There's a reason Pro Plan is the trusted food of champions. From a breakthrough formula that helps promote mental sharpness, to gentle formulas for sensitive skin and stomachs, Pro Plan offers the most advanced nutrition for your dog's best life.

Purina Pro Plan and Purina ONE are both science-based pet food brands offering super premium nutrition. Purina Pro Plan offers a broader range of formulas - more than 160 formulas, compared to 50-plus formulas for Purina ONE.

Feeding dogs a diet made with real ingredients, like chicken, lamb, paneer, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and french beans offers supreme benefits such as supporting heart health, building immunity, making their coats shine and enhancing eyesight, etc.

Purina Dog Chow Natural Dog Food receives the Advisor's second-highest tier rating of 4 stars.

Both brands are often recommended by veterinarians due to their focus on research and nutrition science. Royal Canin has a strong presence in many vet clinics, especially with their veterinary-prescribed diets, but Purina Pro Plan also garners a significant amount of vet endorsements.

For over eighty years, Purina has worked to raise the standards for pet nutrition. Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets are formulated to help veterinarians nutritionally manage dogs and cats with certain health conditions.

The perks of wet food Wet food has a higher moisture content, which can help your pet stay hydrated and avoid urinary-tract problems. Wet food has just as much protein as dry, but it has fewer carbs. That can be a big help for overweight dogs, or dogs with food sensitivities.

Both dry and wet food are legit dog food sources. Vets say wet is better for ease of eating, better hydration, and better satiety and palatability with fewer carbs. Meanwhile, dry food is better for convenience and oral health benefits at a much lower price point. A combo of both can also be ideal.

A healthy diet includes the following: Fruit, vegetables, legumes (e.g. lentils and beans), nuts and whole grains (e.g. unprocessed maize, millet, oats, wheat and brown rice). At least 400 g (i.e. five portions) of fruit and vegetables per day (2), excluding potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and other starchy roots.
