Can I hold the Proplan for this month

You need to contact Chewy directly, not comment on one of their products.

How big are the pieces of kibble? (Saying it’s suitable for all sizes doesn’t answer the question.) I have a pug who will only eat tiny pieces of kibble and I would like to know how big the pieces are before purchasing. Thank you!

This variety contains a shredded kibble and a ¾ inch triangular dry kibble.

How old does the dog have to be to start this food

Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that Pro Plan Shredded Blend Turkey & Rice Formula provides complete and balanced nutrition for maintenance of adult dogs. A puppy is generally considered an adult when they stop growing taller. Typically for small breeds this is between 9-12 months, medium breeds around 12 months and large breeds closer to 15 months or more. We always recommend consulting with your veterinarian to determine when it is appropriate for your individual pet.

Transition Instructions

MAKING THE SWITCH TO PRO PLAN Although you'll be anxious to see the difference Pro Plan can make in your dog, please allow 7 - 10 days to ease the transition from your dog's current food. Each day, simply feed a little less of the previous food and a little more Pro Plan until you're feeding Pro Plan exclusively. This gradual transition will help avoid dietary upsets. Contains a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms. Provide adequate fresh water in a clean container daily. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
