When it comes to dog food, one size may not fit all. Dogs may have different nutritional needs based on their breed size and stage of life. Today we’ll be talking about how to choose the right food for your small breed dog! 

Small Breed Requirements  

With the health of your cherished companion on the line, there are several factors to consider, ranging from kibble shape and size to calorie count to nutrient levels. Small Dogs often have a higher metabolism and a smaller stomach than larger dogs. They need nutrient dense food with balanced levels of protein and fat, which will help them maintain a healthy weight.  

That’s why it’s important to look for small breed specific food, formulated by qualified nutritionists. 

Invest in a good quality food

When it comes to your dog’s overall health and wellness, start by investing in a high-quality diet that will ensure your pet gets the balanced nutrition they need to thrive. For example, the nutritionists at Petcurean created NOW FRESH recipes with a balance of supporting a healthy lifestyle for small breed dogs, with tasty fresh meats and fish and nutrient-rich superfoods.  

• Balanced protein and fat for growth and development and help maintain a healthy weight 
• Coconut oil and omega 3 and 6s from natural ingredients to support skin and coat health  
• Picky eaters will love the taste of the 100% fresh de-boned meats and fish 

On top of this, you’ll also want to take into consideration the overall quality and safety of the food you end up choosing. We recommend selecting a brand that meets or exceeds the highest ingredient sourcing, food production and sanitation standards set by government bodies around the world, including the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Union, or the British Retail Consortium, so you can feel confident about the quality of food you’re feeding your dog.
