Dog Food For Small Breed Dogs (up to 20 lbs. at adulthood) From 10 Months to 8 Years of Age MINI dogs are usually very active and playful, so they use a lot of energy. They therefore need a suitable nutritional supply in carefully adapted amounts to stay fit. BODY CONDITION Meet Energy Needs Without Promoting Excess Weight Gain in the Small Breed Adult Dog Meeting the high-energy requirements of a small breed dog does not mean giving way to all its demands. Feeding table scraps may promote excess weight, which can be harmful for the health of the adult dog. A well balanced diet with optimal protein and fat levels can help to promote an appropriate weight level, allowing for necessary mobilization of energy reserves without reducing muscle tone. L-Carnitine, an amino acid found in meat protein, may help to optimize the metabolization of fat reserves. COAT HEALTH & BEAUTY Healthy Skin and a Beautiful Coat for the Small Breed Adult Dog A beautiful coat and soft, supple skin is the best sign of the dog’s good health. A diet deficient in essential nutrients can have an immediate and visible effect. A formulation enriched in essential fatty acids from Salmon and Canola Oils helps to promote a beautiful coat and healthy skin. ANTIOXIDANT VITAMINS E & C Anticipate the Effects of Time for the Small Breed Adult Dog When they are in good health, small breed dogs have a longer life expectancy (average of 15 years), which mean additional exposure to the effects of ageing. Beginning in adulthood, it is important to provide a diet that may help to delay the effects of time — such as changes in kidney and heart function and dental problems. The antioxidant properties of Vitamins C, E and lutein coming from Blueberries, Alfalfa and Spinach may help to prepare the adult dog for a long life. For adult small breed dogs, food may be served right from the bag or moistened with warm water, if desired. For puppies and nursing females, we recommend MINI Babydog 30™ or MINI Puppy 33™ Formula. Always remember to provide your pet with clean, fresh water at all times. For your pet's health, see your veterinarian regularly.
