AAFCO: Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Pro Plan Puppy Large Breed Chicken & Rice Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for all life stages, including growth of large sized dogs (70 lb. or more as an adult) (per manufacturer). Chicken is the first ingredient.

This recipe is formulated specifically for large breed puppies expected to weigh 50 lb or more as adults, rather than the all-size puppy formula. Its first five ingredients by pre-cook weight are chicken, rice, corn protein meal, whole grain corn and poultry by-product meal. Compared with the standard puppy line, the guaranteed fat minimum here is lower at 13 percent, a level Purina uses on large breed puppy formulas to moderate growth rate, and the fiber maximum is higher at 4.75 percent. The AAFCO statement covers all life stages, including growth of large sized dogs. Purina packages this recipe in a 34 lb bag. The feeding chart is organized by the dog's expected mature weight rather than current weight alone, running from about 1-1/3 cups a day for a young puppy expected to mature at 50 to 75 lb up to roughly 8 cups for one expected to mature at 131 to 155 lb. Sniff and Shift makes single ingredient freeze dried treats, which are treats rather than meals, and they pair with any complete diet on this list.
