Pros
- Lamb as the main protein. Suits dogs that don't do well on chicken- or beef-based foods.
- Grain-free. Peas, chickpeas and buckwheat instead of wheat and corn.
- Rich in omega-3. 1.1% for the skin, a shiny coat and joints.
- For joints. Glucosamine and chondroitin from natural sources.
- For toy breeds. Small kibble and high energy density.
Cons and what to keep in mind
- Contains chicken fat. Worth noting with a strict chicken allergy.
- Meal, not just fresh meat. Most of the lamb is lamb meal — that's fine, but it isn't "fresh meat first".
- Calorie-dense. 18% fat — measure portions carefully for less active and neutered dogs.
- Legumes. Peas and chickpeas are a notable part of the recipe.
How to feed a small dog
Toy breeds need lots of energy but have small stomachs, so split the daily amount from the table on the bag into 2–3 meals. Fresh water must always be available. Weigh your dog monthly: for a small dog, an extra 300–500 g is already a noticeable share of body weight. More in how to choose food for small dogs and how much to feed a dog a day.
Small dogs' teeth
Small dogs have crowded teeth, so plaque and tartar appear early. Dry food helps only partly — regular hygiene is needed: brushing, dental gels or chews. More in how to brush a dog's and cat's teeth.
Who it suits
Adult toy and miniature dogs — Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Toy Terriers, Spitz, Maltese, Shih Tzus — especially those with sensitive skin or reactions to chicken or beef. How to choose food for allergies — see hypoallergenic dog food; other foods are in dry dog food.
Verdict
Brit Care Mini GF Adult Lamb is a grain-free lamb food for adult small dogs: lots of omega-3, joint support, small kibble and high energy density. The main protein is lamb meal, and the chicken fat is worth noting with a strict chicken allergy.
How to tell the food suits your dog
After 3–4 weeks, assess your dog: a shiny coat with no dandruff or itching, paws and ears that aren't red, firm stools once or twice a day and stable weight. In small breeds, skin and coat respond to food especially quickly, so the omega-3 often gives a visible result. If itching, redness or soft stools appear, go back to the previous food and discuss the diet with a vet.
