Small breeds finish growing fast. This covers the whole sprint.
A small-breed puppy does all her growing in about ten months — less than half the time a Labrador takes. Everything happens at once and then it stops, which makes the window short and the margin for getting it wrong small.
Protein at 31% and fat at 20% carry that. An antioxidant complex with betaglucans supports the immune system through the handover period, when the protection she got from her mother's milk fades and her own hasn't caught up — the point at which puppies are most vulnerable. Prebiotics and highly digestible proteins keep a small digestive tract settled, and yucca extract is in there to reduce stool odour, which matters more than it sounds when a small dog is living indoors. The kibble is sized for a small mouth. She moves onto Mini Adult at eleven months.
Dehydrated poultry protein, rice, animal fats, vegetable protein isolate (L.I.P. — protein selected for its very high digestibility), maize, beet pulp, maize flour, hydrolysed animal proteins, maize gluten, minerals, fish oil, soya oil, fructo-oligo-saccharides (0.34%), hydrolysed yeast (source of manno-oligo-saccharides), yeast extracts (source of betaglucans), marigold extract (source of lutein). Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin A 21,500 IU · Vitamin D3 1,000 IU · Vitamin E 510 mg · E1 (Iron) 38 mg · E2 (Iodine) 3.8 mg · E4 (Copper) 12 mg · E5 (Manganese) 49 mg · E6 (Zinc) 126 mg · E8 (Selenium) 0.06 mg. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 10 g. Sensory additives: Yucca extract 125 mg. Preservatives. Antioxidants.
Store in a cool, dry place, sealed. Use within six weeks of opening. Buy a bag you'll finish in six weeks — the 8 kg makes sense for a litter or a multi-dog house, not for one Mini puppy. Weigh her weekly and plot it; steady is what you want, not fast. Small breeds are prone to a dislocating kneecap, so keep her off slippery floors and don't let her jump down off furniture while the joints are still setting.

Read from the weight you expect her to reach as an adult, not what she weighs now. The amount peaks around four or five months and then comes down — that's correct, growth is slowing. Three meals a day until six months, then two. Fresh water, always.
