for growth, with calcium, phosphorus and protein balanced for developing bones rather than an adult dog's maintenance needs. All three Pro Plan Healthy Start recipes we stock are built this way, with protein running between 29% and 32% depending on the recipe.
Breed build changes the numbers as much as breed size does. Large Robust Breed Chicken and Large Athletic Breed Chicken are both aimed at large and giant puppies, but Purina sells them as separate formulas — 29% protein and 15% fat for the robust build against 32% protein and 18% fat for the athletic one — because a heavier-framed puppy and a leaner one are not fed the same way.
The three recipes we stock
Medium Breed Chicken leads with chicken at 20%, runs 30% protein and 19% fat, and is built around an expected adult weight of 10-70kg at 405kcal per 100g — it comes in a 12kg bag and covers small through large breeds.
Large Robust Breed Chicken carries chicken at 18% and rice at 15%, at 29% protein and 15% fat, aimed at large and giant breeds with a heavier build. Large Athletic Breed Chicken carries chicken at 19% and rice at 9%, at 32% protein and 18% fat, aimed at large and giant breeds built leaner — both come in 12kg bags.
Choosing between the three
Start with your puppy's expected adult weight and breed size, which is what Purina's own feeding tables are built around rather than the puppy's current weight. Medium Breed Chicken covers the widest range, from small through large breeds heading toward 10-70kg as adults.
For a large or giant breed puppy, the choice between Large Robust Breed Chicken and Large Athletic Breed Chicken comes down to build rather than size alone — robust for a heavier frame, athletic for a leaner one. If you are unsure which fits your puppy, your vet can help you judge its likely adult build.

Common questions
- Do you sell Pro Plan puppy food?
- Yes, we stock three recipes from Purina's Pro Plan Puppy Healthy Start range: Medium Breed Chicken, Large Robust Breed Chicken and Large Athletic Breed Chicken. Which one suits your puppy depends on its expected adult size and build.
- What's the difference between the Robust and Athletic large-breed recipes?
- Both are aimed at large and giant breed puppies, but Large Robust Breed Chicken runs 29% protein and 15% fat for a heavier-framed dog, while Large Athletic Breed Chicken runs 32% protein and 18% fat for a leaner build. Purina treats them as two different formulas rather than one recipe in two names.
- Which Pro Plan puppy recipe suits a medium-breed dog?
- Medium Breed Chicken is built around an expected adult weight of 10-70kg, which covers most medium breeds, and provides 30% protein and 19% fat at 405kcal per 100g. It is the widest-ranging recipe of the three we stock.
- Do large-breed puppies need a specific food?
- Yes, ideally. Large-breed puppy formulas like Pro Plan's Robust and Athletic recipes are built around the puppy's expected adult weight rather than age alone, which matters more for a dog heading toward 25-70kg than for a small breed that will stay well under 10kg.
