For the puppy who won't touch kibble yet.
Wet food earns its place with small puppies for two reasons. It smells more, which matters when a puppy has just left her litter and isn't sure about anything; and it carries 79% water, which is useful in a puppy too small to hold much and too distracted to drink.
Protein at 8% and fat at 6% look low next to a kibble, but that's the moisture — on a dry-matter basis it's a growth food. Vitamin E at 150 mg/kg supports developing natural defences. Feed it alone or alongside Mini Puppy kibble; the mixed-feeding rows in that product assume a pouch a day.
Meat and animal derivatives, cereals, derivatives of vegetable origin, oils and fats, minerals, yeasts, various sugars. Additives (per kg) — Nutritional additives: Vitamin D3 140 IU · E1 (Iron) 5 mg · E2 (Iodine) 0.3 mg · E4 (Copper) 2.4 mg · E5 (Manganese) 1.6 mg · E6 (Zinc) 16 mg. Technological additives: Clinoptilolite of sedimentary origin 2 g.
Refrigerate any opened pouch and use within 24 hours. Warm it slightly before serving; cold wet food is the commonest reason a puppy turns her nose up. Wipe her face afterwards, and clean her teeth or give dry food alongside — an all-wet diet does nothing mechanical for the teeth, which matters in a small breed.

Read from the weight you expect her to reach as an adult. Serve at room temperature — straight from the fridge it smells of nothing and she'll refuse it. Split across three or four meals while she's small. Fresh water, always.
