I had mine on large breed puppy food until he was close to a year old. The reasoning for large breed puppy food or switching them to adult food is to slow the bone growth in large breed dogs. The regular puppy food seems to allow the bones to grow too quickly and can cause problems later. The large breed puppy food is used to slow growth, and I think mine grew at a fairly decent rate on it.

Actually, I do feed my dogs pro plan, but I feed them pro plan for sensitive skin and stomachs. I have said this before, but I have a lab that has a lot of allergies. Ear infections, itchy paws, lost hair during the summer.. etc.. anyway, I switched her to this food, and all the itchiness went away. She was on medicine all the time. She no longer needs the medicine. the one I feed them is made with salmon, and has no corn or fillers in it. My vet was amazed at the quality of her coat, and after dealing with ear infections and constant vet bills for 4 years, we were amazed also. There are a lot of high quality foods out there, and we tried a lot of them with no luck.
