Small Breed Dog Food

Just because they’re small doesn’t mean they need less. In fact, small breed dogs often have faster metabolisms, smaller mouths and more specific dietary needs than their larger counterparts. That’s why we’ve curated this selection of small breed dog food — tailored to support everything from energy levels to skin and coat health.

Whether you’re looking for dry kibble, wet food or mini breed dog food formulas, you’ll find options designed for easy chewing and optimal nutrition. Many recipes are enriched with essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals to support overall wellbeing, while some go a step further with grain free dog food for pups with sensitivities or allergies. You’ll also find products that pair well with other essentials in our Dog Treats and Dental Care collections — perfect for rounding out their care routine.

No matter their breed — from Chihuahuas and Mini Dachshunds to Maltese and Toy Poodles — you can feel confident knowing you're feeding your little dog food that’s made just for them.

What is the difference between small breed and regular dog food?

Small breed dog food typically has smaller kibble sizes and higher calorie density to match the faster metabolisms of smaller dogs.

Can I feed my small dog regular dog food?

You can, but it’s not ideal. Regular kibble may be too large or hard to chew, and the nutritional profile might not meet their specific needs.

Is grain free dog food better for small breeds?

Not always. It’s a great choice for dogs with grain allergies or sensitivities, but otherwise, whole grains can be a healthy part of their diet.

How much should I feed my small dog?

This depends on their weight, age and activity level. Always follow the feeding guide on the packaging and adjust based on your vet’s advice.

Do small dogs need more frequent meals?

Yes — smaller dogs often benefit from two or three smaller meals a day to help regulate blood sugar and energy levels.

Always consult your veterinarian before making any changes to your pet’s diet, especially if they have existing health conditions or special dietary needs. Your vet can help determine the best nutritional plan to support your pet’s individual health and wellbeing.
