Overview
Purina Pro Plan Sport Performance 30/20 is a high protein dry dog food formulated with chicken as the first ingredient and rice for energy, sold in a 37.5 lb bag sized for active and working dogs.
The 30/20 in the name refers to a 30 percent protein and 20 percent fat formulation, a ratio Purina markets toward dogs with higher activity levels rather than sedentary house pets. It suits dogs that hunt, work, or train regularly and need denser calories per cup than a maintenance formula.

Who it's for
Suited to owners of active, working, or high energy dogs such as hunting or sporting breeds that burn through calories faster than an average pet. Not the right pick for a dog on a lower calorie or weight management plan.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Chicken as a primary ingredient
- High protein ratio suited to active dogs
- Large 37.5 lb bag reduces reorder frequency
- Calorie density can be too rich for low activity dogs
- No attribute data available to confirm the full ingredient list
Performance notes
A 30/20 protein to fat ratio sits well above most maintenance dry foods, which typically run closer to 24-26 percent protein. That extra density means a working dog can get more energy per cup, though it also means the same bag needs closer portion control on a less active dog than the bag's suggested feeding amounts assume.
