Purina Pro Plan Adult 7+ Shredded Blend Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Dog Food
Crunchy and tender textures make it a hit with picky eaters

Previously sold under the name SAVOR Shredded Blend, this senior formula from Purina Pro Plan offers excellent quality at a reasonable price. It combines crunchy kibble with tender shredded chicken pieces---something many dogs find especially appetizing.

Real chicken is the first ingredient, and the formula includes EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid that supports brain health, as well as glucosamine for joint care. Our veterinary panel praised this as a flavorful, cost-effective choice that doesn't compromise on nutritional value.
