Everything for small puppies The main ingredient in Pro Plan Small & Mini Puppy Sensitive Derma from Nestlé Purina Petcare is salmon chunks. The food was developed especially to satisfy the nutritional requirements of small dog breeds (weighing less than 10 kg) between the ages of two and twelve months.
