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
We've had this food for a week now, puppy took well to the transition over to this food with no complaints there. We can only assume that she enjoys the flavour as her bowl is always empty. The kibble size is small which is beneficial for puppies. We can't yet comment on any other effects this food may have had such as on her coat as we haven't been on it long enough. So far so good though!
My chihuahua pup absolutely loved this food. She is extremely tiny at just 3lb and prefers her kibble in a tiny form which this really is. It even fits in our tiny size enrichment toys which makes dinner time fun for her like my bigger chihuahuas enjoy. The older chihuahuas ended up stealing some of the Purina Pro Plan puppy food and they all seemed to absolutely love the taste and the kibble size really does suit tiny toy breeds especially the puppies.
When the product first arrived I was surprised at how good quality the product is. The packing keeps it super fresh and the bag is also resealable. My dogs absolutely love this food , there was never anything left in the bowl , I will definitely be sticking with pro plan
Really good product, nice size bits and my dog gets a good crunch from them whilst he easts them. He seems to fill up on them and goes to his bowl as and when he wants. Has not effected him in any way, he does seem to enjoy it.
