Small Dog Feeding Advice
How to Feed a Small Breed Dog
Start by considering your dog's age, current weight, ideal body
condition, activity level and individual dietary needs.
Small dogs eat smaller portions, so measure food carefully and follow
the individual product feeding guide as a starting point.
Introduce new food gradually over approximately seven to ten days by
slowly increasing the new food while reducing the previous diet.
Dogs with diagnosed allergies, dental problems, digestive concerns or
medical conditions should be fed according to veterinary advice.
