Dear Fellow Dog Lover,
We try to listen to our customers and act on ideas that are in line with our philosophies as much as possible. One question we receive on regular basis is “why do you not have a small breed formula?” Our kibble size for all formulas is pretty small and works fine for most toy and small breed dogs, but there are those that need just a little smaller kibble. With the Best Breed Small Breed Recipe we have taken the same ultra premium ingredients found in our other foods and put them in a smaller kibble allowing for easier chewing for toy and small breed dogs. We have also listened to our breeder customers who have repeatedly told us how they love our food, but need a smaller kibble to help wean their puppies, including large breed puppies, from the mother’s milk to kibble.
The Best Breed Small Breed Recipe is little higher in protein and fat to keep up with the body maintenance demands of toy and small breed dogs. Protein is primarily derived from U.S.-raised chicken and complemented with whitefish rich in omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat health. The formula’s natural sources of glucosamine assist in joint and connective tissue health and probiotics are added for gut health.
Lastly, like all of our diets, the Small Breed Recipe is formulated without low-grade ingredients that are harder for your dog to digest. Some of these ingredients include animal by-product meal, cheap fillers, any sort of gluten (e.g., corn gluten), and artificial preservatives, flavors and colors.

We recommend feeding to condition, this means using the following guide as a starting point, monitoring his weight and adjusting amounts accordingly. Feeding at least twice a day is optimal.
