Performance notes

Probiotics are commonly added to dog food to help support digestive health, and pairing that with a shredded blend texture is a format Purina uses to add variety to the eating experience in its Pro Plan line. The chicken and rice base gives it a familiar, widely tolerated protein and carbohydrate combination for small dogs.

Does this dog food contain probiotics?

Yes, probiotics are called out directly in the product name, and are generally included in dog food formulas to help support digestive health.

Is this suitable for medium or large dogs?

No, it is formulated and sized specifically for small-breed dogs, so a different Pro Plan formula would be a better match for medium or large dogs.

What does 'shredded blend' mean for this food?

It refers to a mix of kibble shapes and textures rather than a single uniform pellet, which Purina uses in several Pro Plan recipes to add variety to each bite.
