Our verdict
Purina Pro Plan Sport Performance 30/20 is a high protein, high fat chicken and rice formula built for active and working dogs, and its 4.7 star average across 8,400 reviews makes it one of the more proven options in this performance tier.
Active, working, or high energy dogs that need denser calories and higher protein and fat than a standard adult formula provides.
Skip if
Your dog is sedentary or prone to weight gain, since a 30/20 protein-to-fat ratio is calorie dense and can add pounds quickly on a low activity dog.

Overview
["This large 37.5 lb bag is built around Purina's 30/20 designation, meaning roughly 30 percent protein and 20 percent fat, aimed at dogs with real energy demands rather than a couch-bound pet. Chicken and rice form the base of the recipe.", "Pro Plan's Sport Performance line is typically positioned toward working, hunting, or highly active dogs that burn through calories fast, and the higher protein and fat content is meant to keep up with that output rather than serve as an everyday maintenance diet for a low activity dog.", 'At $74.98 for 37.5 lbs, the cost per pound is competitive for a performance tier formula from a major brand, and with 8,400 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, it has a solid track record among owners of active dogs.']
Pros
High 30/20 protein-to-fat ratio built for active and working dogs
Large 37.5 lb bag size reduces cost per pound and repurchase frequency
Strong 4.7 star average across 8,400 reviews
Backed by Purina's established Pro Plan Sport line
Cons
Too calorie dense for low activity or overweight prone dogs
Large bag size isn't practical for small households or small dogs
Chicken-based recipe won't suit dogs with a poultry sensitivity
Performance notes
A 30/20 protein-to-fat ratio sits well above a typical maintenance adult formula, which usually runs closer to 20 to 26 percent protein. That extra density is meant to fuel dogs with real working or athletic demands, so it's worth matching the formula to your dog's actual activity level rather than defaulting to it for a dog that mostly naps.
What buyers say
With 8,400 reviews at a 4.7 star average and about 8,000 bought in the past month, this formula shows strong, sustained demand consistent with a well-established Pro Plan product line.
It refers to the guaranteed protein and fat percentages, roughly 30 percent protein and 20 percent fat, which is on the higher end for dogs with real activity or working demands.
Is this too rich for an average house pet?
It can be. A 30/20 ratio is calorie dense and built for active or working dogs, so a low activity dog may gain weight on it. Consider a standard maintenance formula instead and check with your vet if you're unsure.
What's the main protein source?
Chicken and rice form the base of this formula, based on the product title and listing.
