Description

Description

This diet is uniquely formulated (by animal nutritionists) for miniature/ small dog breeds of adult age. As part of our ongoing efforts to always innovate, we’ve developed a unique recipe for teeny tiny dogs – affectionately referred to as our Minis Range. We know that breeds such as Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkshire Terriers, and Pugs suffer unique challenges due to their short stature, and so we’ve decided to help proactively combat these issues with an all-encompassing recipe that’s available in 3kg and 6kg packs.

Health Issues Unique to Miniature Breeds:

  • Dental Issues: Smaller kibbles for easy chewing as well as calcium and phosphorous for dental health support.
  • Heart Problems: Omega-3 fatty acids and balanced nutrition to work together to strengthen the heart.
  • Knee Issues: Joint-supporting nutrients like chondroitin, glucosamine, and green-lipped mussel extract as well as weight management support with L-carnitine to lessen pressure placed on the knees.

We have included nutrient-dense and easily digestible proteins like eggs, fresh meat chicken, and duck meal in this dog food for small dogs, giving your precious pup all the energy they need. The inclusion of beet pulp and prebiotics assists with digestive tract health, while L-carnitine is a natural fat-burning ingredient that assists in weight-gain prevention.

Feeding Guidelines

FEEDING GUIDELINES

BODY WEIGHT (kg)RECOMMENDED DAILY AMOUNT (GRAMS PER DAY)
1–320-50
3–550-75

10-13130-160
13-15160-180

These amounts are averages based on normal environmental temperatures. Individual needs vary, and feeding should be adjusted as required to maintain a lean, healthy body weight.
Divide the recommended daily amount into two equal-sized meals per day. Limit other foods, table scraps and snacks, because feeding these would be counterproductive. Avoid changing between different diets as this may cause digestive upsets for your dog. Keep in mind that each dog is different and will have different daily nutritional requirements, therefore adjust feeding amounts to ensure a lean, healthy body condition is maintained.
