FAQs

What does OPTISTART® do?

OPTISTART® contains colostrum, a key ingredient found in mother's first milk. It helps support and boost your puppy's natural defenses, contributing to a strong and healthy immune system from an early age.

Is this food suitable for large breed puppies?

No, this specific formula is tailored for small and mini breed puppies. Large breed puppies have different nutritional needs, and it's important to choose a food formulated for their size and growth rate.

How much should I feed my puppy?

The recommended feeding amount varies based on your puppy's age, weight, and activity level. Please refer to the detailed feeding guide printed on the product packaging for specific instructions. Always provide fresh water.

Can I mix this with wet food?

Yes, you can mix Pro Plan Puppy Small Breed Dry Dog Food with a veterinarian-approved wet puppy food if desired. Ensure the total calorie intake remains appropriate for your puppy's needs.

How should I store the dog food?

To maintain freshness and quality, store the food in a cool, dry place, preferably in an airtight container. Make sure to reseal the bag after each use.

At what age should I switch my puppy to adult food?

For small breed puppies, generally around 12 months of age is when they transition to adult dog food. Always consult your veterinarian for specific guidance based on your puppy's individual growth and development.

Why is chicken the number one ingredient?

Chicken is a high-quality source of protein, essential for the healthy growth and development of muscles, tissues, and overall body function in puppies.

Troubleshooting

My puppy isn't eating the new food.

Ensure you are transitioning slowly over 7-10 days. If the issue persists, warm the food slightly or mix in a small amount of wet puppy food to entice them. Consult your vet if refusal continues.

My puppy has loose stools after starting the new food.

This can be a sign of transitioning too quickly. Revert to a higher proportion of their old food and introduce the Pro Plan more gradually. Ensure they have access to plenty of fresh water. If symptoms worsen or persist, contact your veterinarian.

How do I know if my puppy is getting enough food?

Monitor your puppy's body condition and energy levels. They should be active and alert, and you should be able to feel their ribs easily but not see them prominently. Refer to the feeding guidelines on the package and consult your vet for tailored advice.
