Purina Pro Plan Small Breed High Protein Lamb & Rice Dry Dog Food – 6 lb Bag, Shredded Blend for Active Adults

Purina Pro Plan Small Breed High Protein Dry Shredded Blend Lamb & Rice is a bite-sized, high-protein adult dog food formulated for active small dogs, featuring real lamb as the first ingredient and a mix of crunchy kibble plus tender shredded pieces.

This specialized 6 lb formula is designed for adult dogs under 20 pounds who need concentrated nutrition in smaller, easy-to-chew pieces. The recipe pairs real lamb with rice and added live probiotics to support digestion and nutrient absorption, while leaving out artificial colors and flavors. The texture blends crunchy kibble with shredded morsels to appeal to picky eaters and provide a satisfying mouthfeel in every bite.

How does this food support an active small dog’s energy needs?

The recipe is higher in protein compared with standard formulas, supplying building blocks for lean muscle and sustained activity. Smaller dogs burn more energy per pound, so this dense nutrient profile helps meet their needs without overfeeding.

• Real lamb listed as the first ingredient for quality protein
• Concentrated calorie and protein content to fuel daily activity
• Smaller kibble size for efficient intake and portion control

Will my small dog be able to chew and enjoy this kibble?

Yes—this product combines bite-sized crunchy pieces with tender shredded blend to create a softer, more varied texture that many small dogs prefer. The reduced kibble diameter is easier for small mouths, and the shredded pieces add palatability without sacrificing dental action from the crunchy bits.

• Small, easy-to-chew kibble designed for mouths under 20 pounds
• Shredded pieces for added flavor and texture variety
• Crunchy bits help maintain chewing satisfaction and reduce boredom

What digestive and general-health supports are included?

The formula includes guaranteed live probiotics to support digestive balance and help dogs better utilize nutrients from their diet. In addition, essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus are included to help maintain healthy bones and teeth.

• Fortified with live probiotics for digestive and immune support
• Balanced minerals to help maintain bone and dental health
• No artificial colors or flavors—cleaner ingredient profile

How should I transition my dog to this food and control portions?

Introduce the new food gradually over 7–10 days by mixing increasing amounts with the previous diet to minimize stomach upset. Use the feeding guidelines on the bag as a starting point, then adjust portions based on your dog’s age, activity level, and body condition.

• Gradually increase Purina Pro Plan ratio over one week
• Follow bag feeding chart; tailor to your dog’s weight and activity
• Monitor body condition and adjust portions to maintain ideal weight
