Tailoring Nutrition for Popular Small Breeds

by Shopify API on January 20, 2025

Small dog breeds have unique nutritional needs that reflect their distinct builds and health challenges. At Addiction Pet Foods, we understand these requirements and have crafted our Small Dog Range to deliver precise nutrition to help your pint-sized companion thrive. From supporting dental health in Chihuahuas to maintaining joint health in Dachshunds, our range ensures that every small breed gets the tailored care they deserve. 

 

1. Chihuahua: Tiny Pup, Big Dental Needs 

Chihuahuas may be small in size, but they’re big on personality—and dental challenges. Their tiny mouths are more prone to plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to long-term health concerns. 

Nutritional Solution: 

Our Le Lamb for Small Dogs features small-sized kibble that’s perfect for their petite jaws, helping reduce plaque buildup while supporting overall oral health. This formula also includes chelated minerals for better nutrient absorption, promoting stronger teeth and overall wellness. 

Bonus Tip: Pair their meals with dental chews to keep their teeth in pristine condition. 

 

2. Pug: Managing the Love for Food 

Pugs are known for their hearty appetites, which often lead to weight gain if not managed properly. Excess weight can exacerbate health issues like breathing difficulties and joint stress. 

Nutritional Solution: 

Our Viva La Venison for Small Dogs is a lean and nutritious option, featuring New Zealand venison as the primary protein source. It’s lower in calories than traditional proteins and free from common allergens like chicken, wheat, corn, and soy, making it gentle on sensitive stomachs while promoting a healthy weight. 

Bonus Tip: Monitor portion sizes and balance their diet with regular exercise to help keep their weight in check. 

 

3. Shih Tzu: A Luxurious Coat Deserves Luxurious Care 

Shih Tzus are beloved for their flowing, silky coats, which require the right nutrients to stay shiny and healthy. Omega fatty acids are essential to supporting skin health and enhancing coat quality. 

Nutritional Solution: 

Our Duck Royale Entrée for Small Dogs is enriched with Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids from flaxseed and fish oil, helping maintain a glossy, healthy coat. This recipe also features New Zealand superfoods like kiwifruit, known for its antioxidant properties, to support overall health and vitality. 

Bonus Tip: Regular grooming, combined with this omega-rich diet, will keep their coat looking show-ready. 

 

4. Dachshund: Supporting Those Long Spines 

Dachshunds’ unique long backs can make them prone to spinal issues. Maintaining a healthy weight and providing balanced nutrition are critical for reducing strain on their spines. 

Nutritional Solution: 

Our Small Dog Range is designed to deliver complete and balanced nutrition. High-quality proteins and essential nutrients support muscle strength and overall vitality, helping your Dachshund stay active and healthy. 

Bonus Tip: Encourage low-impact exercises like gentle walks or swimming to keep them mobile without putting undue stress on their backs.
