Overview
A dry chicken and rice puppy formula from Purina Pro Plan sized for small breeds, with added DHA from fish oil and live probiotics, sold in a 6 lb bag.
This formula targets small breed puppies specifically, rather than an all-breed puppy line, pairing chicken meal protein with DHA for brain and vision development. Purina lists live probiotics fortified into the kibble for digestive and immune support alongside the growth-focused nutrition.
- 6 lb bag, dry kibble
- DHA from omega-rich fish oil
- Live probiotics fortified
- Small breed puppy formula
Who it's for
Suited to owners of small breed puppies wanting a protein-forward, brand-name kibble with DHA and probiotics built in. Owners of medium or large breed puppies should look for a size-appropriate formula instead, since growth rates differ.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- DHA from fish oil for brain and vision development
- Fortified with live probiotics
- Chicken meal listed as a protein source
- Sized for small breed puppies specifically
- Only suited to small breeds, not medium or large puppies
Performance notes
DHA sourced from omega-rich fish oil is included specifically for brain and vision development during puppyhood, while chicken meal provides a concentrated protein source ahead of whole chicken. The fortified live probiotics are meant to support digestion as puppies move through weaning and growth.
