A robust-built large-breed puppy carries more frame than a lean one of the same age, and a feeding table that only asks for age rather than build is guessing at half the picture.

Chicken (18%) leads the composition, alongside dried poultry protein, rice (15%), wheat, soya meal, corn and animal fats. Protein comes out at 29%, fat at 15%, crude ash at 7.5% and crude fibre at 2.5%, with cellulose also at 2.5%. Purina's feeding table runs from 6-9 weeks through 12-24 months, set against the puppy's expected adult body weight.

On "robust" versus the athletic version. Purina sell a separate Large Athletic Breed formula alongside this Robust Breed one, and the two carry different protein and fat figures, 29%/15% here against a leaner athletic recipe. Robust and athletic are Purina's own breed-build categories, not a size difference, so check which build actually matches your puppy rather than picking on bag size alone.

Who it's for: owners of a large-breed puppy with a heavier, more robust build who want a feeding plan matched to that build rather than a generic large-breed formula.
