Small breed dogs from puppyhood to adulthood have a higher metabolic rate than large breed dogs. This means that they require more calories per pound than large dogs. A calorie dense food will satisfy their energy needs, but caution must be applied to not overfeed which will result in obesity. We've carefully selected foods for small breeds that are high in protein and moderate in fat to provide the needed calories yet prevent weight gain. Small dogs also tend to live longer than large breed dogs. Thus, a diet rich in antioxidants could help prevent free radical damage during their longer lifespan. By feeding a complete & balanced dog food your small breed dog will be happy and healthy for many more years.
