What matters for small breeds
Small dogs burn more energy per kilogram of body weight than large ones, so they need energy-dense food in small portions. Small kibble suits a small mouth and helps clean the teeth mechanically. Small breeds are often prone to dental problems and sensitive digestion, so probiotics and easily digested protein are useful. More in food for small-breed dogs: how to choose.
Ingredients and additives
Protein comes from turkey and lamb (53% combined). Carbohydrates and fibre come from white rice, pumpkin, quinoa and apples. Salmon oil provides omega-3, and tomatoes, spinach, broccoli and turmeric add antioxidants. There are also chia seeds, coconut milk and yucca schidigera, which reduces stool odour. The probiotic Lactobacillus acidophilus HA-122 supports digestion and immunity. Per kilogram it adds vitamins A, D3 and E, choline, biotin, zinc, iron, manganese, iodine, copper and selenium.

How to feed
Check the daily amount on the bag and choose it by your dog's weight. For small breeds it's convenient to split the portion into 2–3 meals — this helps prevent low blood sugar in the tiniest dogs and overeating in greedy ones. Switch gradually over 7–10 days. Count treats in the daily allowance: for a 3–4 kg dog, even a couple of biscuits adds noticeable calories. Fresh water should always be available.
Teeth and weight in small dogs
Dry small kibble cleans the teeth a little but doesn't replace brushing: tartar appears early in small breeds. How to get a dog used to a toothbrush is covered in how to brush a dog's and cat's teeth. Chihuahua owners will find what to feed a Chihuahua useful. What "holistic" on the bag means is explained in holistic pet food: what it means.
