Feeding guide
See table for recommended daily feeding amounts. These amounts are guidelines only. Ensure your puppy and mother maintain a lean body condition by adjusting the daily amounts according to your dog’s activity level, physical condition and individual needs. During weaning, introduce solid food gradually. Clean, fresh water should be available at all times. To monitor your dog’s health, consult a vet regularly.

Reviews
My dog took to this instantly she is 6months old and a small breed, the kibble was the perfect size and she seemed to love the flavour. The food smelt pleasant and we had no issues with tummy upsets moving to this food, having looked at the price and ingredients I would definitely look at continuing this food. She has a shiny coat and teeth although I can't say at this early stage if that is the food to be honest. She looks forward to her meals eagerly and eats it in one sitting rather than grazing
We own a small Toy Cavapoo and she was very happy when we first gave her this food. She is quite a fussy eater and often turns her nose up at kibble, especially when she's never tried it before. But she eat a whole bowl straight away and wagged her tail so this is a pretty good endorsement from her!
One reason she enjoyed it maybe is that the kibble size is very small, so as a smaller dogit could have suited her better. And she has continued eating happily for the last week or so.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was we found the design of the bag a bit confusing. We cut along the dotted lines for where to cut to open but then we weren't able to reseal it.
My just 6 months little puppy pug Rosie absolutely loved this food and doesn’t like to share with anyone.Purina Pro Plan puppy food looks this time is my dog favourite food.She absolutely love the taste and the small size really does suit for puppies.She looks happy full of energy.No problems with poo. We are both happy for chance to try this food.
My dog is 3.5kg so pretty small & the size of this kibble was perfect! It was tiny pieces so really easy for him to eat. He seemed to really enjoy the taste & I liked that the food doesn’t have a strong smell unlike some other brands when you open the pack or are pouring it in the bowl.
