Sporting dogs certainly appreciate variety in their diet, and Purina's Pro Plan Shredded Blend offers up a nice ratio of 85 percent hard kibble and 15 percent shredded pieces. Each shredded piece is as nutritious as the original Pro Plan and, in a move that canines are sure to approve of, is made from real chicken, beef or lamb.

Dog owners have the choice of Beef & Rice, Chicken & Rice or Natural Lamb & Rice. Even those who demand top performance all season long can rest easy knowing that each feeding will work to promote health from their dog's muzzle to the tip of his tail through high-quality protein, vital antioxidants, vitamin A and lineolic acid. Pro Plan Shredded Blends also promote dental health, which can lead to an increase in overall health and well-being.
