PRO PLAN® PUPPY LARGE BREED ROBUST - rich in chicken and rice

Throughout history, large breeds have been bred for either strength or speed, resulting in two fundamentally different body types: robust and athletic. Recent research has shown that these two body types have very different characteristics, which influence nutritional needs even during growth. For example, robust large breeds tend to have more body fat and benefit from a lower calorie intake to prevent obesity. Athletic large breeds, on the other hand, expend more energy during daily activities and therefore require energy-rich food. Even when resting, athletic large breeds expend more energy than robust breeds.
