Pro Plan

Pro Plan NC Neurocare Dry review

We don't put a score on this food. It is a veterinary diet, formulated for a diagnosed condition and meant to be fed on a vet's advice. Your vet has seen your dog and we have not, so a number from us could only pull you towards their advice or away from it, and neither of those is ours to do. What follows is what the label declares, what the analysis works out at, and where to buy it, with no judgement attached to any of it.

Purina lists this one under Pro Plan as NC NeuroCare, a dry diet the brand formulates for the nutritional support of dogs with neurological conditions and sells through veterinary practices.

DryAdult

Purina's NC NeuroCare is a dry diet formulated for the nutritional support of dogs with neurological conditions and sold through veterinary practices. We do not score it. Medium chain triglycerides oil at 6.5% is the entry the formulation is organised around.

Our view

Likely to suit

Adult dogs whose vet has prescribed a neurological support diet
Owners who want the vitamin and trace mineral doses printed by the kilo
Dogs whose appetite needs coaxing, as digest coats the kibble
A dense kibble at 392 kcal per 100g, so the daily portion stays modest

Worth watching

Wheat, maize, egg and fish all named outright on the list
Poultry protein and digest that never name a species, which matters if you track reactions
No moisture figure, so the dry matter readings assume a standard 8%

The details

Dog fit

Listed for adult dogs. The bag sets 220 grams a day against a 15kg dog, but on a prescribed diet the portion is normally settled at the practice, so check it there first.
