Factors, such as a dog’s metabolism, breed size, activity level, age and whether the dog is spayed or neutered, will affect the amount of Purina ONE needed to maintain an ideal body condition.

The only difference is the Purina Pro Plan small breed kibble adding a tad more protein by only 1%. Both list real meat as the first ingredient but the second is meat by-product for both brands. With that being said, Purina Pro is one of our favorite foods for smaller breeds like the Yorkie or the Shih-tzu, due to that added protein.
