Favourite "small breed" dog products
Generally, a small dog is considered to weigh less than 22lbs or be shorter than 16 inches. A few of the most popular small dog breeds include: Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund and Chihuahua. Small dogs have started to become surrogate children and like children's shopping, dog owners also enjoy shopping and buying for their "fur babies." Whether you are a new owner who needs guidance on what you need, or an experienced dog owner who is looking for ideas, we would like to help. Here are products we recommend if you have a small breed of dog.

3. Toys

This Beco Ball has a hole in it which is ideal for putting treats in, but also means it whistles when it’s thrown through the air. The wobbly shape of the Beco Ball also means it will bounce and roll randomly making the toy more fun and interactive!
4. Food & Treats
Toy & Small Breed food has higher levels of protein and fat than our other adult dog diets ensuring toy/small breed dogs get everything they need. Small dogs tend to have higher metabolic rates and smaller stomachs so need to take in more calories per kilo than larger dogs to maintain a healthy weight. When used as a general maintenance diet it can help to maintain healthy skin, coat and digestion. Made with a smaller kibble for smaller mouths.
Small kibble designed for dogs with a small bite. A naturally preserved hypoallergenic turkey and rice formulation of optimum palatability. Single source animal protein is designed to help dogs with sensitive digestion.
Hills Science Plan Adult Small & Miniature has specially formulated crunchy kibbles to support oral health and premium nutrition to give your little dog healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat. All with a great taste your small or miniature dog will love!
