Overview
Purina Pro Plan's Complete Essentials wet pate in chicken and rice, sold as a 12-pack of 13 oz cans for adult dogs, formulated as a high-protein daily food with added vitamins.
The listing pairs a broad set of support claims, appetite, energy, eye, immune, skin and coat, with a pate texture and case size meant for dogs eating wet food as a full daily meal rather than a topper. Those claims come from Purina's own product description.
- Chicken and rice recipe
- 13 oz cans, 12 per case
- High-protein pate
- No artificial colors
Who it's for
Owners feeding an adult dog wet food as part or all of its daily diet who want a bulk 12-can case rather than single trays.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 12-can case covers an extended feeding period
- High-protein pate formula
- No artificial colors
- Opened cans need refrigeration and use within a few days
- Broad health claims aren't independently verified
Performance notes
A pate consistency mixes evenly with kibble as a topper or serves on its own, and the 13 oz can size is meant for full-meal portions rather than single-serve snacking.
