What is the best dog food for small dogs?
At Purina, we recommend our Purina Pro Plan Small Breed formula. It’s specifically designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of small dogs, featuring high-quality protein sources like real chicken, along with essential vitamins and minerals to support their overall health and well-being.
Can a small dog eat large dog food?
While a small dog can technically eat large dog food, it’s not ideal. Large dog food kibble can be too big and hard for small dogs to chew and digest properly. Additionally, the nutritional needs of small dogs differ from those of larger breeds. We recommend feeding your small dog a formula specifically designed for their size, like our Purina Pro Plan Small Breed formula.
How many treats per day can you give a small dog?
Treats should make up no more than 10% of your small dog’s daily caloric intake. The exact number of treats will depend on their size, weight, and activity level. Always follow the feeding guidelines on the treat packaging and consult your veterinarian for personalised advice.
