Why your puppy needs a special diet for health & happiness

Aside from their energetic nature and racing metabolism, small breed puppies need a special diet for a number of important reasons.

• Smaller stomachs: These puppies have smaller stomachs, so they can only eat so much in one sitting. Our puppy food for small breeds is calorie-dense and packed with nutrients, so your puppy will have all their dietary needs covered in a smaller serving size.
• Faster growth rate: Smaller breed puppies have a faster growth rate than larger breed puppies, reaching their adult size much sooner. Your pup needs a diet that can support such rapid development, which is why our puppy food balances proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals to support their bone and muscle development.
• Small mouth and puppy teeth: Small puppies have smaller mouths and crowded teeth, so miniature-sized biscuits are a must-have. Plus, dry food for puppies has a firmer texture (compared with wet food) to promote chewing.
• Nutrient density: Due to their size, small breed puppies need a nutrient-dense diet to provide all the essential vitamins and minerals they need for overall health and well-being. Our puppy food for small breeds balances all the right ingredients and benefits to support your pup. 

As always, we recommend booking an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the right foods for your puppy!
