ProPlan is a fairly good quality food that contains natural poultry or fish, cereals, and vitamin supplements. I would like to note the wide selection of flavors. Veterinary food is of high quality, helps maintain the cat’s condition and strengthens the immune system.

Evgeniy, veterinarian

I use Proplan Light to feed a cat who has been overweight for a long time. The food contains a high amount of protein, L-carnitine and a small amount of fat. The cat happily eats food with turkey and rice. A few months after use, I managed to bring my weight back to normal. The animal has become more active and feels great.

Hope

This is the only food that suited our cat.
She eats it with pleasure. For variety, I offer pouches with chicken, lamb, and salmon flavors. As the main diet I use Proplan Adult, which has a balanced composition and contains natural meat. Svetlana

Reviews

The expert's review of the Proplan line was given after pet owners, whose opinions were divided, spoke about it. Some pointed out that the food was not suitable for the pet, while others, on the contrary, said that it was good food.

The expert agreed that the nutritional components are not ideally selected and may cause different reactions in cats or be individually intolerable.

The composition of the feed makes them premium quality products. Thanks to the wide range and variety of flavors, you can choose Pro Plan food for the most picky pet.

Main Ingredients

A clear advantage of Purina Pro Plan food for domestic cats is the high proportion of protein in the composition. In mixtures of this brand, the protein content reaches 40% - an ideal amount for a healthy and active animal. For sick or sterilized cats, the percentage of protein in the diet should be reduced.

The main ingredient of the food is chicken meat. It is usually present in foods containing salmon, rabbit, and turkey. Moreover, it makes up the majority of the total amount of meat. Flavoring additives are responsible for the taste variety. Although there is still 2–3% natural fish or poultry.

The food also contains:

• enzymes and prebiotics;
• vitamins, mineral supplements;
• cereals (rice, corn);
• vegetable and animal fats;
• liver;
• aromatic additives;
• cellulose powder;
• Brewer's yeast;
• Wheat flour.

The last few ingredients are not the best ingredients for pet feeding. They are allergens and can cause skin irritation and itching and hair loss.

The presence of enzymes, prebiotics, the correct ratio of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus are the advantages of Pro Plan food. These substances have a positive effect on the digestive system of animals, promote proper development and health.

Advantages and disadvantages

The previous point proves that even reputable dog foods can have negative aspects. Obviously, this food does not belong to the super-premium segment, but it still confirms its premium status. This is why ProPlan is better for dogs than Hills, Dog Chow and similar brands. But to form an objective view of ProPlan, you need to analyze all the pros and cons even before purchasing a trial pack.

Pros:

• The company presents a wide variety of products. It will be possible to choose diets depending on the size of the breed, age, and health characteristics of the animal.
• The assortment includes dry and wet food varieties. And they are all sold in packages of different weights and sizes, which allows you to choose the most optimal nutrition.
• The price, in comparison with other premium products, is quite adequate. You can find dog food costing up to 500 rubles, albeit in small quantities.
• Most feeds, distributed in packages of three kilograms or more, have a fairly small daily consumption. This further reduces the dog owner’s expenses on food.
• Mineral and vitamin complexes are indicated at the very end of the composition, but their quantity is optimal for four-legged pets.

Minuses:

• The composition includes substances that are not beneficial even for a healthy animal. Cellulose and monosodium glutamate can cause irreparable harm to a dog, especially if added to veterinary or dietary food.
• The manufacturer does not confirm or deny this, but a chemical analysis of ProPlan showed that it contains meat by-products. This reduces its nutritional value.
• Quality standards have been changed for our country, and, unfortunately, not for the better. In Russia there are completely different formulations, composition components and concentrations of non-natural substances.
• You can buy specialized medicinal food in a small locality only through a veterinary clinic. And they often add a percentage, so the price of food for sick dogs can be an unpleasant surprise.
• If you do not take into account minerals and vitamins, the diets have a rather poor composition. Too large a percentage of the components are allocated to rice, corn and other banal stomach fillers.
