Pet Food Ingredients
What are the ingredients in the Purina Pro Plan?
Every ingredient in Pro Plan formulas serves a specific purpose. Every dry Pro Plan formula (except dry cat UTH) starts with real meat, poultry, or fish as the first ingredient followed by the addition of healthy grains, vitamins, and minerals to provide pets with 100% of the nutrition they need to thrive. Every bowl of Pro Plan contains 100% of a dog’s or cat’s nutritional requirements for their specific life stage and unique needs. Learn more about ingredients on the package label or the Pro Plan product pages.
